Chapter 267
267 FIRM ON IT
‘Ariel, just listen to me. This vengeance may have consequences later.”
“I don’t care about the consequences. I’m just going to make sure Mason gets what he deserves.”
“You’re seriously going to kill him? You’re not even thinking of changing your mind?”
“Why should I?“
‘Because I don’t want anything bad to happen to you.” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“Or, you don’t want anything bad to happen to your brother.”
“Well, that is true. But you, especially.”
“Oh really?” I raised my brows in disbelief.
“Yes, think of it. If you kill Mason, the cops are going to start searching for his murderer. And who knows? They might get to know that you’re the one behind his death. And with that, you’re going
straight to jail.”
I chuckled. “You think I don’t know all that?”
“Then why do you want to do this?”
THE SIGHT FROM THERE
ARIEL’S POV
It’s
It for my son, of course. That Innocent soul is gone, all because of that scumbag. And trust me, I’m going to make him pay. I don’t care about the consequences, André. Masón deserves to die, and no one is going to stop me from carrying out my revenge.”
Andre’s eyes widened in shock. “Ariel, you can’t do this. You can’t be a monster like Mason. You’ll regret it later.”
“I won’t regret it. He killed my son, André. He destroyed our family. I won’t rest until he pays for his
sins.”
“You don’t have to kill him to make him pay. Let the law handle it.”
I shook my head. “The law can’t bring back my son. The law can’t give me closure. Mason must
die.”
“And what about you? What will happen to you if you get caught? Have you thought about that?”
I shrugged. “I don’t care. I’ll take whatever punishment comes my way. As long as Mason is dead, I’ll be at peace.”
“You’re not thinking straight, Ariel. Please, don’t do this.”
“I’ve made up my mind, André. Nothing you say will change it.”
“And what about our friendship? Will you throw that away, too, for the sake of revenge?”
“It’s not about our friendship, André. It’s about justice. And I won’t let anyone stand in my way.”
Before Andre could respond, a nurse walked into the room. “Excuse me, I came to check on the
patient.”
Andre looked at me with a pleading expression. “Please, Ariel. Think about it. Don’t do something
you’ll regret.”
I gave him a small smile. “Take care, Andre.” With that, I left the room, leaving Andre and the nurse
behind.
As I walked down the hospital hallway, I couldn’t help but think about what André said. Was I really becoming a monster like Mason? But then I remembered the pain and suffering he caused me, and all doubts disappeared, Mason must pay for his actions.
After leaving the hospital, I walked to my car. I brought my keys out of my purse, and just as I was
about to open the car, my phone started ringing. It was a video call from Luke.
answered the call, and right on the screen, I saw Janice. Sitting next to her was Luke and they both had big smiles on their faces.
Mommy, where are you?” Janice asked, smiling at the screen. “Are you at the hospital?”
“Yes, I came to see your uncle, Andre.”
Ohhh, Uncle André! He’s still at the hospital.”
“Yes, Janice. Remember he was badly wounded?”
“I do remember. So when are you coming back?”
“I’m on my way now. You miss me already?”
“Of course, I miss you, Mommy. And you can just guess what happened.”
“What?” I asked her, smiling.
“Daddy and I played video games. I’m still bad at it, but he’s giving me some tips.”
I laughed. “Wow, that’s so nice.”
“Yes, it is! Please come as soon as possible. I’m hungry.”
“You’re hungry?”
Janice nodded.
Ay
“Why don’t you tell one of the helpers there to prepare breakfast for you?”
“No, mommy. I want to eat only food. I want to taste only your dish.”
I couldn’t help but laugh softly. “Okay, sweetheart. I’ll be with you anytime soon.”
The call ended, and I just stood still for a few seconds, smiling. But my eyes caught someone from afar, and she was also staring at me with that horrific look on her face, which was filled with
bruises and scars.
We both kept staring at each other, not putting an end to the gaze. Her eyes burned with rage, but they were nowhere near mine; they shouldn’t even be compared. Just by recalling what she did,
the hate only compounded.
And, of course, you know who I’m talking about. It’s Harriet, the goddamn fool, who didn’t even deserve to be breathing. The good–for–nothing idiotic idiot. Oh fuck! I was so upset seeing her; 1 was just saying things at the moment.
Harriet’s glare changed into a demonic smirk, and then she walked away. In case you were wondering, she was wearing a hoodie, so her face was covered to some extent.
