The Love From Vengeance (Ariel and Luke) novel Chapter 90

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.

“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.”
