Treachery Affair

Harley POV

I couldn’t stop wondering where he was taking me, as he drove down the road but I chose to not ask questions and let him take me there first. Besides, I know he can’t harm me, even if he intends to, it’s not possible to harm me, not Harley.

I keep admiring the vehicles passing by and the things worth admiring as a smile laced up my lips. It has been a while since I last see such beautiful views, and I must confess that it was really fun. Letting out a sigh, the thought of Samir flashed through my mind and I couldn’t help but miss him. I can’t wait to get done with this freaking mission and leave this place for good. There’s no way in hell I’ll ever work with that arrogant dude, not ever again.

After driving for what seemed like forever, he finally drove into a magnificent building and parked in the garage.

“We’re here,” He announced, and I pulled a puzzled look. What the heck is he talking about? I thou he was taking me to another remote area, but it seems like I was wrong after all. Stepping out of the car, he led me to the entrance door and once we got there, he placed a knocked on the door after pressing the doorbell and got no answer.

A few minutes later, the door finally opened, revealing a middle-aged woman, wearing a red loose gown. She smiled as soon as she saw Richmond, and I could tell that she must have a relationship with him, judging from the striking resemblance between the two.

“You’re finally here,” Her smile widened as if she had been expecting him. I stood watching them do their things and usher me in. After hugging Richmond, she finally turned to me and cupped my cheeks while I pulled a puzzled look. What the heck is going on?

“Wow! You’re so beautiful, my son has eyes for beautiful things. You’re welcome to my home, my daughter,” She smiled and pulled me into her warm embrace, while I pulled a puzzled look wondering what she was talking about. I just hope it’s not what I’m thinking. Tilting my head to look at Richmond, demanding an explanation, he gave me a pleading expression that said that I should please play along, and I nodded even if I was confused about the whole thing.

“Thank you, aunt,” I forced a nervous and confusing smile.

“Come on, come inside. I made your favorite,” She said to Samir, leading us inside. Stepping inside the living room, I could only admire the beauty of the place. The interior design was way more beautiful than the exterior view. Beautiful and expensive-looking couches were arranged in the living room, there was a big chandelier light hanging on the ceiling and the curtains were beautiful and looked expensive. Though the house was nothing, compared to Jay and Samir’s house, but it was still beautiful.

“Please, sit,” He said and I sat on the couch.

“I’ll go get you something to eat,” The woman said excitedly before walking away. I tried placing why she could be so happy, but I couldn’t get the pieces together. Once I was the only one in the living room with Richmond, I tried asking him questions, but he stood up instead.

“Come on, let me show you to your room,” He said, looking everywhere else but my face. Ok, this is now more confusing, why is he avoiding my gaze.

“Alright,” Standing up on my feet, I followed him to the stairs. We climbed the staircase to the hallway and he stopped in front of the second room. Pushing the door open, he walked inside while I followed behind and my mouth dropped open in shock at the sight I beheld. A part of the floor was covered with a red rug, which was my favorite color, the queen-sized bed had a red bedspread and duvet neatly arranged on it, and I couldn’t help the smile that spread on my lips. How the heck did he know my favorite color?

“I hope you like it?” His voice pulled me back to reality. Of course, I was lost in the beauty of the room. Tilting my head to look at him, I smiled excitedly and nodded my head. Regardless of the reason, I’m here, at least I’ll be able to live like a normal person even if it’s just for a little time. Well, for the past years after the awful incident years ago that left me devastated, I’ve been living a miserable life, even if I’m not happy, I have to at least try to be happy.

“Yes,” I replied and took my attention to the dresser, where there were so many cosmetics and a smile laced up my lips. For some years now, I have been living like a man, I have been so busy with one mission or the other, that I do not have time to take good care of myself. I mean, I’m always on a mask and all the dress, so there’s no point in applying make-up on my face, right?Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Alright. That’s the bathroom, the dressing room is right there and your clothes have been arranged in the closet. Let me know if you need anything,” He said and I nodded with a smile playing on my face. For the first time, I smiled at him genuinely. It has been years since I last felt this happy.

“Thank you,” I said and he nodded.

“I’ll leave you now. Join us downstairs when you’re done taking your bath,” He said and with that, he turned around and left the room. Rushing over to the bed, I threw myself on it and closed my eyes briefly while taking in the soothing feeling. It felt so good and relaxing. It has been a couple of weeks since I last felt like this, I have been sleeping uncomfortably.

The sound of my beeped phone pulled my attention and sitting up on the bed, I brought it out of my pocket and unlocked it, as a message popped on the screen of the phone, it was from Jay. Well, he messaged me to know if I have gotten to the place. Of course, I told him that I was moving out. I replied to his message and dropped my phone before heading to the bathroom.

Stepping into the spacious bathroom, I stripped out of my clothes and got under the shower. I spent a few minutes in the shower and once I was done, I walked back into the room.

After I was done applying lotion to my skin, I applied light make-up to my face and packed my hair in a ponytail before going to select some clothes from the closet. Throwing the closet open, my mouth formed an ‘oh’ at the sight I beheld. There were so many beautiful clothes in there. I picked out a pair of red sweat pants and a white crop top after which I wore a pair of red flip flops to match the dress.

Taking a glance at my reflection in the mirror, my mouth twitched into an exciting smile, as I couldn’t help admiring myself. I headed to the living room afterward. Descending the staircase, I heard the voice of a little boy and the woman from earlier, playing. Stepping into the living room, I finally spotted the little boy.

“Mummy!” He squeaked as soon as he spotted me and I froze on the spot. What the heck is he talking about?…
