The Love From Vengeance

262: THE FEELING

ARIEL’S POV

Gazing at the screen, I could only wonder why Laura was calling again. It could be that she had found Harriet. I hoped so; I didn’t want that psychopath to get away.

I answered the phone call. “Yes, Laura?”

“Ariel, you have to come here quickly.”

“Why? What happened?”

“I found two dead bodies here. Two of my servants are dead. And it’s obvious Harriet is the one who killed them.”

“Harriet killed them?” I spoke, trying to grasp the situation.

“That’s what I think. Is this woman that brutal?” Laura quizzed.

Well, what do you expect from a lady who killed a priest?

“I don’t know, but I’m on my way.”

“Okay, hurry up,” she said before ending the call.

I set my eyes on Janice, and she was still sleeping. I didn’t want to wake her up, so I think it would be best if she just stayed with Luke in the meantime. At least she gets to have fun with the two little boys

around here.

I also wanted to visit Andre at the hospital to check up on him, but I would have to postpone that until later. I needed to go to that house to see this whole Harriet situation.

With Janice still sleeping, I walked out of the room. I went to Luke’s room, and he was making a phone call. I waited for him to end the conversation, but it went on for minutes. He eventually turned around, and that was when he saw me standing at the door.

“Hold on, I’ll get back to you,” he said before ending the call. “Ariel? I thought you were gone.”

“No, I’m still here. But I’ll be going now.”

“Okay, that’s great.”

“Yeah, about that. I’m not going to be taking Janice along with me.”

Luke raised an eyebrow promptly. “Oh, you changed your mind?”

“Yes. I don’t want to wake her up just yet, but when she does, tell her I’ll be back.”

“What if I don’t?” He smirked.

“Say what now?”

“I can just tell her you ran away and never returned,”

I chuckled. “And you think she’s going to believe that?”

“Why wouldn’t she? She’s a little kid.”

“She’s a little kid with brains, Luke. Do you think she’s like you when you were little?”

“Okay, you can start leaving now,” he told me without hesitation, and I burst into laughter.

“I’ll come back later.”

“Of course, You’re definitely not going to leave your daughter here.”

“What am I doing?” I smirked at him.

“You know what I mean,”

“Yeah, yeah, whatever. Take care,” I kissed his cheek before leaving the room.

Walking down the stairs, straight to the living room, I saw this woman standing in front of me. She was fat and round, and her brows were so fucked up.

“Who are you?” She asked, halting me,

“Just a guest,” I replied with a smile, and then I left her presence.

1 got into my car and drove for minutes until I finally arrived at Laura’s mansion, my residence, place of living, and cool words. And after parking the car, I left.

I hurriedly made my way inside the mansion, but while I did that, I looked around to see if Harriet

was probably around the area, I wasn’t still convinced that she killed those maids, but we’d just have to see how things went.

“Ariel, you’re finally back,” Laura said, approaching him. “Good morning, by the way.”

“Good morning,” I told her.

“Where’s Janice? Still at your friend’s house?”

“Yeah, she’s still sleeping.”

“Wow, Ariel. I never knew you had great friends around here. Oh, sorry, I forgot; this is your hometown. You got tons of friends in this place.”

“That tone isn’t too nice. Are you… upset?” I questioned her.

“No, I’m not upset, actually. But just in case, next time, if you’re going to spend the whole day at your friend’s house, you should let me know. Do you have any idea how worried I was yesterday?”

“I’m sorry about that.”

“Don’t apologize. You didn’t do anything here. You’re not a little kid, and you should be telling me everywhere you go.”

“I understand your point, Laura.”

“I’m sure you do,” she said, looking at me. “So, I called you for a reason.”

“Right, Harriet.”

“She’s nowhere to be found, but we have two dead bodies in the house.”

“How is that possible? I beat the hell out of her. She was like a lifeless soul, half dead. She would have no idea how on earth she could escape those chains, much less succeed in murdering two individuals. No, something isn’t right around here.”

“Duhh, that woman escaped. Of course, things aren’t going to be right around here.”

“No, I’m trying to make everything clear. I feel like someone helped her out.”

Laura gave me an interesting face. “What do you mean by that?”

“Harriet can’t just do this on her own. Someone obviously helped her.”

“So, what are you trying to say now? That one of my workers is doing shit behind my back.”

“Apparently, yes.”

Laura chuckled. “Wow, these fools. I’m cutting their paychecks.”

“Take it easy; we’ll just have to find out who did this.”

“How? Do you think any of those bozos are going to talk? One thing in life, Ariel, is that the criminal never admits he’s a criminal.”

“Hmm, yeah, everyone knows that,” I stated lowly.

“If Harriet is gone, then so be it. We’re not going to stress ourselves on that woman, right?”

“Harriet escaped, and you think she’s just going to sit down? That woman is sick in the head. She’s not going to rest until she takes her revenge.”

“And we’re not going to rest either. Those people almost took your life; they killed your son and abducted your daughter. You can just see all the terrible things they did. And you think we’re going to let them get away with it?”

“We’re not. I’m definitely going to take revenge for my son’s death.‘

“Then what are you waiting for?” Laura asked me right away. “If you were really serious and focused on this revenge stuff, your enemies wouldn’t still be alive today. Mason, Harriet, and Luke,”

“I told you already, Luke didn’t kill Luke.”

“And you believed him just like that?” Laura chuckled. Do not tell me you have developed feelings for the man who shattered you to a million pieces,” she advised.

“I was wrong about Luke. You have to understand that he didn’t do anything. He’s innocent. Mason is Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

the one who killed tanke. He paid some goddamn lady to tell me false things, and I believed it. I didn’t know how, but I believed it, and I started thinking Luke was the one responsible for my son’s death.” 1 fixed my hands on her shoulders as I continued. The hate blinded me. I blamed Luke for everything the pain, the sorrow, everything. But he had to open my eyes. He made me realize that he would do anything to keep his blood safe. He was willing to die, just so nothing bad would happen to me and Janice ”

Laura raised an eyebrow. “I see. That’s why you went to spend the night with him, right?”
