The Love From Vengeance

224: HERE FOR YOU

LUKE’S POV

And the face was familiar–so familiar that it took me a moment to register who it was. And then it hit me—it was Ariel’s daughter, my daughter, Janice. My heart sank as I saw her in such a vulnerable state–her hands tied, her hair messy, and a look of fear in her eyes. I couldn’t believe that she was in this situation, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt for not being there to protect her the whole time. Seeing her like this broke my heart, and I knew I had to do everything in my power to keep her safe.

Quite horrific! They pushed Janice to the ground with a force that made her land with a loud thud. But my shock quickly turned to anger as I saw her struggle to stand up. Yes, indeed, her legs and hands were tied. The sight of her helplessness fueled a rage within me, as I wanted to break free and confront those responsible for her suffering. It was a feeling of intense anger and frustration, knowing that I couldn’t do anything to help Janice at that moment. But it only made me more determined to find a way to rescue her and put an end to her torment.

As the scumbags mocked Janice and 1, jeering at our vulnerability, my blood ran red with rage. I longed to unleash my fury and show them the consequences of underestimating us. However, I was forced to restrain myself because my hands were tied, and it was just fucked up. It was a frustrating and infuriating feeling to know that these idiots would be getting away with their cruel actions. But I refused to let their taunts and laughter break me. I knew I was going to find a way out of this goddamn place, and I was going to take Janice along with me.

“What are we going to do with them?” I heard one of the people say:

“We won’t do anything yet. We’ll wait for the boss to arrive before proceeding.”

“So we’re just going to leave them like this?”

“Do you want to let them go?”

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

“Just shut up and leave.”

They left the room. The lights were turned on after that.”

I could hear Janice breathing heavily, and I leisurely moved in her direction. The place might be dark, but at least I knew her spot.

“Are you alright?” I asked, getting closer to the little one.

The moment I touched her, she trembled. I felt so sorry for her. I could imagine how she had been living in this misery for one good year, thinking about her family. She wished that she could be reunited with her mother. I’d try my very best to get the both of us out of here. If not me, then her. She was just a little child. She had nothing to do with this. Why did people have to be so heartless?
