The Love From Vengeance

66: TAKE IT IN

ARIEL’S POV

It was another beautiful morning, a wonderful Saturday, and a good time to get some rest. I had not seen Luke since he took me away from that restaurant yesterday. He didn’t spend the night at his house; probably steamed up or something.

As I made my way to the kitchen, I saw Mariam cooking. It looked like she was preparing breakfast. But that was kind of strange. Of all the maids in this mansion, this woman was the one who decided to cook. A grumpy witch, for that matter.

kept on staring at her as she hummed, pressing on with her cooking. She didn’t even realize I was here.

As the minutes passed by, I stood still, and then Mariam’s eyes finally caught me.

“You?” was what she vocalized that very moment.

“Yes, it’s me,” I responded. “What are you doing?”

“What does it look like I’m doing, you idiot? I’m cooking!” She snapped, grabbing a knife, and was ready to cut down some of her ingredients.

“And since when did you start cooking?”

She glared at me. “You’re just a stranger here. Plus, you know nothing about me. So it’s best you mind your own business.”

“Hmm, okay,” I answered calmly, moving backwards. “Happy cooking. I can’t wait to get a taste of your food.”

Mariam chuckled after I said those things, and then I left her.

A few hours later, I walked downstairs only to see Luke seated at the dining table. Riley sat close to him. He was in a normal shirt and not putting on one of those suits.

Luke’s eyes met mine, and we stared at each other till Mariam came, holding a tray of plates.

“Okay, here comes breakfast,” Mariam said, dropping the tray on the table. The food smelled nice; I won’t lie about that.
