The Love From Vengeance

205: CONFRONTATION

ARIEL’S POV

I was finally going back to face my old life. Well, it has only been a year, but still, that was the past. It was now time to continue the chapter that had almost ended a year ago. This time, I was going to end it. But I’d also miss this calm, wonderful, and peaceful location.

As I packed my clothes, memories of my time here flooded my mind. The late–night conversations with Laura, the delicious meals cooked by her husband Bernardo, and the endless laughter we shared. They had become like family to me, and I was eternally grateful for all they had done for me.

After folding my dress, Laura walked into my room with a smile on her face. “Do you need any help, dear?”

I shook my head. “No, thank you. I’ve got it all under control.‘

Bernardo followed behind her. “We just wanted to make sure you’re not forgetting anything important.”

I chuckled. “I think I’ve got everything, but thank you for reminding me.”

They both stood by my side, watching me pack.

Laura cleared her throat, breaking the silence. “Ariel, we wanted to talk to you about something.”

I turned to face them and asked, “What is it?”

Bernardo spoke up: “We’ve been talking and decided to give you a remarkable spot in the business. That’s if you want.‘

My heart skipped a beat. “What? Are you serious?”
