A Love Forgotten

I tugged at Logan’s arm. “I dont want to see him.”

Logan took a glance at me. “Wait in the car then.”

I hesitated. “What about here? It seems like they’ve called the police.”

Logan replied. “It’s fine. You and Teri get in the car. I’ll let the driver take you both home first.”

I nodded and immediately took Teri’s hand to leave. However, Elijah spotted this and blocked our ways.

I coldly said, “Get out of our way!”

Elijah suppressed his anger and extended his hand to grab me. “Come home with me.”

I took a step back and avoided his hand as I frowned. I’m not going back.”

Then, Teri stepped in between us. “Elijah, so what if we beat up your pack of lackeys today? They were the ones who insulted Ari first. They deserved it!”

Elijah stared at me with a hardened face. “Ariana, you never learn, do you? I thought you were serious this time. But it turns out that you were just making a scene” He sneered. “Who taught you this?”

He then glanced at Logan and distinctly insinuated that he was the one to blame.

I sneered. “Mr. Linden, what does it have to do with you that I hit someone who deserved to be hit? You didn’t think that I did it just to get your attention, did you?”

Elijah smiled disdainfully. “Isn’t that what this is all about? You used to bribe them just my

“What? Now that you’re out of money, you’ve resorted to getting my attention by hitting them?”

I turned to Teri and said, ‘Is something wrong with this man? I can’t believe he thinks I hit people just for

his attention.”

Ten clicked her tongue. “I know. Who would’ve thought the president of the Linden Group was mentally ill? Ari, we should stay away from him. Who knows? We might get caught in the fallout when he acts. foolishly”

Elijah grew angrier at our words.

He extended his hand to grab me before a hand firmly stopped him in his tracks.

Elijah looked at Logan and coldly said, “Mr. Wood, we meet again.”

Logan didn’t let go of Elijah as he turned to me and said, “Aren’t you heading to the car?”

I quickly took Teri’s hand and walked toward the car.

I heard Elijah’s mocking voice behind me, “Mr. Wood, you have quite the unique taste

Logan was unfazed “I don’t understand your joke, Mr. LindenNôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Eljalis voice was neither too loud nor too soft. It was perfectly pitched for everyone to hear what he said.

“I never expected that your preference is for married women, Mr. Wood Since you’re so interested in the woman I discarded. I suppose I can consider that this lingering hassle has finally been dealt with.”

The air went still, and Teri tightly clutched my hand

I stared at Elijah with reddened eyes

He held his head high and met my gaze with defiance.

I could smell the metallic pang of blood in my nose, and my heart turned cold as the warm blood flowed out from my nose.

I heard one person laughing before others followed suit.

At that moment, my vision blurred. I glanced around and saw everyone looking at me with a pitiful and disdainful expression.

They’d destroyed my self–esteem with such loud humiliation.

I didn’t even remember how I got out of there, but I was already at the Wood residence when I regained

my senses.

Teri was wiping my face and my hands beside me.

I

It was only then I realized my palms were covered in deep red marks from where I had dug my nails into

them.

I let out a deep breath.

Teri patted her chest in relief after seeing that I had calmed down. “Good heavens. I’m glad you’re okay. You looked truly terrifying just now.”

I felt a strange calmness wash over me as I asked, “Did Porter call the police?”

Teri pursed her lips in disdain. “So what if he did? The police came and left. Elijah didn’t let his lackeys make a fuss about it. It’s all over now.”

I asked, “Where’s Logan?”

Teri took a glance at me. “It seemed like he went off to take care of something.” She seemed slightly worried as she nudged me. “Ari, what are you planning to do next?”

I answered without hesitation, “Divorce.”
