Turning into Ash

Chapter 6

She left the graveyard and I was left with Eliza. I don't know but I feel bad for Alice. I feel the ping of hurt on my heart when I saw her shrieking and crying. But whenever I remember what she did always make my blood boil.

I wish it was a dream. I wish that some witch would cast spell on me making me delusional, but that was not the case, here my past never stops haunting me. Whenever I go I can't stop it from invading my thoughts and ideas. Eliza is everywhere. It's like I'm stuck there. I'm stuck on the moment Eliza died. Her smile, giggles, beauty always amazed me and it's like she's with me and watching over me.

I sat near her grave and kept flowers where her name was engraved. The silence was thicker then it ever had been. I miss her a lot.

Hey Eliza,
How are you? I know you must be at very greatest place because you deserve it. You have tolerated a lot in your life and when there was time for you to have happiness and joy, you were killed. More precisely you were brutally killed Eliza. I miss you Eliza. I wish you stay happy and at peace there. Because I'm avenging you my loved one.

I love you a lot. Take care and sleep tight my dear one.

My voice broke at the end and tears formed and fell out of my eyes. I remember her smile and it made me smile also. She was an angel. Gone too soon!
I hope I'm not making you upset Eliza by doing this with Alice because she deserves every bit of it.
My jaw clenched when I remember that what she did in court when I brought this accident case in court in order to seek justice for Eliza.

After a week of mourning over her death. All I wanted was to avenge her. I want to make the life of the person hell who killed my Eliza. I investigated her case, as being a lawyer I have my sources. I got to see the footage of the incident which was recorded by a street CCTV camera. I got to see the killer of my fiancé. She was Alice Miller, the top ranked model. I saw that she hit Eliza with her car and she called someone, Probably an ambulance. But what shocked me was that she left Eliza over there in that condition. How she can be so inhuman? Her own condition wasn't good either. She was very scared and frightened. She must be scared for her reputation. I scoffed thinking about it. I filed a case against her. What she think that she'll kill my fiancé and get away from it? I won't let that happen Alice.

It was hearing day of the case and I knew I would win the case as I had the footage which would prove her guilty and ruin her future. I just can not wait for her to be ruined. I want to destroy her life like she did mine in fraction of seconds.

I saw her approaching the courtroom with her own style. She was wearing glasses and she was ready like she's coming to any modeling show. And seeing her fit and fine when my life was utterly destroyed made my blood boiled. I wanted to claw her face till she begs me to stop. I wanted to scratch that face till she bleeds. That's how much I have started to hate her. She deserves hatred. She caused me a lifetime pain but what did she think that she can get away from this easily? No. I won't let her.

That's when I decided to serve Eliza justice by having Alice's facing her demons and eradicating them once and for all.

The hearing started and I was given the time to show my evidences that I had against Alice.

"Now, I would like to show the video of the CCTV footage which would prove that Alice Miller is guilty of killing a innocent girl." I said to the court and gave a despised look to Alice way. She bend down her eyelashes.

Be ready to see your destruction.

The video started. Now all I wanted was court to condemn her for Eliza's murder. But when I saw the video, my eyes popped out of the socket as it was not what I saw earlier. It was a half corrupt video which was not showing any proof of accident. How is this even possible when I was the one who saw it and saved it for this day?

NO. NO. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!

"Mr. Ashton, what's this? Are you not aware of the rules of not wasting time of Court? This is not even a proof against Miss Miller." Judged replied with hint of disbelief and anger.

Are you serious? Why I would be wasting time of court? I wanted to lash out at everybody.

"My lord! I had checked the video before which was clearly showing that Eliza was hit by Alice car!" I shouted and wanted the court to believe on the truth which was destroyed.

"Objection My lord! This court believes on proofs not stories. Mr. James is deeply grieved because of his fiancé death. He is accusing my client without any reason and causing her defame. There is no proof of my client hitting Ms. Eliza and he dragged her in court just to tarnish her reputation." The defensive lawyer said with pride.

"That's not true! Someone has corrupt my proof! I have seen it with my own eyes! Please believe me." I yelled, wanted court to believe me, the truth.

But my life ditched me when it was announced that Alice was not found guilty who was actually a murderer and caused Eliza her life. He had so easily stripped me off my rights, my identity and turned me into a mad man accusing a girl for his fiancé's accident.

No this can't be happening.

My eyes filled with unshed tears. I was filled with rage and fury. I dared to look at her only for me to paralyse her with my gaze which was making wholes in her body and burning her into ashes.

She ran away from the courtroom along with her lawyer who was smirking at me most probably mocking me that how easy it was for him to win the case against me.

I run after her who was quickly approaching her car, I shouted and stopped her. She halted. She turned to see me and I could see her guilt through her eyes. Her eyes were showing the picture of merciless killer. My penetrating glare was enough to knock out the breathe from her lungs.

"You won today because of your fame, wealth and power. You killed my fiancé. You are going today freely but I promise you that I will make your life a living hell. I will make you regret the day you were born. You will curse the day you killed my lady. You with your power destroyed all the proofs but I promise you, you will feel the same pain and go through same situation that my lady had gone through that night.." I was about to complete but she ran and sat in her car, she ran only from my verbal planning and threat.

Be ready for what I will do to you Ms. Alice Miller. I went from there.

I always was a person who believed in justice but it was rightly said "beware of the fury of a patient man" Now I will become three things that I never was; heartless monster, cold blooded killer and ruthless assassin.

Remembering this brought tears to my eyes. That day I promised to bring destruction in her life. I wanted to devastate her and I did. I've done what I promised to you my dear Eliza.

I promised Eliza that I'll come soon to see her and I left the graveyard. I went out and I saw that there was a girl who was walking aimlessly out of the graveyard into an alley which would lead towards the main road. She was Alice. She was looking very devastated. Her face was blank and emotionless and she was looking so pale. She was walking like a dead person who's forced to move.

That's the last time I saw her and after that day she didn't leave her home for a month.

I wonder if she is okay? Should I think this?

I did right by destroying her, didn't I?
