The Love From Vengeance

259: Throwback: I SEE YOU THROUGH THE STARS
LUKE'S POV
FLASHBACK
I stood outside my mansion, the cold winter air biting at my skin as I shivered in
my thin coat. It was New Year's Eve; I was just seventeen. As I gazed up at the
starry sky, memories flooded. I remember when I was just a little kid, my mother
would take me outside on New Year's Eve, and we would shout. at the top of our
lungs until the clock struck 12:00 am. It was our little tradition, one that I looked
forward to every year.
But now, my parents are gone. They had passed away In a car accident ten
years ago, and everything has changed since then. I was left with my massive
mansion, countless servants, and a large inheritance. And there was my
grandfather, who was always there for me. But none of it mattered to me. I would
give it all up just to have my parents back and to have them by my side on this
special night.
I watched as people around the neighborhood set off fireworks, their shouts and
laughter filling the air. It was a cheerful sight but only made me feel more alone. I
longed for my mother’s warm embrace. and my father’s booming laugh. I closed
my eyes and tried to
imagine them standing next to me,
celebrating the new year together.
“Luke, are you okay?" A voice brought me back to reality, and I turned to see my
butler, James, standing behind me.
“I'm fine, James,” I replied with a forced smile.
“You should come inside; it's freezing out here,” he said, concern evident in his
voice.
“I'll be there in a minute,” I assured him, wanting to be alone for a little while
longer.
“As you wish, sir,” James said before walking back into the warmth of the house.
I turned my attention back to the sky, watching as the fireworks continued to light
up the night. I couldn't help but feel a pang of envy towards those families
celebrating together. I wished I could join them, but I couldn't bring myself to face
the world without my parents:
Suddenly, a loud bang caught my attention, and I looked up to see a group of
teenagers shooting off a large firework. They were laughing and cheering; their
joy was contagious. I couldn't help but smile at their excitement. It reminded me
of the times when I was their age, carefree and full of life.
“Hey, you want to join us?” One of the boys called out to me.
I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I wanted to be around other people. But then I
remembered my parents and how they would want me to enjoy this night. So, I
made my way towards the group and joined in their celebration.
When the clock struck 12:00 am, we all shouted “Happy New Year!” at the top
just like my mother and I used to do. And in that moment, surrounded by new
friends, I felt a sense of peace. I

knew my parents were looking down on me, happy to see me finally moving
forward.
“Happy New Year, Luke,” one of the girls said, giving me a hug.
“Happy New Year,” I replied with a smile, feeling grateful for this unexpected
moment of joy.
The night went on. I laughed and talked with my new friends, feeling like a weight
had been lifted off my shoulders. I knew I still had a long way to go in dealing
with my loss, but for now, I was happy to have this memory to hold onto. As I
watched the fireworks light up the sky, I knew that my parents were with me in
spirit, celebrating the new year together.
Although we were rich, I had never been to a party like this before. The grand
ballroom was filled with chandeliers, expensive art pieces, and people dressed in
their finest designer clothes. My grandfather and I were invited to this party by
one of our business partners, who was throwing a soiree for all the billionaires in
town. As we made our way through the crowd, my grandfather introduced me to
various people, all of them incredibly successful and wealthy.
“Luke, this is Mr. Roberts, one of the city’s most prominent real estate
developers,” my grandfather said, shaking hands with a man who looked to be in
his sixties.
“It's a pleasure to meet you, sir,” I replied, trying my best to sound confident and
composed.
After a few more introductions, I excused myself and headed towards the bar to
get a drink. As I sipped on my scotch, I couldn't help but feel a little out of place. I
was only eighteen and surrounded by people at least twice my age. But I felt a
tap on my shoulder before I could dwell on it.
I turned around to see a stunning woman with long blonde hair and piercing blue
eyes. She had a mischievous smile on her face as she extended her hand
toward me.
“Hi, I'm Hailey,” she said, her voice smooth and seductive.
Her forwardness and her beauty took me aback. I introduced myself, and we
struck up a conversation. Hailey told me that she was the daughter of a notable
billionaire in New Haven and had recently moved back home after studying
abroad.
Our conversation continued, and I felt drawn to her. She was smart, funny, and
incredibly charming. But then she said something that caught me completely off
guard.
“You know, I've been watching you all night, Luke. And I have to say, I really like
what I see,” Hailey said, her eyes roaming over my body.
I could feel my cheeks flush as I tried to formulate a response. Before I could say
anything, she leaned in closer and whispered in my ear.
“I want to have sex with you.”

“Why not? Age is just a number, and besides, you're legal,” Halley said with a sly
smile.

“I appreciate your offer, Hailey. But I'm not interested in women,” I said firmly.
Hailey’s smile faltered for a second before she regained her composure.
“Well, that's a shame. But you know where to find me if you ever change your
mind.” She winked at me before walking away.
