Answers to Her Questions

Third Person's POV

"Why are you here?" He coldly asked.
"I.. I want to ask you some questions.." She nervously said while fidgeting.
"Why?" He said and raised his eyebrow. She let out shaky breaths before answering.

"I.. want to clear my mind.." She said, almost a whisper.

Her chest feels tight and it seems like she's out of breath because of the pain and nervousness she is currently feeling.

"Go on.." He said, getting impatient with too much drama. She hung her head low.
"Why... why do you have to do that?" She asked with sadness in her voice. Tears started falling from her eyes.

"Do what? Stop with the nonsense! I shouldn't talk to you right now and you're aware of that!" He shouted.

She took a deep breath and raised her head.
"Why did you believe her over me?" She asked without stuttering.
"What?"
"Why did you believe her over me?"
"What are you talking.. Okay! I believed her because she's telling the truth!" He said, anger evident in his eyes.

"How did you know she was telling the truth?" She exclaimed and stood up from her seat.
"I just know!" He also exclaimed as he stood up from his seat as well.

"Then why..." She couldn't continue what she was going to say because of the continuous sobs that are escaping from her mouth. The man in front of her didn't even feel guilty.

"Why do you have to kill me? I wasn't cheating on you.." She said and sobbed. Her tears are falling nonstop as the man she was talking to took a step back in surprise.

"What.."
"Why did you have to murder me!? Out of all people, why you!?" She angrily shouted.

She wants answers. Answers that can give her the peace she is longing for.

"How did.." He asked as he recalled the time when he killed her. He was wearing a mask so how did she know that it was him?

"You killed me! I want justice!" With one last word, she disappeared.

"Justice..."

He slumped on the floor as his guilt started consuming him. What he did hit him like a wrecking ball.

"What have I done.."

He slapped himself. It was too late before he realized. It was too late before he realized that he killed her.

A few minutes later, police sirens can be heard outside his house. He couldn't do anything. He got caught and found guilty for murdering his one and only wife.
