The Love From Vengeance (Ariel and Luke) novel Chapter 94

94 AGREED 

LUKE’S POV 

Coming out through the gate, I saw someone standing a little bit far, putting on nothing but black. Black cap, black trousers, black jacket, back jacket, all black. 

“Luke Reynold,” he said, turning around. And with that voice, indeed, it was Lucifer. He also had a mask on, still black. 

“You showed up quite fast. Have you been trying to be like Barry Allen these past few days?” His tone was quite mocking. 

“No silly questions. Let’s just get this done with.” I budged closer to him. 

“You’re right. Now, where’s the money?” 

“It’s going to be sent directly to your bank account.” 

He laughed. “That’s actually a nice thing. So, when are you going to follow through with this?” 

“Later in the day.” 

“Why don’t you just do it now?” 

“Why don’t you just reveal this person to me?” I retorted. 

“Sorry, but I’m no fool. If I give you information, you might just go away like that, not giving me anything.” 

“I’m not like that.” 

He chuckled. “Can’t trust anybody.” 

“I can’t trust you either,” I throw him a comeback. “What if I give you the money, and then you decide to go away like that? How does that sound, huh?” 

Lucifer laughed. “You actually have a point. But come on, you need mine more than I need yours.” 

“Hmm, I’m not so sure about that.” 

He chuckled. “You do remember what happened at your house, right? Your beloved cousin lost her life. You might be next.” 

“Well, I’m not actually scared of death. I don’t see anything captivating in this life anymore.” 

“What about your wife?” 

I laughed. “Seriously? She’s the one you’re bringing up, now?” 

“You know, a lot of people do say they’re scared of death. But when death actually comes for them, they transfigure into a chicken, scared as hell. 

I suspired. “Not me.” 

ARIEL’S POV 

“So, care to tell me how life has been for you all this while?” Andre aksed. The both of us were in his car, as he was driving me home. 

“It’s been normal,” I answered, looking through the window. “I guess,” I added inaudibly. 

“You’re sure about that?” Andre took a quick look at me, before setting his eyes back on the road. 

“Yeah, why are you asking me that?” I glimpsed at him. 

“I’m just being concerned. I hope Luke hasn’t been treating you bad like how he did in your previous marriage.” 

“Honestly, he’s still a jerk,” I said. Andre was quick to look at me. “But, he’s actually gotten better than before. There’s a little bit of human in him, now.” 

“I see. That’s actually a great thing, right? I mean, there’s a chance that the both of you can live happily ever after.” 

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Come on, Andre. This isn’t a fairytale.” 

“I never said it was,” he uttered, his tone silly. “But just in case that man tries to make your life a living hell. Just know I’m here for you.‘ 

I grinned at him. “What are you going to do, exactly?” 

“I’m gonna beat the hell out of him.” 

I giggled, playfully hitting his shoulder. “I guess you must be feeling like 

Superman when you said that.” 

“Nah, I’m not a fan of Superman.” 

I chuckled. “Are you being for real right now?” 

He glanced at me. “Well, yeah. Do I look like I’m joking, or what?” 

“Like come on.” I opened my mouth slightly. “Who doesn’t like Superman?” 

“Oh, I’ve seen a lot of children who are just like me in this one.‘ 

“Well, if we were to rate this a hundred percent. I think ninety percent of 

individual in this world are fans of Superman. Big fans.” 

Andre Laughed. “Hmm teli me more about it,” he sarcastically said. 

“No, no. I’m being for real. Like the ‘S on my chest‘ stuff and all that? Come on man, are you human, or what?” 

“Well guess what? Lukel and Janice are both like me. We don’t really care about that about that Kryptonian, or whatever they call him.” 

I furrowed my brows at him, silent for a moment. “You have got to be kidding me. 

“Ha!” Andre exclaimed, playfully hitting my shoulder, as he kept on driving. 

LUKE’S POV 

“So, are you giving me that money, or not?” Lucifer asked. 

I couldn’t hold back a sigh. “I see you want this so bad? What if I don’t give it to you?” 

“Your life is in danger, Luke Reynold. And you need to know who’s after you, so you can be able to stop her before it’s too late.” 

“Stop her?” I brought out instantly. “So, it’s a she.” 

“Oops. Looks like I just gave you a little hint,” Lucifer said in a playful tone. Then he became serious as she spoke, “Well, it’s a she. That’s all you need to know for now. And if you don’t act fast, she might take your life, or kill those who are precious to you.” 

Do I have any one precious to me, again? I didn’t really think so. But I would just have to do this anyway. Only because I wanted to know the person behind Riley’s death.
