Crime Friendship Mystery

Marriage is a beautiful thing but when married to the wrong person it all turns sour. I have been married for four years now with me being the bread winner of my family and am not complaining, I love my husband and my son so much, plus my best friend Clara she was more than a friend to me in fact she is my sister but then I just don't get it how will a man that claims he loves you not do anything to support you rather the ones your trying to do in other to build the family he kept on scattering. He withdraws money anyhow from our joint account and keep feeling me he is doing some investment with the money, I investment we have never seen the profit but what did they say "for better for worse till death do us apart" and yes I want to keep those vows.

We have been planning our four years anniversary and we decide to do a little get away to enjoy our personal space and be able to talk to each other without any interference, leaving our son under the care of Clara. We picked the best hostel outside the city where we have plans of stay up to a week.

Waking up to see my self in a police station I was wondering how this actually happened because all I could remember was lodging in a hotel with my husband where we decided to do a little get away for our four years marriage anniversary and the day we arrived at the hotel how everything was moving smooth.

After some minutes of trying to understand what was going on that was when a detective came up to me saying he has some questions for me and I got the most shocking question of my life "how did you do it and why did you do it" I was Confuse so I have to ask in what he is talking about he told me to quit pretending and that was how he starting lament in on how women are very wicked, how they are gold diggers in all these I just couldn't get how it concerns me all I want to do is to leave there go back to my husband and son but I don't know mother nature has other plans for me then the detective say I should prepare myself to go to court for the murder of my husband with the full story that they found me at beach shore with bloods all over me, a knife and a 5ml string but the interesting thing is that the blood us not mine but it matches my husband's own, the finger prints on the knife and string matches mine, with all these me too I couldn't believe myself . I was forced to even question my own sanity because the evidences provided were so real not to be true, did I do it in my subconsciousness, did I do it without knowing or did I do it under the influence of alcohol???? These were the questions that keep going on in my head.

On that day at the court I was charged of murder with the evidence of my finger print being found on the knife used to murder my husband not just that they went to my apartment and found a threat note I addressed to my husband, they also went through my dairy and found my secrets notes of how I wants to end our marriage, my imaginations of running away with our son. Yes I actually thought of all these but I didn't do them, on these note I was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment without bill.

How did I get here??? These are the questions in my head. Nobody will ever believe me how will I spent 12 complete years in prison without my son and how did my husband die, like we were so happy about this anniversary so how do things now go south??? I just have to live with the fact that things will never go back to normal again. In the prison I made a friend Jenny, she was known to be the most dangerous prisoner, she do a lot of things inside here but still get away with it. Story has it that she is always in and out of prison, I told her all my story and she promise me that once she get of this place the next month she will definitely help me out, I just keep holding onto that.

Finally she was discharged from here I was just hoping she keep to her promise but yes that's all I could do "HOPE" . After six months of not getting any positive message I have to stop hoping, on that faithful Monday morning I was called out my prison room and I was told that am free I was confuse at first because I don't understand what is going on but when I got to the waiting room I saw no other but Jenny waiting out there for me. I needed answers to my unasked questions but she suggested we get home first, when we got home she told me all that happened. How she tried to reach out to my son who she found out was still staying with my best friend Clara, this same Clara happened to be the same person that tipped her off to kill me while we are in the prison and the day she went there she saw a guy that fit into my husband's description and my son calling him "Daddy" that was what raised her suspicions, then she has to go into personal investigation involving the police too and that was how they got to know that Clara conspired with my husband to fake his death and push all blame to me her reason being that I took what belonged to her so she decided to claim it back you know I couldn't believe my ears because me i have already die of self guilt and other things, they could have lived together happily ever after but I came into the picture these were her exact words.
