The Love From Vengeance

174 REVEALED

ARIEL’S POV

Walking inside the house, and man, I’m still like what the hell just happened? My reaction

with Luke moments ago, it was just kind of crazy. But I got to do what was needed to be

done. Making Luke drunk now was the thing that I was about to follow through with, if I

wanted him to sign those documents.

I walked to the kitchen where some maids were preparing dinner. The food was ready, and

now it needed to be served.

“You all can leave now. I’ll take it from here,” I told the maids, and they nodded before

leaving the kitchen.

I arranged the dish right on the plate, straight on the tray. Then I poured some orange

juice in a glass. After that, I added a drug inside that would cause Luke to be intoxicated

the moment he drinks it. Everything was prepared, but I knew he was definitely not going

to take it from me if I was the one who served it. So, how was i going to deliver this?

Just when I was thinking about that, Randy stepped foot inside the kitchen, looking around

till his eyes met mine.

“What?” He asked, looking confused while I was just smirking at him.

LUKE’S POV

I sat down, still thinking about what Ariel told me moments ago. It was just shocking, and

kind of painful. But that’s what I get, now I knew the pain I had given her during our first

marriage. But why did she have to get upset all of a sudden? I thought we were doing

good together.

Randy approached me, holding a tray of food, on it was also a glass of orange juice. He

dropped the tray on the table the moment he got close to me.

“Here is your dinner,” he told me, rubbing his palms together.

“Thanks but I’m not hungry.” I turned my face away. Indeed, I had really lost appetite.

Ariel’s words hit me hard, and I have to say, it hurt like hell.

“No, you have to eat. It’s getting late, you don’t want to sleep with an empty stomach,”

Randy suggested.

I sighed. “I appreciate the fact that you’re concerned here. But I’m not in the mood to

eat.”

“Why not? What’s the problem?” Randy asked and sat next to me.

I laughed a little. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Okay then. But you got to eat, it’s necessary,” he kept on insisting. I couldn’t help but

laugh.

“Fine, I’ll eat the food,” I told Randy. He snapped his fingers and ran away immediately. I

laughed

again.

I set my eyes on the food, looking quite delicious. Always delicious when you had great

cooks around here, awesome chefs. I glanced at the glass of orange juice, and as I was

about to get a hold of it, Ariel showed up.

“Wait,” was what she told me. I shot her a dark look immediately, and turned my face

away, ready to ignore whatever shit she had to tell me. I held the glass of orange juice

and was about to get some in my mouth, but she stopped me.

“Luke, don’t drink that,” Ariel told me, budging closer.

“Why not?” I asked her in a cold tone.

“Because…..I might have put something inside,” she answered, scratching the back of her

head.

“Oh so you want to kill me now, huh?

“If I wanted to kill you, would I bother to stop you from drinking that juice?”

I looked at her for a moment. “Okay, what the hell is going on?”

“I can’t do this Luke. I can’t.” She settled down next to me.

“You can’t do what?” I quizzed her, getting really confused right now. “Can you please tell

me what in the world is..”

“I’ll tell you alright!” You don’t have to keep on repeating that,” she interrupted my

speech.

“Yeah, you better start talking, and what the hell did you put in that drink?”

“I wanted to drug you,” she revealed.

“You wanted to what?”

“Don’t act like you didn’t hear me,” Ariel vocalized.

“I did, and it’s really confusing,” I told her.

“Should it even be confusing? After all, you do deserve anything terrible from me,” she

retorted.

“I hope you aren’t joking.”

Ariel sighed, rolling her eyes. “Sometimes, I wonder if you even got brain.”

“You’ve become really rude.”

“Yeah shut up and let me talk,” she said. I shook my head, oh the goddamn disrespect.

“Look, I don’t know if you’re going to get angry about this. But it’s just the truth, cause I

don’t know how I’m going to live with me myself if I carry out such action.”

“What action?”

Ariel let out a deep sigh, moving her hand through her hair. “I wanted to take your

wealth.”

I gave her a confused face. “I don’t get it. You wanted to take my wealth, like all of my

money.”

You for

“Yes. That’s the reason I came back to your life. That’s the reason I agreed to get married

to you the second time.”

“Wow, and thought you did that for my grandfather,” I spoke lowly. I was quite stunned

with her

words.

“I’m not going to lie now, I’ll speak nothing but the truth.”

“This isn’t a court room where you have to…”

“I never said it was a court room,” she interrupted me. “Enough with the jokes, okay?”

“Who said I was joking?” I raised an eyebrow.

“Luke, this is supposed to be a remarkable moment. But you’re making it look like a piece

of crap right now.”

“Enough!” I snapped. “I’ve had enough of you and your disrespect! I get it! I’m being quiet

around you. That doesn’t mean I’m a fool, that I’ll be nodding to every crap you say.”

Ariel looked quite hurt with my words, but I could see how she quickly decided to hide that

face. “Let’s just get this conversation done with. I came here for vengeance. For all the

things you did to me. And I wanted to wreck you. I wanted the wealthy and silk–stocking

Luke Reynold, to be nothing but a worthless piece of crap. A man with intense poverty,

who won’t even be worth a dollar.”

I gave her a surprised look, my mouth opened a little.

“I know, it’s kind of heartbreaking. But that was my intention, and I wanted to drug you so

I can get your signature on the papers that will ruin you for good. But I…..I… just can’t.

The hatred was right here with me, but I have no idea how these feelings just came

quickly, but it took over, now I don’t want to see you in such pain.”

ng me.”

“Wow, so all this time, you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to sting

“I know you’re going to get upset. But me refusing to wreck you, is going to put me in a

situation 1 think I won’t be able to handle. And I’ll have to be ready for it. So, sorry if I

caused you pain, or made you catch feelings. I’m going to leave your life for good, I

promise.

I didn’t even know what to say. I was completely speechless. So she was just acting like

she loved me,

so she could strike hard in the end.

“Goodbye,” Ariel said softly and walked away.
