His Plan, My Execution

Chapter 14: I'm sorry.

The flashback of that accident is hunting me each night. I blame myself that Ryu lost his right leg.

After waking up in the hospital the next day I Toshi-nii told me about the events that took place after that.

Ryu was in a critical condition. Turned out he had 4 broken ribs, concussion and on top of that lost his leg. Went through epileptic shock 2 times and died once during operation.

I just had a twisted wrist and fractured ribs. I was shaking even in hospital after hearing the whole situation that took place when I fainted.

I understand that he eats 'grave danger daily' on breakfast but I don't need to serve him lunch.

Anyway... Waking up after having a flashback of that car accisent is the shittiest way to wake up. Maybe my emotional outburst while killing Fumihiro Natsu was somewhat affected by that and Ryu's situation? Let's not dwell on it. I need to get myself together.

As I am to get up off the bed I hear Ryu groaning and moaning in pain. He also has tendency to mumble out in his sleep words like 'Please Ka-chan, don't do it.' or 'I can' t kill him.' Whenever I heard those words, I felt bad for him.

Who is' Ka-chan'? Why is he begging him not to do something? And he can't kill? He is a ruthless and sociopatic monster that if he doesn't kill, he is sick. What happened to him?

I sigh... It's probably none of my bussiness. Nevertheless I sit on the edge of the bed from his side and gently trace random figures on his sweaty face and head.

After he calms down I do my morning routine and get dressed. It's time to get some s**t done.

~~After some time~~

"What do you mean you fired Itunaka-san? He was with me for a long time!! How could you do this without my permission!?" Ryu-san is shouting at me.

We are in his office and I fired one of his butlers. But I had a reason.

"My condolences that I fired him SIR. But I had reasons to do so." I use a slow and calm tone showing him that I don't feel guilty whatsoever.

"Oh really? Then enlighten me Miss." He said leaning in his leather chair.

"Toshi." I call him knowing he is waiting behind the door.

He walks in and hands Ryu a A4 envelope. Ryu opens in and scans the papers.

"As you can see I have evidence showing that Itunaka-san has met a quite suspicion person numerous times. And before you try and explain him. I checked that person as well. He is from the Merc Corp. I don't know who that person works for, but I am keen to find out as it may be connected to our car accident. Anyway. Back to the main topic. When I confronted Itunaka-san he was calm at first, but after a few threats and negotiations he told me everything. You have the recording of our conversation in the envelope. Is there anything else? Sir?"

I was boosting with confidence at this point. Toshi-nii was also smiling at me and Ryu looked deep in thought. Understandable since Itunaka-san was with him the longest.

"Do you know what informations he sold?" He said with a hint of irritation.

"Yes. The information held our plans, meetings and habits." I furrow my eyebrows whrn I say that.

Someone is definately trying to get ahead of us... But who?

"Alright, Xela. You can leave now. I will also look into this matter." He sighed and looked like wanted to say something else but didn't.

"Thank you. I will go to rest now." I bow and am about to leave.

"And Xela!" Ryu calls and I turn stiffly.

"Thank you."

I am frozen in the spot. Did he just thank me? The ruthless, cold hearted Ryousuke Kurotsu thanked me.

I look at Toshi-nii for some hint but he just smiles like a dig that just got a treat.

Maybe he is not as much of a monster as I thought he is.

I bow my head at him again and leave with a warm feeling in my heart and smile on my face.

~~Night time~~

Something waking me up again. And it is not my nightmare. Neither is it pain. It is someone's screaming and pleading.

Ah yes. I am sleeping with Ryu in our bed. But why is he tossing around the bed?

I wake up and get up. I start to panick as I see Ryu sweating buckets, tossing around as if he is trying to fight some force and screaming that he doesn't want to do something.

I get on top of him trying to hold him down. And I will say again. Trying. This man is an inch taller than me.

Neverthles and try to wake him up calling out to him and saying that everything is ok.

When he starts to calm down he starts to shed tears and repeats one sentence over and over again.

"I'm sorry."
