The Love From Vengeance

175 WHERE ARE THEY?

ARIEL’S POV

The rain began to fall, I quickly made my way to my car, bursting inside. I didn’t know what was going to happen after this, but I knew I needed to brace myself.

1 got a text from Mason, it said, ‘Nice Job. Hope you’re ready.‘ With this, I could tell that he had a knowledge of what just happened at Luke’s house. But who told me? That meant that there must be a goddamn spy there.

I called Mason several times, but he declined all of my calls. I had to drive straight to Andre’s house. Getting out of my car, I hurried to the door, making my way inside the mansion. I saw Lisa using her phone.

She caught a sight of me. “Ariel, what are you doing here, and why did you come like a thief?”

“Where’s Lukel and Janice?” I asked, walking to her.

“Uhmm, I have no idea. But I did see Mason taking them out.”

“Mason took them out?”

“Yes,” Lisa answered, giving me a confused face. “Any problem with that?”

“Did you perhaps know where he was taking them?”

“I literally have no idea,” she answered, shaking her head slowly.

“This doesn’t sound good,” I whispered to myself.

“Why do I feel like you’re not comfortable with Mason taking your children out?”

I sighed, driving my hand through my hair. I left the house right away, got into my car and drove off. The rain continued to fall, the waters dropping down, the rumbles of thunder materializing. And my worry worsened, I panicked, but I needed to stay strong for my children.

I drove to Mason’s house, left my car, and went to knock on his door. No one came out, so I had to ring the doorbell. Still no one came out.

“Where could they be? Where’s could they be?” I panicked, stepping on the ground vigorously. I called Mason again, but he refused to answer. In fact, he declined my calls.

“Shit!” I shrieked and threw my phone to the ground. “Fuck Mason!” I punched the door and it opened that very moment.

“Who the hell is that?” The person who came out vocalized, and to my surprise, it was Harriet. I couldn’t stop staring at her, kind of been a long time since we saw each other. What in the world was she doing here at Mason’s house?

“Ariel? You?” Harriet spoke, looking shocked to see me. Mutual feeling right here.
