IRENE'S POV

"OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! I love this!" Jane yells starring at the few clothes I bought for her from Cuba.

"I'm not done. I'm not done. One more." I said before bringing out the lamp.

"I love you!!" She yells practically snatching it from me. I chuckle.

"Everyone does." I said flinging my hair back.

"Oh please." She said rolling her eyes playfully before staring back at the lamp. "Wow this is gorgeous. I haven't seen such creative lamp."

"I know right? I took it immediately I saw it. I love it too."

Jane sits next to me on her bed. "You must have had a lot of fun in Cuba."

"I honestly did. Sebastian was the best. He made every moment we spent there together special." I said remembering everything.

"Wow he didn't look like the type. You know with his cold face, ignorant act and scarry look."

"He is like that outside but when you get to know him you'll find out who he really is."

"I guess so." Jane said shrugging with a smile. "I'm happy for you." She says starring at me with a heartwarming smile.

"Thanks Janny. It's love wonders." I said shrugging.

"Well it looks beautiful on you."

"Awww thanks." I check the time on my watch. "I have to get going. I'm finally beginning work tomorrow." I said getting up.

"Seriously for a lady who has such a rich and handsome husband walking at a café? That's insanity."

"Oh please." I said, repeating the exact words she said earlier. "I'm going!" I yelled walking towards her room door.

"I'll just escort you out."

???

"Irene! Table 4 needs to take an order." I nodded at Gina and went towards table 4.

A month as passed by since our honeymoon and a month and a half since I and Sebastian got married. Since the week of our honeymoon, Sebastian makes sure to always make days for us to have times to ourselves. We have fun and enjoyed every moments together.

He comes after I'm done in the café to pick me up from work. The first time he picked me up was when most of my colleagues which are girls started to envy me. Lira and Elisa are the girls who would always glare at me and make my work hear a living hell. I couldn't take it anymore or even hide it from Sebastian anymore when I got frustrated. So I told him the day before yesterday and also told Jane of course.

But I haven't seen the girls today.

I took table 4 orders which was just a lady and a guy in their early twenties. They must be dating or friends, I thought to myself. They seem to have answered my question as the guy in short blond hair perks her on the lips.

I went back in and quickly take two plastic cups filling one of them with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup with a strawberry on top. I filled the other one with chocolate flavour and prinkles on top.

I put spoons on top and brought it to them in a tray.

My day went on till the end. Sebastian came to pick me up as usual. I got in his black Mercedes Benz.

"Hey." He greats gesturing his hand for me to lean in and kiss him. I chuckle and perk him on the lips.

"Hey." I greet back smiling.

"Tell me, how was work?"

???

"Irene."

"Yep."

"Have you heard the latest rumour about 'The Unknown'?"

Me and Jane are currently in my living room, still searching for a series to catch up on.

I look up at her. "I really don't want to know. The man scares me. He can't be found or defeated. Everything I hear about him gives me chills."

"I know right? Me too. He is so mysterious. They said he killed a whole family yesterday again. It was on the news. The neighbours heard about five gun shots and the next thing they immediately call the police when they saw him with his usual black mask. But they were long gone before the police came."

"Wow nothing changes. People just keep dying." I said.

"I know right. He burnt down a whole club with about ten people dead in it, almost two weeks ago now."

"Please can you just stop giving me news about the black mask dude. I might not sleep tonight with just another news about him. Please, seriously stop. I feel like I'm in some horror movie everytime I hear about him." I said frowning at her.

"He is just full of mystery. Was he sent from hell to destroy the world? Does he kill people for sacrifices to his God?"

Gosh! This lady just wouldn't stop.

I let out a sigh, rolling my eyes. "You are being ridiculous now. Can we just stop talking about monsters and start talking about actual human beings?" I asked.

"One more. Is it true that he killed his own sister?"

"Jane! Jesus! You are being delusional now seriously. I'll chase you out of my house."

"You mean your mansion?"

"Whatever." I said chuckling and shaking my head.

"So let's go clubbing. You're free today and tomorrow right?"

"No, I'm not going to any club. I'm married sister." I said showing her my wedding ring.

"Show off. Really since you got married we don't have much fun as usual. You know what?"

"Wha-" she cuts me off.

"I'll go clubbing tonight in search for a new friendship."

"Ha I'm very jealous." I said sarcastically. She growls.

"Agh! I hate you!" She picked up the pillow and threw it at me while I laugh my lungs out.

???

I sniffed and wipe off my tears with the tissue, starring at the TV.

The bell suddenly rings startling me. I let out a sigh and got up, pausing the Netflix movie I was watching. I wipe my tears completely. I can't believe I cried this much on a movie.

I got out of the door and Finn our security guard hands me a letter.

"A delivery man dropped this envelope." He says before bowing and leaving.

It must be another letter for Sebastian. I thought before reading what's written in front.

To: Irene Grey

Wait it's actually for me? I never get such letters. I shut the door and out of curiosity I quickly open tore open the while envelope taking out the folded paper. I immediately start reading.

Good day, isn't it Mrs Grey or should I say Mrs Unknown?

What? What is this? I thought before continuing reading.

Do you know who your husband is? Who he truly is? I don't think so. I'm a man who loves to expose people, find their darkest secret especially when it's my enemy.

Now, follow carefully, with this letter in you hand. Walk straight to your room and get in your walk-in closet.

I found myself following this instruction, curious to what this is all about. I quickly walk up the stairs like the person who wrote this letter is impatiently waiting for me to reach there. I finally got in my and Sebastian room. I went straight to the closet and got in.

The set of clothes filled with your dear husband's suits, check behind each of them for a red button.

I did as he told, checking each of them. Sebastian does have a lot of suits, about twenty. After checking behind and nine I almost gave up and decided this was probably a sick prank until I opened the tenth one. I let out a gasp. A found a red button behind his maroon coloured suit. Wait, how does this person knows this much about.....this?

With shaky hands I run my fingers on the red circle button. I look back at the paper continuing what I was reading.

Don't be scared their kitten and press the button, it's not your time to die yet.

I chuckle like I have gone insane. Yet? It's not my freaking time to die yet. I look back at the button and brought my shaky finger towards it. I finally pressed back the button.

I jolted as the wooden wall makes a long line going straight up and down, before slowly opening up. I slowly moved back.

This can't be.... I stare at the letter shocked, I was completely shaking.

I needed evidence to prove that your dear husband IS 'The Black Mask', 'The Unknown'. The criminal man you should be last seen with. If you love yourself and your family so much. You know what to do.

My hands were shaking so bad, the paper fell off my hand soundlessly to the ground. My legs couldn't hold me anymore as I use the wall to lean on, sliding all the way to the soft carpet on the floor. My hand went straight to my chest, clenching it to stop my heart beat from beating too hard and fast, It hurts.

Sebastian..

Sebastian...

I wouldn't stop thinking as I try processing it all in.

Sebastian, it can't be.

Sebastian....is the Black Mask.

Sebastian is The Unknown.

I stare back with fear at the huge glass infront of me sorted with about fifty black masks.

Sebastian....

"If you love yourself and your family so much. You know what to do."
