The Love From Vengeance

178 MONSTER

ARIEL’S POV

on my way to Andre’s company, my mind was racing with millions of thoughts and thousands of questions, since I was extremely worried at the moment. Panicking as hell, hoping for no hope to be

lost.

My phone started ringing. I didn’t even want to glance at it, but I just decided to, and it was a good thing I did that. Mason was the one who was calling. Now I just hoped that he wanted to put an end to all of this madness, just like the scenes that took place in my goddamn imagination.

After parking my car, I answered the phone call. “Mason, you son of a

“Hush Ariel. You don’t have to be so rude to me. A while ago, you were begging for your children’s safety.”

“Yes, so please tell me, where are my kids? Where’s Lukel and Janice?” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Hold on a minute; I thought you wanted to start this conversation in a rude way. What happened? You changed your mind?”

“I don’t have time for all this, Andre.”

“Oh, you do, Ariel. You have plenty of time for this. Well, not plenty of time, actually. Since your adorable twins will be…” He paused right there.

“Will it be what?” I asked immediately. “Don’t tell me you’re planning to murder them.”

“That was actually the plan in the first place, since you refused to follow through with our plan.

“For crying out loud, Mason, I can’t do that to Luke. You can say I’ve fallen in love with him or whatever; that’s not my concern. I just can’t see him go down like that.”

Mason chuckled, “You became a fool for love,”

“What about you, huh?”

“I’m not a fool like you,” he said bitterly.

“Yes, you’re not a fool. But you’re a monster, Mason. You became a monster for love, am I not right? Since you blamed Lake for killing your girlfriend, you craved vengeance, and you had to turn into this cold–blooded monster.”

“Oh, shut up!” He snapped.

“It’s the truth; you know that. You had to become so bitter all in the name of vengeance. Now you just Want to end the lives of two innocent children who had nothing to do with this.”

“They are your kids!”

“Yes, they are my children, and they’re Luke’s children as well. But that doesn’t mean that you

should kill them. They have nothing to do with this. If you want to hurt anyone, Luke and I are right. here. You can let the little ones go.”

“Haven’t you heard of stories where people have to face the consequences of their father’s actions? It’s been happening since the dawn of time. Generations curse, parents‘ mistakes, so much shit, and now you’re telling me this? Come on, Ariel. You know I’m not going to listen to any of your words.”

“That’s because you’re a monster,” I spat. “Your heart is filled with nothing but darkness, and now you only want to do evil so you can be satisfied.”

“Wow, that’s actually nice, coming from the lady shit he did to her.”

Who wanted to ruin her ex–husband because of the

“But I didn’t follow through with that shit in the end, did I?” I defended. “It’s because I’m not a monster like you. Even when I wanted revenge, my heart had to stop me. Yes, Mason, my heart had to stop doing anything stupid. I won’t be able to live with myself if I decide to ruin Luke for good.”

“Go to hell, bitch!” Mason barked on the phone.

“You tell me something, Mason. Would your lover want this right now? Would Sofie want to see this evil side of you–extremely heartless, not caring about other people? Would she want you to take the lives of two innocent children? Do you think she’ll be happy with you wherever she is right now?”

“Don’t you dare mention her name? You don’t know her.”

“You’re right, I don’t know her. But I know she can never be this heartless. She wouldn’t want this evil taking place if she were still alive.”

“Shut up, okay?!” Mason snapped.

“It’s the truth, Mason. It’s the truth, and I just want you to change. Put an end to all of this, forget about vengeance, and move on. I believe Sofie will be happy with that.”

“I’ve told you already; don’t you dare mention her name.”

“You need to change, Mason. Please do this for Sophie.”

but

“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Just shut up, Ariel! Stop calling her name like you know her! You’re crazy,

guess

what? You can never be crazy like me. You want to know where your children are, right? They’re in Luke’s company, and they’re probably in hell right now!”

“In hell? What are you talking about?”

“Go see for yourself,” he said before ending the call.

I slowly dropped my phone on the other seat. They were in Luke’s company. Why would Mason carry them to that location? I didn’t know, but I got to head there right now.

I started my car and began to drive. I drove for minutes, still thinking about Lukel and Janice. At the time I gave birth to them, the moment when they just came into the world was a moment of tears of joy, with Andre by my side. I had promised to take good care of them. It was an oath I made that I wouldn’t let anything bad happen to them. So what the hell was happening today? Things had gone

out of hand a long way, a night filled with terror. The rain had stopped for quite a long time now, but this terror was still falling on me, and it was filling my head with billions of negative thoughts.

Lukel and Janice were my everything and my favorite people in the world. The angels have a delightful smile, joyful faces, and a lovely demeanor. Why would I let anyone harm them? If only I was a god.

I stopped my car, arriving at Luke’s company, and I quickly got out. The building was on fire, and I had to gasp in horror. Lukel and Janice were both in that building, and it was burning like hell. Oh fuck, what

am I going to do now? I hope they’re still fine in there.

How could they be fine? The intense heat, the massive fire. Hell no, I needed to do something as soon as possible. I got into the crowd, forcefully moving past them. It was really hard, but I made my way to the front anyway. A mother’s love for her children can never be taken for granted. She would do anything to protect them, even if it meant giving up her own life. And that’s what I was about to do.

As I was about to advance towards the building, someone held my hand, pulling me back. I turned around, and it was Jack.

“Mrs. Reynold? What are you doing?” He queried.

“Let go of me. My children are in there!”

“Your children.” His expression turned into a puzzled one. “Are you trying to tell me that you’re the mother of the two children who happen to be in the building?”

“Yes, now let go of me,” I replied.

“Sorry, Mrs. Reynold, but I’m not going to let you get hurt. Your husband already went inside to save. them.”
