The Love From Vengeance

62: SURGE OF RAGE

ARIEL’S POV

Harriet’s furious gaze fixed on me as she raised her gun, intensifying my fear to the point of overflowing. It was clear to me that this woman had completely lost her mind.

Witnessing her cold–blooded murder of a pries

just moments ago, I couldn’t help but believe that I might be her next target. The situation had spiraled into complete absurdity, with the barrel of the gun now directed squarely at me.

My mind raced, desperately searching for a way out of this nightmare. Harriet’s eyes, once filled with life, now reflected a twisted sense of anger and madness.

This was so crazy; it was supposed to be a gleeful day, right? But things turned out the opposite way. This was something no one would sign up for. And damn, what was going to happen after this? Was I going to walk out of this hall alive?

As Harriet’s finger tightened around the trigger, my heart pounded in my chest, echoing the sheer terror that consumed me. I pleaded silently for a miracle, desperately hoping that someone or something would intervene and save me from this impending doom.

Harriet’s eyes bore into mine, devoid of any trace of humanity. It was as if she had become a vessel for pure malevolence, a force of destruction that sought to eradicate everything in its path.

A wave of thoughts crashed over me, with memories and regrets flooding my mind. I thought of my little ones, Janice and Lukel, wondering if I would ever see them again.

“Harriet, you don’t have to do this. You do not have to kill anyone,” I said, trying to see if I could give this woman some senses. “What will you gain if you kill me? Will it give you the happiness you want?”

“Yes, it will!” Harriet snapped. “If you die now, I will have Luke all for myself.”

“And how are you so sure about that?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.
