"Why did you do this to us?" She asked while struggling to get out of his grip. Her eyes were red and swollen. He clenched her hair, tightly.
"Revenge, darling," He looked like a maniac. Psychopath.
"You are such a bastard. She will hunt you down," she shouted back at him, and just then he slit open her throat smoothly with a surgical knife.
"I am waiting," he replied to her lifeless body and kept a vendetta mask near her which had 'Masked Devil' stamped on it.
He had a burning desire for vengeance and now he was ready to play his game.
