Treachery Affair

It’s finally the day I’m returning back home, and I’m so excited that I’m going to see Harley after a few days of being away from her. I’ve missed her so much, and I can’t wait to have her in my arms and kiss her so deep. That’s crazy, but that’s what I want to do to her.

“Everything is packed up already. Our flight is taking off in an hour, and we have to be at the airport in less than forty minutes,” Alex walk in on me, fixing his wristwatch. We both are all dressed and ready to leave. I take a last glance at my reflection in the mirror before I finally exit the room with Alex trailing behind me.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Have you send words to the boys?” I ask as I walk briskly along the hallway.

“Yes, I have. They’re at it already,” He reply me and I nod. Over these few months, I’ve had so much to deal with. Trying to clear the mess from the police station and everything. Our goods were almost seized a couple of weeks ago, but thank goodness that I have someone that helped me clear the mess and fixed everything. Talking about Richmond, I’ve had one of my men watch him secretly, and as far as I know, he just resigned being an undercover detective yesterday. He’s off my neck now, so I don’t think there’s any reason to get rid of him again. If he tries to investigate me in the future, I may have to change my mind and strike him.

We arrive the airport in less than twenty minutes and after almost thirty minutes of waiting, we finally board the airplane and soon it took off.

The flight is stressful and boring as I only have my phone as my companion. My annoying friend have been sleeping for hours now and he doesn’t seem like he’s going to wake up anytime soon. I can’t wait to get to Russia and finally rest.

After hours of being in the air, the airplane finally land in the airport and he home from there. I can’t wait to see Harley. I’ve missed her so much. The drive home is long and tiring, and we finally arrive after what seem like forever.

“Where’s Harley?” I ask the driver that came to pick us up. I don’t usually do this, but I’m just anxious and excited that I’m going to see her.

“I have no idea, Sir,” I quickly walk away. Rushing to her room, I place a knock on her door but got no answer and I pull a puzzled look. I knock for a few times and when I get no reply, I push the door open and the empty room welcomes me. She’s not in her room.

“Babe… Harley… babe…” I call repeatedly, going to the balcony to check but she’s not there either. Where’s she? I open the bathroom door to check her in there, but she’s not there either.

After looking for her in the house for a couple of minutes, I finally decide to call her. I dialed her number for a couple of times, but her phone remain unreachable. What’s going on?…

Harley Quinn

Tears slid down my cheeks as I lean on the bridge rail and stare into the running water under the bridge. Samir’s words keep replaying in my head.

‘For the past few years, I have been waiting for the day you would ask me this. I have been waiting for the day you would grow up and fight for late family, the day you would bring justice to the death of everyone that were snatched away from you, and now I am happy that you’re ready to fight’ He had said to me while looking at me with so much intense. The look on his face showed that he was hiding something from me, his expression explained to me that he knew something.

I slowly stare at the picture in my hand and my heart tighten in pain. For many years, I’ve been living as another person, I’ve been carrying another face around thinking that it’s my face, not knowing that the real me is the lady in the picture now. After the fire outbreak that day, according to Samir, he was able to save me through the backdoor. According to his narration, he was also a guest at the party. After he picked me that day, I spent three weeks in the hospital unconscious before I finally responded to treatment. In a bid to save me from the people that must’ve done that and because my face was already damaged, he asked the doctor to do surgery on me and give me someone else’s face.

For the past years, I carried the memories of my past inside me, but I lost the memory of what I looked like. Staring at the lady in the picture, I finally know what I looked like. More tears slid down my cheeks as I tighten my fist around the picture and squeeze it in my hand with so much pain flooding me.

Now that I remember, my name was changed too. My real name, according to Samir, is Alexa. Alexa is my name.

‘You have to come with me, Harley. You’re not safe here’ those are the words he said to me. I asked him why, but he never explained to me. Something keeps telling me that he knows something but he doesn’t want to tell me.

‘Alexa died in the fire outbreak, and Harley was born after then. Harley will avenge the death of Alexa and I’ll make sure that I don’t stop, not until I find them all and bring them down. For the blood of Alexa, for the blood of my innocent family and friend, I will make sure that whoever was responsible for that, pays dearly for it.

“I’ll avenge you, Alexa. Goodbye,” A drop of tears slid down my cheeks as I release the picture and it flies down the bridge until it touches the water. I watch as it floats on the water and slowly swims away. I am saying goodbye to the old Alexa I never knew existed, and now is time for Harley to avenge…
