One of the inspectors entered the room and whispered something to John. John was astonished by what he heard. He looked at the lady tied to the chair and looked at the photograph shown by the inspector. He said, “I will leave later after some questioning. Ask the others to go home and take some rest. It’s been a hectic day. Tell them to come early tomorrow morning, and you only stay here, you will leave with me."16Please respect copyright.PENANA9Oje1itowN
The inspector nodded and left the room. John looked at the lady and said in a deep voice, “You are such a psycho. I don’t know what is wrong with this place. Every few months, a new psycho arises out of nowhere and starts killing people. And the reasons they all have are just nonsense. What is your reason for killing men, especially those five hearts that we found in the building? See their heart?”16Please respect copyright.PENANAr69Cv77DS1
The lady looked at John with blood in her eyes, “That was just the beginning of my journey of finding and freeing people from their black hearts. Do you know what men like those did? Of course, you know. Those bastards took, destroyed, and left behind nothing but broken pieces of the people who trusted them. They thought they would get away with it because no one could see the darkness inside them. But I can.”16Please respect copyright.PENANAAgZToTUlTG
“Tell me, what were those five hearts doing there? And what is with the five white sheets?”16Please respect copyright.PENANA2uL8QE3AjQ
The lady weirdly looked at John, “ Sheets? There are bodies in it. The bodies of the ladies of my family. My mother, two sisters and my two daughters. Those hearts are of those bastards who shattered the hearts of these ladies when they promised them forever and left them with nothing! These innocent souls suffered because of those men’s greed and selfishness!”16Please respect copyright.PENANAzhgaeWM4Rm
“I can feel what you are trying to say, but this is not the way to do justice. Killing people and then going on a killing spree, you killed a total of twenty people. And there were no bodies, there were only five white sheets on the floor.”16Please respect copyright.PENANAAjc5tb2sPm
The lady looked amazed, “That is not possible. There were bodies,” the lady looked behind John and a feeling of sadness grasped her.16Please respect copyright.PENANAY7Wj3TqzMt
John looked behind but saw nothing. The lady said softly, “My family is here to take me out of here. My mother, my sisters and my daughters. They even came to you, to the police, when my mother’s entire cash deposit was looted by his so-called boyfriend, when my sisters were tortured by the male employees of their company till they lost their insanity and when my daughters were raped by the bus drivers of their school. These men are sick! Their hearts are black. Tainted. Rotten to its core. Did you see them? The others? I gave them justice. I took away their power to hurt anyone else ever again.”16Please respect copyright.PENANA5O35VLK9NE
John interrupted, “I have been hearing a lot of your bullshit. I cannot tolerate any more of this. You think that you are strong. You want to be more, to be feared, to be obeyed. But deep down, you know the truth, don’t you? That, no matter how many times you swing the knife, no matter how much blood you spill, you’ll never really have control. You can rip hearts from a hundred men, but you will still be weak at the end of the day because that’s just the way it is. You act tough like you’re above all of it, but I can see it in your eyes. That need. That craving for validation. You don’t rip out hearts because you want justice. You do it because no man ever truly wanted yours. And that’s what keeps you up at night, isn’t it? Not the men you kill, but the ones who never even looked at you long enough to care. You hate men, but deep down, all you ever wanted was to be loved by one.”16Please respect copyright.PENANAe9fMQfUNa9
Suddenly, they heard a loud band outside. John looked at the door and shouted, “Is everything all right, Inspector?”16Please respect copyright.PENANA4EifVQ4X4u
There is silence. John shouted again, “Inspector?”16Please respect copyright.PENANAla3TnnYehf
Suddenly, the door blasted and a man with the devil mask entered the room. A knife soaked in blood was in his hand. He threw the knife toward John, which hit him in the chest. John fell to the ground and screamed in pain. He came closer to the lady and looked at her. The lady looked at the masked man and a slow, unsettling smile spread across her blood-stained lips. The masked man looked at her for a few more seconds and said, “You are the first one who smiled even after her death is in front of her.”16Please respect copyright.PENANAJ96ppQj3SW
The lady kept smiling and then looked at John. The masked man cut the rope and the lady jumped at John. She looked in the eyes of John, which showed the pain, which intensified as her hand was now inside his chest.16Please respect copyright.PENANA2M3oqaeJuD
