The Love From Vengeance

93 MORNING FEATS

ARIEL’S POV

i woke up the next morning, lying close to Lukel. Our fingers were intertwined. I couldn’t help but admire his ravishing face, his innocent face. And his body seemed to have been better than last night.

I stood up from the bed, and Janice was still sleeping. I couldn’t help but smile at her lovely face. These two always brought joy to me any time I glanced at their ravishing countenances.

I needed to leave them anyway. I still had a mission that needed to be accomplished. And there was no way, I would be taking my children to Luke’s mansion. Hell no. I didn’t even like the fact that they were in New Haven. I wanted them to be far away from here.

As I left the room, I crashed into Andre, and I was about to fall, but he held me. We looked into each other’s eyes for seconds, before he finally took me to a

higher position. And then he let go of me.

“You’re leaving now?” Andre asked.

I exhaled deeply, and replied him in hushed tones, saying, “Yes. Yes I am.”

“Are you seriously going to leave your kids?”

“They’re safe here.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Andre. Please, just watch over them for me. I know you love them as much as I do.”

“I see,” he said lowly, with a slow nod, looking downwards. And then he fixed his eyes on me. “You got married to Luke right after I left New Haven. Why didn’t you inform me about it?”

“Well, it actually didn’t cross my mind.”

“Yeah, I get that,” Andre spoke beneath his breath. “How did the two of you even get back together?”

“It’s….. kind of a long story.”

“Brother!”
