The Love From Vengeance

21 AGREED

LUKE’S POV

“What’s the problem? What’s wrong?” I asked Jack curiously.

“It’s Harriet,” he answered. I immediately stood up from the floor, still holding my phone in

my ear.

“Harriet? What happened to Harriet?” A worried expression appeared on my face.

“She’s currently at the hospital, unconscious.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“What the… but how?” I inquired. “She was with me just last night. What could have happened to her?”

“Well, the doctor informed us that she took too many pills. It was an overdose, but fortunately, she survived.”

“Oh my goodness, Harriet,” I whispered to myself, hitting my head. “Text me the address of the hospital.”

“Okay, sir,” Jack replied before ending the call.

Why would Harriet do such a thing? Was she trying to give me a heart attack or something? I knew I was extremely angry with her, but that didn’t change the fact that I still loved her. Yes, she had done something wrong, and she needed to face the consequences. However, taking her own life was not the answer. What was she thinking?

“What happened to Harriet?” Riley asked.

“She overdosed and is currently in the hospital,” I answered, quickly putting on a pair of jeans.

“Oh, that’s terrible.”

“I know.” I hurriedly put on my shirt.

“But why would she do that? Did you two have an argument?” Riley queries, trying to understand the situation.

“Well, not really. It’s just that I said some hurtful things to her last night.”

“But why?” Riley continued with her questions.

I looked at her for a moment. “I found out everything.”

“Um, please explain it more clearly to me,” Riley requested.

I sighed. “I discovered why she had been treating you so poorly.”

“You did?” She raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, and as a result, I broke up with her.”

Upon hearing this, Riley chuckled and shook her head. “And then she decided to end her life. How foolish of her.”

“Can you please be more respectful?” I pleaded. “Yes, what Harriet did was wrong, but that doesn’t change the fact that I love her.”

“If you love her, why did you break up with her then?” Riley questioned.

“It was out of anger, okay?”

“You should think twice before taking action. Making hasty decisions is never the best solution in life.”

“But she didn’t,” I promptly replied.

“But if she had died, would you have held yourself responsible?”

“Yes, I suppose,” I answered softly. Then I received a text from Jack containing the address of the hospital. “We’ll talk later. I have to go.”

“Okay, take care.” Riley waved her hand at me as I reached the door. I grinned at her and left

the room.

ARIEL’S POV

I leisurely opened my eyes and let out a scream the moment I saw Mason sitting on my bed. He had a knife in his hand, which frightened me. Had he come to kill me or something? This was definitely not a dream.

“What’s with that scream, huh?” Mason‘ smirked at me. “Thought I was going to stab to death?”

I did nothing but look at him, filled with terror, because I knew the person sitting close to me was completely insane. He was a psychopath, and I was afraid he could do something crazy right now. But I didn’t want to die yet; I still had a long way to go in life. I had children to take care of.

“What are you doing here?” I asked with an unfriendly stare, and he laughed immediately. I couldn’t see the humor in this situation.

“I just came to check up on you, sweetheart. I can’t resist taking a look at this beautiful face.” He wanted to move his finger around my cheek, but I stopped him.

“Well, this is my room, and I would really appreciate it if you could get your hideous face out of here.”

“Don’t be so rude now, babygirl. You don’t want to see the other side of me,” he smirked.

I sighed and asked calmly, “What do you want?”

“Now we’re talking!” He exclaimed instantly. “You’re finally thinking straight. Now just keep being a good girl.”

This young man was talking as if I were a little kid or something. I was burning with anger on the inside, but I couldn’t act stupid at the moment. He had a knife with him, and any slight rage could cause him to stab the living soul out of me.

“Can you please get straight to the point? I have a business meeting in about an hour, and I need to get ready.”

“Have you made up your mind?” Mason asked with a smiling face. That was definitely a fake smile. “Or do you still need more time?”

“What if I request more time?”

“It’s invalid,” he replied without hesitation. “You need to make a choice right now, right here. And you need to think wisely. Just so you know, only one phone call can take your little children out of this world.”

It was infuriating that he had to mention my children in this conversation. I was overshadowed with anger, and I swear, if given the opportunity, I would have ripped this guy’s balls apart. With no second thought about it, there would be no time wasted.

“I can’t believe you keep threatening me with my children.”

“And I can’t believe you’re still thinking like a fool,” he threw back at me. “Just comply, and I

“Fine, I’ll do it,” I agreed, not happy about the situation.

“You’ll get inarried to Luke?”

“Isn’t that what you want?” I glared at him.

“Of course, that’s what I want.” He nodded, smiling, and then he got up. “You can go get dressed for your meeting. We’ll see each other later in the day,” he said, walking away.

I sighed, shaking my head.

LUKE’S POV

I arrived at the hospital, following the address Jack had sent me. The place was quite calm, and there were hushed whispers among the doctors.

I approached the reception desk at the entrance, and the nurse standing there was actually beautiful. She greeted me with a delightful smile. Behind her was a large sign with the hospital’s name written in bold letters. Yeah, this was definitely the right place.

Still thinking about Harriet, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy. I was uncomfortable, and I could only blame myself for what had happened to her.

I walked further into the hospital, looking quite worried and disturbed. But then I saw people sitting down, and their sad expressions were even worse than mine, I didn’t know what was going on, but I could sense their distress.

I didn’t know why, but my heart was pounding really fast. Wow, I was genuinely worried about Harriet, even after what she had done. I was quite surprised by myself.

As I walked slowly, I surveyed the rooms to see if I could spot Harriet. Soft music played from a nearby table, and I couldn’t help but appreciate the soothing melody.

2) AGREED

A few more steps, and finally, my eyes landed on the person I was looking for.
