The Love From Vengeance

383: DESTINY’S CALL

ARIEL’S POV

“You think you know everything, don’t you?” I barked at Luke, my voice rising with each word. “Well, let me tell you something, Luke Reynold. You don’t know the first thing about me, about my family, or about the sacrifices we’ve made just to survive.

“And what sacrifices are those, huh? Please, put an end to this fake story. I don’t want to even hear another nonsense coming out of your mouth. You and your good–for–nothing family have been golddiggers since the dawn of time. Don’t say anything further.”

“That’s a lie! And it’s so fucked up that you would spit such nonsense! My parents have worked themselves to the bone, just to put food on the table and a roof over our heads. We’ve faced hardships that you couldn’t even begin to imagine, and yet you have the audacity to stand there and judge me based on your own misguided assumptions.”

“I’m not judging you, Ariel,” he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. “I’m just… frustrated.”

The vulnerability in his tone caught me off guard, momentarily disarming me in the midst of our heated exchange. “Frustrated?” I echoed, my anger giving way to confusion. “What do you mean?”

He took a deep breath, shaking his head, and then he gave me dark look. “That’s none of your fucking business. Just get the hell out of my life, Ariel Walker. Leave! I do not need you!”

I suspired with a slow nod, and my tone became calm. “I totally understand you, Luke. But we have to face the facts and embrace what life has thrown at us.” I looked him in the eyes. “And this is our destiny

now.”

Luke continued to glare a me, not taking his eyes off me one bit. “Fine, have it your way. You want to get married, right? Cool, go ahead, become my wife. Ariel Reynold, wife of the famous billionaire; Luke Reynold. That’s what you want, right? Fame an wealth. It’s cool, you can have them, you can have them. all. But trust me, I will make your life a living hell. Every day of your married life will be miserable, and I will make sure a smile never comes in your face again.”

After that, he stormed into his car and drove away.

As Luke’s car disappeared into the distance, leaving behind a cloud of dust and echoes of his harsh words, I stood there, rooted to the spot, feeling the weight of his threat hang heavy in the air.

His venomous words reverberated in my mind, each syllable a dagger aimed at my heart. Yet, despite the pain and anger swirling within me, a sense of resolve began to take root deep within my soul.

I refused to let Luke’s bitterness define me, to dictate the course of my life. Who the hell did he think he was? He was too rude, how in the world was my relationship going to work with that idiot?

It would be best if I just give up. Take the ring off and get the hell out of this place. This could just be God telling me not to get married to that man, because the future might be really dark, full of sorrow, bringing intense tears, heartbreak, melancholy.
