Chapter 60
Jayden Clinton
It has been one month already, and I still haven’t heard from Harley since then. I know she hates me now, but she could’ve at least let me hear from her, right? I know it’s difficult for her, but she’s carrying my child and I’m worried about her.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
For this past one month, I haven’t been in my right frame of mind. The poison has completely been extracted from my body and I’m fully recovered now, just been placed on medication, but a part of me still feels like I’m yet to recover. Maybe I wouldn’t be feeling this way if she were to he here with me. I miss her so much, I miss her smile and everything, I miss her being that bad ass that I fell in love with, but it hurts that things can never remain the same. I hate that I will remain on her bad side forever and there’s nothing that can be done about it.
“Are you never going to let this go?” Alex’s voice sounds from behind me, and I sighs deeply. I want to push all the thoughts away and maybe learn to be happy, but it’s difficult to do, considering that Harley is out there hating me. It’s difficult to move on, knowing that she now see me as the murderer of her family. I can imagine how hard it was for her, gathering the courage to hurt me so badly. She doesn’t have a bad heart, and I know that. Maybe it was my fault, I should’ve tried harder, maybe she would’ve told me earlier before it got out of hand.
“It’s complicated, Alex…” I glance at him and return my gaze back to the sky. I’m standing at the balcony and staring at the dark sky. It’s already evening and the stars are out, shining brightly in the sky.
“But you have to move on…”
“And you think it’s that easy? I’ve tried to do it, but it never worked. It has been one month already, I haven’t heard from her. I’ve tried tracking down her location, but nothing seems to be working. How do you expect me to be happy and move on so easily as if it never happened? She hates me now, she believes that I’m the one behind the explosion, when it was never my fault will you be able to move on so easily if you were in my shoes?” He sighs deeply, leaning on the rail.
“I understand. I’ve also been trying to track down her location, but nothing is working. She seems to have made sure of everything…” He pauses and sighs softly.
“I’ll keep trying. I was able to meet with the attorney, and he promised to help you get the company back. We just need to clear the case from the police custody and everything will be fine. There’s no solid evidence anymore, I’ve taken care of everything. I’ve paid money to the attorney, and he will handle everything later and tell us the day we’ll be meeting at the court,” he further says and I nod. Having Alex in my life is one of the best things that ever happened to me. He always madre sure that I’m fine, he has always been by my side and takes care of everything on my behalf. After thorough investigation, he found out that Richmond was the one behind everything. He was the one that reported to the police that I’m into this business, and he also gave the evidence to the cops. Alex had taken care of everything and gotten rid of the evidence. Now it is like I was framed. I’ll answer to them in the court of law.
“Good,” I says in muffled breath.
“You have to be happy and prepare yourself mentally for the battle coming ahead. I’ll always be here for you,” he pats my shoulder and with that, he turns around and walk away.
I sighs softly, tucking my hands inside my pockets. It’s more than nine months already since Harley became pregnant. Has she given birth yet? Is she OK? How’s the unborn child now? Those are the questions that keeps lurking around my mind without answers and it hurts deeply.
I’ll find you, Harley. I’ll prove my innocence to you and get the real culprit. I’ll make sure that I get you back, and that’s a promise…
Mexico
Samir’s apartment
“Awwwn! He’s so cute…” Jenny, Harley’s old friend chuckles softly as she touches the baby’s cheeks while he coos. It has been one week since Harley gave birth, and she has been staying with Samir.
After she left Jayden, she went to Samir who flee her out to Mexico almost immediately. Her old friends have been good to her and the baby.
“Come here baby…” Jenny smiles softly, taking the baby from Harley who have been carrying him in her arms.
“I’ll be back, just a few minutes,” Harley excuses herself and heads to her room. She strides along the hallway until she gets in front of her room, and pushes the door open. Stepping into her room, she ambles to the closet and throws it open and Jayden’s picture falls on the ground.
Her face drops sadly as she slowly bends down and picks up the picture, staring at it. Slowly, a drop of tears trickles down her cheeks. It has been seven weeks already since she departed from him, and there have no been any single day that she hasn’t thought of him. He doesn’t want to miss him, he want to move on and forget about his existence, he want to leave the past behind and live a happy life with her son, but it’s difficult to do as his thoughts never left her. She keeps thinking of him every second and can’t help but to miss him.
No matter how much she had tried to hate him in these past days, it’s just so difficult to do. Nothing is working, and her son, what is she supposed to do when he keeps reminding her of him? Although they may not be together, but seeing her son, makes her feels like he’s around him. At times she thinks she shouldn’t have left in the first place, she should’ve stick by him, but it was difficult to do.
“Are you still thinking of him?” She freezes on the spot at the voice that suddenly comes from behind her, sending chilled sensation over her body. Slowly, she gulps down the sadden lump that forms in her throat, as she turns slowly to see Samir standing behind her…
