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.”

grinned at me, “But not as lucky as you. You’re married to one of the most famous billionaires in New Haven.”
