" I will let you go." Matilda says to the spy.

"Oh thank you ma'am. Thank you." He says.

Matilda puts him down and he starts running down the stares to zoom out of the house but just as he gets closer to the exit Matilda suddenly appears there causing him to scream and then fall back on his butt since he wasn't expecting that.

He starts moving backwards while still on the ground and his eyes fixed on Matilda.

"I said I will let you go and I will but it comes with a condition." Matilda says to him.

"What is the condition?" He asks.

"Look onto my eyes." Matilda says.

The eyes of the spy stared at hers and she stared back intently. When she finishes what she was doing then the spy comes back to his senses and shakes his head.

"What are all these things in my head?" He asks, feeling scared out of his wits.

"Those are the things you will tell the man who sent you here. And if you even think of double crossing me my well, you know what happened to your accomplices." Matilda says.

She moves away from the door and the spy gets up and runs away.

"These foolish and weak creatures. They have no power and are scared of every little thing. Pathetic." Matilda says to no one in particular.

... At the billionaire's castle...

"What is wrong with those spies?! They are supposed to be here waiting for my return not the other way round." Alberto says, angrily pacing left and right in the Main Hall.

He checks his wrist watch again and again and getting more annoyed at each minute that passed without any information from the spies.

He brings out his phone and is about to dial the number of the leader spy when two guards suddenly walks in with one of the spurs between them.

"You two may leave." Alberto says to the two guards.

The guards leave and Alberto turns his angry face to the spy, now unmasked, an glares at him.

The fear of what he had experienced in Matilda's house still haunted him but he tried his best to come ordinate himself.

"Idiot! Am I supposed to be the one waiting for you?!" He yells.

"I... I'm sorry for the... Inconveniences sir." The spy replies.

"Shut up! There's no excuse for your foolishness! And where the hell are the others?!" Alberto yells again.

"They couldn't come. They both had emergencies from home to attend to. So I came here alone." The spy answers.

"What?! What rubbish?! I paid them for a full job! Not to send someone else!" Alberto says.

"Call them right now and tell them both to come!" Alberto orders the spy.

"Pleyjust pardon them sir. You can take out of my pay if you want to." The spy begs, in order not to get in trouble with Matilda.

Even when he is far away from her he could still feel her eyes on him. He remembers the way she stared intently into his eyes and wish she had wiped that part of his memories out as well.

"That depends on if the information you give is of any use to me." Alberto says and crosses his arms on his chest.

"Begin." Alberto says.

"We looked around her house and found pictures of her and her parents. She is their only child and through the obituary papers we saw in her drawer we found out that her parents are now dead. There is a wish of theirs and that is for her to get married to a man capable of taking care of her and she should build her own family." The spy says to Alberto."

Alberto strokes his chin when the spy was done speaking.

He gave it some deep thought and wondered how it could work in his favour.

"Of course!" Alberto exclaims after getting a good enough plan.

"Leave." He says to the spy and the spy turns away and leaves the castle.

"All I need to do is woo her. Make her feel like I'm the right choice. After all, I am capable of taking care of her. Yes! I will win this bet sooner than later." He says to no one in particular.

... Matilda in her room...

"Haha haha ha! Did you really think you would get away from me that easily?!" Matilda says, looking into her crystal ball.

She looks like a mad witch as the crystal ball highlights some parts of her face dimly in the dark room.

She monitors the spy she had let go of as he walks of his way home and then takes a taxi.

The spy pays the taxi and gets in and Matilda laughs hysterically.

"Pessimam mortem tibi dabo quam duos amicos tuos! Nunc pereat um- quam tu genus omne vocas.

Quo facto, morietur cetera!" Matilda says, casting a spell in our the ball.

She watched blood thirsty as she awaits her spell to take effect.

... The spy's house...

The spy comes out of the taxi and goes to his house. He knocks at the door and his wife opens it.

"Welcome home hun." She says and kisses him on the cheek.

"How was work today?" She asks.

"Work was great." He replies, feeling guilty because he knew its a lie.

"Daddy!" His young son of six years old runs and hugs him.

"My boy! How was school today?" He asks as he carries his son and goes fully into the house and sits in the kitchen.

His wife closes the front door and goes to the kitchen as well.

Their dinning room is in the kitchen.

His wife continues to cook as she was doing so before he returned home.

Then suddenly and unexpectedly, a knife flies pass the spy's face just inches close to the tip of his nose.

He jolts up on his face as he stared at the knife stuck on the wall and then back at his wife who then gives him a deadly stare and makes an evil grin.

The rate at which the spy' s heart beat increased as he saw the way his wife behaved.

"Carla? What... What is wrong with you?..." He asks hesitantly.

The spy suddenly feels a strange pain in on his hand and immediately jerked his hand away from his son.

His son had been drawing blood from his hand and now had his mouth covered in blood.

The blood in his son's mouth still kept dripping drop by drop as his son and wife walks towards him slowly and he starts to move backwards.
