REVENGE GIRL

It’s night already. The wind blow gently on the flowers in the garden, moving them slowly. Samir is leaning against the only tall tree in the garden, while staring at the pink lotus flowers. He has so much running through his mind.

Anger spur through him as the incident of earlier replay in his head again. All these while that he has been with Harley, he never bothered to confess his feelings to her, thinking that she’ll never leave his sight, he thought she’ll always be beside him and no man would ever take her away, but it seems like he has just been receiving himself all along. The biggest mistake he made was letting her go work with the person he called friend that have now end up betraying him by taking the only woman he ever loved.

The sound of the footsteps drawing closer in the dark, get his attention and he slowly tilt his head to see a man dress in black outfit with his face masked and a face cap to cover his face.

“Boss…” The masked man pay obeisance to him and he only nod.

“I’ve got everything under control, boss,” The young man say in a respectful tone. For the next few seconds, an awkward silence assume the air. And after what seem like forever, he finally speak up.

“Where’s it?” He ask and the masked man hand him a parcel.

“Good job,” A smirk lace up his lips as he stare down at the parcel in his hand.

“You may leave,” He say to the man who walk away into the darkness immediately.

“Now, let the game begin. You’re mine, Harley and no one can ever take you away from me,” He whispers into the air and take out a box of cigarettes from his pocket…

Richmond Hill

Life hasn’t been easy for me ever since Cassie left. Well, I was thinking that she’ll come back maybe to check up on Nelson, but she never did that. Maybe she never really cared about us. We all have been trying to be fine, but it’s not really easy to move on.

Mom was diagnosed of kidney infection three weeks ago and she has been hospitalized, Nelson has also been sick too. He won’t stop asking for his mommy and it keeps hurting him. I wish he can be back to that cheerful little boy he was a couple of months ago.

I’ve had a hectic day at the restaurant today and taking care of my sick mom and son is really something else. It’s a good thing my cousin is around to help me out, I don’t know what would’ve happened without her around.

I’ve been investigating about my late wife’s death lately, but I still haven’t gotten the useful informations yet. Hoping to get one soon. I’ve hired private investigators too to help me out with this, and they’re yet to give me feedback.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Driving to the hospital after a long day at work, I stop at a mall to get some snacks for Nelson, since he had refused to eat something lately. The interior of the mall welcomes me as soon as I step in. The sight of the numerous eye catching things sparks my taste and soon, I start with shopping. It’s fun shopping here, and I think it won’t be a bad idea to bring Nelson here one of these days and see if he’ll like it here.

“I’m done,” I push the trolley to the reception as soon as I’m done with buying the things.

“Alright, wait a minute, please,” The female receptionist say to me and turn her attention away from me. For the next few minutes, I stand on the spot and waiting for her to get back to me so I can leave here already.

The sound of my ringing phone pull my attention and bringing it out of my pocket, I sigh upon seeing the caller. It’s Craig. What does he want now? We talked over the phone barely an hour ago, which was before I left the office. What can he probably be calling me for?

“Hello, what’s it again?” I ask frustratingly as soon as I pick the call.

“I’m sending you an address now, meet me there,” He sound so urgent. The call end immediately and in the next seconds, a message pop on the screen of my phone. Turns out that it’s the restaurant right next to the mall here. I wonder what could be the problem that made him sounded so urgent.

“Here Sir,” The receptionist’s voice pull back my attention and turning to look at her, I find her handing two shopping bags to me. Wow! I came here to get just a snack as per Nelson’s order, but it seems like I’ve buy the whole mall now. I guess that’s what happens when a mall have all your tastes in it.

“Thank you,” I finally rush out of the mall and head straight to the car, not after I pay for the things I bought. Since the address Craig sent to me is close by, I drive hurriedly to the place. I rush into the restaurant as soon as I get to the entrance door; and there he is, sitting at the far end. He doesn’t look like something is wrong with him, so how come he sounded like that over the phone?

“Craig…” I stride down to where he’s sitting and I make myself comfortable on the chair across him.

“You’re finally here. There’s something you need to know,” The look on his face tells me that there’s something that I really need to know. He look like he has just seen a ghost.

“What’s going on?” I ask confusingly and he drop a file on the table, raising his gaze to look at me afterwards.

I stare at him questioningly for a few seconds before I finally reach out for the file and pick it up. I open it and the sight I behold make me freeze on the spot. There’s a picture of Cassie the popular business man, Jayden Clinton. The fact that they’re together in the picture is not what alarm me, but the custom they’re wearing. I’ve seen it somewhere before… yes, they’re the same custom those drug smugglers haunting the city wears. Wait! What’s happening here?

“Wh… what’s this?” I manage to ask after a long silence.

“I told you she’s not to be trusted. There’s a drive in there, it’ll answer all the questions you may want to ask me,” He further say and my hands slowly tighten around the file as they tremble…
