49: VENGEANCE

LUKE’S POV

1/5

Okay, so I had gone a little far in this saunter of mine, and I couldn’t stop thinking about the argument I had with Ariel. She was really annoying, to the point that I was about to unleash the beast inside of me.

Growing up and living my life all these years, I don’t think I’ve touched a woman. In fact, I even hated it when men did that to ladies, to their wives. I find it so absurd. But moments ago, there was almost a change of thoughts. Ariel’s annoying words almost caused me to transfigure into a monster, and I was seriously avoiding that. I’m glad that I wasn’t taken away by anger.

Now, a promise had already been made to my grandfather, and I would be spending the rest of my goddamn life with that woman. I pray I don’t beat the living soul out of her; it’s something I never wanted. So, if she wanted me to fulfill my grandfather’s wishes completely, she better compose

herself.

I was still treading in the forest, hearing different sounds of creatures that were scary enough to make someone jump off their butts continuously.

I had to cease this walk the moment I saw dead bodies on the ground, and some were being devoured by worms. It was really disgusting and frightful for some people, I guess, but not me.

I couldn’t take my eyes off these lifeless bodies, and I kind of felt sorry for these people. It was obvious that they were murdered. And anyone else, except for me, who was moving in this forest, might have the same fate.

Now that I have come to think of it, Ariel’s still in the forest, and if care’s not taken, she might be killed as well. We all know that a lady’s terror is worse than that of a chicken. And even though I hated her, I wasn’t going to let anything terrific happen to her. She was not going to be a dead piece of crap.

Hell no.

After all these thoughts, I turned around, making my way to where I had left Ariel, along with that baldheaded man. What was his name again? Oh yeah, Foster.

ARIEL’S POV

“Ariel Clinton, one of the owners of The Vitality Group. It’s such a nice thing to see you,” Blake said, walking closer in my direction. Oh yeah, Foster was behind me.

There were three men who stood behind Blake, looking sort of huge, with shades on their eyes, and each of them was holding guns, which had me really terrified.
