Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Killed by Murderer

It's been a week since her husband was murdered by someone, and Tiara can't do anything but shut herself in the house. The police still haven't found the killer, even though the whole country has been heavily guarded by police officers.

The whole house felt empty and dark. Tiara sat on the living room sofa hugging their wedding photo frame. In her heart, she wanted to find the killer as soon as possible so she could avenge him directly.

"Why does this have to happen to my family? Why can't I live a happy life? Does God have a grudge against me so I don't deserve a happy life?"

Drrt...drrt...

Suddenly, a text message appeared on the phone screen. The message was sent from an unknown number. Tiara quickly read the message silently until her eyes began to tear up.

"If you want to find out why your husband was killed, come to me! But on condition, you have to come alone!"

After reading the message, Tiara immediately roused herself to find a dagger to use as a weapon. Then, she changed her clothes into a black suit and covered her face with a mask. She was determined to kill the killer with her own hands, no matter if she ended up in jail.

Their meeting place was on a bridge on the edge of town. The killer had deliberately arranged to meet at night to avoid being caught by the police.

Tiara arrived at this place first. This bridge is not traveled by anyone because it is known as a haunted bridge. She was not afraid to walk back and forth while fingering her pants pocket with a dagger to stab the killer.

"There you are."

Hearing the killer's voice as if he was mocking her, Tiara immediately turned around to see that the killer was a handsome young man. Her eyes were not easily seduced by the handsome face of the young man, although in fact this killer was more handsome than her husband.

"Who are you really? Why did you kill my husband, you asshole?!" Tiara screamed until her breath caught.

The assassin smiled sarcastically as he walked haughtily toward Tiara. "Don't you remember me?"

"Ha! Remember what! For all I know, you're a psycho psychopath who killed my innocent husband!"

"You still think your husband was innocent?" The assassin pointed an index finger at Tiara's head. "Should I make you realize that you're not blinded by love?"

"What do you know about my husband? Why did you kill him?"

The assassin tugged at Tiara's collar. "Your husband was an asshole. He deserved to die. Don't you know he's been deceiving everyone all this time?"

"Cheating? He's actually the cleanest man I know. He can't even drink alcohol and never goes to clubs to play with women. All this time he's always focused on me compared to anyone else, even his best friend. He is the best husband and you have no right to accuse him."

"He wears a mask in front of you so that you believe him! I know his personality better than everyone else and I actually pity you the most for misjudging people."

Tiara released the assassin's grip on her hand and pulled out a dagger from her pants pocket. Unexpectedly, the assassin moved faster. The dagger was grabbed by the assassin and thrown into the river.

Without further ado, Tiara put all her strength into punching the killer's body. However, her strength was still not enough, considering her small body and the killer's body was bigger and taller. The killer immediately lifted Tiara's body by pulling her shirt collar, then led her to the back of the bridge pillar.

Tiara's gaze was blank as she stared up at the beautiful night sky dotted with stars.

"Do you have any last words to say before following your husband? I can still save you as long as you don't defend your husband at this last moment."

"It's beautiful," Tiara said softly.

"What did you say?"

"The sky is beautiful today. If only my husband were still alive, he and I would have seen the stars together by now."

Seeing that this woman was still devoted to her husband, the killer raged and groaned in frustration. His right hand vigorously pushed the woman into the river.

BYUR

In the last moments of the woman's drowning, the young man wept bitterly while bowing his head.

*****

As Tiara lost consciousness in the water, she imagined the last time she and her husband wanted to go on a date. Tiara was getting ready to put on her makeup for a date with her husband at an elite hotel. Her husband had promised to come home early so they could go to the hotel together.

Tiara had been waiting for her husband's arrival at her residence for hours. She tried to call him many times, but there was no response. It was unusual for her husband not to give her news if he had to go home late or cancel a date. Tiara tried to think positively, maybe her husband's cell phone was dead, so she couldn't contact him.

Speaking of dead cell phones, at the same time a phone call from her husband appeared on her cell phone screen. Tiara quickly picked up the phone.

At first she wanted to hear her husband's voice, but it was the police who responded. The police reported that the owner of this cell phone was found dead in a hit-and-run accident. Tiara immediately moved quickly to the scene to confirm that the dead man was her husband.

Upon arriving at the scene, Tiara ran to a body covered in a shroud being transported. Tears flooded her face as she saw that the body was her husband. Her hands were clenched tightly, for her it was impossible that this was an ordinary accident because the crime scene was a public road. She looked around her vigilantly, assuming that her husband had been deliberately run over by someone.
