Chapter 42
Tears keep flooding down his cheeks as he watch the video play in front of him. It’s a video of Jay and the other members of the group. They’re there, planning on how to bring Richmond down. His heart tighten in pain as their words keep hitting him hard like a rock. Thinking of how he was fooled by her and everything, hurts him deeply. The thought of it keep tearing his heart into pieces and making his blood boil in rage. All he ever did was love her, little did he know that she has always been a devil.
The thought of how they met replay in his mind and he slowly tighten his grip on the duvet as though a knife is being used to rip off his skin alive. The look on her face that day, how weak she was that day, he could never have thought that she has never been up to any good. He found a girl being hurt and decided to step in and helped her, but who would’ve ever thought that it was all a set up? Who would’ve ever thought that he of all people would’ve fall for something like this?
‘How can you bring a stranger into your house, Richie?’ ‘This lady might be a spy, who knows? You have to think straight, man’ Craig’s words some months ago keep replaying in his head as he throw his head back in regret, crying his eyes out like he lost someone very important to him. Now he regret not listening to his friend, now he regret allowing himself fall so deeply in love with her in the first place, but then, it wasn’t his fault that he fell for her, right? It wasn’t his fault that his heart chose to fall in love with a traitor of all people, right? He fell in love with a liar that couldn’t even tell him her real name.
Hatred spur through him as he slowly grit his teeth, glaring hard at the screen of the laptop where the video is still playing. Now thinking about Jayden, who would’ve ever thought that the criminal that have been taunting the city for so long, is the person that’s respected in the society.
For some time, he think of handing everything over to the police, but then something keep telling him not to do something like that. He thought of confronting her, but knowing it won’t be the best decision to make, he decided against it.
“I’ll make you pay for everything, Harley! You’ll pay for the pain I’m going through now, you’ll pay for doing this to me. You’ll pay for my heart that you’ve broken beyond repair,” He mumble in between gritted teeth as he stares into space…
Jayden Clinton
I’ve never give a shit about relationship, but this time it’s really different and the feeling is so great. I don’t regret a bit figuring my feeling for Harley. She’s the dream woman I’ve always wanted but didn’t know about it. Having her in my life have given me this feeling of security that I enjoy so much. She has been the reason behind my smiles.
While growing up, I’ve never thought of having a girlfriend because fuck that! It’s not my thing. I’ve always seen relationship as a big distraction, so I never bothered getting into one. I’ve never had a girlfriend all my life, so Harley is the first girl I’ve ever fallen in love with. At least that’s what Alex told me. When I explained how I feel to him, he told me that I’m deeply in love with her. Wondering how possible it is that I never had a girlfriend? Well, it’s very possible. For someone who doesn’t believe in the existence of love and who doesn’t want to get distracted, having a girlfriend never crossed my mind. Although I have girls that’re always ready to serve me sex on the table whenever I want it, and trust me, I’m always down for it. What do you expect from someone so hot and the dream of every girl?
I’ve been in a meeting with some of my clients for the past one hour and we’re just rounding things up now. I’ve missed Harley so much and I can’t just wait to get back home and have her n my arms again.
“That’s all for today,” I finally exit the conference hall and head back to my office.
“Get me the schedule for the week,” I say to my secretary while walking to my office and not sparing her a glance. She has been giving me a green light from the moment she stepped into my company, but trust me, I have my preference and too bad that she’s not my type. There’s no way in hell I would fuck my secretary, that’s not my thing. Other people may be doing it, but definitely not me. The only reason I haven’t sacked her yet, is because of her hard work and dedication. She has also added to the growth of the company, so that’s the only thing she’s benefitting from. Else, she would’ve been gone for so long.
I stride to my seat as soon as I walk into the office and I resume my work. The knock on the door a few minutes later pull my attention and with my gaze still fix on the screen of the desktop, I usher whoever it is, in.
“Sir, someone is here to see you,” That’s my secretary’s voice. I raise my head to find her standing there with an expectant look on her face.
I pull a puzzled look and stare at for the next few seconds before I finally ask her to send the person in. I’m just confused because I’m not expecting anyone today. It can’t possibly be Harley, right?
She stride to the door and pull it open, giving whoever it is, a signal to come inside while I anticipate. The person finally walk inside, and my eyes darkens at the sight I behold. It’s Samir! What’s he doing here?…
