The Love From Vengeance

29 PAINS AND SHOCK

ARIEL’S POV

“What are these children doing in my house?” Mason snarled, stepping closer to me.

“This is my house.” I raised an eyebrow. “Last time I checked, Andre and I were the ones living here before you came along.”

“But he is my brother, and you’re just a stranger!” Mason focused his gaze on the little children, giving all of them a death stare. “Now all of you should get the hell out of here!”

“What did you just say?” I threw him an unfriendly look.

“Don’t pretend like you didn’t hear me.”

“Oh, I did.” I crossed my arms. “But I just wanted you to repeat that nonsense.”

“What are you going to do? Beat me up.” He mocked. “Come on, Ariel, you know I have the upper hand. You don’t want to mess with me.” He curled his lips into a sardonic smile.

I fell silent, glaring at him. I knew exactly what he meant. He kept threatening me with my children. I felt an urge to choke him to death right now. To strangle him, stab him with a knife, or blow his brains out. There were so many ways to end his miserable life, but he was lucky that I wasn’t as heartless as he was.

“Look, why do you have to be so cruel? I already agreed to your plan, right? Why are you being so mean to these children? They have no parents, nowhere to call home.”
