Treachery Affair

Harley Quinn

It’s been one week since I have been discharged from the hospital, and all these days hasn’t been easy for me. The news of the pregnancy came as a shock to me and until now, it is still hard to believe that I have an infant growing inside me. A drop of tears slid down my cheeks as I stare at my reflection in the mirror, while rubbing my flat stomach. It’s still not obvious that there’s something inside me, but I know it’ll only take a few months to finally be obvious.

Kids are blessings from God and people should be happy to receive the blessing, but my case is not like that. I am so sad and pained that my life had to turn out this way. The forbidden affair I had, have finally yield the forbidden fruit that should never have existed and the thought of it hurts a lot and deeply.

“Will you forgive me, mom? Will you ever forgive me for this mistake wherever you are, dad? What about you, Emily? Will you forgive your little sister for trying to hurt your husband?” Those are the questions that have been running through my mind with each day that passes by. I hate that I have to live like this… I hate that my life turned out this way, but then I have to change my fate. At first, I thought of getting rid of the baby, as the thoughts of it keeps reminding me of what I had with Jayden, but then I can’t bring myself to hurt an innocent child that is just trying to come to this world. Jayden is the one I have problem with, he’s the monster that needs to be thrown to the pit of hell where he belongs, and not the baby. I will never hurt my child, but to me, Jay is dead and will forever be dead to me, until I finally send him to the pit of hell. Giving him an easy death is the last thing on my mind.

“Jay… be ready for me. Trust me, you’re going to feel so much pain. I’ll make sure that I let the sea have its way with you, and smile as I watch you drown while you cry out and beg, not for mercy, but for death. I’ll make sure that your cries are heard across the walls of the city. I’ll make your death a memorable one and a lesson to you, that you should never mess with me,” a drop of tears slid down my cheeks. For all the pains I’ve been through, he will pay.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The knock on the door pull my attention and I sigh softly, wiping the tears off my cheeks. After we left the hospital, Jay have been so nice as usual and he has been trying to be the best man anyone can dream of having. Of course, I would’ve been moved to love him even more, but his hatred only increases in my heart and I wish he can just die. Even if I want him dead, it can’t be so sudden.

Pulling the door open, I find him standing there, holding a tray of food. He smile as soon as he spot me.

“I brought you food…” I leave the door open for him and walk over to sit on the bed.

“Drop it on the table,” I crash on the bed tiredly. A lot of questions have been running through my mind that needs to be clarified. Something keeps telling me that there’s more to what he told me about Richmond, something keeps telling me that he wants to kill him because of something else, and not exactly what he told me.

“Are you fine with us hanging out later?” He tries to touch me, but I shift back and he sigh, dropping his hand beside him.

“You’ve been acting weird lately. You haven’t even allowed me make skin contact with you and you’ve been keeping me at arms length. What’s happening?” He asks sadly.

“Nothing. I’ve just been stressed out lately and still needs sometime to heal,” I try to sound as convincing as possible. He stares at me suspiciously for some time before he finally shrugs.

“Alright. Don’t think too much, OK? I don’t know what’s happening with you, but I’ll be here to help you out, if you need my help. I’ll be leaving for work now,” he smile at me, but behind that smile, I can see that he’s not happy nor convinced with my answer, but who cares what he thinks or how he feels?

He finally turn and stride out of the room.

I think I need to see Richmond…

Richmond Hill

For the past one week, I’ve been following Jayden Clinton secretly, and I think I’m yet to gather enough information about him. I haven’t seen him with Harley in person.

Talking about Harley, I’ve missed her so much, I can’t deny the fact that I still love her with everything in me, but she betrayed me. She stole my heart and left it broken. I’ve been going through hard times, trying to fit in my new lifestyle. My mom is still in the hospital and from what the doctor told me, she’s going to having surgery. Nelson is with my cousin after he was discharged from the hospital, while I have been busy taking care of my restaurant and also investigating this crime. Craig have been of great help to me.

Reaching out to my phone, I unlock it and click on the ‘photo’ icon. The pictures in my gallery display on the screen, and I click on Harley’s. That day, we all had gone out together and it was so fun. I took an unaware picture of her, and it’s so beautiful. Looking at her natural smile, a drop of tears slide down my cheeks as my heart wrench in pain. I miss her so much, I can’t deny that. I know she betrayed me, but I just want to see her even if it’s just once. I want to hold her in my arms and never let her go. I need to know why she had to lie to me, why she had to steal my heart, knowing that she was never real.

“Richmond…” The familiar voice that calls my names makes me freeze. Slowly raising my gaze to confirm where the voice came from, my eyes lock with hers. Standing before me now in my living room, is Harley. She’s in tears.

Wait! Is this my imagination or reality?…
