Treachery Affair

He sits in his room while staring into space. His eyes conveys nothing, but rage. He put the stick of tobacco in his mouth and breath in, puffing the smoke out of his mouth after he remove it from his mouth. Her words keep replaying in his head as he stares dangerously into space, and it hurts him. The thought of it makes him so angry that he wants to devour and get him and his family out of the picture.

The knock on the door pulls his attention, and he glance at the closed door.

“Alex,” Alex’s voice sounds from outside and his silence ushers him in. Alex walks in and as soon as he sights Jayden in such mood, he suspects that something must be wrong somewhere, but he has no idea what the problem might be.

“You sent for me,” Alex announces his presence.

“Bring Harley back here tonight and cancel her mission,” He instructs and Alex pull a puzzled look. Of course, he wasn’t expecting him to ask for something like that to happen, knowing how much this mission meant to him.

“But…”

“Just do as I said and don’t you dare question my decision,” He yells angrily, springing to his feet as he boils in rage.

“As you wish,” Alex turns around and exits the room.

He sits back on the bed and stares into space as a smirk lace up his lips.

“Wait for me, Harley. You’re mine,” His deep voice echoes in the room in a mutter…

Harley Quinn

After the tour with Nelson, we both take a cab home. The drive home is smooth and less noisy, since my little boy doesn’t talk. The image of Jayden pop up in my head and I socff as his words echoes in my head. How could he have been so heartless to think of taking this innocent boy’s life, huh? I’m thinking he grew up without a family, that’s why he must’ve been so heartless or maybe he doesn’t plan to have kids in the future.

“We’re here, ma’am,” The cabby’s voice pulls me back to reality and that’s when I realize that he’s already in front of the house. I step out of the car with Nelson and pay the driver before we head back into the house.

“You’re finally here. I’ve been so worried about you. I’ve called you several times but you never picked up,” Auntie breaths out as soon as we step into the house.

“I’m sorry, my phone was on silent mode. Nelson, come let me go bath you before we have lunch,” I hold his hand and lead him to my room. I bath him and rub my cream on his body. I stopped by his room to get some of his clothes, so I just wear them for him. I walk back into the bathroom and have my bath.

Standing before the mirror and staring at my reflection, tears trickle down my cheeks as the thought of the past hovers over my mind. The past hurts, but I’m building myself to finally be able to face it and get my revenge.

Wondering what is it about my past? Well, it all happened five years ago. We were this loving and happy family that lived together in peace and harmony. My dad was one of the richest men in town and owned many companies in his name. We were just two children he had, my sister and I. Although my mother used to tell us that he had a son before he had me, but he died a few months after he was given birth to. I always wished that my brother was alive, I always imagined how he would’ve protected me if he were to be alive, but death snatched him away from us.

Dad was the best father anyone would pray to have, mom though she was crazy, but she was everything you’d want in a mom. They both made sure that they gave us all the happiness in the world. We were living just fine, not until that wicked and evil Saturday night that snatched everything that was dear to me, that Saturday that changed me to who I am today, that Saturday that took away all my loved ones and left me stranded in the wicked world.

That night was supposed to be a dinner part hosted by my dad to welcome and strengthen the bonds between him and his clients. However, the supposed dinner party turned into a battlefield. Mom, dad and my only sister were killed in the sudden fire outbreak that has no root until now. After the fire outbreak, I woke up later in a strange place, which happened to be in Samir’s den. That was how my whole life changed. For many years, I have cried all night and think of my family, I have missed them so much and wish that they can come back to me, but that’s the dream that’ll never come true, right?

For over four years, I’ve been trying to investigate and get the people that did that to me, but I still haven’t gotten any clue. A part of me always tries to convince me that it was a fire outbreak that was caused as a result of accident, but the other part of me doesn’t want to believe that. Something keeps telling me that there’s more to the explosion than everyone else knows.

“Mom, are you OK?” The faint bang on the door pulls me back to reality, and that’s when I realize that I have been standing in the bathroom.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Yes, son. I’ll be there now,” I shout for him to hear. After I have my bath, I step back into the room. Nelson is sitting on the edge of the bed and waiting for me. He smiles widely as soon as he sights me. Seeing the innocent smile on his face, how can I possibly think of hurting the little boy, when I’m not a monster?

After I’m done getting dressed, I leave the room with Nelson and head downstairs to have dinner. We take our time and after we’re finally done, I put him to sleep and retire to my room.

I push the door to my room open and walk inside before closing it. I turn to go to the bed, but stop abruptly at the sight I behold. There’s a man dress in black leather pant and jacket with a big cloak over his body, his face is covered with the hoodie of the cloak. He’s leaning against the wall close to the door.

“Hi, Harley,” He removes the hoodie from his head and I freeze on the spot…
