The Love From Vengeance

50: BLACK OUT

ARIEL’S POV

1/5

Luke stood still, surveying Blake and his men, who had guns. There was no fear in his eyes; he didn’t look terrified one bit. And boy, I begin to wonder if he has actually been in such a state before. Recall that when we were still in that elevator, the man was not scared at all. The blood of his grandfather flows right in his veins.

“Who the hell is this?” Luke asked, giving Blake a disgusting look. He glanced at the three men behind Blake. “And why are these guys with guns?”

“Luke Reynold. We meet again,” Blake said, advancing towards Luke in a slow manner.

“Meet again?” Luke wore a puzzled face. “Have we met before?”

“Oh, we haven’t,” Blake answered, clapping his hands. “But I did go to your company to apply for a job. I was fit for the job and had all the qualities. But what did you people do? You guys rejected me, and when I tried explaining, you people had to call security to kick me out!”

Luke stared at Blake for a moment, still with a confused face. “I’m sorry. Say what now?”

“It was really painful. And from that day on, I swore I’d take revenge. Well, here am I, killing two birds with one stone.” After Blake had said all these things, he set his eyes on me.

“Who did all that to you exactly? Cause it’s definitely not me,” Luke told him.

“Of course it wasn’t you. But you’re the owner of the company. That’s why you’re going to pay.” Blake glared at Luke in response.

“You’re one crazy idiot, aren’t you?” Luke fired him with this. “I haven’t seen a psycho like you before. There are billions of fools in this world, but you are different.”

“I don’t get it. So you actually want to kill Luke and me?” I asked Blake. He was indeed crazy.

Luke glanced at me. “He wants to kill you?” He turned back to Blake. “Don’t tell me you’ve been taking so long. Shoot her already.”

“What?” I gaped at him. “Are you out of your mind?”

“I told you, man, shoot her already!” Luke uttered it in a clamorous tone.
