The Letter
She was stunned.
She could not believe that her husband was a murderer, that he had
killed her first wife.
The letter said that his first wife was a rich widow and he had married
her only to grab her wealth. She had not died of sickness, as the man claimed.
He had brutally killed her.
‘It’s a lie. But then this person knows everything about my husband. Every
other thing that he has written is true. So perhaps…...’
She was unnerved. But she soon regained her composure.
‘Now I can go ahead with my plan without any regret or compunction. He
will get what he deserves…..it would rather be justice, no?’
