TILL DEATH DO US PART

She sat by the stairs crying her eyes out, ”how could he do this to me?!….” ”where do I go from here?I can’t believe this is happening” ”why Jerald why??” Adeline sat at the park with her luggages wailing as people only stared, and walked passed.

it was winter and she was freezing out in the open, with just a luggage as her only property left, her belongings had been confiscated by the bank and worse she was indebted for things she had no clue off!! For now she only needed a place to stay, eat and take it all in. All she had in her pocket where a few bucks that could help for a few days. With no family around, she remembered an old inheritance from her father, she never liked the place but she was certain no one really knew about it…at least not the bank anyways!!

In a sad and hurt spirit, Adeline picked her luggages and headed for the old house, she couldn’t afford an Uber ride so she had to jump buses. After about 3hrs she was finally at the old house, a place which reminded her of her terrible childhood. She never thought she would ever step foot into the house again, but here she was… a sad, broken and angry woman.

Adeline had been through a lot while growing up, from being abused, to living on the streets, doing odd jobs just to have half square meals, she managed to send herself to school and make a meaning out of her life, she grew and advanced her life as a manager but she never outgrew trauma of her past. Till she met Jerald, her Prince Charming.. and so she thought.

She bumped into Jerald at a coffee shop on her way to work, he had approached her with the most charming smile ever, introduced himself, offered a compliment and requested for her number and was the beginning of their love story. He worked as a sales rep at a grocery store and although he wasn’t as financially strong as Adeline, she still loved him regardless of anything and eventually they got married.

They both lived happily for 2years until she discovered that he already had a family in another city, which he groomed and supported with her money. On the day of confrontation, while arguing, things became violent and she was overpowered. She was tied up and forced to sign over all her properties to him, quite evil I must add. Who would have thought her night in armor would be her worst nightmare? Jerald had not just taken ownership of all her property, he mortgaged her house and still took loans in her name. She was wrecked indeed and all she did was love him.

While at the old house, she couldn’t eat, she couldn’t sleep, she cried for hours, ”why me? why is life unfair to me? Don’t I deserve happiness?” that night she swore to make Jerald pay!!
Roaming through the house, she moved up to the basement and decided to check out a few old and dusty photos. In her bid of looking at the photos, she found an old hidden chest, ”what could be in here” she thought. The chest was locked and so she looked around for a key, it wasn’t easy though but she ground it. After opening the chest, she found a huge sum of money and a letter written
”Dear Adeline, I am sorry for everything you will ever have to face on life, I’m sorry for not being there for you and I’m sorry for all the bad decisions I have ever made. If ever you find this, I would be no more, please take this and take care. I am sorry and I love you -love mom”

All she could do was cry, her mom died of homicide,she was left under the care of her step dad who abused her and now her life has crumpled once again. You would think the money she saw would make her happy, rather it fueled the hate growing in her heart. This time around her tears weren’t tears of pain, but tears of vengeance and anger. The following day she purchased some guns and knives and equipments and proceeded to track Jerald. The money was quite a fortune but she needed to satisfy her brining anger. She no longer cared for the money but she craved for revenge!

She traced Jerald to a small and cozy home, with his wife and Two kids, they looked so happy together. At a point she wanted to turn back and leave but a voice whispered in her ears ”he took your happiness, so why does he deserve to be happy?” with that, her anger grew even more and she waited till midnight to execute her plans. At midnight, they had all fallen asleep, she proceeded to sedate them all and then proceeded to tie them all up in the living room. In a few minutes they were all awake, such a happy reunion!!

She introduced herself to heralds wife and kids, and apparently his wife knew about everything, she was all in on the plan to rip an innocent girl of her hard earned money and ruine her life. This infuriated Adeline and she slit the throat of both children in front of their parents while laughing and crying at once, she had lost her mind! They both screamed in horror, which only sounded like music to her ears. She wasn’t done, she drenched both man and wife in fuel and herself as well. They begged and screamed for her to stop but it fell on deaf ears. She lit a match stick whilst screaming “Till death do us apart” and everything and everyone was set ablaze including herself. The air was filled with torturing screams of pain and smell of burnt meat as the house burnt down as well. They were burnt beyond recognition and that was the end of their chapter!!
