The Revenge of Ariana's Love Chapter 9
Ariana was still standing on the balcony, looking at the city lights twinkling below her. The night air was slightly prickling her skin, but she didn't care. Her mind kept spinning, weighing every possibility. Divorce with Nathaniel-that was something that had only existed in wishful thinking. She let out a long breath. Beside her, Leonard leaned against the balcony railing, his expression calm, but his eyes sharp as if he was analyzing every doubt in Ariana. "Are you afraid?" Leonard finally asked, breaking the silence. Ariana shook her head slowly. "I'm more afraid of staying in this marriage," she answered honestly. Leonard turned his head, his eyes searching Ariana's face. "That's a good answer," he said. "But you have to realize, Nathaniel won't just let this happen." Ariana nodded. She knew exactly what Nathaniel was like. The man never wanted to lose something he considered his. Even if it meant destroying someone else's life. "But you don't have to worry," Leonard contin

Amidst the sparkling crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling of the ballroom, Ariana kept a firm grip on Leonard's hand. She could feel the stares coming from all directions, including from Nathaniel who stood in the corner of the room with an unreadable expression. "Ignore him," Leonard's voice sounded soft in her ear. "We're here to change your life, not to bow to his threats." Ariana nodded slowly, even as her heartbeat quickened. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. This was a moment they had carefully prepared for. If their plan went their way, Nathaniel would no longer have control over her. A woman in a black dress approached them, a friendly smile gracing her face. "Leonard, you finally showed up at this event." "Clara." Leonard replied with a brief nod. Clara turned her gaze to Ariana, her eyes scanning up and down. "And who is this beautiful woman?" Ariana smiled faintly. "Ariana." Clara raised her eyebrows. "Ariana... Nathaniel's wife?" Leonar

Ariana felt her heartbeat quicken as Leonard looked at her deeply. The air between them seemed to tighten, as if something was unspoken but felt so real. "I protected you because I..." Leonard hung on his words, making Ariana even more curious. Because of what? Because of their plan? Or was there another, deeper reason? However, before Leonard could continue, the vibrating sound of the cell phone in his pocket broke the tension between them. He sighed softly, then picked up his phone. His face turned serious when he saw the name on the screen. "I have to pick this up," he said briefly before walking away. Ariana nodded wordlessly. Once Leonard had gone to his office, she pressed her temples together, trying to make sense of everything that had just happened. Nathaniel was clearly not going to stay silent, and his threat from earlier was still ringing in his ears. You will suffer more living with Leonard Sinclair. Those words made her feel uncomfortable. Nathaniel was cunning, bu

Ariana stared at Leonard, trying to read the expression on his face. The man didn't show the slightest hesitation, as if every word he said really came from the heart. "Is this real?" repeated Ariana, her voice almost a whisper. Leonard didn't answer right away. He stepped closer, close enough that Ariana could feel his warm breath on her skin. The look in his eyes was so intense that she found it difficult to look away. "What do you feel, Ariana?" Leonard asked softly. Ariana bit her lip. She couldn't answer. Too many things were running through her mind. Feelings that shouldn't be there were slowly starting to consume her. Leonard waited. He didn't force her to answer, but he didn't avert his gaze either. "I... don't know," Ariana finally said honestly. "I'm afraid this is just part of our plan. I'm afraid if I start believing, I'll get hurt again." Leonard lifted a hand and tucked Ariana's hair behind her ear in a gentle motion. "I can't force your feelings, Ariana. But I can

Ariana held her phone tightly, her gaze not leaving the message she had just received. Langford Hotel. It wasn't just any hotel-it was one of the luxury hotels often used by high-end businessmen for secret meetings. The fact that the sender of the message chose that place made Ariana even more suspicious. Who was this person? What did he know about Leonard? Ariana looked over to Leonard's open study door. The man was now busy with his laptop, his fingers moving over the keyboard with incredible speed. He seemed focused, as if he didn't realize how many questions were filling Ariana's head right now. If she asked Leonard directly, would she get an honest answer? No, she wouldn't. So far, Leonard had never given her any reason to doubt his intentions. But isn't that what makes things even scarier? When someone is too perfect, too trustworthy, there's often something hidden underneath. Ariana swallowed. There was only one way to find out the truth-she had to go to the Langford Hote

As Ariana walked out of the restaurant, the cool morning breeze hit her face, but she didn't feel it at all. Her chest felt so tight, as if something was pressing hard from within. Every word Leonard and Darinna said was still ringing in her ears. "She's starting to trust me." So all this time, everything Leonard did was a lie? Every gentle gaze, every caring touch, every promise he made - all part of a master plan to destroy Nathaniel? Ariana swallowed, holding back the tears that welled up in her eyes. No, she couldn't. She couldn't cry. Not here, not now. She had to think clearly. Her hand squeezed her cell phone tightly. The photos she had just taken from inside the restaurant were irrefutable proof. She could confront Leonard right away, but why would she? The man was a master manipulator. He must have a thousand reasons to distort the truth. No, Ariana had to go one step further. She had to make sure that when the time came, Leonard would have no way around it. --- After

However, in her heart, she knew that Leonard was testing her. He wouldn't just give him important information. She had to be smarter, more cunning than Leonard to uncover the truth that had been hidden. That night, Ariana sat in her study with the documents she had stolen from Leonard's office spread out on the table. She read each sheet carefully, trying to find an opening she could exploit. Her eyes suddenly widened when she saw one document that bore Darinna's signature. This was proof that Leonard and Darinna were indeed working together. But what was even more shocking was the amount of money that was being funneled into a hidden account in the name of someone she was familiar with - her stepmother who had abandoned her after the death of her father. Ariana's blood froze. Suddenly, all those bad memories invaded her mind. When her biological father went bankrupt and lost everything, when her family was destroyed by Darinna, and when her mother married a man who was only after

Ariana can't wait any longer. After receiving the report from the detective, she realizes the depth of the conspiracy involving Leonard, Darinna, and her stepfather. All of them were connected in a dirty network that had destroyed her life long ago. Nathaniel scrutinized the documents in front of him with a serious expression. "If this information is leaked to the public, Leonard will be finished," he said quietly. "But we have to do it right," Ariana replied. "I want enough evidence to put him in jail, not just make him lose his reputation." Nathaniel nodded. "I can help you. But we need a good strategy." Ariana looked at Nathaniel with eyes full of conviction. "What should we do?" Nathaniel leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment. "We need to find additional, stronger evidence. I have contacts in the financial sector who can track Leonard's hidden financial flows. If we can find evidence that he's using illegal funds or laundering money, that would be enough to break h

Evening WhispersThe evening sky was painted in shades of orange as Ariana sat on her bedroom balcony, cradling her growing belly. A gentle breeze swept through her hair, but her heart felt unbearably heavy. This baby… the only thing keeping her going amidst the chaos surrounding her.Nathaniel stepped out from the house, carrying a cup of warm tea. “You haven’t had dinner,” he said, placing the cup on the small table beside her.Ariana let out a deep sigh. “I’m not really hungry.”Nathaniel sighed as well before sitting in the chair next to her. “Ariana, you need to take care of yourself. This baby needs you.”A weak smile played on Ariana’s lips. Her hand gently caressed her belly. “I know. It’s just… I can’t stop thinking about all of this. If Axel is really alive, what does that mean for my child?”Nathaniel remained silent, his gaze fixed on her. He wanted to reassure her, but he knew Ariana needed more than just words.“Have you ever considered… what if he wants this baby?” Aria

Chasing ShadowsAriana sat in her office, her hands still trembling after last night’s phone call. That voice… Axel. The man who was supposed to be dead.Nathaniel stood near the window, his expression tense. “We need to make sure this isn’t a trap.”Ariana shot him a sharp look. “You think I misheard?”Nathaniel sighed. “That’s not what I mean. But we’re dealing with an enemy who doesn’t play by the rules. If Axel is truly back, then someone has been covering up his death all this time.”Ariana ran a hand over her face, trying to calm herself. “I can’t just sit still.”Leonard entered with a serious expression. “I’ve looked into it. There’s no record of anyone named Axel still being alive or using a new identity. But there is something strange.”Ariana tensed. “What is it?”Leonard handed her a brown envelope. “This was delivered this morning. No sender.”Ariana tore it open and pulled out its contents—several black-and-white photographs. Images of her in different places.At the off

The Game Isn't OverAriana sat in her office, staring at her computer screen with a cold expression. Serena had fallen. Jonathan Pierce had disappeared. But she knew this game wasn’t over."He must be planning something," she muttered.Nathaniel walked in, his face serious. “I have news.”Ariana turned to him. “Jonathan?”Nathaniel nodded. “Yes. He hasn’t truly disappeared. I just received intel that he was spotted at a luxury house on the outskirts of town.”Ariana’s eyes narrowed. “He’s hiding there, plotting his next move.”Nathaniel leaned against her desk. “What’s your plan?”Ariana met his gaze. “We make him come to us.”Nathaniel smirked. “I like the way you think.”---Night InvestigationThat night, Ariana, Nathaniel, Leonard, and Mason approached the luxurious house Nathaniel had mentioned. The place was dark, only a few dim lights glowing at the front.“Are we sure he’s here?” Mason whispered.Ariana raised her hand, signaling for silence.They crept closer, peering through

Ariana sat in the cell with a blank expression. Her hands were clenched in her lap, her body still tense from what had happened earlier.Serena had planned everything.She and Leonard had been set up, and now they were being held on charges of trespassing and attempting to destroy evidence.The cell door opened, and an officer approached. "Ariana Vasquez, someone wants to see you."Ariana stood up cautiously.As she stepped out, her eyes locked onto Nathaniel’s sharp gaze. He stood with his hands in his pockets, his jaw clenched."Is Serena still free?" Ariana asked before Nathaniel could speak.Nathaniel gave a slow nod. "Yes. But I’ve arranged for your and Leonard’s release. We need to leave now."Ariana clenched her fists. "She’s playing dirty.""She always does," Nathaniel said, nodding to the officer. "Let’s go."As they exited the police station, Mason was already waiting in the car."Get in," he said urgently.Ariana and Leonard quickly got inside, and the car sped away."I fou

After Serena was taken away by the police, Ariana stood frozen in place. The night air was cold, but that wasn’t what made her shiver. Something was bothering her, something unfinished.Nathaniel stepped closer, his voice calm but filled with caution. "Are you okay?"Ariana turned to him and nodded. "I just feel... this was too easy."Mason, who had just finished talking to the police, joined them. "What do you mean?"Ariana bit her lip. "Serena was too confident. She knew we were going to catch her, yet she never looked panicked."Leonard sighed and glanced at the police car taking Serena away. "She must have planned something."Mason shoved his hands into his jacket pockets. "Then we need to be prepared. I don't believe for a second that Serena is giving up that easily."Nathaniel nodded in agreement. "And we need to find out what she's hiding."---Ariana woke up feeling restless. She had spent the entire night trying to analyze every move Serena had made. That woman had built her
The Revenge of Ariana's Love Chapter 50
That night felt quieter than usual. Ariana sat on the sofa in her apartment, her eyes fixed on the laptop screen displaying a collection of documents about Serena. Even though they had gathered enough evidence to bring her down, the fact that Serena had disappeared made everything even more dangerous.Leonard, sitting near the window while keeping an eye on the outside, spoke up. “Serena isn’t the type to run away without a plan. If she’s gone, that means she’s preparing something.”Ariana took a deep breath. She knew he was right. Serena wasn’t just an ambitious woman—she was smart, cunning, and wouldn’t let anyone destroy what she had built.“No word from her at all?” Ariana asked, turning to Mason, who was busy on his phone.Mason shook his head. “No movement in her accounts, no travel tickets under her name, and almost no digital traces.”Nathaniel, sitting across from them, leaned back in his chair with a serious expression. “That means she planned this long before we even realiz

The night grew late as Ariana sat in the living room of the villa where Nathaniel was hiding. The cold air slipped through the window cracks, but the tension in the room made her barely notice it.In front of her, Nathaniel stared at the documents Mason had just handed him. His hands clenched, his jaw tightened."So this is Serena," he murmured in a low voice, as if still processing the fact that the woman he had trusted all this time was actually the greatest traitor in his life.Ariana watched his expression carefully. "Did you really never suspect her?"Nathaniel lifted his gaze, his eyes filled with anger and guilt. "I knew she was ambitious. I knew she wanted more than I could give. But I never imagined she would go this far… framing me, ruining my life."Ariana could hear the pain in his voice, but she couldn’t let emotions cloud her judgment. The most important thing now was figuring out their next move."We can’t let Serena get away with this," Ariana said firmly.Leonard, who
The Revenge of Ariana's Love Chapter 48
Ariana spent the entire night thinking about Nathaniel’s request. She knew that helping him meant getting involved in his world again—a world that had once broken her heart. But if what Nathaniel said was true, then this wasn’t just about her. There was a truth that needed to be uncovered.On the other hand, there was Leonard. The man who had always been by her side, who didn’t want to see her trapped in the shadows of her past again.That morning, as sunlight streamed through the apartment window, Ariana was still sitting at the dining table, staring at the pile of documents Nathaniel had given her the night before. She had read them over and over, yet certainty still eluded her."You haven’t slept all night," Leonard’s voice came from behind her.Ariana turned around. He stood at the bedroom doorway, his expression filled with concern. His slightly disheveled hair indicated that he, too, hadn’t slept well."I was just trying to make sense of all this," Ariana replied, rubbing her te
The Revenge of Ariana's Love Chapter 47
Ariana sat in the living room of Leonard's apartment, staring at her phone screen with mixed emotions. News about Nathaniel’s financial scandal was still flooding various media outlets, and every time she saw his name, her heart felt heavy."So, what are you going to do now?" Leonard’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts.She turned to see him standing in the kitchen doorway, holding a cup of coffee. He looked relaxed in his rolled-up long-sleeved shirt, but his gaze was filled with concern."I don’t know," Ariana admitted. "I don’t intend to get involved in Nathaniel’s affairs, but… I can’t shake this strange feeling."Leonard walked over and sat on the sofa beside her. "Strange feeling?"Ariana nodded slowly. "I don’t want him to suffer, even though I know he deserves the consequences. I just… find it hard to ignore all of this."Leonard sighed and placed his cup on the table. "I understand. After all, he was a part of your past. It’s natural to still have feelings about the situa
