REVENGE GIRL

“If that’s supposed to be a joke, you better stop it, Samir…, I mean how can you even say that confidently, huh? How the hell do you expect me to agree to this?” She scoffed angrily, as she turned over to the other side of the bed. She couldn’t still believe that the man she loves her whole life and can’t even go a day without him, was sending her to Russia like it was nothing.

“Come on Harley…, it’s not like you’re going to stay there forever. You’re just going there for a mission. Jayden has helped me several times, and I don’t want to turn him down, he needs me now, what do you want him to think of me if I can’t even help him in his times of needs, when he had helped me several times?” Samir spoke softly, trying to convince her.

“That’s not my business…, you can send someone else there, OK? I’m not the only one working for you, so why can’t you send another person there? Why me?” She said sadly.

“Don’t be sad, OK? You’re not going to stay there for long…, you’ll be back before you know it. The reason I’m sending you there is because I trust you to be capable of this, so can we stop arguing already, please? I know this is difficult for you, but I promise you that you’ll be back before you know it.” He assured her and she nodded even if she wasn’t happy with it.

“Look at me.” He said softly, as he tucked her hair behind her ear. She rolled her eyes and blushed hard as she rolled on the bed and faced him. They stared at each other, smiling…

Harley POV

Gosh! I can’t believe I’m leaving Mexico today. It hurts that I’m going to be away from Samir for some time, but I have no choice since it’s what he wants.

“I’m going to miss you, Harley,” Nina whined and hugged me for the umpteenth time, while I just rolled my eyes at her. She had said this almost twenty times already, well I don’t blame her, I feel the same too. After Samir, Nina is the only person I’m close with, she is the only friend I have.

“You’ve said that countless times already, so can I go now?” I chuckled lightly as I pulled away from her, and she nodded sadly. I bade them goodbye before I finally went to hop in the car that was already waiting for me in the parking lot, and the driver drove me away.

I couldn’t stop thinking about my team members and Samir, as the driver motioned the car. My cheeks suddenly became wet, and that was when I realized that I was tearing up.

After a few minutes of drive, we finally got to the airport, and my flight took off by 10:20am. For these past years of my life, I’ve grown attached to the team members, especially Samir. I know I’m just going to be away for some time, but I still can’t help being sad, I never knew it’d hurt leaving them.

Drowning in my thoughts, I felt my eyelids heavy and in no time, I gave in to nature.

After thirteen hours and thirty two minutes, the flight finally landed at Sheremetyevo international airport in Moscow. Stepping out of the airplane with my sunglass resting on my nose, while I dragged my luggage behind me, I sighted two men in suits, walking toward me.

“You’re welcome to Russia, miss Harley. My name is Alex,” One of the men said, and I rolled my eyes angrily. He should save that for who wants to listen, I’m not in for that shit.

“Are we leaving or not?” I asked instead, getting irritated by his presence. If only he knows how much I hate that I’m here, introducing himself would’ve been the last thing on his mind.

“Oh! This way.” He said with disappointment on his face, but who cares about how he feels? If he feels disappointed, then he should learn not to be too informal next time, I don’t tolerate nonsense. He led me to the black expensive-looking car that was parked somewhere in the airport, and as soon as we hopped in, the driver set the car in motion and drove away.

“So, how was your trip.” The Alex guy foolishly asked, and I almost screamed my lungs out. Is this dude serious at all? Don’t tell me he’s hell-bent on frustrating me?

“If you aren’t dumb, then you would’ve seen the bold handwriting already stating that I do not want to be bothered by you, so if you’ll please leave me the hell alone.” I snapped at him and plugged my earpiece into my ears to prevent me from hearing whatever nonsense he was going to spurt again.

After almost thirty minutes of driving, they finally drove into a magnificent mansion and parked at the garage before I was led into the building. I got no time to admire the place, so I was shown to my room upstairs. After making a video call with Samir, I finally had a long relaxing bath.

Stepping out of the bathroom, I got dressed and left the room. Stepping out of the room, I met Alex on his way to my room. Gosh! Why him again?

“I was heading to your room. Jay is back and he demands to see you in the base camp.” He said, and I nodded for him to lead the way. He lead me to the base camp, which was the underground of the mansion. I doubt if anyone else knows that there’s a base camp here, aside from his team members.

Stepping into the base camp, my eyes met with someone, it was Jay. My mouth almost dropped at the sight I beheld. I had seen him a couple of times in a picture, but I never knew he’d be more handsome than he was in the picture.

“Have a seat,” Alex said, and I rolled my eyes before sitting down. He’s trying to look like the gentleman he’s not.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“I’ll just go straight to the point. Samir already told me about you, so I don’t think introducing yourself will be of any importance, because we’re not here for that. I value my time more than anything, so I’ll just go straight to the point as I said.” He said arrogantly, as he dropped the picture of a man on the center table in front of me. Wow! He’s so arrogant, he can’t even welcome me, not that I need it though.

“This is detective Richmond Hill, I want him taken down. The pay is one hundred and fifty million dollars. Half of the money will be sent to your account before the job starts, and when the mission is completed, you can get your balance, and our deal will be over with each other.” He said egoistically, while I just stared at the man in the picture…
