REVENGE GIRL

His mouth dropped open at the sound and sight he beheld, it was Harley, singing in her sweet voice. He couldn’t help but admire her. Her elegance was everything any man would fall for, and he isn’t an exemption.

The sound of his ringing phone suddenly echo in the office and he glanced at the screen and immediately picked up the call, seeing the caller to be from an important person.

“This is Richmond speaking,” He said on the phone as soon as he answered the call.

“You have to come to the base camp, right away,” A masculine voice said from the other end and the call ended immediately. He sprang up and picked up his car keys before storming out of his office and heading straight outside the restaurant, where his car was parked neatly. He hopped inside the car and just when he was about to turn on the ignition, the sound of his ringing phone pulled his attention, and without checking who the caller was, he pressed the Bluetooth fixed in his ear.

“I’m scared…, he… he… he’s here,” Harley’s terrified voice rang through the phone, and his eyes slowly narrowed as his mouth dropped open.

“Wh… who?” He stuttered in fear but heard no sound and the next thing he heard was her scream.

“Cassie? Are you there? Cassie are you there? Hang on, I’ll be there now,” He said and with that, he ignited his car and drove out of the company. Driving on the road, different thoughts came conflicting on his mind, he couldn’t help getting worried about her. What if the people that are after his life had invaded the house and hurt her? The thought of the person that had called him earlier flashed through his mind, and he quickly shrugged the thoughts off. He was more concerned about her safety than anything else.

After driving for what seemed like forever, he finally parked at the side of the road and jumped out of the car before hurrying through the route that lead to the house. After running for a few minutes, he stormed into the house and stopped on his track as he was welcomed with bottles littering the floor and a trail of blood staining the floor. His heart skipped like a million times and he proceeded into the room but stopped on his track as he was welcomed by the scariest sight of his life. Harley was there, lying motionless in her pool of blood.

“Cassie! Cassie!” He called worriedly, hurrying over to her and falling to his knees. He picked her up in a bridal style, shaking her and trying to wake her up, but she was already out. He hurried to the door and stormed out of the house. He drove her to the hospital and she was taken into the wardroom as soon as he gave her to the doctor and was asked to stay outside and wait for them.

He paced restlessly in the lobby while praying that nothing happens to her. Though he didn’t see any physical injury on her, she met her in a pool of blood. The sound of his ringing phone echoed in the lobby, bringing him to an abrupt halt and bringing the phone out from his pocket, and he slide the answer button.

“You have to be here in ten minutes, it’s urgent,” The masculine voice said and the call ended before he could talk. His hand dropped down beside him as he ruffled his hair with the other one, he needed to be somewhere and he also needed someone to stay with Harley and watch over her.

“Shit!” He cursed under his breath. Suddenly, one of the doctors came out of the room and he rushed over to him.

“How’s he feeling now, doc?” He asked curiously.

“She’s out of danger now, but she already lost so much blood and would need some time to heal,” The doctor said and he nodded.

“Can I see her now?” He asked, and the doctor nodded before walking away. He sighed and headed straight to the wardroom. Stepping into the ward, he met her sleeping peacefully on the bed with a bandage wrapped around her head and that was when it dawned on him that she must’ve been injured on the head.

Walking over to the chair beside the bed, he sat down and took her hand gently, giving it a light squeeze as a smile laced up his lips. It has just been a couple of weeks, and he had fallen so deeply in love with her. He had tried to deny the feeling, he had tried to tell himself that it was not love, but the more he tried to deny it, the truth always stand right before him and stared back at him right in the face.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He sighed deeply, staring at her beautiful face while wondering what she had done to him, nobody had ever captured his heart the way she had done, and to think that she was a stranger he picked from the roadside, keeps driving him crazy. The only question he had been asking himself without an answer, was who she was and where she was from. He had tried asking her this a couple of times, but she was always traumatized each time he had asked her, so he never talked about it again. Although he had been carrying out some investigation about her, but strangely he still hasn’t found anything yet, which stirred up his confusion and curiosity.

The sound of his ringing phone pulled his attention and bringing out his phone, it turned out that it was his friend, Craig that was calling him.

“It’s a good thing you’re calling, Craig. Cassie had an accident and is currently in the hospital, can you please come over and help me watch over her for some time? I need to be somewhere,” He said as soon as he picked up the call.

“Alright,” A masculine voice sounded through the phone and soon, the call ended and he sighed deeply. Seconds slowly ticked into minutes and after what seemed like forever, a knock suddenly came on the door and a young lady walked inside elegantly.

“Who are you?” He asked confusingly, pulling a puzzled look. He obviously has never met the young lady standing before him, anywhere before, and to think that she was in the hospital ward where Harley was kept, is kind of complicated and confusing.

“It’s sad how you can’t even recognize me,” The young lady said, removing the mask that was covering her face and Richmond gasped…
