The Love From Vengeance

109 LURE OF THE BAR

ARIEL’S POV

This was definitely a nice moment, folks. The moment these two fabulous ladies would finally get to meet the incredible woman who brought me into this world. The one who blessed me with my stunning looks and charm.

I mean, let’s be real, it’s not easy looking this good, but I definitely owe it all to my mama. I couldn’t wait for them to see where it all came from. It was going to be epic!

Elizabeth and Hannah approached us with big grins on their faces. I couldn’t help but smile at how happy they were. “Hey Ariel, how’s it going?” Elizabeth asked, getting closer to me.

“We heard what happened at the office?” Hannah chimed in.

“Wait, you guys know about that?” I raised an eyebrow in surprise.

“Of course, we’re just glad you’re okay,” Elizabeth said with concern.

“Yeah, I’m glad too,” I replied, taking a seat. I knew it was time to introduce my mom to them. They needed to be friends, and I was going to be the one to make it happen.

“Have you two met my mom?” I asked, gesturing to my mother. Elizabeth’s eyes widened as she turned to look at my mom.

“Your mom?” She said in awe. “Wow, so this is the mother of the beautiful angel standing before us?”

“Yes, I am,” my mom replied with a smile.

“Well, no wonder you’re so beautiful,” Elizabeth said with a grin.

My mom blushed, “Oh, you’re too kind.”

“Seriously, you two are too cute,” I laughed, enjoying the interaction between my two favorite women.

“How come you never told us about your mom?” Elizabeth asked, turning to me.

“It’s a long story,” I said with a shrug.

“Did you guys have a falling out?” She asked, raising an eyebrow.
