Tyrone Argyros POV

"Who is it?" I questioned the moment I entered the questioning room. I have to get back to the hospital as soon as possible.

I don't want to be away from them for a long time.

"I- I don't k- know what you're tal-"

"Let's skip the clichés, shall we?" I cut the severally beaten truck driver before he could complete his overly used sentence.

"We r- really don't know!" The other driver assured.

"Oh, you really want to go there, don't you?" I glared at the trembling men. "Very well then." I said rolling my sleeves up.

"Luca!" In a blink Luke was next to me with my kit. "I'm going to share with you a beautiful technic I learned from my beautiful wife, you know what that is?" I asked the bleeding me.

They shook their heads.

"WORDS!" I boomed.

"N- no, sir." They answered in unison.

"You'll know soon." I smirked. "Now who wants to be the first?" I asked casually looking at my kit, still not sure what to choose.

"I believe I asked a question." I added when they kept looking between each other instead of answering when they saw my weapon of choice. "And I expect an answer!"

"Him!" Again they shouted simultaneously, pointing at each other.

I chuckled at them, "then I believe I'll be the one to choose." Then I pointed at the truck driver, "you!"

It was all it took before he was screaming his lungs out for mercy. "I'll t- tell y- you, please just spare me. I have a wife and kids to look after." He pleaded clutching my trousers tightly.

"You didn't think of that before you crashed my wife and unborn children with your vehicle, so don't you fucking try to win my compassion with the thing you almost snatched from me." I boomed threateningly before shoving him away from me harshly.

I nodded towards my men to strap him on the chair, he was still screaming and thrashing violently. "Now, I don't have the time for pleasantries, so I'll get right to the point." I said, then dug the knife into his right eyeball before pulling it out violently along with the bloody eyeball.

He screamed like never before in pure agony. "You know my eldest son almost killed himself because he thought he lost his mom, my youngest's tears never dried since that day you decided money was above conscience, and my two princesses cry every night for their mother to put them to sleep, and my unborn children-" I dug the knife into his other eyeball, intensifying his bloodcurdling screams.

"You should be thankful it's just you that's going through this because if your dumb move had costed my wife's life, your family would be the ones that are screaming now, and you'd be forced to watch it before I end you too. Only it wouldn't be like this hurried session we're having now, it would've been much much more painful and slow." I said after pulling the knife out along with his other eyeball. "Now I shall introduce you to my dear wife's technic." I grinned at him despite knowing he can't see me, but I'm sure my voice described my enthusiasm. Then I ushered for Claus to bring me the bottle.

I sprayed some on his right eyeball first, and when I heard the agonised voices he was releasing, I did the same to the other.

The beast enjoyed the bloody scene before him, he wallowed in the tortured screams and whimpers of the one responsible for our loved ones agony, and I couldn't help but bask into it too. It gave out an insanely relaxing sense of comfort after the incidents of the past few months.

It may sound wrong, maniac even but I'm starting to regret ever caging the beast inside me. This dark side of me was- is the only thing that can relieve my stressed self, after my sweet wife and kids of course. Its wicked deeds are what defines me, and I'm going to enjoy hunting those responsible of the bad things my family had gone through.

They will wish to have never crossed paths with me, to have never awakened the darkness in me.

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

When the man's screams slowly started to die down, turning into faint whispers. I slit his throat slowly and painfully. Refusing to give him any gesture of comfort or mercy. He deserved none, not after watching my wife and kids slowly dying, favouring money on innocent lives.

Then I turned to the other horrified man that was on the other side of the room. "Changed your mind yet, or you still need another boost?" I arched an eyebrow at him.

"N- no, s- sir. Here y- you g- go!" He said forwarding his shaking hands with his phone.

"Is that all?" I asked suspicious.

"E- everything we d- did is recorded here. We've never met t- the person i- in person but I know it's a woman." He said hurriedly, still pathetically stuttering.

I snatched the phone from him harshly before handing it to Lee to see if what he said was true.

Minutes later Lee came back with the phone in his hand. "It's all in here, sir. We don't know the instigator's ID yet but I'm sure we'll be able to find out with all of these informations in here." He confirmed the man's words.

I nodded still looking at the shaking mess in front of me. "You're going to die either ways for your attempt to murder my wife, but since you cooperated willingly I'll let you choose the way you want to die." I informed.

"A- anyway is f- fine as long as it's quick, but can I ask one last thing?" His tone was sad in the last part.

I nodded in confirmation.

"Can you t- take care of my family? I was the only breadwinner they have." The man said tears spilling out of his eyes uncontrollably. Now that I have a closer look at him, he wasn't even a man, he was just a mere boy.

I was planning to take care of their family after I kill them without them asking, I wasn't that much heartless to leave a bunch of innocent people with nothing after I killed their only source of income. Even if they were the ones whom instigated my wrath.

I was never one to hesitate when it comes to paying people back or showing them why I was not to be taken lightly even if I was retired.

However when I looked at this little boy who couldn't be a day older than 20 years old. I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. I imagined my Egan or Eyton in his place. If we were less fortunate I know they'd do anything to make sure we have three meals a day, and I most certainly would have wished for me to have mercy on them.

So I retreated the gun from its position into my waist band. "You can go!" The kid widened his once tightly closed eyes in confusion.

"Really?" He asked incredulous.

I nodded.

"Why?"

I raised an eyebrow. "I can still change my mind if you want to!" I stated, amused by his reaction.

He shook his head furiously. "N- no, no. Thank you very much, sir. I'll do everything I can to repay your kindness." He said almost kissing my feet. I held him up before he could.

"You can repay me by start going to school regularly and excelling in it. You said you're your family's only breadwinner, but you can't do much to help them if you keep on taking this path. I'll fund your schooling, and I'll take care of your family for as long as it takes before you are able enough to support them wholly. How's that to you?"

"You'd really do that? For me? The one who almost killed your wife?" I nodded. "Yes, yes! Of course I'd love to do that?" He said enthusiastically.

I nodded before gesturing to Luca, "give him your and your family's information, he'll take care of it all." I said, then walked to him, patted his head slightly.

"I never want to see or hear that you're back on this path." I warned.

"Never!" He said determined.

I nodded and exited the room. My phone rung, I fished it out and accepted the call immediately when I saw it was from the hospital.

"Mr. Argyros, you have to come as quick as you can. Your wife is awake and is about to harm herself." The frantic voice of the nurse rung through the phone. I hung up and immediately raced to my car before speeding to the hospital.

When I reached her floor, doctors and nurses were outside trying to open the door while the noise of things breaking could be heard inside the room. I run to them, pushed them aside before speaking through the door.

"Zelda, baby, open the door. It's me Tyrone." I said softly.

Moments later the door flew open revealing a sight I never want to see again for the rest of my existence. Zelda stood there as broken and disheveled as ever. Her hands were trembling but still clutching tightly to her flat stomach. It wrenched at my heart.

"I've lost it, Tyrone. I lost our baby!" She said crying, then she looked behind me and her saddened look turned venomously lethal. She charged towards me with a small knife in her hand, still supporting the same look.

"BECAUSE OF YOU!" She screamed, only then I looked behind me to see Brandon standing there with a defeated look.

What the fuck is he doing here!

I caught Zelda before she could ram the knife in his heart. She started thrashing in my tight embrace, desperately trying to release herself but in vain. "Let me go! Let me kill him, I lost my baby because of him. Let me kill him or kill me!" She threatened and when I didn't let go of her, she tried to plant the knife in her stomach.

Luckily, I caught her hands and pried the knife from her hold, but she kept crying and repeating the same words as if it was a mantra to mend her bruised heart.

"You didn't!" I finally said.

Hey, lovelies! This update was supposed to be up few hours ago, but I was busy helping my sister babysitting my sweet Bambino (nephew). So I wrote an extra longer one than the usual. 😊😉

Anyways, I know I left you with another cliffhanger, but I'm sure you understood it anyway.

If not, I'll clarify it more in the next update. I try to update as frequently as I can because I know how waiting for an update for ages feels like.

Hope you enjoy it.

Don't forget to vote and comment.

Until next time, happy reading, my lovelies!

Mi-M-Ab.
