Chapter 1: L'appel du vide
Cheating, a term used to describe a thing or an action done by a person to get something or someone easily and get by with life.
Cheating is done by a person when they are either:
Trying to get a passing mark in exams, so you wouldn't get scolded by your parents, Hacking votes, to have a sense of false fullfillment (and if you are a sleazy politician, who wants to grab easy cash) trying to get back at someone, so that you could have their attention, even though they had it in the beginning, and many much more forms, that I don't care to enumerate right now; one thing is for certain though.
Any forms of cheating can and will be caught.
No matter how hard you hide it.
No matter how good you are.
No matter how smart you are.
No one can outrun karma, it will and always be caught on.
And that's the situation I'am in now, no matter how hard I tried, no matter how much I gave effort to it, no matter how much I pour my heart into it... I have been cheated with.
Who knew that she could do it, who knew how she'd done it, it was quick, it was fast, I have never caught on of what she have been doing.
Now I stare at my supposed wife... Sorry I meant ex-wife.
I thought she was genuine, I thought she was the one, I thought she is true.
Who knew?
Who fucking knew?
I stared at her, as I saw her fucking Hayama in the bed, they were being sloppy, mindless even.
Perhaps that's why I caught them? Because they were overcomed by the thirst of lust? Because they felt it was a challenge, on who gets busted?
But right now I don't care, and I banged the door to startle these dogs; and startled they are, in fear even as they saw my judging glare.
They were quick to cover themselves, they're even dressed, perhaps so that the other one could leave quickly? If so that means that they have been doing this for a while.
I steeled my glare
"Get the fuck out of my house Hayama" was the first thing I said.
"Hikigaya-san-" I cut him off and punched him in the face; he retaliated ,but I caught his hand and break it, he screamed.
"GET. THE. FUCK OFF. MY. HOUSE." I said again.
This time he weasled away, fucking coward.
"You" I said to my ex-wife "what the actual fuck?"
"Hachiman I can, explain" she said
"I'll give you ten minutes"I said, barely containing my anger.
And ten minutes passed, and silence was her answer.
Tears, now flowed down my eyes, broken my voice settled in a baritone husky to ask the most important question:
"Why?"
A minute passed and she gave her answer:"it's because, of all the things we did, after all the road we've been through, you didn't give me what I want"
Bull.
Fucking.
Shit.
Is this a prank? Is this even real? Okay where's the fucking camera?
"Didn't. Give. You. What. You. Want?" I said; and I laughed hysterically.
"I GAVE YOU A FUCKING HOUSE! I GAVE YOU A DAUGHTER! I GAVE YOU HALF OF MY EARNINGS! I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING!" I shouted, and continued listing everything I've done for her for a minute.
A minute full of me bleeding my heart out.
A minute of her trying to be pitiful.
And after that, I calmed down looked at her and said
"Get out of my house, this instance, we'll divide assets in a latter date" I said
"No Hachi please" she said
"GET!" I said
And she wailed
"You have no right to cry...please just get out" I said in a broken tone
"Daddy?"
I whirled back and saw my daughter
"Why are you hurting mommy?"
What?
"Honey please! Call the police! Daddy's hurting me!"
What?
My thoughts frozed for a moment.
'RUN YOU IDIOT!' my thoughts screamed; and I thus ran after her, and tried to explain her everything, but she reached the phone, and everything went down the drain from there.
Sirens came, the police tased me down, thinking I was hurting the child, I saw my traitorous wife sobbing and spinning stories, she caught my eye, and I saw it.
The look of someone victorious.
A smirk, a tiny smirk graced her face.
That fucking bitch.
Then I blacked out, waking up in a cell, which I spent eight months in, serving a crime I didn't commit.
Then the court came, which made my situation more worst.
Friends and family, have clamored justice for me, but we all know how things like these goes.
The strong overpowers the weak.
With her name, she manipulated court, with her tales, she gets the judge's favor, with her money, she bought 'evidence'
I was at the precipice of my depression.
And I was sentenced guilty, two years prison time, with all my hard earned assets going to her, even my sweet daughter, for a crime that didn't exist.
And two years have passed, with no one to cling too, no one to be my pillar, I found myself atop of the tallest tower, written with her family's name.
I hate her, very much.
"You hear me Yukino! I hate you"
Ironic, the woman who I thought would be by my side every step, led me to this very end, making me miserable, and leaving me for another.
I laughed.
And inched my steps near the edge; feeling L'appel du vide in effect, I stretched my hands out, and leaned.
Only to be caught by the one person, I didn't expect the most
"Listen first, before you make this decision, I'll make sure it'll make you worth your while" said the unexpected surprise, and backed away an inch
"I barely caught you in time, it's a good thing we have these fast elevator, do you know how hard it is to pinpoint you? You're off the grid!" She said with a smile
"Make it quick" I said sharply
"You want revenge? I can make it happen!"she said, with a devilish smile
"What makes you think I want revenge?" I asked her
"You hear me Yukino! I hate you!" She said, I widened my eyes, and with that she smirked devilishly.
I glared at her "that isn't enough evidence that makes me want it more!" I said, yet seemingly unconvinced with my own words.
"Please Hachiman, even I know how unconvincing you are right now" she rolled her eyes. She then breathed and looked at me with a willful glare.
"Look, I know what happened, believe me I would have tried and stopped her, if it weren't for me being sent to the west for no apparent reason, then freezing my accounts everywhere, because she knew that I would stop her, she even made the local government to have me in persona non-grata for four years, making me stuck in Tokyo for a while, preventing me to visit you and help you..." she then looked at the Chiba skyline "...so right now, I want nothing more but to hurt her, yet due to her new gained power; she is untouchable" she returned her gaze to me outstreching her hand "unless of course, if you were to help me, I would at least have a leverage...and an ally, a partner, a confidant" She explained
She walked over to me, retaining her outstretched hand, and every step widened her lips to a devilish smile
"So what do you say? Would you like to take back what has been cheated against you? Would you like to make this deal?"
And with that I weighed the choice presented to me, jump down to the call or make a deal with the devil.
Both are options that will make his life forfeit as it was, yet both interested him to no end.
An hour passed, thinking and weighing, rotating my gears in my head.
And then I made my descision, but first I have to ask her something.
"From what I've gathered, you don't really have a beef with Yukino except for a few minor hiccups,for a modern rich girl, so why do you want to help me?"
"Isn't it obvious?" She asked
I shooked my head
"Well, It's because I'm selfish, I want my power back; she stole the limelight, so I want it back"
"Mmhmm"
And with that I walked to my choice
"See you downstairs...Haruno"
"What do you mean?"
She didn't get my answer as I rushed to my chosen decision.
