Right now, I'm crying so hard. The love of my life just slipped away off my fingers.
Her tied up, dead body is in front of me. She's gone. She's dead.
Her eyes were expressionless, and her face was pale.
A complete and utter nightmare.
I collapsed on the floor, and illuminating in my mind were all the memories we had, and all those fun times we had.
But her death will be revenged.
Consequence is for those responsible.
Have fun.
My game will soon start.
My face will be the only thing on your mind.
You will feel my wrath and rage.

"Ritan, I love you."
My eyes widened. Is she serious?
"Eloise, I love you too."
The small grin on her face showed that she was happy. I am too.
"I kept this all my life, Eloise. I have loved you since we were kids, and-"
"Shh. Let's go home."
I stood up, kissed her cheek and came inside my car behind her. I started driving away from her dead body.
I had dried tears on my face, but anger on my mind. I was determined to end all this.
I went to my house with a bloodied shirt, and saw the list of names.
All these people will feel what I feel.
Get ready to play this game, especially you, Jarrick.

"Mom, dad.", "This is Eloise, my girlfriend."
"Oh hello there, Eloise. I'm Mr. Gevanho, but you can call me whatever you want."
Mom was smiling at Eloise. She reached out her hand, where Eloise did the same.
"It's very nice meeting you, Mr. and Mrs. Gevanho, Ritan has been telling a lot about both of you lately."
"My pleasure, sweetie. Should we start eating?"
"Of course, Mr. Gevanho."
I drove to the house of the first name on my list. Jarrick Myers.
His house was not just a house, but a mansion. He bought this mansion after doing all those drug deals with big time celebrities.
I knocked on their door, which was opened a few moments after.
"Who are you?"
