The Love From Vengeance

61: I OBJECT

LUKE’S POV

All eyes turned towards Harriet as she stood at the entrance, wearing a disapproving expression. Ariel and I exchanged glances, both equally surprised and curious about her unexpected presence. I didn’t know if Ariel was surprised, but I was.

I couldn’t hide my disapproving glare, wondering why Harriet had chosen this particular moment to make an appearance. And of course, I knew why she had come here. But trust me, wasn’t going to let her create a scene.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly felt tense as Harriet remained silent, offering no explanation for her unexpected arrival. Her presence was like a dark cloud casting a shadow over the joyous occasion. It seemed as though everyone held their breath, waiting for an explanation that never came.

I couldn’t help but think back to the past, recalling the conflicts and misunderstandings that had strained our relationship. Harriet had always been a source of disruption, seemingly finding pleasure in creating chaos wherever she went.

And not just that, her disgusting actions had caused deep wounds and bitter resentments, leading to the fractured bond between us. She did the unthinkable, breaking my trust. The dreams of spending a life with her had already faded.

I continued to observe Harriet, noticing a flicker of vulnerability in her eyes. It was a brief moment of transparency that revealed a glimpse of the pain she carried within. But I didn’t care one bit.

I let go of Ariel’s hands and walked away from the altar. Harriet slowly moved in my direction with a sad countenance, and her eyes filled up with tears.

“Luke,” she called my name. Her voice was broken. It seemed like she had been crying her heart out all this time.

“What are you doing here?” I asked her, trying my best to be low. We had gotten close to each other, and all eyes were fixed on the both of us.

“So you were serious when you said you wanted to marry this woman?” Harriet spoke loudly; her eyes were still filled with tears. And it seemed like this lady could explode any minute.

“Give me an answer to my question, will you? What are you doing here?” I quizzed her again.

Harriet’s eyes went straight to Ariel, and the glare was terrifically frightening. Seriously, this was the most horrific expression I had seen on her face since I knew her. She looked like she could kill someone or something.
