The Love From Vengeance

LUKE’S POV

I couldn’t help but wonder why that lady would make her way to the airport. Was she planning to leave the country or what? What the hell was she thinking? My grandfather would definitely not want this,

My phone started ringing, and I took a look at it. Oh sh*t, it was my grandfather. I looked at Harriet, and she didn’t utter a single word; she was waiting to see what I would do.

I answered the phone call, and my grandfather barked, “You good for nothing, fool! You’re planning to divorce Ariel? Are you kidding me?”

His voice was just too loud for everyone sitting around us to hear him. I got up right away and began to walk away, with the phone still pressed to my ear, but Harriet held my hands tight. I turned around and looked at her; she didn’t want me to leave her presence, but I pulled my hands away from hers and went to a quiet spot to continue the call.

“Idiot! Are you still there?” My grandfather wanted to know if our call was still ongoing.

“Yes, grandpa,” I answered quietly,

“Can you please explain to me what the hell is going on?!”

“It’s nothing to worry about, grandpa. Ariel is just throwing a tantrum; ignore her; she’ll calm down in a few days.” I tried to calm my grandfather down.

“Then why is she at the airport? Did you drive her away so that you could marry that woman? I told you, as long as I’m alive, there is no way, no goddamn way, that I’m going to let Harriet get married into the Reynold family! Never!”

“Is she really planning to’go to the airport?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

“Fool! She’s already at the airport!” My grandfather snapped. “Now you better make things

right, or else you’ll regret it!” He ended the phone call.

I let out a deep sigh after that. Having knowledge of Ariel being at the airport really left me uneasy, honestly. And I didn’t like this feeling one bit. But if she was at the airport, then I shouldn’t still be here anymore.
