The Love From Vengeance

127 ON MY KNEES

LUKE’S POV

I couldn’t believe this woman was making me do this. But I knew I had to play along it I

wanted to find Ariel. This woman must be feeling so full of herself at the

moment.

I slowly got down on my knees, feeling the hard ground beneath me. I could feel Andre’s

gaze on me, but I couldn’t bring myself to look at him. I was too angry and embarrassed.

“Come on, Luke, beg me,” my mother taunted.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. “Please, Mom, tell me where Ariel is. I’ll do

anything.”

She just laughed, her mocking tone only adding fuel to my anger.

Suddenly, a car pulled up in front of us, and two men in suits stepped out. I could see the

glint of their guns in the moonlight.

“Who the hell are these guys?” I asked, still on my knees.

My mother’s smirk widened. “They’re here to make sure you and your little friend don’t try

anything stupid.”

I looked over at Andre, who was still standing, his hands held up in surrender.” What are

we supposed to do now, huh?”

“We have to stay calm and do as they say,” Andre replied, his voice shaking slightly.

The two men approached us, their guns still pointed at us. One of them spoke in a gruff

voice. “Alright, boys, let’s take a walk to the car. And don’t try any funny business.”

We both stood up slowly, keeping our hands up and followed the two men to the car. I had

a feeling something like this was going to happen.

The moment we reached the car, one of the men opened the door and gestured for us to

get in. I hesitated, but Andre gave me a reassuring nod, and we both climbed into the

backseat. The men entered the car as well. I could see, through the window, my mother

entering her car. She began to drive, and these men moved behind her.

The car finally stopped, and Andre and I were not talking to each other the whole time.

The men got out and dragged us out of the vehicle. It was such a painful

thing that the billionaire, Luke Reynold, was being treated this way,

Stepping out of her car, my mother walked to the both of us, her smirk still on her face. I

had to glare at her once more, but all she could do was give me that galling expression.

“You want to know where Ariel is, right?” She asked, raising her brows at me. My dark iook

didn’t fade off my face, nor was I being sacred around here. This part of me told me to rip

her head off, and another part was like, Just let the goddamn witch be.”

“Yes, we do,” Andre replied to her question.

She didn’t hesitate to glare at him. “I wasn’t talking to you.”

I looked around; we were in a forest, and the ground was really sticky. I glanced back at

her and quickly elbowed the man who was holding me, breaking his grip. Before he could

bring his gun out of his pocket, I gave him a spear, Roman Reigns style, and of course, he

had to land on the ground.

I was about to deliver powerful punches to him when I felt a gun pointing at the back of

my head. A sigh escaped my lips, probably from that witch or the other idiot who was

present. Yeah, there were three idiots: Andre and the other two men. I wasn’t pleased with

the folks present with me.

“You try to do shit again, and I’ll shoot you,” my mother said. She was the one pressing

the gun against the back of

my head.

I laughed, slowly getting up, and the gun didn’t change its position one bit. Still, in a slow

manner, I turned around, and now the gun was right on my forehead.

“Are you going to kill me?” I asked her, my hands raised a little.

“If you try to act smart, I won’t spare you,” she answered, not taking her gun down.

“You are crazy.”

“And you are an idiot!” She retorted.

I exhaled deeply. “So, how are you feeling right now?”

“What do you mean by that?” She raised an eyebrow.

“Well, the fact that you keep on doing evil and you’re just happy with all of your… actions.

Come on, have you even sat down one day to think about the people you’ve caused so

much pain? You killed my father, your husband, and you had to murder your friend, too.

Do you have any idea how broken I was,.learning that my parents were no more? Sir

Reynold, on the other hand, was shattered because of the death of his son.”

“Am I supposed to care? That old fool never liked me, but he was the smart one in the

family. I loved his thinking, but too bad he couldn’t get rid of me. I got your father’s

money, and now I’m here, about to take yours as well.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“What’s there to explain?” She shrugged. “I’m about to take your money. It’s as simple as

that.”

“Bullshit!” I shrieked and pushed her to the ground. The man behind me fired a gunshot in

my direction, almost hitting my leg. But lucky for me, I stirred out of the way.

Andre had to deal with the other man, putting an end to his grip and seizing his gun. He

was a strong man; I could see that.

And just when we were beating the hell out of these men, a gunshot was released in the

air by my mother. I turned to her, and she pointed the gun at me, about to shoot, but

Andre knocked it from her hand. She wanted to slap him, but he seized her hand and then

he shoved her away from him.

I went to pick the gum from the ground. Gunshots fired at the two men, and I could tell

they were dead. I set my eyes back on my mother, trying to catch my breath. “You have

no one to help you anymore. Now, you tell me, where is Ariel?”

“Shoot me if you want! But I’m not going to say anything,” she spat.

“Tell us now! Where is Ariel?!” Andre yelled at her.

“I’m not going to say anything!” She yelled back.

“Fuck!” I shot the ground, the bullet almost hitting her leg. I controlled my fingers, and my

aim was just perfect. I wanted her to be terrified. I was definitely not the little Luke she

used to play with before. Hell no! Things have changed, just the way she has.

“Were you really going to shoot. me?” She asked softly, her tone showing how she was

surprised that I released that bullet towards her.

“Are you shocked?” I questioned her, pointing the gun at her.

“No, I’m not. So go ahead, young man, shoot me!”

My hands trembled, trying to decide whether I should grant her wish. And after a moment,

I had to reach my conclusion. “I’m not going to kill you,” I said, closing my eyes and taking

the gun down. “Not everyone is as heartless as you.“, “What a fool you are.” She smirked,

and my fingers were shot immediately.
