REVENGE GIRL

Three months on…

Jayden Clinton

I won the court trial and I now have my company back, all thanks to Alex. It was all Richmond’s doings, I would’ve taught him a lesson by now to never mess with my kind of person, but I let him be for the sake of Harley. Well, I found out lately that he has connection with the Williams family, so no matter how angry I am at him, I shouldn’t think of hurting him.

Everything is back to their places now, but the only thing that’s still missing is Harley and my child. She must’ve given birth by now.

It has been almost six months already, and I still haven’t heard from her. My life have been a mess all these time, I have searched everywhere in Russia in a bid to find her, but it seems like she’s not in the country. I have asked some of my men across the country to search everywhere for her too, but they keep telling me the same thing that they haven’t still gotten a glimpse of her.

Standing at the balcony of my office and staring at the bright sky, a drop of tears slid down my cheeks. I have tried to accept my fate and move on with my life, but it’s just not working. My mind keeps telling me that some things are better left the way it is, some things happens for a reason, which I’m sure of, but it’s difficult to accept this fate of mine and act like it’s fine. It’s killing me already, it’s driving me to the edge of craziness and I can’t take this anymore.

The footsteps drawing closer behind me pulls my attention and I sigh softly, knowing who it is. It’s Alex. He hasn’t relent from trying to find Harley, he has been helping me a lot. I wonder what would’ve become of me if he never existed in my life.

“Jay…” I turn around to face him. He’s holding his phone in his hand.

“Hey… what’s up?” I asks him.

“I found something important. We should discuss it in your office,” he says and I nod for him to go ahead, while I trail behind him.

We’re both now sitting in my office, and he already plugged a flash drive to the laptop, and we wait patiently for it to start working. Minutes later, a video starts playing on the screen. It’s a video of me walking along the hallway of a strange building that I’m yet to grab where it is. Seconds later, everything became clear to me. It’s the footage of years ago at Mr Williams house. This is exactly what happened that day, everything is playing right in front of me as if it’s just happening.

That day, when I stepped into the building, the party has already started. I recall that I noticed some strange movement and I quickly followed it up to find out what it was about. I had spotted someone setting a bomb in the house. After trying for so long, I was able to diffuse the bomb, but I didn’t know that it wasn’t just one.

When the second one exploded, I managed to save only Alexa from the burning building, but I passed out just when I stepped out of the building, and I woke up later on a hospital bed. I received the sad news of my life when I woke up. Alexa and her whole family died.

“I was able to get the CCTV footage of the incident that day. The house has been left haunted since then, and no one cared to check it out. I’ve been going there in order to find something useful, but it has been in vein. Yesterday night was going to be my last day there, but someone showed up and gave this to me…” He says, and I pull a puzzled look. Who could’ve done that?

“I have no idea who the person was. His identity was concealed, so it was difficult to tell who he was,” he further says, and I sighs softly. This can only mean one thing, the person that gave him the drive must be someone that knows me very well. And that means that he knows about the other version of the footage.

“Alex, you need to find the man. I need to ask him some questions,” I say to him, standing up to my feet.

“I will try to find him,” he replies to me. He stands up and ambles out of my office. He needs to find the man, no matter how difficult it is. He’s the only answer to all my questions. He’s the only one that can help me prove my innocence to Harley. But how do I find Harley?…

I still can’t believe that all my efforts all these time ended up in vain. Jayden won the court trial and it was like I tried to frame him. It’s really sad that happened. However, I have been thinking of something. It’s about that Samir guy. Why did he ask for the evidence against Jayden? Why was he so desperate? Those are the questions that I keep asking myself all these while, but I can’t come up with anything reasonable. There’s more to know about him than I know.

Judging from the conversation he had with Harley, I know that he’s up to something.

I have been in the office since morning, but it’s difficult to focus on work. My head has been stocked with so many thoughts that I can’t even think straight right now. I think I’m losing my mind already.

The sound of my ringing phone pulls my attention and I sigh softly, reaching out to it. Seeing a strange number displaying on the screen, I hesitate for a while before I finally swipe the answer button.

“Hello, Richmond here,” I say as soon as I answer the call.

“Let’s meet. I’ll send you the address and the time,” a familiar voice sounds from the other end and the call ends immediately…
