Jason Pov
Why? When did my life become hell? I never thought I would go through such mental breakdown in my life. From the moment I was born till yesterday, I never guessed I will feel such pain not physically but mentally. This is worse than I ever imagined. I could earn money from whoever or however but love we can't afford it with money right? so I was always proud that I have that.
Now I guess I don't have that anymore. What did I do to get this heartbroke? I never treated her ill or raised my voice at her even though she once didn't show up to our marriage. I forgave her when she explain her side. Even I divorced Kathy and married her. Then why did she leave me? Is it about my financial situation? She knows that if I make a phone call I could gain all in moment then why? Did she believe that I cheated on her? If she then she should wait for me to explain. Didn't she?
Why am I feeling like my heart gonna explode any minute soon? No! I can't sit here and mourn I need an explanation after living with her for over fifteen years. I stood on my feet, rushed down, and opened the front door. I got nailed at my place to see unexpected guest at my exit. I blinked twice without words, she smirked and asked, "Surprised baby boy?" I cringed at her nickname and frowned.
Without another word, she passed me and walked in. I sighed and towed her. She reached living room and sat on couch like a queen legs crossed, she was emitting some dark aura around her. She voiced, "So, won't you give something to drink?" I glared hard so she smirked and said, "I guess wrong timing" I cleared my throat and asked, "What do you want?"
She clenched her jaws, glared at me like she gonna kill me, and voiced through gritted teeth, "Will you give it?" I nodded hesitantly. She stood on her feet, get closer to me, poked my chest, and said, "Your Happiness" I frowned deep and asked, "What's your problem, Kathy? I did gave fair concession for divorce. You are the one who didn't accept it and disappeared without a word. Now you show up all of sudden and act like I did something terrible to you"
After hearing me she laughed like a maniac which gave me bad vibe. She stopped suddenly, yanked my collar and whisper, and yelled, "Yes you did but I will never allow you to find out what it is so you can live in hell without knowing reason, and by the way, happy divorce AGAIN baby boy" without another glance she walked out. I fell on couch with a sigh. What did she say, is that mean she is the reason why Claire divorcing me? God! Who is she? What she want?
My chew on my mind get snapped when my landline rang. I ignored it but it was ringing continuously so I picked up, I heard my friend, Luke, "Hey J, why were you not attentive to your phone man?" I clearer my throat and said, "Lu, usual place in five" before he respond I hang up and rubbed my face in frustration. After a minute I get on my feet, and change into black tee with a grey hoodie and black sweatpants. I put on Adidas and get a taxi to reach our usual bar named Phoenix. It's too late to have crowd so it's pretty empty with few people here and there.
I walked to bar counter, sat on a high stool, and ordered my favorite, after taking two sips I felt Luke beside me. He ordered his drink and asked, "What's wrong J?" I gulped my drink in one go and replied, "Claire signed divorce" He yelled, "What!" I just sighed so he continued, "Why? I thought you both were soul mates and meant to be type of love" I cleared my throat and voiced, "I guess we weren't "
Luke patted my back and said, "Tell me why? Let me come up with any solution" I hold the glass hard in my grip which made it shatter into pieces and said, "That's what I don't know." I stood on my feet, grabbed the bottle in front of me, and threw it to the shelf behind bar counter which made some bottle crash. I picked the stool and began to break everything my eyes fell on. My heart is pumping with adrenaline still I can't wipe out the pain in my heavy heart.
When I broke enough, I threw the stool across the bar and yelled at top of my lungs, "WHY!?" even after the disaster I made I didn't get any response from Claire or Kathy. My hands were bleeding but that's my last concern so I fell to my knees and groaned loud. I didn't feel this much pain when Claire didn't show up for our marriage for first time why now it feels like hell? Why am I even concerned about this? Wait! I can't tell myself a lie anymore.
I feel this terrible cause of fucking Kathy. What does she want now? Four years ago I really fall out of love with Claire, I began to love Kathy damn much with my soul but my pride doesn't accept that I fell for a mere little naive girl so I divorced her when I got a chance at Claire's return. But I didn't stop thinking of her even day for last four years. I searched her for a year after she disappeared. When I couldn't find her I am not myself so I shut down Claire for months after a certain period she got enough and fought with me so I stopped thinking of Kathy and go on with my life.
Now after all these years, she shows up suddenly not only stirring my heart but also spitting nonsense as I did something terrible to her. What did ever do? Giving her divorce is the worst thing I did to her, and even for that I gave her fair compensation, if she ever accepted it she would live life without any hardship. I know she loved me even so I dodged that thought. Did she go depressed? Suicidal? God!
My dire thought gets stopped when I heard Luke, "Jason Alexis" I snapped and met his concerned eyes. He hugged me tight, I processed for a few minutes what was going on. I am wailing on my knees bleeding hands. Six months of exhaustion and two days of dehydration took over me completely so all I glimpse began to blur. I felt dizzy and endless abyss engulf me.
I opened my eyes slowly, bright light making my vision struggle a little, I blinked twice gradually and opened them wide to see her AGAIN. I sat straight and asked, "What do you want?" she smirked again evilly and replied, "I already replied to that Baby boy" I cringed again at her nickname, made annoyed glance, and queried, "What are you doing here?" she sat on my bed and said, "I never thought you were such cry baby. I didn't even start yet you wept night to sleep. Poor baby boy"
I glared at her and clenched my jaws. She smiled too sweetly which gives a very dark aura and said, "Don't worry baby boy I will go easy on you until you are on your feet. Hmm?" I sighed and was about to voice, but she cut me and voiced, "Not the same question baby boy. I am bored repeating that. Get on your feet soon like a good boy so I can play. If not then get ready to face the consequences"
I frowned. She patted my head like I am some puppy and said, "See you soon baby boy" With that, she walked out that's when I realized I am in hospital room, IV unit saline connected to my knuckle. When I checked walls, I saw digital clock reading 6.10 A.M. I want to know who is she and why is she doing all this. I can't get another wink of sleep by thinking about her past and present selves. Is it really possible one can change this much within a few years? Is she really Kathy or is her imposter?
She goes by name Agni and Sean told that she is mistress of Dark Snake. I guess that's starting point. I wish Claire come back and at least give me some fucking reason for divorce. My thoughts get snapped when I heard someone opening the door, when I turned to exit I saw my parents. As usual, my mother being dramatic rushed to me, grabbed my free hand, and cried, "Oh my poor boy. I am so worried dear. What happened boy?"
Before I say anything my father voiced, "I heard you are going downhill" I rolled my eyes and replied, "I can stabilize myself with Kripto's project" He scoffed and said, "Which long gone to FRAZE" My eyes went wide, I licked my lips and asked, "How long I was gone?" my mother replied, "For two weeks dear" I yelled, "What?" my father cleared his throat and voiced in a stern voice, "It's time Jason. Enough of your playtime come back HOME" I sighed and said, "But Claire" before I finished, he cut me and said, "We Know, and you should sign back too"
I can't be his puppet again so I voiced, "Let me think" He shouted, "What to think more Jason? Whatever you had, all gone. What now?" I stood on my weak legs and yelled back, "Reason. And I am not little boy anymore to get scared so OUT" My father sprint out, and I stumbled back to bed. Mother patted my back and said, "Dear think carefully and chose wisely. Like you said you are not little boy anymore. I know you won't get scared but in this world that's not enough to get what you want so make scare all others of you. Even your father. Take over what's yours dear." she kissed the crown of my head and walked out.
I rubbed my face in frustration and groaned. What should I do now? I don't want to be king of hell. I guess my destiny never gonna change. No villain can be a hero. And now I don't have reason to be a Hero but I have reason to be Villain. I am coming for you, Baby girl.
To be continued.
