The Love From Vengeance

277: TROUBLED

ARIEL’S POV

I brought my phone out of my purse, while Bernardo could just stare at me. The worried expression was all over his face, but what could he do in this situation? Absolutely nothing. I couldn’t belleve he would do this, I couldn’t believe he would cheat on the woman he claimed to love with the whole of his heart. It was such a sad thing, you know. And life was fucked up itself.

“Are you seriously going to do this?” Bernardo questioned me, walking closer to me.

Glaring at him, I wanted to dial Laura’s number. But staring into his eyes–the way he looked so troubled and terrified -I decided not to. I was not like that. But I would now be seeing him in a different way, not the normal Bernardo. He broke my trust, and I could only imagine how his wife would be if she realized what a character he was. It was actually a painful thing to know this. But I wouldn’t be the one revealing his cheating ass. His wife was going to catch him regardless, just like I did today. But he had better change this ugly attitude.

“You know what?” I said it underneath my breath. “Just get her out of here.”

“Are you telling Laura about this?”

“Just get the woman out of here!” I yelled immediately. I couldn’t help it. I was mad as hell. I composed myself anyway. “I’m sorry.” My tone was quite calm, and then I walked away.

LUKE’S POV

I was driving home, still thinking about what happened earlier and how Leonardo died. The scene where he got shot was still revolving around in my head, every moment and every second of that time. It was really sad, I wouldn’t lie. So many people had left this world, and here I was, still breathing fine and living healthy, even though I had faced different situations where I almost left the earth. But I was still here. What a grace this was.

I stopped the car at some point, bringing out my phone, only to see Ariel’s missed calls. Wow, she called me. That was actually nice. But calling her now was not the right thing. I wasn’t in the mood to talk.

But fuck that, I loved this woman. So, I would always be in the mood to talk to her. I started calling her, and it didn’t take long before she answered the phone.

“Hey, Luke. Wassup, how have you been?”
