Chapter 48
“Are you ready for this?” Felix shrugged at Harley who was currently dressed like a Korean woman. She was wearing a big suit and high heels which went with the color of what she was wearing.
“You look changed, different and beautiful”. Felix complimented Her as she smiled. “thank you”
“Follow me”. Ever since Harley had been inside his room she never got the chance to go outside or see the interior of his mansion. “Wow, is this your house or your boss’s own?” She asks, in utmost display, that someone like him could hold an expensive House like this”.
Felix didn’t reply to her until they got to his luxurious car which welcomed them. “Welcome back Felix, where do you want us to go today?” The siren inside the car shrugged at them immediately as they got inside as Harley stood frightened. But she wasn’t seeing anybody! So where does such Voice come from?
“And this car belong to you as well Felix?” Harley rasped in at her as he gave her a questionable gaze. “Felix” really? So you will be calling my name in front of everybody, especially your parents? Felix scolds her, finding it weird that she was actually calling his name when she was supposed to call him with a romantic name since they have to pretend to everyone that they’re dating.
“Don’t go there fucking yourself up Harley, I do hope you can play along”.
*******
Everybody inside could hear the car horn of a car moving inside and by staring at the window they could tell that someone was coming inside.
“I think that should be my daughter coming “. Kate shrugged at everyone who had been waiting for Harley’s arrival since she told them to gather up and everyone had been complaining since, saying that they have to go to their various places since Harley wasn’t coming.
Everybody was surprised to see a handsome man tall like her by her side. Kate couldn’t help but wonder if the person coming right now was actually her daughter. Why does she get a man holding her like that as if they’re couples? She thought.
Harley looked for one Empty seat and sat down with Felix who was glaring at everyone.
“Good afternoon everyone”. Harley was so bold and confident with her words as she bowed down in Obeisance.
“Harley why…” Mother please just hear her speech first! I’m sure you can question her later on”. Catherina whispered at Gill Morgan, her mother who was about to shrug at Harley.
“I know that I have kept Everyone worries over my last disappearance and I’m very sorry About that”
“The truth is That; I was kidnapped some days ago by someone who wanted to take revenge on me for not accepting him and all of a sudden, this man here Felix” show up to me and saved me;
He beated the guy that was planning to harm me and teach him a lesson then put him in life imprisonment.” After that Felix took me to his house and took care of Me until I was healthy again.
“I’m really sorry for the inconvenience that I have cost on everyone so far”.
“Ohhh Harley but you should have called to let us know! “Where did such incidents happen because we never hear about it here”.
Harley could hear the different voices questioning her.
“Please excuse me, I aren’t done with what I’m going to say so if maybe”, we can save those questions for later”. She shrugged at them.
“As you all Knew; I and Brandon relationship was based on contract and not love, we were to get married many months ago but Brandon kept prolonging it all because of the fact that he’s no longer interested.”
Brandon had told me lots of times that he wasn’t the father of my unborn child! He made it clear to me that he wasn’t the one responsible for my pregnancy which I came to realize. He was really telling the truth! He wasn’t the one that impregnate me but him”
Harley pointed at Felix who was smiling at them. “So today, I “Harley” had come to terminate the long contract I once had with Brandon and I will be so grateful if someone can bring the document of the contract .”
“Are you okay Harley, are you really out of your mind?” Her mother bellowed at her immediately on uttering such words.
“How can you be saying such nonsense? How can you say that my son wasn’t the one you got pregnant for? Are you saying this because you feel like he no longer cares about you? Brandon’s mother questions her as she scoffs. “Is she really going to explain herself to them at the moment? Can’t they believe the small thing she told them?
Brandon stood up to say the truth on seeing that she was already revealing the truth to everyone. At least she realized her mistake on time.
“Everything Harley is saying right now was based on the truth; I’m happy she came to realize the truth on time and had decided to let it out.
“Just as she had stated, I no longer have feelings for Harley like I do before and do because of her nasty character. I suddenly came to realize that I will be trapped with Harley if I ever made the mistake of marrying her which was the reason why I had been prolonging it and she’s aware of it Also.
“So today, I “Gill Brandon” will terminate the contract I have with Harley! There was a murmur between the crowd as he uttered such words.
“Please aunt Catherina, can you go to mom’s room and bring the document?” Brandon shrugged at her elder sister who smiled at him and nodded his head. “I will be back”
Martin, Harley’s father , was really impressed with the decisions of his daughter. At least she finally made the right decision of letting Brandon go since he doesn’t care about her.
“I, Martin” Harley’s father agreed with the termination of the contract”.
“Father” Harley was really surprised as she hugged him. “Thank you so much father”.
“And finally” Felix says as he stood up glaring at everybody as he fixed his gaze on Brandon.
“From today go, I hereby take Harley as my fiance, since she’s carrying my unborn baby and I promise to wed her soon Before everybody comes to realize that she’s pregnant, so I hereby ask the both parents of the engaged couples to terminate the contract and hand Harley to me”.
There was some silent moment as he uttered those words while Brandon kept glaring at the new strange guy who he founded so mysterious.
