The Love From Vengeance

90 TOGETHER AGAIN

ARIEL’S POV

“Lisa,” André said, and Lisa turned to him. “Can’t you see Ariel is right here?”

“Yeah, I can see that,” she replied, not glancing at anyone, still fixing her eyes on her phone. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What are you supposed to do then?” Andre queried her, his tone becoming

serious.

She shot him an irritating look. “I don’t understand. What kind of question is that?”

“Lisa!” Manuel snarled. “I think you better behave yourself.”

“Behave myself? I’m just sitting right here, busy with my phone. I didn’t even do anything.”

“Who told you, you didn’t do anything?” Andre harshly questioned her. “I thought I had told you to put an end to this absolute nonsense.”

“Why are you pouring your rage on me, brother?”

“Don’t ask me that, you clearly know the reason why,” Andre mentioned immediately. “Ariel is right here, in our house, and you’re sitting down there, acting like you didn’t see her.”

Lisa set her eyes on me immediately. The expression, the countenance was not a good one. And I couldn’t help but obviate my gaze. Her death stare was one in a kind, but I didn’t come here to cause trouble.

“Why should I? Is she part of the family?” Lisa asked, not taking her

“And where do you think you are going?” Andre queried.

Lisa halted, now standing on the stairs. And her eyes scanned everyone. “I’m going upstairs. Where I can be free from this nonsense.”

“Lisa!” Manuel glared at her, taking some steps forward.

“Just let her be,” Elizabeth said, her eyes still fixed on her daughter. Lisa shot me a glare, before disappearing.

Manuel drove his hands through his hair “Can you believe that lady? Can you see how she just ruin the happy moment?”

“Who said the happy moment is ruined?” Elizabeth smirked at Manuel, raising

an eyebrow.

He let out a deep sigh, fixing his hands on his waist “I don’t know honey. But you really need to talk that young lady. She’s becoming stubborn each single day.”

“You think I haven’t tried that?” Elizabeth crossed her arms.

“Okay, let’s just forget about what happened. Right now, we have an angel with us.” Andre smiled, wrapping his arm around my neck.

I smiled back at him, my cheeks getting red a little from the lovely comment.” Awwn, thanks.”

“Ariel!” Someone screamed my name from behind. I turned around, and there was Hannah, looking pretty in her glasses.

She rushed to me, and hugged me tightly. Now, Hannah was the stepsister of Andre and Mason, the daughter of Manuel only. And even so, Elizabeth treated her with so much love and affection. Shows you how this lady’s truly a blessing.

By the way, Hannah and I were good friends, the relationship being the complete opposite of mine with Lisa.

“I’m so glad to see you,” she said, the both of us till embracing each other.

“I’m so glad to see you too,” I gently uttered, as we slowly broke the embrace.

“Where have you been this whole time? I heard you got married.” She faked a frowny face, situating her hands on her waist.

“Yeah, I did get married,” I slowly vocalized, smiling at her. “Are you upset with that?” I had to play along.

“Pfff, why would I be upset? I’m really happy about that. But I’m angry at you for not sending me an invitation.”

“Sorry.” I laughed. “But trust me, you wouldn’t want to go to that occasion.

“I know, I heard about it. The killing of the priest, and all that. I heard about them all.”

I shook my head in slight laughter. “Yeah, it was really crazy.”

“It’s a good thing you’re still alive,” she raised an eyebrow, grinning at me.

“Yeah, it sure is,” I spoke in hushed tones, nodding my head slowly.

“Okay, I think it’s time you see your little ones.” Elizabeth walked closer to me, holding my shoulder./

“Right. Lukel and Janice, they really miss you,” Manuel spoke, sitting down.

“Why wouldn’t they? She’s an angel after all. A beautiful one,” Andre complimented me, a huge smile on his face.

I couldn’t help but return the gleeful expression.

“Come on, let me take you to their room upstairs,” Elizabeth said, traipsing from me. I quickly treaded on her heels.

I turned around, and noticed how Andre was just smiling at me. I quickly turned my face away, as I kept on walking behind Elizabeth.

Did he really miss me that much that he was smiling like that? I mean, it hadn’t even been up to two months since he left. Was I this special?

Finally, Elizabeth took me to the room, the space lodged by my adorable ones. I slowly opened the door, entering the dark room, and then the lights were turned on by Elizabeth.

And there they were, both lying down in separate beds, covered by the sheets. I couldn’t tell if they were actually sleeping. But since Lukel was not feeling good, it was obvious he was slumbering. Maybe.

“Mommy?” Janice slowly sat on the bed, leisurely opening her eyes. “Is that you? “She asked softly, as I transposed closer to her.

“Yes, it’s me darling. Mommy’s here,” I told her, sitting on my heels.

“Mommy, you’re really here?” She fixed her little hand on my face. I smiled at her, rubbing her fingers.

“Yes, I am,” I replied beneath my breath. “I miss you so much.”

“I miss you too mommy. Why did you leave us?”

I sighed. “Well, mommy just had some things to take care of.”

“You would have taken us along with you.”

I smiled at her. “I like the way you think, Janice. But, I can’t. I was even planning to be together with you guys again once I was done with my mission.”

“And what mission is that?”

I laughed softly. “Do you really have to know everything?”

Janice yawned. “I think I’m feeling sleepy.”

“Yeah, I can see that. It’s really late. You should go to sleep.”

“Are you finally back, mommy?”

I stared at her for a moment. “Well, not really.”

She yawned again.

“Yeah, you better go to sleep.” I kneaded her forehead gently.

“You should go and check on Lukel. He’s not feeling too good, and I feel so bad for him,” Janice told me and yawned for the third time. “I’m going to go to sleep, only when you turn the lights off. But before that, Lukel is right there. He’s going to need you by his side for a while.”

I turned to Elizabeth, and she nodded, before turning off the lights. After that, she left, slowly closing the door.

I moved slowly to Lukel, he was sleeping. And his body was scorching hot. I didn’t like that one bit, and whatever fever this was, it had to go. I couldn’t stand to see him this way.

“Lukel!” I shrieked, worried about him, as I tapped his face multiple times. He slowly moved his body, still asleep. I quickly carried him in my arms, rushing to the door, and bursting out of the room.

Still holding him, I rushed downstairs. “We need to take him to a hospital!”
