Mapleshade's Vengeance

In a tale of revenge, rebirth, and romance, Ashlyn Knight rises from the ashes of public humiliation to become one of the most powerful figures in the business world. After being betrayed at her wedding by her fiancé Christopher White and his mistress Penelope, Ashlyn transforms through a strategic marriage to mysterious billionaire Richard Walker, who shares a connection to her past life as a military commander named Hannah. Ashlyn methodically dismantles the White and Knight families' empires, revealing dark secrets including Penelope's involvement in her mother's death and Christopher's illegitimate status. Her revenge plot takes an unexpected turn when she discovers she's actually Steven White's granddaughter through his illegitimate daughter, giving her a legitimate claim to both family empires. Richard, initially a partner in her revenge scheme, proves to be more than just an ally. Their marriage of convenience evolves into a powerful love story as they discover their shared past lives - he was a fellow commander who failed to protect Hannah in their previous existence and has spent this life making amends. The story climaxes at the International Business Summit, where Christopher's desperate attempt to destroy the couple backfires spectacularly. Multiple confrontations lead to Penelope's arrest, Christopher's imprisonment, and the public recognition of Ashlyn's birthright. In a dramatic moment, Richard renews their vows, transforming their tactical alliance into a declaration of true love. The narrative concludes with Ashlyn and Richard's unified empire becoming a model of ethical business leadership. They establish a foundation in her mother's name, helping others who face similar injustices. Their story becomes legendary in both business and social circles, proving that the sweetest revenge isn't just in destroying enemies, but in building something greater from the ashes of trauma while finding true love along the way.

“Father, please listen to me this time.” I begged with tears in my eyes. “Stop crying. You are spoiling your makeup.” “I can't do this father, he threatened me.” I sobbed into my palms. “You can and you will. Wipe your tears, Alphas don't cry.” I expected him to ask about the marks on my neck and wrists but he didn't.

Le premier amour de mon mari a été brûlée par de l'eau bouillante, et pour me punir, il m'a enfermée dans un cuiseur à vapeur à mi-hauteur, avec le feu réglé au maximum. « Tu dois subir mille fois la douleur que Pauline a endurée ! » J'étais enfermée dans cet espace étroit, je respirais difficilement, mon corps brûlait, et je lui ai crié en pleurant : « Je vais vraiment mourir ! » Mais il est parti sans se retourner, tenant son premier amour dans ses bras. « Ne t'inquiète pas, tu ne mourras pas. C'est la seule façon pour toi de comprendre la souffrance de Pauline ! » J'ai hurlé de désespoir dans le cuiseur, l'eau bouillante sous le panier s'est mise à éclabousser mon corps, et ma voix s'est peu à peu éteinte. Il est tout de suite parti en voyage à l'étranger avec son premier amour, et ce n'était qu'une semaine plus tard, en rentrant, qu'il s'est soudain souvenu de moi. « Cette garce a sûrement compris sa faute, sortez-la de là ! » Mais il ne savait pas que, dans le cuiseur arrêté par le manque d'eau, mon cadavre était déjà couvert de vers.

“I, Siege Wong, reject you, Celestina Villarama, to be my mate,” he declared with a cold, death glare. His voice had become rough and growled as she stood there blankly staring at him, completely taken aback by his words. Eyes glazed over as tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. Celestina Villarama yearns for vengeance after being rejected by her mate. Sadness no longer engulfed every part of herself after he threw her away from the pack. She hid every inch of her vulnerability in order to survive the living hell. Siege Wong can sense Celestina’s bloodlust even from afar after rejecting her. He simply didn’t want to marry someone who was wolfless. He believed that she was only pretending to be his mate, so that she’ll inherit the title of being Crimson Moon Pack’s luna.

How will they find their way back to each other? Will there be a chance for the curse to be invalidated? What challenge awaits these two pure souls who were unfortunate in love?

Just give me a chance to make everything right," he said to her in a pleading voice. She remained silent, trying to pull her hand away but Julian held it tight.

It started out with a marriage. A simple contract signed, one where no feelings were involved, and no strings attached. A small business deal. But when their love conquers even the mafia's darkest desire of revenge. Things start taking a different path. One which would draw both the fate, and a line of the loving couple. Both Eliana and Vladimir Romanov would be forced into a war like no other. It is one of power, strength, and money. Against a man who not only wanted their dynasty’s place, but wanted them gone for good. The man was ruthless, powerful, deceitful, and he was willing to do everything for a spec of power. And remember, the Mafia's world only has one rule "there is no rule to follow when it comes to power" Would they be able to do what it takes? Will their love strive to survive through it all? Or would both crumble under it?

Lors de ma cérémonie d'union, la demi-sœur d'Alpha Derek, Victoria, est arrivée dans une robe cérémonielle de Luna à 30 millions d'euros, affirmant que notre meute ne pouvait pas se le permettre. Victoria m'a poussée dans le feu sacré, et alors que les flammes brûlaient ma peau, Derek m'a hurlé, m'accusant d'avoir gâché la cérémonie et de l'avoir humilié devant tout le monde. Ils sont partis ensemble pour leur lune de miel – celle que j'ai payée de ma propre poche. Des loups de la meute rivale m'ont encerclée. Ma louve ne pouvait pas se transformer, à cause de la grossesse. Par notre lien télépathique, j'ai supplié Derek de m'aider. Mais il m'a bloquée… pendant qu'il embrassait Victoria sur une plage des Maldives. Les griffes de l'Alpha rival ont éventré mon ventre, et mon enfant à naître a été déchiqueté. Derek est revenu en larmes, m'implorant de lui pardonner. Comme une idiote, je l'ai fait. Mais ce qu'il ignore, c'est que je suis l'héritière Alpha de la meute la plus puissante des Territoires du Nord. Rompre notre lien d'âmes ne suffira pas. Je vais tout lui prendre.

"Disobedience is the only path to liberty... Take Vengeance!" were father's last words to me. I was too young to understand what vengance was until I witnessed what seemed to be the deepest thorn in my flesh. My parents death! It was going to be a tough journey for me. With Alpha Blake's thirst for power and glory, nothing could stop him from getting the one thing he had always desired. Even with Sullivan in my way, I knew that there was nothing that would stop me from getting my revenge. Or was there? I promised not to let the love of the Devil's daughter get in my way, but even the strongest of men can be melt by what seemed to be true love. A choice that seemed impossible to make. It was going to be a rough and tough expendition. A journey of Love, Betrayal and Revenge and it all lay in my own hands. Will I triumph?

Résumé : Il m’a tout pris. Et je vais tout lui reprendre. Quand j’avais huit ans, Antonio Guerero a fait exploser mon monde à coups de balles et de rires. Il a violé ma mère sous les yeux de mon père impuissant, puis les a exécutés l’un après l’autre. Ma sœur Doriane a subi le même sort, fauchée dans son innocence. Moi, j’étais cachée sous la table. Paralysée. Spectatrice impuissante de l’horreur. Depuis ce jour, je ne vis plus. Je survis. Dix-huit ans à nourrir la colère, à former ma haine. Dix-huit ans à me forger une nouvelle identité. Mon nom est Layanne Williams, j’ai 26 ans, et je suis devenue l’une des meilleures Bodyguards de Mexico. Recueillie par Lys Taylor, une femme brisée elle aussi par Guerero, j’ai appris à me battre, à tuer, à survivre. Elle a fait de moi une arme. Et aujourd’hui, cette arme est prête à frapper. Antonio Guerero est devenu un homme puissant : ministre influent, chef d’entreprise intouchable, père de famille aimé. Mais il a oublié une chose. Moi. Il m’a volé mon passé. Je vais lui arracher son présent. Sa famille. Son pouvoir. Sa vie. Je suis sa fin.
