Crime Drama Mystery

I am in prison for what you ask killing my lover. I don't deny it even though it's not true. Everyone thinks it was me so what can I do? The evidence was all there I was framed with no proof. I had no reason to kill my lover and neither did she. I know that gun shot was meant for me but got him instead. He jumped right in the way that rainy night. She ran off made sure she had a alibi, she thought of everything that smart girl. I heard her make the phone call as running away she said to the person at the end of the nine,one,one call. Please hurry my I heard a gun shot. She looked at me in tears before running away knowing she had made a mistake and killed her father. The cops showed up with me holding him in my lap i knew there wasn't saving him. He died in my arms. They arrested me on the spot I was covered in my tears and his blood. I took the blame I don't think her life should be ruined knowing she made the mistake. I confessed that night with no regrets. I know she wished it was me she thought I was the reason her mom and dad was getting a divorce. I wish she would of known the half of it, he would still be alive. A mistress is always to blame for a divorce. Allison knew her mom and dad was getting a divorce but she didn't know about the affair just until recently he was going to tell her soon. Allison parents was more than over way before I came along. I came along the moment he had the papers drew up. I was hired to be his divorce attorney it was love at first site. He told me he was tired of her lies she got caught cheating. Allison didn't know about her mom's affair. Alex her tried to make it work but he knew his heart couldn't handle Margaret sneaking around with Jason anymore. He had to do something about it. The moment Alex stepped into my office that is when things got messy it was love at first site. The flirting started shortly after was the late night meetings,and hotel visits. He told his wife so they both was seeing other people but agreed not telling the kids until the divorce was final but keeping that secret is what killed my lover. My dearest lover is dead and I am rotting in this jail cell it's so cold in here specially since it's winter and the heat is not working at the moment. My mom sent me a extra cover to keep me warm. She told me she can't believe I took the blame that she was very disappointed in me that I am going to be in here during Christmas. I told my mom Allison has to live with knowing she killed her dad ,I couldn't live with myself if she was rotting in this jail cell. I know it she knows it just let it be mom I said. I hear my mom sobbing at the other end what about your life. I replied there is no proof of her doing it and I'm okay with it I have made my peace with it so should you. My mom didn't let it go she took matters into her own hands and started to investigate. My mom is a private investor so I know she wasn't going to drop it. She dug deep and finally got enough dirt on the daughter to get a warrant to search the home. She found the gun in the daughter's room not sure why she kept the gun but there it was under the bed. Before I knew it I was free and Allison was taking my place. I was out and I felt bad about it. I never wanted it to happen if only Alex would of listen to me and told his kids about everything. I sent Allison a Christmas card explaining everything who knows if she reads it or believes it but here it was all in writing both affairs and that I didn't want my mom to look into it and I was sorry for everything. I was free but shouldn't be I went shopping for Christmas presents but wasn't in the spirit but at the same time wanted to shop for my family. I felt good to spend Christmas with my family but still guilty for Allison I hope one day she will understand. I sent Alexander a Christmas gift out of guilt Alex son, yes he named his only son after him. I sent the gift with no name because I know he probably wouldn't accepted it coming from me I just wanted to get him the playstation 5 knowing that is what Alex was going to get him this Christmas. I just wish I could of seen his face when he opened it. I know one day if they just would of been honest with their kids we could have been a decent with each other and maybe got along to share holidays but now we maybe know. A year later I still send Allison a Christmas card and Alexander a gift with no name and hoping they never find out they are from me. I feel like I have to out of guilt. I have moved on though I made sure this guy is single and wasn't getting a divorce he doesn't even have kids this relationship is very fresh works at my form. His name is Jack and loves Christmas and wants a big family I hope to see that. I forgave my mom for looking into my case because if she would of listen to me I never would of met Jack and have this time with my family making Christmas cookies right now. The tradition I have had with my family ever year I never have missed it and never will thanks to my mom.
