He was known as intelligent, soft spoken, well behaved introvert person in his group. Everyone believed he will be the most successfull among them. Life was beautiful with good job, rich family and lovely girlfriend. Everything was perfect till that unfateful night came in his life.

From last few days, he and his girlfriend was going through rough phase in their relationship. She wanted to settle down since they were together from the last five years and he was now doing great in his professional life. But he wanted some more time before any committment. With no solution to this problem, they decided to give each other some space and see where future takes them.

During this period, she met a handsome guy and started dating him. She even started avoiding his calls and used to rarely revert his messages. He came to know about her closeness with another man. He called her and went to meet her to confront her face to face. When he reached her home at night after job hours, she calmly told him that everything between them is over from her side and she had already moved on.

The casual attitude towards their relationship made him furious and he slapped her so hard that she hit her head on the wall and fell down on the ground unconscious. When he saw she was not moving and blood oozing out from her head, he tried to wake her up, but she was already dead.

He sat down staring at her lifeless body for sometime. Few minutes later he got up and bought a mop and large suitcase from inside. He stuffed her body in the suitcase and buffed the floor till blood stains disappeared. He kept the suitcase in the garage and drove off home.

Two days later the news of her murder spread everywhere. Her friends rushed to her place including him. Her new boyfriend was already present there with her family.
