Third Person POV

"So tell me Draven why did you suddenly decide to abandon your hiding escapades?" Asked Zelda sitting on the chair she dragged in front of him.

"That whore sold my daughter just to have enough money to stay hidden, and I had to take her solace away, the same way she did mine." Her victim answered.

"But why surrender yourself? You could have reported her alone, instead of being captured with her." She asked curiously.

It was surely odd how Zelda was asking about the reasons her victim chose to surrender and get killed instead of fleeing, and Draven too found it weird how instead of torturing him she was having a conversation with him because he was sure as hell this wasn't how Angela's little session went.

Zelda was brutal, ruthless, formidable, and straight to the point when it comes to delivering well-deserved penalties.

Nonetheless, Draven decided to answer her. "Because I deserved it too. My daughter was sold, and might very much being tortured as we speak. All of this happened right under my fucking nose, but I was too blind, too trusty to see any of it." He said with both venom and remorse while watching his whore of a wife, as he kindly describes her.

Dana however was shaking with fear, fear of anticipating what Zelda would do to her the moment she's through with Draven. She was hoping to show her mercy for the sake of her kids, but even that tiny little crumble of hope disappeared into thin air when she saw the dark look in her eyes.

"Very well. I shall help you, then." She said standing up from her position. "Lee!" Zelda called.

Lee immediately went to her side when he heard her calling him. "Take care of him." She ordered before she went to her other prey. The one she really loathes from the bottom of her heart.

"Hello, darling!" Zelda mocked while heading to her whips collection, and choosing a very thin one with some sharp edges on its ends. The women's face soon drained of all colours when she saw it, and started stuttering.

"Oh stop being such a drama queen, it won't hurt that much," Zelda said chuckling at the women's misery. "I think." She added laughing her wits out at the increased shaking of Dana's body.

She snapped the whip in the air causing for its sharp sound to echo around the room, the woman screamed at the top of her lungs. "HELP!" Zelda laughed more.

"You really think anyone here would dare to go against me to help a gold digging whore like you?" She asked incredulously. "That's just plain dumb, even for you." Zelda added.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The woman kept chanting in her broken voice that she almost sounded pathetic.

"What for, darling?" Zelda asked in mock softness.

"I s- shouldn't have p- planned to have your kids killed." She answered.

"And?" Zelda urged.

"And I shouldn't have payed that truck driver to kill your husband." She confessed.

"Go on!"

"And that's al- ahh." She screamed in pain. It was like her back was splitted into two with thorns.

Zelda whipped her hard making sure to angle the whip so it's much more painful than usual. "That's all, really?" She asked.

"I- I- I don't k- know." The woman stuttered through pain.

"Oh, but you should know, after all you tried to get to my husband through my son." Zelda seethed. "Did you really think I would allow you to take my family away, even if Tyrone gave any chance?" She asked whipping her again, harder.

Dana screamed in pure agony, her knees buckling beneath her. If not for the restraints she would have collapsed on the ground.

"Then you had to sell my Acacia, such a pure soul to the devil, you're such a heartless bitch." She said.

"P- please just spare me! I'll disappear from your life and never come back, I swear. You'll never ever see or hear of me ever again." The woman pleaded, not even realising Zelda's last sentence. Her mind was focused on one thing, that is to escape from that hellhole.

"Really?" Zelda asked considering her plea.

"Really, I swear." The woman nodded furiously the moment she saw a bit of emotions in Zelda's eyes.

"NO, THAT BITCH DESERVES NOTHING BUT ROTTING IN HELL." Screamed a voice behind her. Zelda looked behind her to see Lee whipping the man harder for speaking without permission. "Please, she sold my little princess, she handed her to those bastards without blinking." The man pleaded weakly through the beatings he was receiving.

"Okay, then." She said completely ignoring the man behind her. She nodded towards one of her men. "Untie her." She ordered.

The man did that immediately. Dana was happy that she was able to convince the ruthless woman in front of her with her freedom.

Draven on the other-side was thrashing hysterically against the restrains to keep Zelda from doing such a mistake, to get his little girl's revenge with his own hands. Not even realising that Lee stopped his beating.

Zelda escorted Dana outside to the yard of the mansion her cousin, Deren gave her to do her dirty laundry in.

The woman caught a glimpse of something red in the pool, and her curiosity got the best of her. "What's that in the pool?" She couldn't help but ask.

"Do you want to see?" Zelda asked.

Dana just nodded her head, eager to know if it's some kind of lights colouring the pool. However she failed to notice that it was too thick to be water, and that there was no light coming out of it whatsoever. The only lights illuminating the pool were those of the mansion and pillars surrounding the pool.

Zelda led her to the pool, and when she stood on the verge of it she gasped out loud realising what it was. However it was too late.

"You failed." Zelda declared before pushing the woman to her worst nightmares. Dana screamed as soon as her body collided with the bones mixed in the thick sticky liquid.

"P- please don't tell me it is-"

"Oh, but it's exactly that." Zelda replied.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

On the other side of the house, in the torture room Lee was having trouble containing the man who became ballistic the moment the women existed the room.

"For fuck sake, calm down and look at the screen first." Lee yelled at Draven.

"Why would I? You let that women go when her real place is in the depths of hell for what she did to her own blood and flesh. To my little daughter." The man screamed at him with the same angered tone.

"Did you really think Zelda is that forgiving? That all it took was few tear drops and she'll forget whatever that bitch put her family through?" Lee questioned trying to knock some sense into the man's head, and he succeeded for the man ceased his every movement.

Draven looked up at the screen to see the most horrendous scene ever. "Guess who's blood is that?" He heard Zelda asking an almost drowning Dana.

Dana just kept screaming for the guards help, for them to have mercy on her. "No need to be over enthusiastic for I shall tell you." Zelda replayed as if the woman asked her, as if they're having a civil conversation over lunch or something. "It's your little friends'." She informed.

"I hunted each and every one of the gang you sold my little pie to, and when the judge let them go despite my warnings, I hunted him down too. Each and every person responsible of my little princess' misery, her bruises, her tear stained chubby cheeks. All of them are there in that pool with you. I slit their fucking throats with my own hands, emptied their blood there, skinned them, and poured their fucking remains in there after slicing them into small unrecognisable parts. All except one. You." Zelda said pointing her knife at her victim.

"But don't worry because you'll join them soon." She assured standing up.

"W- who the f- fuck is this Acacia?" Dana asked.

"The little girl you dumped into an orphanage full of child-selling pricks. My daughter Acacia Tyrone Argyros." Zelda informed standing up. "Dan watch her." Zelda ordered one of the guards who were gawking at her.

Her ruthlessness was something admirable in the mafia world, even though she hated it with passion, others could kill to have it. Because in the mafia world you don't just get acknowledged because of your family's background. You have to prove yourself, and Zelda has proved herself, even if all of this was done to protect her family. It was seeing by everyone. Every single mafia family out there know of her now, some of them are even relieved that she isn't in the mafia, that she chose a different road because with her skills and looks she could bring a whole army down in a blink of an eye.

Her revenge is being monitored closely by the whole mafia world because she is one of the Adams. People thought she was nothing but a naive disgrace to them, one who was manipulated by her own husband and lawyer, but she's proven them wrong without even realising it.

"SHE'S MY DAUGHTER, I CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT WITH HER. WHO THE HELL GAVE YOU THE RIGH TO PUNISH ME FOR WHAT I DO TO MY KIDS!" Dana bursted angrily.

"BECAUSE SHE'S MY SON'S SISTER, AND SHE'S MY DAUGHTER NOW." Zelda boomed, her eyes' colour shifting to a dangerous shade making Dana flinch. "No one messes with my family and goes away with it." She completed. "Have a nice swim, and if you even think of swimming out of there before I tell you. There will be consequences." She threatened.

Draven stood there watching in awe how can someone be compassionate and merciful on their own enemy's daughter, how can she be more of a mother to his daughter than her own biological slut of a mother.

No wonder her eldest worships her, she is indeed a great woman. He was glad his little angel was lucky enough to have a woman so perfect, so motherly like Zelda as her mother.

"P- please g- get me out of here." Dana pleaded at Zelda's retreating back.

"Stop acting like a pathetic whore, I already showed you enough mercy when I stopped whipping you. I was even about to set you free, but you were the one who brought yourself here. Now you have bear the brunt of your actions." Zelda said.

"You were testing me?" Dana asked.

"And you failed miserably. Curiosity does kill the cat, even though it has nine lives." Zelda mocked still walking away.

"P- plea-"

"Stop it. I don't have only you to entertain, my husband and kids need me too, you know." She informed. "Now be a good little slut, and stay there until I come back in a day or two. You can die if you want just don't even think of coming out, my men will shove your ass back in." She warned. "Dan, make sure she doesn't go out of the pool, even if she chokes on blood or faints. Keep her there until further instructions." She ordered in a stern voice.

"Yes, Mrs. Argyros." He complied.

"And make sure the others' noblesse oblige don't kick in because trust me they wouldn't like my not-so-kind face." She warned. Dan and the others who were standing with him gulped in fear before nodding. They knew she wasn't bluffing, and they didn't want to face her wrath over a piece of shit of a child-selling slut.

When she re-entered the torture room, Draven was still cuffed to the wall, but he was supporting an admiring glint in his eyes. "Un-cuff him." She ordered Lee.

She stripped her jacket off, and attacked him the moment his limbs were freed from the cuffs. He tried to dodge as much as he could, and when he couldn't he opted to defend himself, but all that was in vain.

She was faster, and much more stronger than him. Her kicks and punches were clean and calculated, and only when he finally fell on the ground did she stop.

When he tried to sit properly, she fished her gun out of her waist and shot him thrice. Two in each shoulder, and one in his stomach. However none of them hit a fatal point, they were aimed to pain, not to kill.

"That was for contributing in harming my family, now you're only spared because I don't want my daughter to grow up knowing I killed both her parents, especially if one of them loved her." She explained her actions.

"Bu- but I could betray you, why spare me?" He asked.

"I pride myself on my keen observation, and I'm a good character judge. I wouldn't spare you if I knew you could impose a threat on me or my family in the future." She said. "Now go, for you're a free man." She said.

"Please, I would like to repay you." He said catching her leg when she turned to leave.

"You can repay me by living a decent life, don't make Acacia ashamed." She said.

"No, I want to be your bodyguard, please. That way I would be able to repay you, and be in my daughter's life in the same time." He pleaded.

"You're not allowed to reveal yourself as her father until she's twenty. That way she'll be able to decide if she wants you in her life or not." She informed.

"Does that mean you accept?" He asked. "Not when you're this weak, you can't be my bodyguard." She said. "Lee will train you for a year, then we'll see if you're capable or not." She informed.

"Thank you. Thank you so much." He said, tears of gratitude and happiness falling on his cheeks.

"Don't thank me. Just make sure to work hard if you want to stay in your daughter's life, because if you do you will have nineteen years to warm her up to you." She motivated. "Though you won't take her away permanently because she belongs with me, her father, and siblings. But you'll have the honour to call yourself her father because I will make sure she becomes a great woman in the future." She said.

"I will definitely do my best. Thank you so much, Mrs. Argyros." She promised.

She nodded before picking up her jacket off the floor, heading to the garage, getting into her sports car, and speeding home. However what she failed to notice was that the mansion's cameras were all hacked, and that she was being monitored the entire time.

The other person however seemed a bit shaken up, especially after the scene with Dana. A pang of fear and anxiety settled deep in their heart, and something inside was nagging them to quit whatever the fuck they're planning.

However their greed blinded every other senses they have.
