REVENGE GIRL

He stares at the screen of the iPad placed in front of him as tears trickles down his cheeks. As the seconds slowly ticks, he feels his grieve and doom drawing close to him. The image of his mom and his son burning in that room, the image of them screaming in horror and pain, keeps popping up in his head, and he can only cry helplessly. Even if it’s not the right the thing to do, he would’ve given the evidence to him if it were to be with him, but he haf given it to the cops and now he’s just going to have to watch his family die before his very eyes. He wish he can protect them, but that’s not something he can even think of, knowing that there’s no way he can do that.

“You can take my life instead, please don’t hurt them…” He pleads with him, but he only chuckles softly, not even sparing him a glance.

“You wouldn’t still be alive by now, if it was your life I wanted. And you don’t tell me what to do. By saying this, you’re already refusing to give me the evidence…”

“I don’t have it with me. Yes, I know it’s not the right thing to do, but at this point I wouldn’t still be keeping it knowing that you’ll hurt them. Please I’m begging you, don’t hurt them… Just take my life instead…” He cries bitterly.

“Too bad that those tears doesn’t move me a bit. You think I’m foolish? No I’m not stupid, Richmond. If you’re not going to comply with me, then just watch me kill your mom and your beloved son…” He says sarcastically, and he clenches his fists slowly behind him.

Silence crowds the room as the time slowly ticks. The more the time draws close, the scarier he becomes. He keeps gulping down nothing every seconds as his heart races faster and rapidly.

It’s finally an hour already, and he hasn’t said a word, neither did Richmond talk too. He’s just crying his eyes out and waiting for miracle to happen.

As if the time took an extra speed, it’s already two and a half hours and it’s just a few minutes to his doom, and yet he can’t do anything about it.

“You have fifteen minutes…” He glances at his wrist watch.

“I don’t have it, please…”

“Ten minutes…” The door suddenly burst opens and he freeze on the spot at the sight he beholds. There is Harley, dress in a black short gown and a pair of black hills. She’s carrying a baby in her arms.

“Don’t hurt anyone, Samir…” Richmond gasps sharply as his eyes widens in shock. He runs his eyes through her body and they finally lock with her eyes. She quickly avert her gaze to Samir.

“Har… Harley…” He whispers to be sure his eyes aren’t deceiving him, but he’s right. She’s the one, Harley is standing there in flesh and blood, looking as dashing as always.

“What are you doing here?” Samir finally asks her as waves of anger sparks through him.

“Let’s talk…” She glances at Richmond one more time before she finally strides out of the dark room, while Samir trails behind her.

They both strides along the hallway until they finally get to the balcony of the building, and Harley stops abruptly. She turns around to face Samir, who has already stopped behind her.

“Don’t try to drag anyone into this mess. Hurting Richmond is the same as hurting me. If you dare to hurt his son, just know that we’ll become enemies for the rest of our lives, and I swear I won’t let you off,” she threatens, and Samir scoffs.

“And why is he so important…”

“Richmond is my late sister’s husband, and his son… he’s my nephew. I’m sure you won’t want to get on my bad side. Jayden is the one at fault, he is the one you should be directing all your anger on, and if there’s anyone that needs to be dragged into this, it shouldn’t be Richmond!” She yells angrily. She has been trying to tolerate him for so long, but he keeps pushing her to the edge, he keeps pushing her beyond tolerance and it’s already driving her crazy.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“I wouldn’t have involved him, if only you’re willing to do the right thing! Since you don’t want to do what is right, I have decided to it my own way and don’t you dare try to stand in my way!” Samir fires back at her, and she scoffs.

“And when has killing my own child becomes the right thing to do? When has hurting the child I brought into this world, to pay up for his father’s sin, the right thing to do? Why don’t you come out clean, Samir? This was entirely your fault in the first place. What was your plan when you sent me to work for Jayden, knowing that he had hands in the death of my family? What was your intention of doing that? If you have anything against Jayden, why do you think using me to get what you want is the best you can do?” She yells as tears finds their way out of her eyes.

“Why are you doing this? Why are you hiding behind the shadow of what Jayden did? Is it because of the vengeance you’re doing this, or because you want him out of the way so he won’t be an obstacle to you getting me? Why don’t you come out clean?” She yells angrily again.

“So what? What if that’s the case? Why does it always have to be him? After all the years I’ve spent with you, why did you still choose him over me?” He yells back at her, and she scoffs.

“You dare to blame me, do you? Five years… for five good years, I nurtured feelings for you. I showed you how much I loved you, but you never cared to know… You never cared to look at me. All you cared about what was the sex! That was all that ever mattered to you. I thought that one day you would realize how I felt and maybe you’ll learn to love me in return, but that never happened! And just when I fell in love with someone else, you came from nowhere and suddenly realized that you’ve been in love with me? Am I a joke to you?” She cries bitterly, daring him with her gaze.

“Why don’t you spell it out that you want Jayden out of the picture because of your self interest and not because of what happened?” She yells again, and he scoffs.

“That is what I want, Harley. And you must do it…” He turns around and starts walking away.

“I’ll do what you want, but you’ll have to let Richmond and his family go,” he stops abruptly…
