The Love From Vengeance

87 NAUGHTY ACT

ARIEL’S POV

The moment I parked my car, my heart pounded in my chest after sighting Elizabeth standing at the gate of the mansion; the house which belonged to Luke and I.

It was quite strange, or were my eyes lying to me? I didn’t really think so. Elizabeth was standing right there, discussing with Marcus, I think. And I knew I needed to put an end to that conversation as soon as possible, before anything could get out of hand.

I quickly rushed in her direction, and my eyes widened the moment I realized Luke was the one she was talking to. I hoped their discussion had not gotten too

far.

“Ariel!” Elizabeth exclaimed, hugging me tightly. I glanced at Luke, and he was just staring at the both of us. Kind of curious, I’d say. But it didn’t really matter- obviously what was going on in his mind.

“Oh sweetheart, I miss you so so much.” Her hug became more tight.

“Yeah, I miss you too,” I told her, and she broke the embrace. “So, how did you find me?”

“It was quite easy. Who doesn’t know Luke Reynold?” Elizabeth’s smile widened.

I glanced at Luke, who had his eyebrows raised. “Wow, and I here I was thinking this place was kind of…. hidden.”

Elizabeth burst out laughing. “Oh come on now. You thought wrong. But I’m disappointed in myself, for not recognizing you.”

“Yeah, it’s good. I think I should be going now,” Luke told her, turning around.

“Sure, no problem.” Elizabeth smiled at him, and then he walked away.

I held Elizabeth’s hand, and walked to my car, dragging her along.

“What are you doing here?” I aksed her in a whisper.

“What do you mean by that? I came to see you,” she answered.

“I know, but that’s not a good idea.”

“Why not?” Elizabeth heaved an eyebrow.

“Well, it’s kind of a long story,” I replied, crossing my arms. “So, can I please know why you’ve come here?”
