Tyrone Argyros POV

"I really don't know what you're talking about." Claus said.

"Oh, but I know for fact that you know exactly what I'm talking about." I retorted angrily.

"Even if I knew I can't tell you anything, please sir, she'll kill me if she find out I disclosed anything." Claus said pleadingly.

I groaned. I knew he was right, but I still need to know what I was missing all this time. "And I'll kill you if you don't." I said.

"There's no way I'm getting out of this, is there?" He asked.

"None." I informed.

"Okay how about I give you a hint on where to get whatever information you want, but if Zelda finds out, you've heard nothing from me." He bargained.

"Deal." I agreed.

"Ask her cousin Deren Adams, I'm not sure he'll go against his coz whom he treat like a sister to tell you anything. But I say you give it a try." Claus advices.

"You can go now." I informed.

"Before I go, I'll tell you something Zelda will probably get my head if she ever knew I shared it." He said standing up.

"What is it?" I asked.

"It's not because of Angela she's distancing herself from you. She knew it wasn't your fault from scratch." He said.

I was shocked. Why would she act the way she did and still doing if not because of that. "Then why is she doing it if not for that?" I voiced my thoughts.

"That I can't say. I already said too much." He said before exiting the door.

Things just got more confusing, what the hell is happening to my wife, and what is the secret she's hiding.

Or should I say secrets.

It had been two days since she came to my room that night, and apologising, thinking I'm asleep. I'm trying to figure what was the thing she was apologising about.

Deren might be able to solve the mystery, and help clear my confusion.

Just when I took my phone out to dial his number that was provided by Claus. My screen came to life notifying me of an incoming message.

I opened the message.

I BET YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MONSTER YOU CALL A WIFE REAL COLOUR IS, SO LET ME ENLIGHTEN YOU. Those were the words attached above a video.

Few seconds passed with me thinking whether or not I wanted to see what the video contains. The date on it was the same day our children got in an accident, so I was a bit indecisive because I knew that this is about what she did to Angela.

Something deep inside me told me that I wouldn't like what I was about to watch, but I pressed play anyway, only to be shocked with the content.

Zelda crouched next to a tied, and bleeding Angela who was bawling her eyes out. "Oh, come on sweetie, I thought you want us to catch up on what happened to us since the last time we met." Zelda said in an overly sweet voice.

She burst into a maniacal laughter when Angela screamed and begged for her life with tears streaming down her cheeks when Zelda grabbed a gun and shot her in the knee. "Oh, shut up already. If someone heard you, they might think I'm torturing you or something." She patted her cheek lovingly.

"P- p- l- please, s- s- s- spare m-e, I'm begging you." Angela cried hysterically.

"Did you give my innocent children a chance to beg for their lives before running them over." Zelda's mood of fake friendliness turned to a terrifyingly stone cold, venomous, and calculating one.

"ANSWER ME!" She yelled demanding an answer when her question went unanswered.

"N- n- n- o." Angela replied shivering.

"Then, you have no right to ask for your pathetic life when you teamed up with them, and tried to ruin my family, not once, not twice but thrice, am I wrong, dearest Angela."  She answer.

"H- how d- did you know?" Angela asked disbelievingly.

"I know everything when it comes to my family. The one thing they keep forgetting is that I'm not the weak pathetic 20 years old girl anymore, but don't worry your disappearance will serve as both a lesson and a reminder that I'm not the one to be messed with." She said menacingly.

"Shall we continue our session then?" She said before heading to the other corner of the room and took what seems to be a bottle of perfume with some liquid in it.

"Do you know what this is?" Zelda questioned a barely conscious Angela, due to how much blood she lost.

When she shook her head Zelda said "it's my favourite perfume when playing with my victims." She smirked. "But I'll have to keep it for later because I don't want our fun to end just yet." She added.

"Lee!" Zelda called out, and a very muscular tanned middle aged man emerged from the shadows. "Help me hanging her over, so I can start the second phase of the game." She commanded.

"Yes, ma'am." The man said, and started doing just that while Zelda headed to a black box across from where her victim was being hanged, and picked a perfectly sharpened knife.

"Pick one, Lee. I'm giving a head start to the fun." She ordered.

Lee smirked before heading to the tools box. "Boss, wouldn't appreciate not taking a part in this." He said chuckling.

"His lost. He shouldn't pick a stupid meeting over this then." They conversed naturally as if they were talking about weather over a cup of coffee, and not talking about torturing someone to death.

He headed towards the hanged woman. "This will sting." He said before stabbing the knife through her abdomen, and slashed through until he reached her ribcage forming a long and ugly hole in his wake.

"Wow, that was fast. faster than I would have liked." She said. "Our friend there likes things to be slow, and seductive." Zelda said referring to Angela's words to her husband when she caught her trying to seduce him.

"My bad. I was too focused on my fun that I didn't pay attention to asking her how she liked things to be." He chuckled.

They conversed naturally not bothered by the screams and wailing of their victim.

This continued until Tyrone had to forward to two minutes before the video ends.

"Finally, the third and final phase of this game shall begin now. It's about time to use my favourite perfume." Zelda said sweetly to a half dead Angela. "Are you ready?" She asked.

She grabbed her hair, and turned her face towards her roughly before digging the knife in her thigh. "I don't think you heard me, dear. I said, are you ready?" Zelda said forcefully.

"P-l-e-a-s-e j-u-s-t k-i-l-l m-e a-l-r-e-a-d-y." Angela begged, but her pleas fell to a deaf ear.

"That's more like it. I know you want to try it, after all what kind of a woman doesn't like perfumes." Zelda said sadistically. "As for your request, it will happen in due time." She added.

Zelda tossed the woman's away from her, and stood up before grabbing the bottle and started spraying some of it on Angela.

A bloodcurdling scream resonated in the air from the woman's over-used throat. Zelda laughed loudly each time she sprayed the woman causing for her screams to be louder each time, if that was possible.

Tyrone didn't know which one was more terrifying and horrific, his ex-secretary screams, or his wife's maniac laughter and the crazed expression marring her features.

Soon after Angela's flesh stated decomposing.

Acid. Tyrone thought horrifically.

Her screams never stopped, each one more urgent the the one before. Pleading for her torture to end, for Zelda to have mercy on her, but her pleas were answered with nothing more than an insane resonating laughter in the room. One that dominated her screams.

Just before she was dead Zelda dug her dagger in her heart, and twisted it causing her more pain before saying "consider this as a lesson to never cross paths with me when we meet again in hell." Before she finally released her from her torture.

She stood from her crouched position, and headed towards the camera. "As for you, I'll be coming for you, and when I get you I'll show you exactly what the true definition of cruelty is. This-" she said pointing to Angela's body, or what's left of it. "-is just the tip of the iceberg of what I'm capable of. What I'm going to do to you is far worst than this, you'll be wishing to have never knew me." She said. "There's no place in earth that can hide you from my wrath. You provoked the wrong woman!" She concluded before splashing some of the acid on the camera marking the end of the video.

By the time the video ended I had more questions than before. My confusion just doubled.

This video was clearly a message, but for whom?

What did Zelda mean when she said that Angela tried to ruin our family thrice?

How come I never knew she was this ruthless? She was my wife after all.

I'm definitely going to have the answers I'm looking for one way or another, that too from my wife directly.

With that thought in my head I stormed out of my home office searching for Zelda.
