His Beautiful Addiction

A devilish smirk appeared on her lips when she saw the deranged look on his face. She knew his insides were burning now, the poison must be kicking in, but she didn't mind, as long as he was sane enough to hear what she was saying.

"I fucked him in every way possible, and I didn't regret it one single bit, in fact, I enjoyed it, every single second of it was bliss. '' she laughed;

''And do you know the worst thing about knowing this? Even though you want to squeeze the life out of me right now, you can't even lift a finger. '' Michelle laughed mockingly, ''how does it feel? Knowing that you are going to lose everything you have to your killer? '' she laughed,

''Ah, know that when you die, you'll be buried and forgotten, no-one is going to know what happened to you because I'll tell everyone you committed suicide because you couldn't take the shame of losing everything to Nicklaus and going to jail. And it doesn't matter if they believe me or not, I'm going to go scot-free! Yes, that's because even when my DNA is found on you, no-one can do a thing because I'm your wife and it's most likely that I touched you today before you killed yourself. '' She smiled sweetly. If not anything, she wanted her face to be the last face he saw before he died.

''Oh, how the mighty has fallen; '' Michelle laughed as she stood up;

He was foaming and shaking now, but she didn't even have an ounce of pity. Just remembering that he roasted her sister alive after abusing her for years made her even want to stab him; her eyes eyed him as he struggled for breath;

''Hell is too merciful for you Douglas; I hope you rot in anything worse than it. ''

With that, she turned around and walked out, locking him in. She quickly went to the kitchen and took the poison wrap from where she hid it and went back to the room, by the time she reached, he had already died. She walked to him and made him touch the poison, then place it on the table beside the drink,

Leaving the room, she walked to the security room and cleared all the files on the CCTV, and then she left the house.

She didn't want to announce that he was dead, it was better if someone called her after seeing him dead, and she needed to be on the scene before the police got there, so she could tamper with the evidence in case they asked her why her DNA was found on the poison, so she stopped by a nearby mall, and pretended to be shopping.

It was almost time for them to have lunch, so the maid would go call him for lunch anytime from now. And just as she thought, five minutes later, her phone rang, it was the butler.

Michelle stared at it for some seconds, preparing herself on how to act, she picked it up;

''Ma'am, the Boss, the Boss is dead! ''

Before she could even say anything his voice rang through the phone;

''What? What did you say?! '' Michelle screamed in the mall, attracting some onlookers;

''Tell me you're joking, tell me you are joking right now! ''

''He's dead Ma'am, he's dead! We found him too late, I think he was poisoned, how could he get poisoned?!'' Michelle breathed in harshly as though she was having a heart attack,

''I'm coming… I'm coming now… '' she stammered and she quickly ended the call. Tears filled her eyes as she ran out of the mall, leaving the things she had shopped in the trolley. She raced back home like someone who had lost their loved one. She pulled into her house and didn't even park properly as she jumped out and raced into the house.

A lot of guards and home workers were gathered in front of their room, her steps faltered as she approached;

''where… where is he? '' She asked, sounding scared, and her eyes glistening;

''He's inside; '' the butler said and Michelle opened the door and walked in. He was the same way she had left him, except now, his foams were drying up.

'’Oh my god! '' her scream sounded in the room as she walked to him, without even looking at him, she first touched the cup and the poison on the table, then she turned to him;

''Douglas… Douglas… you can't do this… no, no, you can't die…!'' she screamed on top of her voice, tears pouring from her eyes as she shook him.

''We have a lot of years ahead of us; we have a lot of things we haven't done, how? How can you die now! How can you leave me to this world all alone! Somebody, please call the ambulance! Why is no-one doing anything! ''

She cried, shaking miserably. The butler walked to her and tried prying her away from her husband's dead body, but she held onto him tightly.

''The police and ambulance are on their way, they would be here soon, just get up, okay? ''

Right, now she had touched him, she needed them to see her with him, to solidify her proof, so she didn't stand up. Thankfully, she heard their sirens in the background, and in a few minutes, they were inside the room. 

''Ma'am stand up from the body'' only when she heard the police officer speak did she stand up grudgingly; the doctors who had come with them inspected the body, and when he was confirmed dead, they placed him on the stretcher and rolled him away.

''What happened? '' he asked, and the butler explained how they found him. 

''Hmm, did he perhaps commit suicide after watching the news today? ''

''What news? '' Michelle asked, standing up from the ground where she was crying.

''A video was released of him confessing to killing Nicklaus, but investigations will be carried out properly before anything can be said.''

The policeman said and Michelle's cries increased in the room; no-one would ever suspect that she was actually the one that killed him; her face was so red and swollen.

The guards all stood outside as they watched the ambulance drive away, once they were out of sight, Michelle slumped to the ground, and 'fainted'.
