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?”
