The Love From Vengeance

69: PAPERS OF DESTRUCTION

ARIEL’S POV

I made my way downstairs after hearing my phone ring. I was surprised to see it with Luke. The worst part of it all was that he had that phone pressed against his ear. He had the nerve to answer my phone call.

“Who’s this, please?” Luke said, making a puzzled face. I just stood there, watching him. ” Janice?” He spoke.

My eyes widened at that very moment. In a flash, I bolted in his direction. I snatched my phone from him the moment we were now close.

It looked like Janice was the one Luke was talking to. But I wasn’t going to let him get into a conversation with any of my babies. Not now. Not ever.

“What the hell was that?” Luke asked. He must probably have millions of thoughts going through his head at the moment.

“That was the voice of a little girl. And she was looking for her mother, I think,” Luke told me. I was silent, surveying him with my phone in my hand.

“Now tell me, Ariel, what’s going on?” Luke queried. His expression was goddamn serious. But it wasn’t going to move me.

There’s no way I’m going to start panicking or something.

“What do you think is going on?” I smiled at him, clutching my phone with a white–knuckled grip.

Luke suspired, driving his hands through his hair. After a moment, he looked at me. “Are you sure you’re not hiding anything from me? Is there something you’re not telling me?”

“You don’t have to worry about anything, okay?”

Lake laughed, shifting his gaze away. He laid his eyes on me once again. “Ariel. Tell me. Who is this, Janice?”

He was very eage: to know. But too bad, he would know nothing.

“Janice?” I stated, holding my chin. “Well, she’s just a little girl I know, in Canada.”

“In Canada,” Luke repeated my last words. His voice was barely above a whisper.

“Yes.” I grinned at him.

“I see. Who was she calling mother then?” He acted like a detective.
