Chapter 27
Jayden Clinton
I’ve had Alex stalk Harley for a while now, and he has noticed something about those two. I don’t think she’s going to do a perfect job, she may likely end up betraying me, and I have to do something while I still can. I have gotten every necessary information I need about the little boy and every members of Richmond’s family.
I drive to the amusement park and as expected, she got there before me. She looks as beautiful as always in the red sleeveless short gown she’s wearing, her blonde hairs falls freely over her shoulders, her flawless and spotless skin glows beneath the sunlight. I watch as she smile at the little boy, and her smile is out of the word. She looks extremely beautiful when she smile. Funny and crazy that I am admiring her, but I still can’t help it.
For over a couple of days now, I have been thinking of her for no reason, I have been trying to get her off my mind, but the more I try to, the more difficult it seem to be. I now regret sending her to stay with Richmond in the first place. Yes, I haven’t been with her for long, and it’s crazy how the bond suddenly built up especially when she hasn’t been around me, but even I am confused what’s going on.
I have met her in the past, we had a night stand at a club, and we went our separate ways. That was the best sex of my life, and until now, I’m still yet to get it off my head. After that night, I found myself looking for her, but I never found her. I felt sad when I couldn’t find her, so I tried to get her off my mind. Although I succeeded, but everything changed the moment she stepped into my base camp and I recognized her to be the same lady I have been looking for.
I hid the fact that we knew each other and I pretended as though we never met, but deep inside me, I craved for her every minute, and I wish we can have that moment of years ago again. It’s over two years already, but it still feels as though it’s just yesterday. The only reason why I have been keeping up this attitude, is because I didn’t want her to get distracted from work. She made me feel the way no woman has ever made me feel. Although I felt happy when I learned that she managed to get Richmond to fall in love with her, but deep inside me, I keep feeling this bitterness and found myself worried that she might return the feeling as the time goes by.
She ruffle his hair then stand up and turn around to leave, but she collides with my chest and a strange feeling spur through me. My heartbeat increase and as she raise her gaze to look at me, my heart flusters at the sight of her beautiful eyes.
She looks around as if she’s trying to make sure that nobody is watching us.
“You scared me,” She bit her bottom lip, and the sudden urge to grab those sexy lips and suck on them, spur through me, but I try my best to keep my self-control in check. I don’t know for how long I’ll be able to restrain myself.
I glance at the little boy, and the look he gives me speaks volume of his emotions. He looks like he hates me already and I only scoffs at his reaction.
“Hey, little boy,” I smile at the boy, but he take a step away, giving me a warning look. If only he knows who I am, I’m sure he would’ve run for his dear life already.
“Uhm… Nelson, why don’t you go play over there? Mommy has something to take care of,” She squats down to the little boy’s level and coarse him. Wait! Did she just say ‘mommy’? The little boy glance at me, as though he doesn’t want to leave.
“No, mommy. Daddy asked me to always protect you. He look like a bad man, and I don’t want him to hurt you,” His little voice amuses me. Wow! He’s smart, just like his dad.
“Come on, boy. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’ll keep eyes on you from here, you can also watch from there, OK?” She strokes her hair as if she’s trying to tame him. I’m growing impatient already, so this kid better leave already.
The boy glares at me for seconds before he finally walks away reluctantly.
“Why didn’t you tell me about him?” I ask her as soon as the boy is far away from us.
“Is it necessary?” She stands beside me, looking at the boy that is now playing all alone.
“I have a new job for you,” She glance at me upon hearing this, and a smirk lace up my lips.
“I want you to get rid of Nelson and Richmond,” I say to her with a deep frown on my face.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Her eyes slowly widens with shocked expression written all over her. Her mouth drops open.
“That’s not possible. Why? Did the innocent boy do anything wrong to you? How could you think of hurting him?” Anger and sadness resounds in her voice as she stares at me with so much hatred in her face. She looks like she has developed a bond with him that seems so strong. But I won’t let the two get together, not now and not forever.
“You have no right to question my decision, Harley. You have just three weeks left. Don’t think of doing anything stupid, you won’t like what’ll happen if you do. In case if you’re thinking of playing a trick on me, that won’t work either,” I wear my eyeglass, and adjust my suit. I starts walking away.
“Do you know what he has been through? How could you be so heartless to think of harming a little innocent kid that knows nothing?” Tears flow down her cheeks and my heart tightens in pain. I don’t know why I’m suddenly hurt to see her in tears, but I won’t let that get to me.
“Do I look like care what they or he have been through?”
“You don’t know what love is, you don’t know how it feels to have a family, so I don’t blame you a bit. You lived all your life alone, so I don’t expect you to know the worth of having family. Now listen to me, don’t you dare come anywhere close to Nelson. You won’t like to see the beast in me,” I freeze on the spot, hearing those words from her. She glares at me and walk away angrily while I stare at her in shock…
