Memories of the past flooded my mind as I stared at the building. I couldn’t help but think about the times when I used to visit Luke here. But he had ignored me back then, causing me immense pain.

I shook his hand, returning his smile. “Just so you know, the name’s Ariel Clinton.”

“Ariel Clinton?” Jack raised an eyebrow, clearly taken aback by my words.
