He had been a good husband, but that wasn’t good enough for her. She’d found a new man on social media and was preparing to leave him. She made excuses to be out of the house, meeting with a friend, joining a woman’s club. He had suspicions she was cheating on him but showed no signs of his distrust. He carried on with her as if everything was still okay in their marriage of ten years. He began spying on her social media account and discovered her paramour and her writing I love yous to each other. And he lost his mind.
She met her paramour at a swank hotel the next day. Her husband followed her unseen and planned to take her life with his glock he had hidden beneath his coat. He trailed her into the hotel and saw his wife kiss her paramour at the reception desk. He overhead the desk clerk say the room they would be in and stealthy followed them staying out of sight. He crept toward the hotel room cursed his wife and kicked the hotel room door in with his glock in hand. A commotion ensued, a single shot, then the room became silent, except for rapid footfalls down a fire escape.
In the morning he and his wife were dead. His wife’s paramour, a serial killer, had knifed them both to death and fled.
