Treachery Affair

Harley Quinn

It’s not something I planned to ever happen, but it seems like at this point, this is what fate really wants. Being Jay’s girlfriend is really cool and sweet. Now I understand the saying that ‘when a bad boy falls in love, it’s always crazy and cool’. It’s been over one month since I officially became his girlfriend, and he has been treating me nicely. Taking me out on dates and getting me gifts even when I have the money to afford it.

For the past one week, he has been busy with cleaning up the mess that was created by one of his men’s carelessness two weeks ago that almost landed the dude behind bars. But thank his luck that Jay always has his way of doing things and getting his men out of trouble. Who knows, maybe he would’ve rot in jail for the rest of his life.

For the past one month that I found out about that necklace, I’ve been trying to get clues about how Richmond might be connected to my late sister, but it’s just so difficult to find anything, especially now that Richmond hates me and doesn’t want me anywhere close to his family. I’ve been trying to figure out if there’s anything I can do about this, but so far, I’ve not come up with anything that’ll help me out. I need to figure this out as soon as I can.

Standing at the balcony and staring up at the bright sky, the gentle morning breeze strokes my face and give me the soothing feelings I need, getting my head light. ‘You’re a traitor’ the image of my parents keep popping up in my head. The look on their faces showed that they were angry, but how I am a traitor, is what I have no idea of.

The sound of my ringing phone pull me back to reality and I sigh briefly upon seeing the caller. It’s Samir. What does he want now? Talking about Samir, he has been trying to convince me to go back with him to Mexico, but I’m not ready for that. He’s presently still in Russia, but I don’t think Jay has an idea about that.

“Can we meet?” His voice sounds through the phone in a low pitch tone which tells me that something is wrong somewhere.

“Alright…” I drawl my reply while pulling a puzzled look. After he end the call, I dash back into the room and get dress before I finally leave the house. Following the address he sent to me, I drive to the suppose place which happen to be a beach. I spot him standing close to the beach and I hurry over to him.

“You’re here…” He turn to face me and I nod while trying to stabilize my breath.

“Are you OK? You sounded so urgent,” I ask and he nods.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Harley… what’s going on?” He questions, staring into my eyes intently as though the answers to his question is written on my face. I know exactly what he wants to talk about. I should’ve known better than coming here. He wants to convince me to come back with him and there’s no way I’ll agree to that.

“I… I don’t understand…” I drawl even if I know what he’s talking about.

“This wasn’t what we talked about, is it? You told me you were going to come back to me, so what’s going on now?” He hold my hands and give them a light squeeze, but that spark I use to feel back then each time he had touched me, is no longer there now. I can’t feel anything, but instead I feel repulsive.

“Uhm… Samir…” I slowly retract my hands from his grasp and a scoff tear through his throat. The look on his face explains his emotions. He’s very angry.

“The rumor I’m hearing… is it true? Is it true that you and Jay are…”

“Yes…” I cut him off and his eyes darken as he glare hard at me. It’s better to tell him the truth so he won’t keep his hope high, right? Besides, we were never dating. It was just me being all clingy and crushing on him. So there’s no point to have waited for him, right?

“What!” He exclaim having a confused expression on his face.

“Are you kidding me, Harley? What the heck do you think you’re doing, huh? You think you can dump for because of him, just like that? That’s not happening, not now and not forever!” He fire at me and I flinch.

“Dump you? I don’t understand. The last time I remember, we were never into any relationship…”

“But I loved you!” He cut me off and I freeze on the spot. All the while that I was with him, I thought everything we had was for fun. Yes, I loved him with everything in me, but he never showed me how much he loved me. He did show me, but I thought he was just obsessed with me because of the sex. I never thought it was something serious.

“We’ve been together for so many years, I’ve been nursing feelings for you for so many years and you’re dumping me for him now? Who does that?” He yell with so much pain in his voice as tears well up in his eyes. For the first time in these years, I get to see the other side of Samir. He has always been someone strong and nothing ever weighs him down. He has never shown his weakness to the world, and now he’s showing it to me.

“But… but you… you never told me…” I stutter almost in a whisper, but loud enough for him to hear me. I slowly turn my face away as I suddenly feel my head spinning. This shit is not happening, please this shouldn’t be happening. There’s no way in hell this is happening! Three young men in love with me? How did I arrive here? I mean how did my life become such a mess?

“Wasn’t it obvious enough? Look at me… come back with me to Mexico and we’ll be together happily. I know you love me, I felt it… you have always shown me how much you loved me. Yes, it’s my fault for not telling you earlier, and I’m sorry about that. But… but we can still correct it, right?” He cup my cheeks while staring into my eyes and my mouth drop open. I think I’m losing my mind…
