The Love From Vengeance

76: FRIGHTFULLY GRUESOME

ARIEL’S POV

I walked slowly, still looking for Riley. My heart raced as the deafening sound of gunshots reverberated through the mansion. Panic gripped her as I had a conscience of the danger that lurked just below. But I was determined to find Riley, no matter what.

I cautiously stepped through the corridor, my footsteps muffled by the plush carpet beneath my feet. The air was thick with tension, and I was filled with terror. But I needed to gather the courage. I was not going to let anything bad happen to that young girl.

The gunshots grew increasingly louder, their sharp cracks piercing through the air. Accompanied by the desperate screams coming from downstairs, my fear intensified. Each gunshot seemed to echo through my bones, causing my heart to race and my hands to shake uncontrollably.

I couldn’t bear to imagine what was happening below, but I knew I had to stay calm and find Riley so I could get her to safety before it was too late. The chaos and terror surrounding me was suffocating, and I could only pray for a way to escape this nightmare.

I halted for a minute, closing my eyes in fear. The terror emanating from downstairs was overwhelming. My heart raced and my hands shook as I tried to steady myself. But I knew I couldn’t let fear consume me. I needed to be strong in this moment, for myself and for Riley, whenever shr was at the moment. Gathering my courage, I took a deep breath and slowly opened my eyes, ready to face whatever horrors awaited me downstairs.

LUKE’S POV

I was at the office, diligently working my way through a stack of documents, when suddenly my phone began to ring. At first, I tried to ignore it and focus on the task at hand, but the persistent ringing became too distracting.

I reached over and grabbed my phone, glancing at the caller ID. It was an unknown number, and my mind told me it was that guy who kept on requesting for money.I wanted to ignore the call, but it was too distracting.

I was frustrated and annoyed that he wouldn’t give me the time I had asked for. All he seemed to care about was money, and I couldn’t understand why. It made me question if he even had any useful information to offer in the first place. I just wanted some space to think things through, but he wouldn’t listen to me. It was clear that his only motivation was financial gain, and I couldn’t help but get infuriated about this.

I had to answer the call. However, to my surprise, it was a completely different person speaking. I couldn’t help but feel a bit taken aback, wondering who could be calling me and why it wasn’t the person I was expecting. My curiosity and confusion grew as I listened to the voice on the other end, trying to make sense of the unexpected call.
