CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND fOURTY-FIVE
HARLEY’S POV
After that confrontation with Catherine, I knew I had to watch my back, how could she ever think I killed Grandma El, it’s is quite unbelievable, because I am here trying to figure out what to do to get Jaxon to shut his mouth and Catherine would think I killed grandma El, I know I am capable of a lot of things but I sure didn’t kill grandma El.
“Damn, it’s Ava, the death of Grandma has Ava written all over it”, I said to myself.
” No no no Ava you can’t be doing this”, I rushed out to take my bath and I quickly dressed up I knew I had to be in Ava’s dungeon as soon as possible, Ava has always been a smart and intelligent mobster, till today I wonder how she can pull off her dirty jobs even when held custody.
In no distant time, I was in her cell, there she was facing the wall, it was like she had something written on it, I could hear her murmuring to herself.
“Ava”, I called, in sudden realization.
“Well well well, another special guest of mine, I knew you would come back, you always do”, she said, smiling wickedly, like she knew what she did, already.
” Ava what have you done, why did you kill Grandma El, she did nothing wrong, why on earth would you do that”, I yelled, fuming in anger.
” Enough of this your sermon, I killed her, this is just the tip of the iceberg, you ruined me like Hayley and you expect to live a peaceful life, you must be joking, everyone is going to think that you killed her, for all they know you’ve never liked her and that’s enough reason for you to kill her”, she laughed, happy at the fact that she was winning.
I wondered how she could kill El from prison, someone is surely working with her, and I will find out who it is.
” Ava stop, Ava please stop, this was not the plan you’re ruining everything, I’m sorry you got into this condition but you have to do whatever you think you are doing, it’s not helping matters”, I cried out, exhausted because of Ava.
” Well, that’s the goal, not to help matters, but rather to worsen matters. If you’ll excuse Hayley I’m busy, it’s obvious you do not have anything meaningful to say”, she said as she turned her back to face the wall.
She continued whatever incantation she was up to when I came in.
” Ava, I called her name but to no reply,
“Please Ava just please stop, I have it under control”,. I begged
” More deaths are going to come”, she replied without attempting to look at my face.
Fear gripped me immediately Ava has never been one to make empty threats, and I know that she would make do with her threats what I fear for now is who her next victim may be, I left the dungeon with teary eyes, I do what all of this to stop, I should be in control, not Ava, not the other way round.
“Damn, I’m fucked”, I said hitting my feet hard on the ground, the pain that came after hurt so badly that it felt like my feet were leaving my legs.
I left quickly for the mansion, I hoped that nobody had seen me, I did not want to get implicated in Ava’s drama any longer.
Immediately I stepped into the living room, there was Diago standing fiercely with his well-built body giving me a stern look. I quickly looked away from him. He is one of the people who has not been in support of me being here but still cannot get rid of me easily.
As I made my way through the stairs there was Catherine coming right down.
“Oooh no, not now Catherine I’m dealing with a lot of shit”. I said to myself.
Luckily for me, she didn’t utter a word but gave me a very stern look. I was so happy that she didn’t say anything to me as I didn’t want to hear what she had to say. I have so many problems on my plate already.
I opened the door of my room quickly and shut the door behind me, I didn’t want to talk to anybody because I was occupied with my thoughts on ways to hurt Ava, I didn’t think I could continue with her tantrums and killings, for me to succeed I need her and Jaxon out of the way and the only way I can easily do that is if I get Jaxon to kill her. I know I have to first get Jaxon out of the way before getting Ava, he is another issue I need to deal with.
“I’ll leave the mansion tonight and go to Jaxon’s place. Maybe we can agree when Ava is finally dead”. I said to myself.
I went into the shower to have a bath, because my life sucked at the moment, that is an undeniable fact. The water helped me to forget my pains but that lasted for only some minutes, after the shower, my pains and worries came back in double colds.
I waited patiently until nightfall, I sat by my window side and watched how the day got dark. I wanted it to get dark quickly as I wanted to meet up with Jaxon.
When it was finally dark I snuck around the mansion, to see if anybody was awake.
“Coast is clear, everyone is asleep”, I said to myself.
I went back upstairs and got dressed quickly. I locked the door to my room very slowly and I tiptoed so that I would not wake anybody. It was very difficult for me to tiptoe but I had to do it anyway.
I opened the front door slowly as I tried to walk out of the room I heard a voice from behind me
“Where are you going at this time of the night?”, Burke called.
