Chapter 57
Samir’s apartment…
Ever since after the incident, he still hasn’t returned to Mexico. After Samir found out that Jayden was able to escape from the cops, he has been sending his men secretly to monitor his mansion to see if he could get the new location of Jayden. He had also tried tracking his location, but it never worked.
Standing in the balcony of his room and staring at the bright sky, anger spurs through him as many thoughts conflicts in his mind. He wasn’t expecting things to turn out this way, he thought Harley would come running to him as soon as she learn the truth, he thought she would seek his help to bring Jayden down, and all these while he had been waiting for her to come crawling down to him and begging him, but sadly she never showed up.
He releases a deep sigh, tucking his hands into his pockets while gritting his teeth. He is never going to give up, never! He owns her, and will surely bring her back to himself, no matter what it takes him. Even if it means that he’ll have to take lives for it…
Six months on…
The past three months have been hell for Harley. Taking care of Jayden, herself and the unborn child have been one hell of a job for her. Alex and Alice have been of help too.
Jayden’s company have been closed temporary because of what happened, and things has been difficult for them. Lately, Alex was able to get a doctor from Spain, who has been treating Jayden and he’s responding to treatment rapidly.
It’s cold in the evening and Jayden is in the living room with Harley as they both watch movie together. He’s still confine on a wheelchair as his bones are still weak. He has completely transformed into another person. He’s almost bald.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
The sudden sound of Harley’s ringing phone pulls her attention from the TV, and she reaches out to her phone. There’s a strange number displaying on the screen of her phone. She hesitates for some seconds before she finally reaches out to the phone. Of course, she’s confused who was calling her, since she didn’t give her number out to anyone. She changed her phone and number as soon as she moved into the house and ever since she got another phone, she hasn’t given his number out to anyone, except Alice and Alex that has his number.
She finally swipes the answer button.
“Long time no see, Harley Quinn…” She freezes on the spot as that masculine voice sends chills down her spine. That’s the voice she will never fail to recognize even in her deep sleep. It’s Samir’s voice.
Slowly, she brings the phone down from her ear and check the screen again to be sure that she isn’t dreaming. And of course, she’s not. It’s really him calling.
She glances over at Jayden, who isn’t paying attention to her, but has all his attention on the TV. She quietly stands up and strides out of the living room.
“It has been a while, Harley…” His sarcastic voice sounds from the other end and her heart miss a beat. She gulps down the lump in her throat as she suddenly feels her racing rapidly.
“Why are you calling me?” She finally finds her voice and asks him, trying so hard to cover up her nervousness.
“You think you can run away from me, yeah? Well, sorry to disappoint you. But I am your shadow, and we can never be apart,” his voice sounds scary and commanding.
“What do you want?” She whispers scream angrily.
“You!” His voice thunders from the other end, and she bit her bottom lip. She thought that he had given up on her, she thought that he would never disturb her again, but turns out that she has been mistaking all along.
“Aren’t you an ungrateful bitch? After everything I have done for you, you think you can outrun me and betray me, just like that? It won’t work, Harley. Have you forgotten what Jayden did to you? Have you forgotten the pain you went through all these years and now you want to become a slave to your emotion?” His deep voice sends another chilled sensation down her spine, and she gulps down nothing.
“Because of him, you’ve become someone else. Because of him, you lost everyone that are important to you. Because of him… you lost the trust of your late parents and I’m sure that they’re mad at you wherever they are now. Even if you have forgotten about everything that happened, I won’t spare him, Harley. You can hide for as much as you want to, but it’ll only take a few day… Just a few days and he will be put behind bars for the rest of his life, where he belongs. He will regret ever crossing path with me, he will regret ever trying to take you away from me, he will regret ever thinking of betraying me…” the call ends immediately and her hand slowly falls beside her as pool of tears streams down her cheeks.
What if her parents are really mad at her wherever they are? Is she doing the right thing, still loving the man that hurt her so badly and took away everything that mattered to her? Will she not regret this later? Those are the questions that keeps lingering in her mind without answer. She takes a deep breath and wipes her tears before she finally turns around and walks back into the house, but stops abruptly at the sight she beholds. Jayden is right there on his feet, having a dangerous look on his face.
Her mouth drops open in shock as she stares at him for the next two minutes, trying to pull from the shock. Isn’t this the same man that have been on the wheelchair for months and have never walked? Isn’t this the same man she had been wheeling around the house? How come he’s standing on his two feet?
“You! You poisoned me?” His eyes darkens as he thunders those words, and she freezes on the spot…
