The Love From Vengeance

160 FELT SO REAL

LUKE’S POV

Getting the information that someone came looking for me, I stepped out of the office, making my way out of the building, and then I saw Tiffany standing in front of me. She looked beautiful, dishy, and stunning as always, but my expression was far from happy. She had come here now to ruin my peace, cause I was definitely not in the mood to talk to her right now. She was obsessed with me, but too bad the feeling was not mutual. I made the mistake in the first place, having sex with her when we just met. Now I had to keep my cool with women I crossed path with.

I was still looking at Tiffany who was rocking a white mini dress, with makeup applied to her face. She looked stunningly beautiful, but I chose to ignore her physical appearance and instead focused on what she had to say. Yes I was eagerly waiting to hear what she had to say, knowing that it would be really captivating. Of course it would be really captivating. Her beauty was captivating, not for me though. We should get down to business so we can put an end to this conversation.

“Luke Reynold, aren’t you doing just fine?” Tiffany grinned at me, both of her arms crossed.

I laughed a little. “Okay Tiff, can you please get straight to the point? I know why you’ve come here, okay?”

“I know you do. So come on, let’s get going, shall we?”

I gave her a puzzled face. “And where are we going exactly?”

“To the my parents‘ house. I’ve already told them about you, expecting a baby.”

and that we’re

“You did what now?”

“Yes, I told them this morning. And they want to see you.”

I gave her a skeptical look. “Are you being for real right now?”

She laughed. “Oh you think I’m joking? Why would I be joking in a situation like this?”

“Joke all you want or not. I’m not doing any shit you tell me. You can be on your way home now. I have business to take care of.”

I walked back inside the building, not caring about her reaction. She could even go get an abortion if she wanted. I couldn’t be so heartless anyway. I’d get back to

her maybe later in the day.

ARIEL’S POV

I nervously tapped my foot as I waited for Mason to arrive at the coffee shop. I knew this meeting was going to be intense, and I was already regretting agreeing to it. But ! had no choice. Mason had threatened to harm my children if I didn’t go through with our plan..

Just as I was about to give up and leave, Mason walked in with a stern look on his face. I plastered on a fake smile and gestured for him to sit down.

Mason sat down and leaned in close. “We need to discuss our plan. It’s been going well, right?” he asked, his tone serious. And that glare right there, could kill somebody.

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. “Well, I…I’ve been working on it. But I think it’s going to take some more time. Luke is not an easy target,” I stammered, trying to come up with an excuse.

Mason’s expression turned dark. “We don’t have time, Ariel. Remember, we have a deadline, which is the next two days. I need you to be fast about it,” he said, his voice low and threatening.

I swallowed hard. I knew I had to tell him the truth, but I was afraid of his reaction. “Mason, listen. I’ve been thinking…maybe we should just forget about the plan. I don’t want to hurt Luke. I…I think I’ve fallen in love with him,” I blurted out, my voice trembling.

Mason’s eyes widened in shock. “What? Are you kidding me, Ariel? This is not a game. We need t. You can’t just back out at the last minute!” he exclaimed, his voice rising.

Tears welled up in my eyes. “I’m sorry, Mason. But I can’t do this. I won’t hurt Luke,” I said, my voice firm.

Mason’s expression turned cold. “You think you have a choice? You know what I’m capable of, Ariel. I’ll kill your children if you don’t get this done,” he threatened, his eyes glinting with malice.

I felt a lump form in my throat. I knew I had to do something to protect my children. “Okay, I’ll do it. But I need more time,” I pleaded, my voice shaking.

Mason leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smirk on his face. “Good. I knew you’d come to your senses. But remember, time is running out. Don’t disappoint me, Ariel,” he said, before getting up and leaving the coffee shop.

I sat there for a few minutes, feeling defeated and trapped. I knew I had to go. through with the plan, but I couldn’t bear the thought of hurting Luke. As I

walked out of the coffee shop, I made a silent promise to myself. I would find a way to get out of this mess, and I would protect my children no matter what. Lost in thoughts, I slowly walked into, and then I had to scream the moment a car

come running into my direction.

“Mrs. Reynold. Mrs. Reynold,” Tina tapped me, snapping me out of my imagination.

I looked around. “It was all a dream?” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Uhmm, I have no idea what you were dreaming about. But you were all sweaty and shaky, and it had me worried,” Tina said to me.

I took a deep breath and sat up straight. “It wasn’t real,” I replied, trying to calm myself down.

Tina gave me a concerned look. “Are you sure you’re okay? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

I chuckled, trying to brush off the lingering fear. “I’m fine, just a bad shit.. Can you hand me a glass of water, please?”

“Sure, no problem,” Tina spoke, getting up from her chair and walking towards the kitchen.

As she handed me the glass of water, I couldn’t help but replay the imagination in my head. It felt so real, like I was living in a different reality. I took a sip of water and tried to shake off the unsettling feeling.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Tina asked, taking a seat next to me.

I hesitated for a moment, not wanting to spill anything. But I knew Tina wouldn’t stop pestering me until I told her. I wasn’t going to talk anyway.”

“So, Miss Reynold, aren’t going to tell me about this dream of yours?

I shook my head, letting out a sigh.“Nothing actually. It’s not important.”

“And yet it had you shaking uncontrollably.”

I threw her a skeptical look.” I’m not quite sure about that.”

“Oh really?‘ Her tone was teasing.

“Yes Tina. You can get back to work now,” I told her harshly. “I don’t even know why I’m taking a nap this morning. I should go see how the company’s coming along since Andre came back.”

“Andre? Who’s that?” Tina asked.

I looked at her for a moment. “Tina, you don’t have to stick your nose in
