My husband was the most sweetest and nicest person ever, but there he stands in the living room, pointing a gun at me while i held flowers for our 10th anniversary.

"I never loved you, it was just a mission i had to get over with for money." He said, looking at me. The man i had spent a decade with, the man i loved was pointing the gun at me.

All those years with him were fake, it was all just an act. He only cared about the money he was promised after he killed me.

My eyes widened as i watched him, my husband pointing a gun at me. I dropped the bouquet from my hands, i froze in fear as i felt tears starting to form in my eyes "y-you never loved me?" i asked quietly, confused and scared, my voice was shaky.

He nodded as he lowered his gun.
“It was all fake, I was told to do this. I never loved you, we were just living a lie together.” A hint of remorse was in his voice as he took a step towards you.

"W-what, all these years you just wanted to kill me?" i asked as tears started to stream down my face, i couldn't belive my eyes and ears.

He sighed as he closed his eyes and nodded his head again.
“Yes dear... My client has promised me five hundred thousand dollars after I kill you... I had to do it to provide them with the cash.” A tear ran down his face.

i nodded as i felt betrayed "Alright, do what you need to..." i whispered quietly as i looked at him "I hope that your happy becouse your throwing all these years into water for money" i said with a serious face, accepting my fate as tears rolled down my cheeks.

He nodded as he raised his gun and pointed towards me.
“I’m sorry for all these years I spent lying to your face. All these days, weeks and hours we spent together means nothing to me except for the five hundred thousand dollars I will get after I kill you.” He closed his eyes as he heard my voice, he was sorry and he seemed like he didn’t wanna do it anymore.

I watched him in disbelief, i was so hurt and betrayed that i wanted to get that gun from him and kill myself, i didnt say anything, i just stared at him as i cried.

He looked at me as he started aiming towards me. His hands were shaking as memories of us together went through his mind. He couldn’t kill me, he loved me. But he loved money way more and wouldn’t give that up. “I’m sorry!” He was sobbing. “Please forgive me dear!!” He cried.

"I never will." i said before looking down to the floor at the bouquet i got for him "I should have known that your a liar" i said, crying.

His eyes locked eyes with mine as his tears rolled down. He couldn’t kill me...

He took a step forward to hug you and cried.
“Please darling, it was just a mission I had to complete. They promised me half a million dollars to kill you. That money would’ve saved me, please forgive me!!” He looked up at me.

"Money means more to you than love does?" i said as i just stood still, hurt "Come on then, do it!" i said as i pulled him away, grabbed the hand he held the gun with and pointed it to my head.

He watched as i pointed the gun at my head.
“No! Please don’t do that! No!!” He struggled and tried to take the gun away from you.
“Please darling, I beg you please!!” He pleaded. “I love you, I do!!”

"No you dont." i said, i was about to pull the drigger when i realised something "Why did those people even want me dead?"

He wiped his tears and took a deep breath. He then looked at me as he regained his composure and cleared his throat.
“Well, the people who hired me to kill you were some criminals who you put behind the bars as the chief police officer, you arrested them when they committed major crimes. Since then, they hired me to kill you out of revenge.” He was calm now as he was trying to explain the reason why those people hired him.

"And you accepted that, you literally turned against me. YOU LITERALLY SPENT 10 STUPID YEARS WITH ME!" i said in disbelief, crying "Come on then, kill me"

He looked at me as he took another deep breath. This time no tears rolled down his cheeks, the remorse was there, the guilt of his actions was there but money meant more to him.

“I’m sorry darling, but five hundred thousand dollars is too much to refuse.” He said and pointed the gun once more at me.

“I accept the contract, I will kill you.” He said and a tear rolled down his eyes yet again.

"You disgust me." i said quietly as i stood straight, tears rolled down my cheeks, waiting for him to shoot me.

He looked up to me with a disappointed face, he was a liar, a manipulator, a cruel man. Those five hundred thousand dollars meant more to him than years of marriage he had with me. He was never genuine, he was an assassin, a killer for hire.

He closed his eyes as tears rolled down his cheeks. He couldn’t do it, the love he has for me was overpowering his desire to get that money.
“I’m sorry... I’m so sorry darling!” He pleaded.

"After i die... remember... REMEMBER THAT I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!" I screamed, but soon after i calmed down "Happy 10th anniversary" i said quietly as i stood still, looking at him with tears in my eyes.

He nodded with tears rolling down his cheeks.
“Yes, yes dear I will remember that.” A hint of sarcasm could be heard in his voice as he raised his gun again pointing it toward me as he prepared himself to pull the trigger.

His eyes locked with mine as he put my hair aside and kissed me on the lips.
“Happy 10th anniversary darling.”
The gun was still pointing towards you as tears rolled down his cheeks after giving me the kiss.

I smiled at him painfully as tears streamed down my face, closing my eyes as i waited for the trigger to be pulled

Tears rolled down his cheeks as he closed his eyes. He took a deep breath, he was about to kill the woman he grew to love...

With his eyes closed he said
“I love you darling..”
A tear ran down his cheeks as sweat trickling his hands.
“I’m sorry.”
He said as he opened his eyes for a last time, tears still going down his cheeks.

“Goodbye.”
A tear ran down as the trigger was pulled.

***
I felt the bullet go through my head, he was the last thing i ever saw, i fell to the floor, bleeding.

Tom watched in disbelief as my lifeless body fell to the floor.

He looked at the gun in his hands, he dropped it instantly. All this had to be a nightmare, it didn’t happen, no! A tear rolled down his cheeks as he fell to his knees.

“No.. No... No..... This can’t be happening... No! D-dearest please wake up!”

He stood there motionless as he stared at me, tears running down his cheeks.

Tom looked at me helplessly as he crawled to my body and held her tight.

“No! No! No!! This cant be happening! It cant! Please! Please!! D-darling wake up! Wake up!! Im begging you!”

He was crying uncontrollably, shaking my body trying to wake me up. No, he couldn’t stand this reality, the love of his life, gone forever.

***
Tom sits in his room, thinking about what he’ve done. The love of his life, killed with his own hands. He can’t forgive himself, he can’t stand this reality. The blood on his clothes as he was about to put on the washing machine, the gun on the floor... No, he couldn’t live like this.

He looks at his handgun on the floor, holding it for a few seconds before he pointed it at his head. Tears rolled down his cheek, and the trigger was pulled.

And thats where it all ended, he pulled the trigger, a loud bang was heard as he fell to the floor next to me. Atleast we died together like i have always wanted.

As the gunshot sound was heard in the building, the neighbours in the apartments nearby went to check on the noise, in hopes to find out what was going on. The door was unlocked, and they found Tom and Me lying on the floor, lifeless bodies, holding their hands like they were in love.
