I watched the casket of my once oh-so beloved,
beautiful wife being lowered electrically into the grave.
Charlene, and Shirley,
our two beautiful daughters, thirteen and fifteen respectively, let out one
last deafening scream. They almost jumped into the marble tiled grave after
their mother.
Of all people, Charlene
and Shirley had been the most affected by the cold bloody murder of their
mother, my lovely wife of fifteen years. What a tragic loss.
Her father, a wealthy
businessman and veteran politician, had vowed to do whatever it took to bring
to the book her killer. He ought to. No one has the right to take anyone's
life.
As I tried to hold back Charlene and Shirley, I couldn't help thinking of Mandy. In her life, she had been such a darling to the world. In death, she was like a miserable-people magnet.
But now it was over.
Only that she had taken
to the grave a very big secret – the identity of her killer.
Both Mandy and I knew
that her murderer will never be caught. Her murder would go down the books of
unsolved murders history.
The murderer had done
all it took to make sure that even the much famed American CSI can't get him,
and had allowed her to see his face before she died – she was going to die
after all.
I know all this because
I killed Mandy, my sweet wife.
Fifteen years of
deception is a long time. Mandy had been a whore all along, an escort for the
stinking rich scum of this republic, right from the first day we met and I fell
for her head over heels. A Campus Diva for the Rich, that's what she
was, for fifteen years.
Even after graduation
from the Nairobi University and our marriage, she continued peddling her cunt
for whatever God knows. I loved her, gave her everything, yet she lied to me,
and called me babe.
How could she?
Well, the truth was the
bitterest pill I was forced to swallow when I discovered.
How could she? I loved
her.
Fine, the truth is the
darkest place of all. Nonetheless, I know the truth behind her murder.
