The Love From Vengeance

Chapter 133

133 SEARCHING

LUKE’S POV

Andre and I hurried through the vast, empty warehouse, our footsteps echoing against the cavernous walls. The dim light from a few high windows cast long shadows across the dusty floor, adding to the eerie atmosphere. We had been searching for Ariel, our voices calling out her name but receiving only silence in return. I could feel frustration building within me.

“Andre,” I called out, my voice tinged with defeat. “I don’t think she’s here. Maybe we should call for help. Maybe we’re wasting our time.”

Andre’s voice echoed through the warehouse. “Luke, we can’t give up now. Ariel needs us, and we’re not leaving until we find her.”

I continued searching, pushing boxes aside and peering behind crates, but there was no trace of Ariel. It felt like an endless labyrinth, and hope was slipping through my fingers.

As I approached the center of the warehouse, André joined me. “Luke, I know this is tough, but we can’t lose hope. Ariel is counting on us. We’ve come too far to give up now. We’ll find her, I promise.”

His words stirred something within me. I nodded, steeling myself against the rising doubt. “You’re right, André. Let’s keep looking.”

We ventured further, and then I caught a glimpse of something in the far corner. “Andre, over here!” I called out.

We rushed over and found a little girl sitting on the floor, her expression a mix of relief and exhaustion.

“Hey there, are you okay?” I asked, my voice trembling with concern.

She nodded weakly, her eyes reflecting gratitude. “I’m okay, thanks to you both. I got lost in here and couldn’t find my way out.”

“How exactly?” I asked her, raising an eyebrow.

“Uhmm, Luke, we have a problem,” Andre spoke, and I turned around. It was the fearsome man, and he was walking in our direction.

Shit! This isn’t good,” I said, staring at the man who was glaring at us.
