REVENGE GIRL

Harley Quinn

“You traitor! How could you!” Mom yell at me angrily, tears trickle down her cheeks. The look on her face explains the pain she’s feeling deep inside her. She look like she’s so hurt. The pink long gown she’s wearing is torn into pieces, her face is stained with black substance that I can’t explain what it is. Her hair is messy and there are bruises all over her body. Slowly, my gaze travel to the man standing beside her and my heart tighten. It’s dad. He’s also wearing torn clothes and bruises all over his body. He look so angry, there’s an invisible burning fire around him that I can’t decipher where it’s coming from.

“Dad…” Excited, I raise my hand to touch him, but the look he casts me scares me away and I flinch. He doesn’t look happy.

“Don’t you dare touch me, you traitor!” He roars and my eyes widens in shock. What’s he talking about? Why are they both like this? I’ve missed them so much, it has been so many years that we’ve been apart, why would they be treating me like this now that we’ve finally met?

“Why are you treating me like this? I’ve missed you two so much, why are you pushing me away?” I yell as tears trickle down my cheeks. What they’re doing is hurting me and it’s driving me crazy.

“How dare you ask me that question? You’re nothing, but a traitor and I regret ever giving birth to you,” Mom’s words echo in the air and I clench my fists as I stare at her in utter disbelief.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Have I suddenly become a disgrace to you? Have I become a disgrace that you suddenly don’t want me anymore? Why didn’t you kill me when you gave birth to me? Why did you raise me up only for you two to reject me now and regret ever giving birth to me!” I pour out my painful heart as I cry bitterly. I fall to my knees and dig my fingers into the mud slowly, venting all my anger on it. It hurts, my heart hurts.

“You betrayed us… you betrayed us… you betrayed us…” I clutch my ears tightly as their words pierce through them like a sharp knife.

“Harley… Harley… are you OK? Open your eyes, Harley…” A familiar faint voice call my name from nowhere. The way the voice sounds, seems as though it’s coming from the depth of the forest. I try to ignore the voice that keep calling my name, but then the images of my parents started to fade away slowly. They can’t go, they have to explain to me how I am a traitor.

“Harley!” My eyes suddenly snap open only to find myself in my room and on my bed, with Jay sitting beside me and having a worried look on his face. I breath heavily as I stare into space, beads of sweat cover my forehead.

“Shhhhhh! Don’t be scared, I’m here,” Jay pull me into his arms and give me the comfort I need at the moment…

Richmond Hill

For the past few months that Cassie have been away have been hell on earth for me, but somehow, I manage to comfort the pained Nelson who would never stop crying with each day that passes by. It’s three months already, and I haven’t seen any sign of her anywhere, which makes me think twice about what Craig have been telling me. What if she was really a spy? What if she was really sent to monitor and bring me down? For these few months, I have tried to convince myself that it’s not what I think, but seeing the truth staring back at me, it’s really difficult to deny. I think I have to be more vigilant, I have to protect my child.

For the past five years, I have joined the undercover detectives team to bring criminals down, and I haven’t had so much time to take care of my son and also find justice for my late wife, and I think it’s high time I do that and live for me and my family.

As I drive to the general of police house, so many thoughts keeps parading my mind. What if I’m making the wrong decision? Will I regret this in the future? Those are the questions that keep flooding my mind without answers. But one thing I’m sure of, is that I want to change my was of living. I have to protect my son and find justice for my deceased wife.

It only take me a few minutes to get to his house and I turn in my resignation letter and my secret ID card that have given me the identity of an undercover detective all these years. My mind have been made up and there’s no going back for me.

“It’s been nice working with you,” He shake hands with me for the last time before I finally leave his house.

I drive out of his compound and straight to the beach where I usually visit whenever I want to clear my head. I stand by the beach and stare into the blue ocean. The gentle wind blow gently on my face and sway my hair gently, giving me the soothing feelings. I feel so lightheaded and calmed, but the pain is still there.

The sound of my ringing phone pull my attention and I bring my phone out of my pocket. It’s mom on the phone.

“Mom?” I call as soon as I pick the call, but the voice that come from the other end make my heart skip like a million times.

“Richmond, you have to come home. It’s… it’s Nelson. He’s missing,” Mom’s worried and teary voice sound from the other end and I freeze on the spot as my mouth drop open. Is this some joke or something? No! This isn’t happening.

“Mo… mom…” I open my mouth to talk, but words fail me. For the next few minutes, I stand rooted to the spot. I try to move my legs, but they’re just too heavy for me to move. My mouth tremble in shock and disbelief…
