REVENGE GIRL

Harley Quinn

It hurts that I’m stuck with him and he won’t even let me go, it hurts that I have to see him every day, it hurts that I finally found the one behind my pain all these years and I haven’t been able to make him pay for his crimes. The image of him setting the bomb keeps popping up in my head every time, triggering my hatred for him and the urge to make him regret all his actions.

It has been two weeks already, and I’ve started showing him a taste of his own medicine. I still love him, it’s hard not to, but becoming a slave to my emotions… That’s the last thing on my mind. I’ve been acting fast, and I hope it works soon enough. Giving him a slow death, that’s all I want. I want him to scream in pain, just like my family did then, I want him to feel every pain I felt then, I want him to feel pain in all part of his body. He will cry his eyes out, he will scream out in pain, not to be freed, but he’ll cry for death to come get him, but he won’t find it. At least not too soon.

The sound of the knock on my door pulls me back to reality, and knowing he’s the one, I slowly clenches my fist. Standing up from the edge of the bed, I wipe the trail of tears from my eyes before I finally reach out to the door and pulls it open, and there he is, standing with a smile on his face. He looks pale and sick, but he doesn’t notice it. He now has a toxic poison running through his blood, but it’s hard to know. He won’t find out about it, until his internal system has been destroyed completely.

“Oh! You’re back?” I smile at him faintly. Making him suspect me is the last thing on my mind. I won’t give him the chance to.

“Yes. How’re you doing? Did you have a great day? Come on, I got you something,” he grabs my hand and without thinking twice, he lead me out of the room, taking me to God knows where, while I trail behind him obediently.

As we walk through the hallway, I keep staring at him as anger spurs through me. The urge to stab him instantly keeps hitting at me, but I try to control myself. Few minutes later, we finally get to the living room, but everywhere is dark as the lights are put off.

“What’s going on?” I ask him confusingly as we both descend the stairs carefully with him still holding my hand.

“You’ll find out soon,” he sounds excited.

Seconds later, the lights are finally put on and the sight that welcomes me makes me freeze on the spot. ‘Will you marry me, Harley Quinn?’ My eyes almost pops out of their sockets as I stare at the decoration on the wall in shock. The living room has been turned into something else with decorations. I have been in my room since yesterday, maybe that’s why I didn’t know about this.

“Harley…” He holds my hands slowly and caress them softly before raising his gaze to meet mine. He’s having a warm and weak expression on his face.

“Words alone can’t describe how much I love you…, it can’t describe how much you mean to me. All these years, I have never dreamed of a day that I’ll propose to a lady, I never had the plans of falling in love with anyone, but you changed my mindset the moment you stepped into my life. I never planned to fall for you, but you stole my heart unknowingly. I never planned to spend the rest of my life with one woman, but you changed that about me and made me the man I am today. Although we may not have been together for years, but to me, it doesn’t matter how long we’ve been together, as far as we love each other…” He pauses and smiles softly.

“When I found out that you were pregnant, I see every reason I should love you more. With every seconds that ticks, you have my heart. Will you let this love lasts forever, but becoming the mother of my kids? Let’s be together for the rest of our lives and protect each other, let’s love each other for our lifetime. Be my wife, Harley Quinn,” he finally bring out a diamond ring from his pocket, while I just stare in shock. This is crazy! I didn’t see this coming.

“I will marry you, Jayden Clinton…” I watch sadly as he slid the ring into my finger. My eyes wells up in tears as my heart wrenches in pain. Accepting the proposal of my enemy, that’s the most heartbreaking thing, but then I have my reason for doing that.

“I love you…” He pulls me into his arms, embracing me as though his life depends on it…

Jayden ClintonContent from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Getting married to Harley has always been my only dream ever since we started dating, and it’ll be a dream finally come true, when we finally become man and wife. All thanks to Alex, I wouldn’t have been bold enough to take this step, it has always been him telling me what to do. I wonder what would’ve become of me without him here. I am not perfect and I still need to learn a lot of things to make her happy, but I’m ready to go through anything to make her happy. If it put a smile on her face, then I will do it no matter how difficult it is to do.

The sound of my ringing phone pulls my attention, and I amble to the bedside table where it’s lying on.

“Jay… There’s a problem…” That’s Alex’s voice. He sounds worried over the phone.

“What’s going on?” I asks him confusingly.

“You haven’t checked the internet yet? Please do now, and you have to leave the house immediately!” The call ends afterward, while I stare into space for some seconds in confusion. I finally unlock my phone and the notification that welcomes me gives me goosebumps. ‘Breaking news! Popular businessman, Jayden Clinton, found to be the leader of the notorious cartel, Jay’s cartel’. I freeze on the spot…
