118 VENOMOUS REUNION

ARIEL’S POV

Still at the party, one of the servers approached me with a tray of drinks. He was a handsome young man, but his looks were nothing extraordinary.

“Miss, do you want some?” he asked, offering me a drink.

I smiled and accepted the drink. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” he replied, before walking away. No doubt he would make a great model with his looks and charm.

Looking around, I couldn’t spot Lukel or Janice anywhere. I was wondering why they hadn’t arrived at the party yet. As

Hannah approached, I grabbed her arm and pulled her closer.

“Hey Ariel, what’s up?” she asked with a grin.

“I can’t see Lukel and Janice anywhere. Where are they?” I asked, concerned.

Hannah laughed and reassured me, “Don’t worry, they’ll be here soon.”

“That’s what you said an hour ago,” I replied with a sigh.

“It hasn’t even been twenty minutes, Ariel. Relax,” she spoke, shaking her head.

“I just want to be with my children right now,” I stated, feeling anxious.

“Don’t worry, they’re in good hands with Felix. They’ll be here soon,” Hannah reassured me.

“Can you please call Felix and tell him to hurry up?” I asked, feeling impatient.

Hannah chuckled, “Come on, let’s have some respect. He’s the man of my dreams.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at her statement. “You’re lucky to have found the man of your dreams.”

“But not as lucky as you. You’re married to one of the
