"I am not leaving you or else you tell me where you had hidden that treasure!". He shouted back at her as he held her hair tightly on his palms.
"I rather die than reveal it to you, not until you tell me where you had kept my son". Alice retorted.
"Well I can see that you are no longer afraid by asking me about your worthless son. How many times do I have to tell you that your son is dead and is no longer coming back!". He yelled at his wife again.
"Liar!". Alice shouted back at him.
"Oh you want to slap, come on go on, do it. Let me know that you have gone mad. Come on go on!". Ken said as he held her hand while pushing it closer to his face as if he wanted her to slap him.
"Get your hands off me, tell me that you have successfully killed our son just because of some treasure". Alice said with tears all over her face.
"Woman?, what are you saying, that treasure holds the key to a good life. It has the power to make me a ruler of this whole vicinity and you dare call it 'some kind of treasure?". Ken said setting the point straight.
"I have it!". Alice said immediately ken freed his hands from her hair.
"Then hand it in!". Fred requested with his bloodshot eyes raging with fury. He is ever ready to kill just to get his hands on the treasure.
"No, not until you tell me what happened to our son". Alice said boldly and clearly as she tried to hold her tears back.
"Well, let me make this clear. You son, I mean our son is dead. He was shot dead by the kidnappers". Fred said to his wife Alice.
"That's still a lie. I knew it that you had killed our son probably you must have sacrificed him to those kidnappers in exchange for the treasure. How cruel of you". Alice said as she sobs.
"And who exactly told you that I was the one who killed you son". Fred said with a mean tone not minding what his wife might be thinking.
"I saw it!". Alice shouted.
Fred was afraid that she might have seen him.
"How want do mean. How can I kill our son with my own hands". Fred said.
"I saw it, it was very clear I'm my dream. You killed him Fred not the kidnappers. You have been lying to me all this while. I knew it, I can fell it all over me, the chills and the rest and the worst part of it is that you still had the guts to lie to me". Alice said to her husband.
"Come on woman, what are you saying". Fred said.
"I thought you were only a gangster but little did I know that you are a murderer also and it not just some random person but my son, your son, our son Ken!". Alice said again.
"Ok, i am sorry". Ken said with a calm voice to his wife.
Alice couldn't believe what she heard.
"You are sorry?, did I hear you say that you are sorry?". Alice said.
"Yes, I am sorry". Ken said again.
"Ok, I kept the treasure at the farmland. Go there and take it". Alice said and Ken couldn't believe what he just heard.
"Are you being serious?". Ken asked looking a bit surprised.
Alice didn't utter any more word as she sat down comfortably on the seat beside where she was standing earlier.
Ken gazed at her for a while and rushed out of the room to the farmland to know whether if he can find the treasure.
"It isn't here, why did she say that she kept here?". He asked himself after looking around the entire place in search of the treasure.
"Is she playing with me?" He asked himself amidst bewilderment.
Alice in her own had started packing her bags to leave the house as soon as she tricked him and he left.
She knew how dangerous he could be so she tricked him in order for her to pack her clothes peacefully. She has already ended it with him.
She knew that he might kill her just the way she suspected that he might have killed her son.
As soon as she was done packing, she made her way to leave but she met Ken at the door.
"Where are you going to?". Ken inquired looking concerned.
"Am done with this marriage its over for us". Alice said with her bags on her hands.
"Not until you tell me where you had hidden the treasure". Ken said.
Alice ignored him as she forcefully and her way to leave.
Ken grabbed her by the neck tightly as if he wanted to strangle her.
"Let me go, giu are choking me". Said Alice as she struggles to free his hands in her neck.
"Never, it s either you tell me where you had hidden the treasure only then I would let you go". He thundererd as he held her neck tightly.
"I can't breath" Alice said as she struggled for air amidst the strong grip from her husband Ken.
She started hitting her feet at the wall but Ken ignored her as he continued to strangle her.
As time goes by she began to go limb, then few seconds later. She collapsed and gave up the ghost.
"Alice!". Ken called as he tapped her by the shoulder to make sure that she is actually dead.
"Good, stupid woman". He said to himself.
He carried her body and buried her immediately on a shallow grave.
However, few years later, her son named Mike has grown into a full teneeger , he is a writer who is fascinated by ghost stories.
He lives in another town where he had been sold to by his father Ken.
