Accidental Ruination

Chapter 12| Hollows.

DYLETTO.

     She was gone, I did not chase after her. what is the best way to torture your enemy?  Take everything that makes life an option for them. I knew then that the Aya Maria at my wedding was not the real one, and my thoughts we're further confirmed when I saw that dead body.
Murdered herself my foot, I scoffed.

"Are you okay? " Madale asked beside me.

I glanced at her, then away. "Is there something you want? "

" N-no, " the shameless woman Stuttered.

"Why are you still here then? " Ashton interjected, yes. He hated Madule yet he hated Madale more, I could understand, unlike Madule, Madale is a whore.

"You should just leave, " Madule was seated with us, yet she had not said a word, we do talk much since the wedding, though she would space out a lot and when asked what was wrong. She would reply with her usual lines.

I pinched the bridge of my nose, annoyed to say the least , besides, I had other important things to do than to stay and listen to Ashton and Madules."I am leaving," I informed, downing the remaining liquid in my glass of wine.

" If you forget our appointment once again,I swear to God Dyletto,I will be sure to murder you," Ashton threatened. I sighed, gave him a nod and headed out of the club, when I stepped out of the club, I pick up my phone and dialed Max's number.

"Hey bro, how you doin?" He said the moment he picked my call.

"I found her," I informed.

"Her? Who?"

"Don't fucking start with me Max, " I massaged my temple.

"Oh, oh, her- you mean!, Sweet Jesus!" He exclaimed," what is her name?,where did you find her? How is that possible? I have been searching for years now!"

" I didn't find her, she found me,"

" What will you do now? "

"What else?" I smirked," start with the plan, I want her to loose everything of her bit by bit, find every dirty thing you can on the name Stacey Normans and the brand Stedmia, I want nothing left out,"

I could see myself in the windshield of my car, I looked nothing like I once did, perhaps this was because of the fatigue weighing me down, things had changed in four years, my Dad and I were worse, I could not look my Mom in the eye anymore. I had not been home on two years, not that I would be welcomed anyway, bedsides, I just couldn't bear the look on mother's face every time we met.

Pity?. I scowled, I didn't need pity, I didn't need my father's hatred, most of all, I didn't deserve them, someone else did and I would make sure of it, I would make her seven time more miserable than she made me.I took my eyes from my shattered look, to the road outside the club, I was about to look away when a familiar face sent me spiraling to it's direction.

I knew I was being decieved by my fatigued brain, that my lack of rest had gotten to me in the end, yet, the possibility, just a little possibility that what my brain was processing into my pupils were indeed true had me increasing my pace, until I grabbed hold of the form. Brown eyes turned to me in shock and disappointment washed over me the next instant.

" What are you doing!" the lady exclaimed, moving from my hold like I was a plague, her hands went to her waist which she clutched hard.

"W-who are you?" She stuttered, just like 'she' did before the accident, after everything changed.

I retracted my hand, " ah, I apologize for my unethical action, I must have mistaken you for someone," I informed with an apologetic smile.

Her rigid body relax as she returned the smile," I am sorry but am not her," she replied, moving a bit from me.

" I apologize once again for my in appropriate behavior, "

" It's alright, I understand, I seem to look like a lot of people since I get mistaken a lot, but it's alright," she smiled. I apologised once again then went my way, it was not the first incident in the last four years where I mistake a total stranger for my little sister. Any lady in a black sundress just reminded me too much of her and my outwardly sharp eyes did me no good when it came to differentiating them from her.

I rubbed my temple, now sitting in my car, anger coursing through me, she had been in coma for years now." Ugh," I groaned, when I realized my phone had been ringing in my suit pants left pocket and I set out fighting with the pocket in digging it out until I realized it was empty and the phone was on the left pocket instead.

When had I left it there? I groaned and digged it out of my left pant pocket, " what is it," I demanded the moment my meek secretary's voice evaded my head.

" Sir, you have a meeting In the next thirty minutes, I had been trying to get to for an hour now, the meeting is with an important client sir," I imagined the stupid nerd pulling up his round glasses as he anticipated my answer.

" Why didn't you inform me earlier?" I glanced at my wrist clock, I only had thrity minutes to arrive at my company which was two hours away from here, just how long had I been lost in my own thoughts?

" I-i did sir, but you weren't picking any of my call-"

I cut him out with a groan, " just shut it already Ryan, prepare for the meeting, I am on my way, I will need you to stall them for thirty more minutes,"

" But sir-"

" I don't see a need to repeat my words Ryan, do as I say," I snapped.

" Yes sir," His words disappeared into the silent ding of my cellphone as I cut the call and started the engine of my car.I hated the fact that I was loosing myself, I had never been this harsh to my employee, at least not as long as I remember. Fraustration, yes fraustration was the main of my problems at the moment, that Woman had ruined it all for me.

It was like I was loosing my mind. It took me an hour to arrive at my company, thanks to the many speed and driving violations I had committed.That would be dealt with later, I thought as I walked into the conference room where my clients or should I say guest were held.

" Mr Gitsby, it is a pleasure to meet you," I shook hands with the man in a suit brighter than any I have seen, who wears a pink one piece suit to a business meeting? Though shocked and amused to say the least, It did not make a change in my expression.

" For keeping me waiting this long, you better have a good explanation for it ," he said, in the most grumpy expression I had ever seen.

" Yes, I do have an explanation for that but first, shall we sit gentlemen!" I said, leading them to sit . Ryan made a point in adjusting the chairs just how I liked it, he was getting better at his Job, I gave him an approving look as I passed by him. He had done well putting up with me for as long as he had which, was pretty much longer than my brain could comprehend.

" So, gentlemen," And the meeting began, a mix of extrospection and heated conversations as I tried my autmost best to win my clients heart. Five hours later and I am in my home, holding my head as the most painful headache evaded my head, this was more worse than those I had on a daily basis.

I rummaged through my drawer for the drugs I couldn't keep away until I found them sitting beneath my bed. As the drug fixed itself into my system, I found myself thinking of all the what ifs if the world, yet one, one would not leave my mind.What if I had been a good son and brother? one not lost in his discovery? one who was able enough to protect his family? Then would it had all been different?

The drug did it's work and I was back on my feet, ready to make myself dinner, there were many things I played with, food was not one of them.At least it filled the hollows in my stomach, I rummaged through my kitchen in search of a reasonable dish that would feel my appetite, at least one that I could make.

Not the usual cereals I had when my live out maid wasn't around.And like that I spent a whole hour doing nothing useful to my emotions except it did everything for it.
