A Love Forgotten (Arianna and Elijah)

Chapter 139

That explained the sudden influx of money in my account.

I began to understand why Jonathan and Logan got along so well-they were ban of a kind, both vengeful and unforgiving

Jonathan seemed impulsive and arrogant, but beneath it all, he was shrewd and decisive. In some ways, Jonathan and I were alike.

Logan, on the other hand, pemainely surprised me. He seemed mild-mannered, gentle, and quiet-someone who didn't like to cause trouble. But who would have guessed that he held grudges and was just as vengeful as Immathan?

Teri kept rambling about how Jonathan had brought people to the Linden residences to vandalize them and take everything that belonged to me while I was in a coma-everything!

"All are you feeling any better?" he asked.

I nodded. "Much better."

Even looked defeated. "I get it. I'm sorry I really am. I key man would react this way, but..."

I thought for a boment and replied, "It's not your fault, but let's forget it. This doesn't involve you..."

Evan suddenly turned to me and exclaimed, "How could it not involve? 1.
