Chapter 17
During their honeymoon, Jessica
“accidentally” died, falling down the stairs. Since all the evidence pointed to an accident
and Jessica had no relatives except for her
new husband, Mark, the matter was quickly
ruled an accident
Mark sadly signed the organ donation papers, getting Jessica’s kidney.
When I heard about the wedding, I suspected something like this. Jessica probably thought that having Mark’s child made her the most
important person in his life. She never thought Mark would kill her.
Jessica overestimated herself.
Soon after Jessica’s death, Mark and Carol
came to see me, the newly improved Mark
had recovered from his transplant.
He didn’t look at me with the same love. He
smiled coldly. “I bet you’ve heard about
Jessica.”
I frowned. “How could Jessica be so
careless? Did you kill her to get a kidney?
That’s too much of a coincidence.”
“It’s all your fault. You wouldn’t give me your
kidney, so I had to kill my wife and child. So,
I’m giving you two choices.”
<
I’m giving you two choices.
“First, marry me, give me all your money, and
keep my secret forever. Second, I’ll give you
peanuts, and you can join Jessica in hell.
What’s it going to be?”
Carol and Mark weren’t fazed. They didn’t ask
any questions. One of them grabbed my arm, and the other pulled out the peanuts, ready to
kill me.
At that moment, the door to the master
bedroom opened. A group of police officers
walked out. They quickly restrained Carol and
Mark.
[Carol and Mark, you are both being taken into custody and questioned on the death of Jessica. The investigation will proceed as
lawfully appropriate.]
They screamed at me, cursing me.
I almost laughed. Did they think I’d let them in
without any protection after they killed
<
Carol and Mark were found guilty of murder
and sentenced to death.
Before Mark died, I went to see him. Mark
had developed kidney failure again in prison. He might not make it to the execution date. Mark looked at me, his eyes blazing with hatred. “Why did you do this to me? I wanted to marry you, and you ruined me…”
I smiled. “Okay, we’re short on time, so let’s cut the crap. I want to tell you something. Jessica didn’t come to see me.”
“I paid someone to make that video with Al. The recording was real. I recorded it outside the hospital room. I came here to see you
die.”
With that, Mark went crazy, cursing me. I
checked my watch. “Okay, I’m going to go on
a trip around the world. I thank you for all of
those that Jessica’s organs saved.”
Just as I suspected, Mark got sick and died
two days after I left. Only Carol got the
“peanuts” I gave her.
I got my revenge and became rich. It wasn’t a
waste of a second chance.
