The Love From Vengeance

228: A LOT TO HANDLE

ARIEL’S POV

“Did you kill Lukel?” I asked Luke.

He let out a deep sigh. “Well, I think I’ve told you this a billion times. I’m not the one who killed your son. You never listened to me, and even when you did, you never believed me.”

I crossed my arms, sniffling and looking away. “Well, I still don’t know if I should believe you.”

“Tell me something, Ariel.”

I looked at him. “What is that?”

“Who is this person that filled your mind with such a lie?

I sighed. “I don’t know her, but I thought… Nevermind. It’s all my fault.”

“So, you now have a change of mind?”

I looked at him immediately. “Something like that.”

“Do you believe me now?” He asked, looking into my eyes.

I averted my gaze. “Look, I’m sorry for being rude to you; I’m just sorry for everything, the

accusations and all that.”

“No, Ariel. I’m the one who should be apologizing. I’ve done a lot of terrible things to you, and I totally understand your point here.”

“We did have some great moments, Luke. And to be honest, I really liked them.”

“We can make more then.”

“Uhmm, excuse me?”

“I love you, Ariel. I’ve really missed you. You have been a great person, honestly. All these years, I didn’t realize that. But now, I finally know who you are. You are the one for me.”

“Okay, Luke. You need to get some rest.” I stood up and started walking to the door.

“You’re leaving now? Seriously, Ariel? You’re just going to end our conversation like that?”

“The doctor made it clear to us that you shouldn’t stress yourself. This discussion might affect you in

some way.
