The Love From Vengeance

325: DARK CONFRONTATIONS

ANDRE’S POV

It had gotten dark, and everyone had left the company, going to their various homes. Ariel was the last one to leave, and before she did that, we had a little conversation- just a normal conversation, actually.

I was exhausted from work, and my thoughts added to my stress. I had no idea how this all started, but my head couldn’t shake the thoughts away.

Walking to my car, I spotted a light of another car coming in my direction. The light was pointed at me, giving me the feeling that whoever was in that vehicle came to see me. So I stood, waiting for the car to stop and for the driver to leave.

When the car finally stopped, I didn’t take my eyes off it. The lights were turned off, and I stood still, letting the scene unfold. To my surprise, a familiar face stepped out. And this was not just any familiar face. It was my brother Mason. He was the one

who burst out of the car.

He wore a leather jacket and grey jeans. His face had several scars, and he was definitely not as handsome as he used to be.

“Mason? Is that you?” I asked cautiously. It could be that my thinking had brought me

to this imaginary world.

“What are you seeing, brother?” He replied, opening his arms wide.

He took some steps forward, but it was like he had been injured in the leg. Of course he was. His encounter with Luke was definitely the cause of it. I was quite sure about

that.

“Where have you been all these days?” I quizzed him. His steps were getting closer

Just trying to build myself.” He shrugged, making that not–caring face. “You know, after what your friend’s lover did to me.

But you deserved it, don’t you?”

“Ha!” He snapped his fingers. “You know about everything now. I noticed that.”

“Do you have to be so cruel?”

“Cruel? Is that what you call me now?”

“Yes. Mason! You murdered a five–year–old kid who literally had no idea about
