REVENGE GIRL

His mouth drops open in shock as he stares at the screen of his phone. This is bad! How did he get exposed in just a twinkle of eyes? Who leaked his secret?

The sudden bang on his door jolts him back to reality, and he snaps his head in the direction of the closed door. He is not scared of turning himself in, but thinking of Harley and his unborn child scares him a lot. He don’t want to be away from them.

With all the strength left in him, he drags his feet to the door and pull it open. Alex is right there, standing with a worried look on his face.

“We have to get out of here, Jay. You’re not safe…” Alex grabs his hand, but he yanks it away and steps away from him.

“Wh… wha… what are you doing? We have to get out of here, the cops will soon be here and we won’t be able to escape then!” Alex yells at him, but he remains rooted to the spot, not making a move.

“Harley… where’s she?” He pushes Alex off his way and saunters to Harley’s room, but he stops abruptly just right in front of her door, as an excruciating pain shoot through him. He suddenly feels his bones weakens and his chest wrenches in pain. He clutch his chest, squeezing his face, while struggling to breath.

“Jay… Jay are you OK?” Alex hurries over to him.

“I… I… Alex… argh!… it hurts…” He falls to his knees, groaning in pain as his veins pops out from his skin. He look like he’s in so much pain, his bones feels as though they’ve been set ablaze, his eyes are red and puffy.

“Jay… come on!” Alex tries to help him up, but he’s too week to carry himself, so they both fall on the floor and he passes out…

Down the secluded area in Russia…

The bungalow house is beautiful, but small and well furnished. It’s painted in white color. The interior design is beautiful, but the couches in the small living room aren’t so expensive.

Jayden is lying on the small bed with his eyes closed as he sleeps peacefully, while a young lady is hovering over him and examining him. Alex is standing and watching them while having a worried look on his face. After Jayden passed out earlier, he was able to move him from the house, through the secret tunnel that only a few members of the cartel knows of. Jayden’s house has already been invaded by the cops and they were searching for him everywhere. But somehow, he managed to get his friend out of there.

The bungalow is the house Alex bought some years ago. That is where he has been keeping his girlfriend and it’s safe enough. He had asked his girlfriend, Alice who’s a doctor to check him out as soon as they arrived and for over twenty minutes, she has been examining him.

After what seem like forever, she finally stands up and face Alex.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“How’s he feeling now? What exactly is wrong with him?” Alex asks curiously.

“He was poisoned with polonium 204…” She breaks the news, and Alex freeze on the spot as his eyes slowly widens in shock. Polonium 204 is one of the high ranking poison that kills faster than any other poison.

“What!” He finally manages to exclaim after a few seconds of being silent.

“It has already affected almost all of his body system. Polonium kills fast, but I have no idea why he’s still alive. From the test result, it showed that the poison have been in his body for over three weeks already. It’s unclear why he never showed any symptoms,” she further says.

“Bu… but…” Alex opens his mouth to talk, but words fails him as his mouth only trembles and closes back. Who could’ve done this? Why would anyone think of killing him? Could it be that it’s one of his cartel members? Those are the questions that keeps flooding his mind, but fail to provide answers for it.

“What do we do? Will he be fine? You have to do something, please,” he pleads with her, but her face drops.

“I’m sorry, Alex. But I don’t think there’s anything that can be done about it. If you want to try, he would have to be taken to the hospital, and try your luck on him. But if you want me to be honest with you, then I’d say that there’s no need trying. His bone marrow has already been affected, and the chance of him surviving this is slim…”

“No! No! You can’t tell me that. I can’t take him to the hospital, it’s dangerous out there. The cops are out there looking for him, taking him out of here is as good as turning him in to the police, and I can never do something like that. You have to do something, babe… Jayden can’t die! He’s the only family I have aside you. Please you have to save him!” Tears trickles down his cheeks as he pleads with her. They have been together almost all their lives, they have been by each other’s side and always protected each other, letting him die now is the last thing he want to think of.

“Alex, get yourself together! He’s already dying! Do you know what polonium is? The poison is toxic, he’s just lucky that he’s still alive until now. I don’t want him to die either, but there’s nothing that can be done about it…”

“I don’t know how you’re going to do it, but you just have to do something. Maybe you should call someone to come help you out or something… Just help me save my friend, please,” he pleads with her again, and she sighs. Seeing him in tears hurts her deeply, but it’s complicated at this point.

“I’ll find a way around it…” He snaps his head to look at her upon hearing this, as a smile lace up his lips. He feels his hope reborn again…
