Treachery Affair

Harley POV

Stepping into the gym, I froze on my spot as I beheld the idiot on the treadmill, jogging. Rolling my eyes at no one, I walked in gracefully and soon I started my exercise while minding my business. I can’t wait to be done with this job and get out of here.

“The information has been gathered and will be sent to your email later,” I heard his voice echo in the gym while gazing into space and maintaining a straight face. I wonder if he never gets tired of frowning.

“Hmph!” I hummed sarcastically. After spending hours exercising, we finally moved to the shooting range. After practicing for some time, I finally retired to my room. Stepping into the room, I stripped out of my clothes and hits the shower. After having a long relaxing bath, I dressed casually and slumped on the bed, reaching out to my laptop afterward and switching it on. It’s time for business.

I checked my email to see the information he told me about. Clicking on it, the picture of the man came displaying on the screen and a smirk spread on my lips. Judging from his look, he seems like the tough dude he was described to be, but fuck! No one is ever tough to take down by Harley.

From the information I gathered, he lives in a motel down the street, a poor motel that doesn’t seem suspicious. Well, I was expecting that kind of shifty stuff, but heck! No one can fool Harley, maybe someone would in the future but I don’t think the person has been given birth to yet. Scrolling through the pieces of information, I guess this will help a lot.

After spending almost an hour on the computer, I finally stood up tiredly. Wait! Do these people don’t eat in this mansion? I’ve been here since yesterday and still haven’t tasted anything yet don’t tell me that they’re going to starve me to death? That’s never gonna happen.

The sound of the knock on the door pulled my attention and I rolled my eyes knowing the person won’t be someone else other than Alex. That dude is a pain in the ass. Standing up from the bed, I walked over to the door angrily and pulled it open.

“What’s it this time…” My words were cut in my mouth as I pulled the door open to see a middle-aged woman, standing there with a smile on her face.

“Hi!” I greeted her with a small smile displaying on my lips. I’m not a sadist nor do I smile a lot, but I can’t possibly frown while greeting her, right.

“Good morning, ma’am Tasha. Master Jayden asked to call you downstairs for breakfast,” She said politely and I scoffed. How arrogant can this dude be? How can he order someone old enough to be his mom around in this manner?

“Uhm… alright I’ll be there in a few minutes. And please ma’am, my name is Harley. Just call me that and no formality,” I said, smiling, and with that, I closed the door and went back into the room. Checking out the time, I realized that it was almost 11am. Wow! I can’t believe that I’m going to be having breakfast this late in the morning, well, all thanks to Khalid. If he had not sent me here in the first place, I wouldn’t be going through this now.

Stepping out of the room minutes later, I managed to find my way to the dining, where I met him eating carefully and peacefully. Pulling out a chair, I sat down while the woman from earlier served me. I had told her not to bother that I’d serve myself, but with the devil around, she couldn’t agree to it.

After I was done eating, I finally left the dining and straight to my room not saying a word to him. Stepping into my room, I stripped out of my clothes and walked into the bathroom to have my bath. I spent a few minutes in the bathroom and after I was done I sat before the mirror and stared at my image. Memories of Samir came flashing in my mind and I couldn’t help the smile that settled on my lips. No doubt, I’ve missed him a lot, and I can’t wait to leave this place so I can get to see him again.

The sound of my ringing phone pulled me back to reality and glancing at the screen, turns out that it was Nina that was calling me.

“Hey girl, what’s up?” I said as soon as I picked up the call.

“Hey girl, I’m good. How’s life over there? It’s just been a day since you left and it feels like years. I’m missing you so much,” She whined and I rolled my eyes at nothing. I know she misses me and I miss them all more.

“Life here is horrible. I’ve been here for just less than two days and I’m already feeling like I’m in hell. I wonder why Samir had to send me here of all places. The dude is one hell of an arrogant bastard. I can’t wait to be out of here,” I groaned angrily, throwing my head back.

“Don’t get yourself into trouble young lady, I heard that he’s tough. What if he mistakenly hears you and…”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“I don’t care, he should hear me and send me away from here. You won’t believe that I haven’t rested for the past hours that I’ve been here.” I ruffled my hair, and I heard her chuckle softly. She’s annoying.

“Calm down. You should be happy that you’re there, I heard that nobody knows what he looks like, at least you’d get the chance to see his face. Tell me, what does he look like? Is he handsome?” She asked, and I ticked my tongue, and rolled my eyes.

“Oh please! He looks horrible. He’s disgusting from outside and inside, you won’t be able to stand him, girl. He’s nothing, compared to my Samir,” I said truthfully and I heard her chuckled.

“I forgot to tell you that making calls here isn’t allowed,” I heard a familiar voice that I’d always recognized even in my dream, and I froze in my seat. What the heck is he doing here, and when did he get in here?…
