I comforted her and told her he’s in a better place now. We stayed like that for an hour until her phone started ringing.
It was Gracie.
They chatted for a bit until she hung up. She slowly turned to me and looked at me and said ” the police contacted Gracie. They came to the conclusion that Paul was the victim of a premeditated homicide.
They have a video of the assailant. He attacked Paul with a crowbar.”
I was scared. I couldn’t stop shaking.
I tried to speak but had trouble getting the words out. I was able to say “…. and who did it?”
She said quietly ” they… don’t know yet.
Apparently the videos they obtained from the cameras weren’t great quality.
They show the suspect wearing all black and waiting for Paul in his bedroom. He then starts fighting with Paul once he walked into the room.
The lights were out in the room and the video didn’t have night vision so the only light source was coming from the hallway when Paul found him.
Paul pinned him down but then gets hit in the face with a crow bar.
When he fell, he hit the side of the bed and cracked his skull open. He surely died on impact.
”
I was kind of relieved. They couldn’t see my face apparently. Maybe I’ll be ok?
Who knows. I’m still preparing for the worst though. I then asked.
“So what are they planning on doing?
“They’re going to continue to investigate until they catch the suspect. I feel so bad for Gracie. How could they do this to her?
She’s the sweetest girl in the world. Paul was such a good guy. Who would plan on killing him?
I’m heading over to Gracies house to comfort her. I’ll be back later. ”
And that’s the update for now.
My original plan was to kick her out after exposing her infidelity but if it really was just a misunderstanding then maybe she was loyal the whole time. Maybe I just started assuming things. Whatever.
for now I’ll pause my plan. I’ll keep everyone posted.
Hello.
It’s been a few weeks since I last posted.
Things have been…. chaotic to say the least.
The police investigation has been ongoing.
It even made the local news.
I decided it would be best to keep quiet about my involvement.
If the police can’t finger me then I should be fine right?
A lot of people knew Paul and mourned his loss.
2 weeks ago was his funeral.
A lot of people showed up and my wife Stacy has not left Gracies side since then. Stacy asked me to say a eulogy for him.
I couldn’t describe the feelings I felt while I said some bullshit out my ass.
I was guilty, sad, angry and above all ashamed.
I genuinely thought I cursed myself by performing a eulogy for the person I killed.
Ever since that day, Gracie has been living with us. My wife and I haven’t had relations this whole time.
She has been on bereavement leave and my wife has taken a lot of PTO to be there for her.
It’s very sweet.
They sit next to each other on the couch everyday watching movies together.
Stacy holds her when she breaks down crying.
It’s very sad to see.
Gracie has been sleeping in the den but my wife has been staying with her at night everyday.
I’ve felt lonely without my wife in bed but I can’t complain about this. After all, it is all my fault.
I spoke to my brother a few days ago about the whole situation. I left out my involvement in the matter but mentioned the misunderstanding.
He sounded relieved that she wasn’t cheating, but sad about what happened to the guy.
I’ve decided to get my assets back within the next few months.
It took a few weeks but things seemed to be going back to normal… at least that’s what I thought.
A few days ago while the 3 of us were eating dinner, Gracie got a call on the phone. It was the police.
She stepped out of the room for a few moments before returning with a pale look on her face. She slowly began to speak.
“The police have identified a suspect.”
What!?
There’s no way they found out it was me! Were they able to identify me from the cameras!? Crap!!!
She continued, “the detective said that the suspect has been arrested tonight.
They’re confident they got him. ”
Wait what??? They arrestED him?
Does this mean they got the wrong guy?
“Apparently they believe the motive had to do with infidelity. The man they arrested is the….. husband of a woman Paul had s..s..
sex with…”
Our jaws DROPPED. This dude was cheating on Gracie? To be honest, Gracie was quite attractive.
It’s hard to see why he’d cheat on her.
“Are you kidding me?!? What a scumbag! I can’t believe he would cheat on you!” said Stacy.
“So do they have any proof? How do they know he’s a cheater!?”
“The detective followed some leads and through the investigation found out that he’s been sleeping with most of his clients.” Gracie collapsed into the floor as she said that. “They found someone with a similar build to the man on the cameras and decided to get an arrest warrant.
He has a history of violent crimes and his wife is one of the women that Paul slept with.”
I can’t believe what I’m hearing!
I’m basically in the clear right? Sure an innocent man is going to jail in my place, but he’s an awful human being.
Isn’t it OK if he takes the fall? It was hard to contain my laughter but I made sure not to break the facade.
I looked over at Stacy and noticed her trembling.
“I can’t believe he cheated on me, not just with 1 women but several apparently. How could he do this to me!?” Gracie said as she started crying.
Maybe I did her a favor. None of this would’ve come to light had I not did what I did.
Maybe this outcome is ok. Gracie ran to the den with tears in her eyes and Stacy followed after her. I just sat there mulling over what I just heard.
I went to bed after a few hours. They never left the den.
The next morning I headed to work like normal. When I got home, I noticed Stacy’s car was gone.
I figured they left to get some food or something so I sat down in the living room to relax when I suddenly heard noise from the den. I went to open the door when I heard what sounded like gasping coming from the room.
I quietly opened the door slightly and couldn’t believe what I saw. In the middle of the room was Gracie.
Alone. Naked. Hanging from a rope.
I rushed in and pulled her off the rope.
She was unresponsive but still had a slight pulse. I started to perform CPR on her while I called my wife.
“STACY WHERE ARE YOU!?”
“What’s wrong? I went to get us dinner.”
“IDK WHAT HAPPENED BUT I THINK GRACIE TRIED TO KILL HERSELF.
PLEASE HURRY BACK!”
Stacy started shouting through the phone but I couldn’t make it out since I was still performing CPR on her. I eventually hear my wife say to call 911 immediately so I hung up and called. While waiting, I continue CPR until she finally started breathing again.
I kept it going a bit longer until I knew for sure she was breathing on her own.
I paused for a moment to catch my breath and looked at her body. It was hard to deny but Gracie was attractive. Very attractive.
Way more than Stacy. Why would Paul cheat on this?
I put a towel over her and then the police arrived. I explained the situation to them and told them everything.
My wife showed up slightly later asking what happened.
The ambulance took her away and I haven’t seen her since. Stacy has been at the hospital this whole time.
It’s been a day since this all happened. Not really sure what to think other than that I’ll post more updates if things escalate.
Hi all.
It’s been a crazy few weeks.
A lot has happened since last time when I found Gracie in the den.
Things are intense.
I’ll start from the beginning…
The night I found Gracie hanging from the noose, I called the ambulance.
