The Love From Vengeance

36 ON MY BED

ARIEL’S POV

“Why are you here? It would be best for you to return to where you came from.” I attempted to shut the door on Laike, but he easily overpowered me. My strength was no match for his.

“Why the sudden pursuit now?” He chuckled. “I only came to pay my wife a visit.” His tone dripped with mockery.

“Let’s not jump to conclusions, sir. 1 am not your wife,” 1 retorted quickly. “Please refrain from addressing me like that.”

“Why not? We’ll be married soon.” Luke’s smirk widened. “It’s time to start preparing yourself, don’t you think? Tomorrow will be a monumental day for you. Apparently, one of the best in your life.”

“And who in the world said we’ll be getting married tomorrow?” I blurted out, taken aback by his sudden announcement.

He let out a mocking sigh and clasped his hands together. “My grandfather is insistent on having the wedding as soon as possible.”

I raised an eyebrow in disbelief. “But still, tomorrow? Are you out of your mind?”

Luke chuckled softly. “I don’t see anything wrong with that.” He shifted his face closer. “And besides, I’m pretty sure you hunger for this.”

I met his gaze, feeling his warm breath on my face. “And who gave you that impression?” I whispered, slowly getting lost in his eyes.

He grinned mischievously. “No one, but it’s written all over your face.” He brushed a stray hair from my face, causing my heart to flutter.

My body wanted to dance to this, and my heart wanted to pound like never before. I was about to be lost in this moment, with an imagination of total bliss. But then I snapped out of it.

“Don’t touch me!” I pulled away, snapping out of my daydream.

Luke couldn’t hold back a laugh. “Why would I want to? You’re not worth it.”

I rolled my eyes, annoyed by his words. “Then what were you doing?”

“I was just shooing away a pesky fly from your grimy hair.” He shook an insect off his hand and it landed on the ground. “Seems like they’re drawn to you.”

My eyes narrowed down to the little fly on the ground. How in the world did that thing get in my hair?

“Come on now, Ariel. Don’t be surprised that fly pop out of your hair.” Luke gave me a sardonic smile. “You know it’s quite clear that you’re an absolute mess. Ju nothing life.”

“Seriously Luke? Did you come here just to lay insults at me?”

“You wouldn’t let me come in. So what were you expecting?”

“Ariel, isn’t the food ready yet?”

Michael yelled from inside the house.

“Hold on, I’m speaking to someone right here!” I replied loudly.

Luke looked into the house. “Yeah, she’s talking with her hu…”

I cut him off, covering his mouth with my hand. “What did hell is wrong with you?” I asked in a whisper.

He pushed my hand off his mouth. “What kind of silly question is that? I was just trying to introduce myself.”

“Not now.”

“When then?” Luke smirked.

I stared at him for a moment. “I don’t know, but not now.”

He breathed out deeply. “Okay then, I’ll see you tomorrow. You can start inviting all your friends. They can’t miss this special event.”

Luke was really distressing. But it should be the other way round, because I was one who was planning to take revenge. Going to live in moments that would pleasing and unpalatable- because some scumbag was threatening to kill my children.

I rolled my eyes. “You can get going now, okay?”

“Don’t rush me” he said, with a smirk.

Luke turned around, and treaded away. I watched him as he burst into his car and drove off. My feelings toward him was unbalanced.

Sometimes there was hate, and other times, I just felt different. But trust me, the hate was way bigger, ten times stronger than the other feeling. I was definitely not going to use the word ‘ love‘.

LUKE’S POV

When I arrived home, I went straight to my room. I needed to take a nice, cool, refreshing shower. The day was stressful, all thanks to Ariel. Why in the world did I even pay her a visit?

As I opened the door, I was shocked to see Harriet, lying on my bed. She was wearing a lingerie, red in color, which had to boost her attractiveness.

“You?” I glared at her, recalling this things I had heard, and the video seen as well. “Luke,” she uttered in a seductive tone, gently brushing her lap with her finger.

“What are you doing here? And who let you in?” Curiosity had taken over me.

“You shouldn’t be asking that, baby,” she continued with her soft voice, slowly getting off the bed.

“Do not call me that. I already ended things with you,” I reminded her.

“You did, but I haven’t.” Harriet grinned, stirring nigher to me. When she got really close, she wrapped her arm around my neck, and fixed her other hand on my chest.

My glare only intensified, along with my confusion. “Don’t start acting crazy now, You better stop this nonsense and leave.”

Harriet.

“I know you like this.” Her smile widened. “If you didn’t, you would pushed me away

immediately.”

She pressed on with her slow movements, and wanted to touch my face. But I stopped her. I seized her hand. And while she just gave me the salted expression, I threw her a vicious look.

ARIEL’S POV

I was finally done preparing the food, so I served it on different plates, right on a tray, and I made my way to the dinning table. I arrived the plates of food there.

“Finally!” Michael quickly rushed to the table, finding himself a seat.

“Looks delicious,” he said, licking his lips, and rubbing his palms together. I couldn’t help but laugh.

I was about to call Andre, but he had to lessen the stress the moment he walked downstairs. Mason was still busy with his phone. He didn’t seem hungry to me.

I was expecting Andre to walk to the dinning table, but he headed straight to the door. He paused, just as he was about to open it, and then he turned around.

“I thought you wanted to eat,” I said to Andre gently. Mason glanced at me, and set his back on his phone.

“Yeah, I’d love to do that right now. But one of my friends had an accident, so I need to go see him at the hospital,” Andre told me.

“Wow, you came here recently, and you’ve started making so many friends. Good for you,” I talked in a playful tone.

Andre couldn’t hold a soft laugh. “Now is not the time for jokes, Ariel. I’ll see you guys later.”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Wait, I’m coming with you,” I spoke. He was about to open the door, but hearing my words, he slowly turned around.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Andre spoke his mind..

“Why not?” I queried.

“I might take long there, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep up with it.”

I laughed, shaking my head. “Don’t worry about that. I’ll be by your side every single minute.”

Andre gazed at me for seconds. “Okay then, let’s go.”

I smiled instantly, walking to him. He opened the door, and left. I was about to do the same, until Mason coughed. I looked at him.

“We have some things to talk about. I don’t think it’ll be right for you to leave.” Mason smirked.
