I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

Inside the bathroom, Zaki and Hinari clasped each other in a tight hug. Zaki rested his chin on her head, his eyes twinkling in delight. In the last few years, Zaki never imagined them getting married - he never even dared to think about it. But now, in just a matter of a few days, everything changed. He felt his chest beating ferociously, his brain seemed to have been electrified and his body had the urge to tremble in happiness as he thought about the very moment he would get to say ʼI doʼ.

The Zaki who once hated any thoughts about his future was long gone because right now, he no longer feared what was waiting ahead. As long as this person was with him, he would embrace anything, everything.

”Mm… letʼs go home and get married. B-but first… Zaki… about what happened last night...” When Hinari finally started speaking about last nightʼs incident, Zaki slowly loosened his grip on her, and stared into her eyes. ”I have to deal with those evil crocodiles once and for all. I will never forgive them. I wonʼt let them off this time. I will take everything away from them. I will make them live in regret for the rest of their lives! I will make them pay, crush their bones until they wonʼt even have the will to stand again.”

As Hinari spoke, Zaki saw the hostility and hatred flashing across her eyes and his eyes looked around at anything but her, like a child suddenly getting worried about being caught doing naughty things.

Hinari on the other hand, immediately noticed his reaction and somehow, she could already tell that Zaki might already have done something.

”Zaki… did you already…” when Zakiʼs eyes finally fell on her again, Hinari paused.

”Iʼm sorry. I was too overtaken by rage last night.” Zaki said and Hinariʼs eyes slowly widened.

She suddenly held Zakiʼs face and looked at him with worry. She was afraid. She couldnʼt help but think that Zaki might have gone into beast mode and might have dirtied his hands with those scumbags. She knew that his big brother, the great, wasnʼt here to stop him.

”Y-you… donʼt tell me you…”

”I didnʼt hurt them, physically. Sei arrived and stopped me on time.”

The moment she heard that, Hinariʼs tensed shoulders dropped. She heaved a long deep breathe of relief as her hands fell into Zakiʼs hands.

”Thank god…” she sighed.

”Do you really not want them to be harmed? Even though they almost…”

”No, thatʼs not it. I donʼt want you to soil your hands with their rotten blood. I donʼt want my beauty to be tainted by those crocodiles. Theyʼre not worth it!”

Her statement somehow made Zaki feel better. Sei was right… he would have made this person sad if he started killing again.

”But… I already took actions to punish them. To give them what they deserve.”

When Hinari heard him, she blinked, but she wasnʼt shocked anymore. Even though she wanted to be the one to punish them, she knew that Zaki had done it all for her.

”I couldnʼt calm down last night. My urge to kill them didnʼt subside until I saw them kneeling and crying with blood. Iʼm sorry I didnʼt wait for you to wake up.” He continued and Hinari pressed her lips tight as she tiptoed and caressed his hair.

”Itʼs okay. I believe what you did was what I wanted to do to them. It was my fault for sleeping. And you are my beauty, you will be my other half very soon so my revenge is your revenge.”
