Treachery Affair

“So it was you all along? Do you think she will love you after doing this? You think she will succumb to you after lying to her and made her believe your lies? You should stop deceiving yourself, Samir. You’re worse than a coward!” Hayden yells angrily, sending a punch to his face, and Samir staggers back.

“Is that all you can do? Go ahead and hit me all you want, Jay! Go ahead and hit me! What were you thinking? You shouldn’t have made the mistake of betraying me! You’re nothing, but a traitor…”

“And what the hell are you if I am a traitor? How dare you think of taking advantage of Harley and still say that you love her? Do you know at all what it means to love someone?” Jayden yells at him again, and he scoffs.

“I don’t want to know. Well, guess who’s going to die soon? Well, I have a good news for you and I also have a bad one. Which one would you want to hear first?” Samir asks sarcastically, as a smirk plays at the corner of his lips.

“What are you hiding, Samir? Where’s Harley?” He grabs Samir’s collar and shakes him violently.

“Hey, chill man. It has something to do with Harley and your precious son. I’m sure you won’t to throw me off the cliff, yeah?” His smirk slowly turns into a wide smile, and the look of realization appears on Jayden’s face. His heart gladdens at what he said. Harley had a son! She gave birth.

“Ahah! I love that look on your face. What if I tell you that your son is going to die today and you may not even get to see his face?” Samir utters satisfactorily.

“Don’t you dare do something stupid, Samir. I won’t spare you, I promise!” Jayden spits out, and Samir shrugs.

“Don’t worry, dear friend. I won’t let your son become an orphan in the other world. I’m sending you to him. The two of you are the only obstacles stopping me from being with the love of my life, so there’s no point sparing the two of you. You know… your son is so cute and looks innocent, that I don’t want to kill him. I’m not that heartless to kill a little boy that is so cute, but knowing that Harley will always have you in her mind for as long as the baby lives, I can’t take a chance, Jay…”

“You bastar…” Jayden stops abruptly and a gasp escapes his lips as a sudden ray of red light appears on his chest. It’s the light from a sniper.

“Just one more step forward, and you’ll be gone for good. You won’t get to see your son, or maybe you’ll be lucky enough to see him in the other world,” Samir smirks evily.

“Samir… I beg of you. Don’t hurt Harley… Don’t hurt my son, please. You can take my life, if that’s what you want. But please, spare Harley and my son,” tears slowly trickles down Jayden’s cheeks as he pleads with Samir.

“It’s so sad that almighty Jayden is begging like a puppy, but it’s more painful that I’ll have to turn him down this time around. You requested for three things. I shouldn’t hurt Harley. Well, who said that I was going to hurt her? I love her so much and want to be with her, so there’s no way I’ll think of doing her harm. So I’ll grant that request. It’s not something to bargain for, Jayden… You know I won’t spare your son. And did you say that I should take your life instead? Well, I’m still going to do that, but not too fast,” Samir finally pulls out a pistol from his trouser and pointing it at Jayden.

“Where are your men? I was expecting you to bring them along, especially that bastard Alex. I thought he’ll be here to protect you, since you both are inseparable. Anyways, that’s not even my problem. Tell me… which do you prefer? Jumping off the cliff or shooting you to death?” Samir asks him, and he slowly clenches his fists beside himself. This is the end of the road for him, he is going to lose his life and there’s nothing he can do about it. Thinking about Harley, tears find its way out of his eyes. He wish he can see her again, he wish he can get to see his son even if it’s just once. He wish he can see Harley and tell her that he have been the innocent one from the onset. Maybe he will find rest after she realizes the truth, but those are wishes that won’t come true for him.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you scared? I’m sorry, but this has to happen,” Samir squints his eyes as his smirks widens. Seeing the look on Jayden’s face gives him nothing, but joy. He can’t just wait to send him to his grave, and all his problem will be over. He can’t wait to have Harley all to himself.

“Oh, right. I forgot to tell you this. Wondering what’s going to be the fate of Harley? Well, I know you’re worried about her, but you don’t have to. I will take good care of her and make sure that she is fine even without you. Besides, I have always taken care of her before you came from nowhere. She will be happier without you, she will forget that you ever existed…”

“What are you planning to do, Samir?” He asks angrily in between gritted teeth.

“You don’t have to know…”

“You…” He charges at Samir, but he suddenly screams and falls to his knees. His leg starts bleeding. Someone had just shot his leg. It’s the sniper.

“I warned you. Don’t come close to me,” Samir says calmly, taking slow and steady steps towards him and once he’s in front of him, he squats down in front of him.

Jayden stares back at him with resentment. As much as he want to grab his neck and choke life out of him, he knows that won’t be possible. He will be killed before he even think of it. More tears floods down his cheeks as he holds his bleeding leg while groaning in pain, not breaking eye contact with Samir.

“Don’t try to do something stupid, Jayden. You’ll die before you think of fighting…” Samir says to him, not letting that dirty smirk off the corner of his lips. He finally stands up to his feet.

“Bring the baby…” Samir says to no one in particular, and in the next few seconds, a man appears with a baby in his arms…NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
