231: BOOK PROBLEMS

ARIEL’S POV

Laura and I stood still as her question hung in the air. After moments of silence, I decided to vocalize the whole thing to her, from the text message I received at the party, to where we had gone, to the scene at the hospital, to the restaurant; it had actually been an exhausting night.

“No wonder I didn’t see you at the party. I was searching everywhere for you, and I thought maybe you had gone home. But when I arrived here, I didn’t see you,” Laura brought out to me.

“Well, that’s just it. That’s what happened. And I’m really thankful for what Luke and Andre did.”

“You’re thankful for Luke?” Laura gave me a disapproving look. “Are you being for real right now? He killed your son?”

“No, he didn’t.”

“Don’t tell me that man has brainwashed you or something.”

“Honestly, he didn’t. He told me everything.”

“So if he didn’t kill Lukel, who did?”

“Mason,” I answered incontinently. “Luke told me that Mason confessed the whole thing.”

“And you just believed him?”

“Janice told me as well. She said Mason brought everything.”

“So what are you going to do now? Go back to Luke?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know, but he’s not the one who killed my son. He even risked his life to save Janice from Mason. You can’t be mad at him for that.”

Before Laura could respond, Janice came skipping towards us with the maids following behind her, carrying trays of chocolates and other treats.

“Look, Mommy! The maids set up a special table for us!” Janice ran to me as her eyes sparkled with excitement.
