Chapter 55
“You’ve just blown everything off. How could you have done that?” Harley screams at Richmond angrily, running her fingers through her hair as she paces crazily in his living room. She looks extremely angry.
“What were you expecting me to do? He deserves to be put behind bars forever and pay for his crimes!” Richmond fires back at her, and she sighs softly, trying to control her anger. This isn’t what she was planning to do, she was planning to watch him feel so much pain before he finally pass away, but now Richmond has ruined all her plans.
“And now has he been caught? What were you thinking? That you can outsmart Jayden? That’s not possible. I could’ve handled this better, I could’ve…”
“Are you angry because he has been exposed? Are you angry because the only man you love has been exposed or you’re angry that he wasn’t caught?” Richmond fires back at her, and she flinches. Now that he mentioned that, she doesn’t know what she feels exactly. Yes, she is mad at him for taking her family away from her, she want to take revenge for everything that he had done to her, but then a part of her still feels pity for him. A part of her feels like she shouldn’t hurt him…
Harley Quinn
After the cover was blown, I packed out of the house and now currently lodging in an hotel. As the cab I took drives down the road, too many thoughts parades my mind as I stare out of the window. I don’t know what I’m thinking, I don’t know what I feel anymore. One minute, I want to hurt him and the next minute, I want to hold him tightly and tell him how much I love him and don’t ever wanna be away from him.
Memories of the past haunts my mind. The first day that we met at that bar. I was marveled by his handsomeness at first sight. I was so drunk that I found myself on the bed with him the next day. I felt this tingling feeling inside me whenever I thought of him. I thought we were never going to see each other again, but when I saw him that day, a part of me was shocked as I wasn’t expecting him, a part of me was embarrassed and a part of me hated him at the instant for pretending not to know me.
We were living happily as couples even if I still had things bothering me, he was always there for me and treated me like a queen, I never knew that things will turn out this way.
A drop of tears slid down her cheeks as she stares down at the engagement ring in her finger. Recalling his words breaks her heart. He promised to protect her no matter what happens, he promised to do anything for her provided that it’ll make her happy. For some seconds, she think talking about it would’ve been the best thing to do, but then she couldn’t let go of everything that happened.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
She rubs her hands on her protruding stomach as more tears trickles down her cheeks. All she ever wanted was a happy home, where she will have kids and take care of them with her husband, but what can she do when fate already designed her life the way it wanted it to be?
“We’re here, maam…” The cabby’s voice disrupts her thoughts and she quickly wipes off her tears before she finally steps out of the car and pay him, after which she head to the hotel. As she stride through the lobby, something catches her attention. It’s a familiar young man. Alex!
Not letting herself lose track of him, she follows him secretly until she takes the hallway that also lead to her room. She hide behind the wall, as she watches him open the door that’s just opposite her room. A strong wave of suspicion sparks through her.
Three hours later…
She has been in her room, reminiscing on what happened. She keeps asking herself what Alex could be doing in the same hotel with her, but she can’t come up with any good reason. Of course, it doesn’t look to her like it’s a coincidence. It can’t be.
Sitting on the edge of her bed and lost in thoughts, the knock on her door pulls her attention, and her heart misses a beat. She gulps down the lump in her throat as she stares at the closed door. For some reason, she feels nervous.
Taking a deep breath, she stands up and ambles to the door. She peeks through the hole and as expected, it’s Alex. She takes another deep breath before she finally holds the doorknob and twist it slowly, opening the door afterward.
“We need to talk, Harley…” He says as soon as the door is open and she sighs softly.
“What do you want?” She asks coldly, trying to cover up her nervousness. She’s scared as many thoughts keeps conflicting on her mind. What if they had suspected that she poisoned him? What if something bad had happened to him? Thinking about this, she suddenly wishes that he’s fine.
“Can you let me in, please? It’s about Jayden…” She finally leaves the door wide open for him and he walks in. She closes the door behind them and turn to face him. He has a sad expression on his face, which explains to her that something is wrong somewhere.
“Jayden… He’s in coma…” Her heart skips like a million times upon hearing this and her mouth drops open. Of course, it was her doing, she poisoned him in the first place and should’ve been expecting something like this to happen, but still, she’s shocked to hear the news.
“Wh… what happened?” She asks, acting clueless.
“A chemical substance of polonium 204 was found in his body. He has been poisoned by someone, and I’m yet to know who the culprit is,” he runs his fingers through his hair as a drop of tears slid down his cheeks.
“The doctor said that he won’t survive it,” her heart wrenches in pain upon hearing this, and she slowly clenches her fists as tears find their way out of her eyes. She never wanted to hurt the man she loves, she never wanted to hurt the father of her unborn child, but she couldn’t take the pain. And now, she’s regretting her actions.
“Harley… he needs you now, please… You have to come with me, maybe he’ll miraculously be fine with you around. I don’t want Jayden to die. He’s the only family I have, I don’t want to lose him, please,” he holds her by her shoulders and shaking her slightly…
