The Love From Vengeance (Ariel and Luke) novel Chapter 249

249: ARRIVAL 

ARIEL’S POV 

Luke and finally arrived at his mansion; Janice had already fallen asleep. And looking through the window, I noticed that this was a new location. Wasn’t the house I used to live in before all that shit happened? 

I got out of the car and looked at the building. It was majestic and ravishing. Nestled at the end of a winding, tree–lined driveway, the opulent mansion stood as a beacon of grandeur and luxury. Towering golden gates with intricately. Wrought, ornate designs that sparkled in the sunlight protected the entrance and provided a glimpse of the extravagance that lay beyond. 

The mansion itself was a masterpiece of architecture, with a facade crafted from rare marble imported from distant lands. The towering columns that framed the entrance soared majestically toward the sky, exuding an air of regality and grandiosity. 

Luke stepped out of the car, carrying Janice in his arms. He walked to the door but paused and turned around to look at me. “Aren’t you going to come along?” 

“Oh yeah,” I answered and walked towards him. 

We walked inside the mansion, and the interior was just as breathtaking as the exterior–not a new thing, but it was great, with a design like the previous one. The grand foyer was adorned with priceless paintings and sculptures, and the marble floors gleamed under the crystal chandeliers. 

But the sight of two young children running around and yelling in the living room quickly caught my attention. Luke gently placed Janice on the couch and turned to the boys, his expression stern. 

“Hey, hey, hey,” he said firmly. “Calm down, boys. We have a guest.” 

The both of them immediately stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide as they looked at me. I couldn’t help but smile at their innocent faces. 

“Hi there,” I said, crouching down to their level. “I’m Ariel.” 

The boys looked at each other and then back at me, their curiosity evident in their expressions. 

“Is she our new mommy?” One of them asked, tugging at my shirt. 

I glanced at Luke. “Are they your sons?” 

“Yes, we are.” 

He laughed and looked back in su “You beliew

Taske chuckled and set his eyes back on the twis kids “Her name is Ariel, and stee 

“He surveyed me before he finally added, “Friend,” 

“An what about that girl with you?” 

“She’s Ariel’s daughter.” 

“Are they going to be living with us?? 

“I don’t think so,” Luke answered. They’re just going to spend the night with us.” 

“That’s cool!” 

“Yes. Now come on, boys,” Luke said, picking up Janice. “Let’s let Ariel settle in.” 

He carried Janice up to her room, and I followed behind them. The room was just as luxurious as the rest of the mansion, with a king–sized bed and a balcony that overlooked the sprawling gardens, 

“Make yourself at home,” Luke said with a smile, placing Janice on the bed. 

“Thank you, Luke. But you do know I’m not going to be living here.” 

“Why won’t you?” 

“Don’t ask me that.” 

“Of course, I’m going to ask you. That’s clearly what Janice wants; she wants a family, Ariel. The three of us together.” 

“Not happening. And even if it is, it’s definitely not now.” 

“Then when?” 

“Probably when all of this is over.” 

“When all of this is over? What do you mean by that?” 

“You won’t understand, so don’t bombard me with questions.” 

“You’re on a mission?” He queried, and I turned to him. “Like you did when we got married for the second time?” 

“Can we just quit this discussion, Luke? You do not want to wake Janice.” 

“She’s not going to wake up; you don’t have to worry about that. And even if she does, I’ll just put her back to sleep.” 

“Great, ‘cause you got some magic or something.” 

Lake gave me a face like I was nuts. “No! It’s ipite easy. Izan jout ad bestime

“Your voice is terrible; it’s only going to kill her ears” 

He laughed “Nice one. So, will you tell me why you keep refusing to come live in this house?” 

“I don’t owe you any explanation.”
