Treachery Affair

“What do you plan to do, boss?” Harry, Samir’s closest friend asks him as they both stands in the balcony. Samir is having a stick of tobacco stuck in between his lips as he puffs out smoke through his nose.

The corner of his lips slowly twitch into a smirk. For the next one minute, he remains silent, as if he’s thinking of something.

“I’ve taken care of everything. The bomb has been fixed and it’s ticking slowly. It’ll only take a few days, before it’ll explode. By then, she’ll have no option than to come running to me. I’m going to make sure that I make Jay pay for thinking he could fool me and betray me. When I’m done with him, he’ll never think of messing up with me even in his next life,” Samir utters coldly, his face is hardened and his eyes are dark. He takes the tobacco to his lips again and inhale it through his mouth, puffing out smoke from his nose and from the corner of his lips.

“But… Do you think she will come? I’m scared she may still stick to him…”

“When I say that I have taken care of things, I mean it. Don’t doubt my capability, Harry,” he glance at Harry, as his smirk slowly dissipates into a deep frown.

“Sorry, boss,” Harry turns his face away.

“Get the car ready. We’re leaving the house soon,” he finally utters and with that, he turns around and walk back into the room…

Jay’s office

Jay is sitting behind his desk, busy with his desktop as usual. He has works on his desk that needs his attention, and he also has appointments with some of his clients. He looks like he’s trying to wrap up his works before the appointment time.

A knock comes on the door, and he usher the person in, having known that it’s his secretary.

“Sir, Mr Knight called to remind you of the appointment in three hours time. Miss Cleopatra Anderson called. She said that she’s on her way here, and will soon be here,” she utters and he just nod his head.

“Alright. Get me my schedule for the day. Go through the mails and send the important ones to me. I don’t want to have any appointment after the one with Miss Cleopatra and Mr Knight. Also, cancel my appointment for the week, and fix them till two weeks time. Send words to the manager to get me the ledger. I need to check something,” his attention is fully on the screen of the computer as he instructs her.

“Alright, Sir,” she finally turns around and leaves the office, closing the door behind her.

He stops abruptly and release a sigh as the thought of Harley flash through his mind. She has been acting weird lately, and he can’t bring himself to understand what exactly is the problem. He has tried to know what he had done wrong, but his brain is not just working.NôvelDrama.Org content.

A smile lace up his lips as the thought of her carrying his child, flood his mind. He has never been so happy in his entire life. All his life, he never thought he would one day fall in love, let alone having a child. His world has always revolved around drugs and business and he never gave building a family, a plan. It feels so good to know that he’s going to be a father soon.

“Look who’s lost in thoughts. Let me guess what you’re thinking about… Harley,” that’s Alex. He had just walked in on him unaware.

“Hey! When did you get here?” He questions and Alex only scoffs, taking a seat across him.

“How could you have known, when you were busy daydreaming,” Alex rolls his eyes.

“I told you to always call whenever you’re coming over,” his face hardens as he finally turns his attention to the desktop again. He’s only pretending to be mad at his annoying friend.

“Spill it out and stop giving me that attitude. You were blushing, why? Is it Harley?” Alex chuckles, knowing that it can’t be anyone else, other than Harley. From the first time she stepped into the house, he felt something and knew that one day, his beloved friend will fall in love with this lady, although he wasn’t expecting it to be so soon.

“I need advice from you,” he finally opens up, reclining on the chair and sighs briefly. He’s the only one that he always finds comfort in, and the only one he tells his problems to. The attitude he has been getting from Harley is driving him crazy already, and he just needs to find his way around it.

“What’s it?” Alex pays rapt attention to his friend.

“Harley… she’s pregnant…” He stops to study his friend’s reaction, and as expected, his face beams with smile. Having satisfied with the expression on his face, he continues.

“But she has been giving me attitude. She has been acting weird lately, and I can’t get anything out of her, no matter how I try to. First, she fainted from anxiety, according to what the doctor told me before it was confirmed that she’s pregnant. I have been trying to ask her what she has been thinking of, but she keeps telling me that it’s nothing. I know she’s hiding something from me, and it’s driving me crazy. I don’t know what to do,” he runs his fingers through his hair frustratingly.

“Do you have any idea if you did anything wrong to her?” Alex asks to be sure of what’s happening.

“No, I don’t remember that. You know, it all started after she woke up from sleep that day that she lost consciousness. She now feels repulsive towards me and wouldn’t even let me make skin contact with her. It feels like I now disgust her,” he sounds and looks sad.

“Maybe it’s pregnancy hormone, you never can tell,” Alex suggests, and he shake his head.

“I don’t think so. Her pregnancy is barely one month, it can’t possibly be those crazy hormones. I feel like she’s hiding something from me,” he concludes and sighs. He knows that she’s hiding something, she’s not just putting up the attitude for nothing, something must’ve happened that triggered that. But what happened? That’s the question he keeps asking himself without an answer…
