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.

“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.

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.

Luke gave his aunt was not a good one, but she was just smiling and dropping the plates on the table,
