REVENGE GIRL

Jayden Clinton

Learning the truth is still a shock to me, even after two months. I have been living in pain, trying to pull through all these while. It hurts to know that the one I trusted and loved the most, is the same person that have made me passed through so much pain all these few months that I almost lost my life. What have I ever done to deserve this from her? Why has she chosen to hurt me so badly, when all I ever did loved her?

After Alex got the doctor from Spain, I started responding to treatment and the poison was somehow neutralized, although it had already caused much damage to my system, but the doctor assured us that I’ll be fine as the time goes on, which will surely take about six or seven months. While I have been battling with my health, Alex have been doing investigations in my mansion, trying to know where the poison came from.

That day, he had come at night after a long day of investigation as usual. I was disturbed about his mood, and when I questioned him why he was like that, he had given me the shocking news of my life. It was a sample of the poison that has been killing me. I was furious and demanded that the culprit should be brought to me immediately. However, I was shocked to the marrow when he told me that he found it in Harley’s room.

I couldn’t bring myself to believe him, not until he showed me more evidence. I saw on the CCTV footage, as she was poisoning my drink. For over three months, I’ve been monitoring her movement and she is so good at what she does. She made sure that she’s not suspected she has been there for me that if not that I saw the evidence with my eyes; I would never have believed Alex.

All these while, I’ve been living pain, having to see her every day disgusts me and I always felt like strangling her to death. Why would she think of killing me? What have I ever done to her that’ll make her want to hurt me so deeply? What wrong have I done to deserve this height of wickedness from her? Those are the questions I have been asking myself as the month passes by, but I still haven’t gotten an answer until now. Yes, I wanted to keep up with this for as long as she keeps pretending, but it hurts deeply. Having to stay under the same roof with her and dealing with this trauma is just too much on me, and I have to open up already.

She freezes on the spot as she walks back into the living room to find me on my feet. All these while, I have recovered, although not completely, but she never had idea about that. She runs her eyes through my body, until our eyes meet and I can see the look of nervousness on her face. Now she’s feeling guilty.

“Why did you do it?” a drop of tears slid down my cheeks as I stare at her questioningly. My heart is full of hatred for her. She betrayed me and destroyed the feelings I had for her, and it hurts deeply.

For the next two minutes, she stares back at me confusingly, not saying a word to me.

“Why did you poison me? Are not going to talk?” I yell at the top of my voice, and I watch as she slowly clenches her fists beside her, while biting her bottom lip. She should explain to me why she did that, I need clarification.

“How much were you paid to do this? Who paid you to do this to me, Harley! Just speak to me already before I lose it, because I’m already losing it.

“Nobody!” she yells back at me as tears trickles down her cheeks. She better not think of confusing me with those tears, because it won’t work this time around.

“What did I ever do to you? Why did you have to be so wicked to do something like this to me? How could you?” I break down in tears.

“Everything, Jayden… you did everything to me and deserve all pain that you have been through! You deserve more!” my eyes widens in shock as my mouth drops open.

“Did you say wicked? When has giving people the taste of their own medicine become wickedness? How could I? It was entirely your fault! You took away everything from me, you turned me into this monster that I am today. Because of you, I had to live as another person all these years, because of you; I lost the important people in my life! Because of you, I am in this mess. And you know what? Falling in love with you and allowing you get in between my legs is what I have been regretting and I will forever live regretting!” she breaks down in tears, while I stare at her confusingly, wondering what she’s talking about. I hope she’s not trying to pull a stunt with me.

“Yes, I poisoned you, so? I wanted to make you feel the pain I have been through all these years, I wanted you to be in so much pain that when you cry, it won’t be for mercy, but death!” my mouth drops open in shock as I stand frozen on the spot.

“Why?” tears trickles down my cheeks as I stare at her weakly. She could’ve just killed me if she so wanted to, right? She could’ve just ended my life instead of doing this to me, right?

“What are you talking about?” I manage to ask her again, and she scoffs. She rushes away and comes back almost immediately with a picture.

“Do you still want to deny it, huh?” she throws the picture at my face and I catch it. Turning it around, I freeze on the spot at the sight I behold. It’s the family of the late Williams. They died in a fire explosion six years ago. I slowly raise my gaze to meet her, still wondering how that got to do with her.

“Because of you, I have to live as another person. You killed Alexa, but she lives in Harley!” she yells at me and I gasp sharply. Now everything is clear to me, Harley is Alexa. But, how come? All the family of Williams died. How come she’s alive? I saw their corpses with my eyes. They died…
