By Elizabeth RenteriaPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 3 min read

I look up to Adam in disbelief and terrified , I said why are you doing this ? He says doing what you are mine I live here do you not remember? I said what are you talking about the only person I’ve lived here with was my husband who passed away several years ago. He said oh really well since we are on that topic let’s discuss about what happened years ago Veronica . I look at him as if he was talking nonsense I say who’s Vernonica he says you are , you are my wife Veronica . I said my name is Emily . He argues and says no that was John’s wife’s name you are my wife Veronica now that John is gone, we can finally be happy like we talked about . I’m still very confused at this point not knowing what to say . He talks about the day I discovered my husband years ago he asked where did I go on vacation, I stated I went to the beach in Los Angeles , CA. He said that’s very interesting he then asks who were you with , I stated I was meeting a friend who lived out there . He said again that very amusing to hear. He the pulls out his phone and says do you want to know where you actually were that day , i said what are you talking about I was in Los Angeles , he said try again . He then shows me a picture of him and i in my town the day of my husband's death . I tell him this is obviously edited and not real but then shows the date and time it was taken. It was taken on 06/12/2019 on a Tuesday afternoon the day and time my dear husband John was killed . I’m so confused and emotional I didn’t remember anything about these pictures I didn’t know what I was doing with Adam that day ! Was I a cheater ? What happened that day and why did I take a picture right in front of my house . Adam then looks at her and begins to explain what happened the day of her husband's death . It was a warm sunny day and the date was 06/12/2019 you were home and had a busy day you decided to order some food from the same delivery guy you have always come to the house , you decided to invite him in this time and little did you know that would of been the worst mistake you possibly could have done . I arrived to the house from a business trip earlier then expected I entered the house but I heard the shower running as I was going up to join you i heard a males voice from the living room and to my surprise it was John our regular delivery driver. I stared at him for 30 secs and he was completely shocked I yelled out you bastard and began to scuffle with John before I knew it I heard you running down the stairs screaming my name but you slipped on your towel and fell down the stairs and busted your head .I turn away for a sec and John punches me in the face which led me to tackle him but when I tackled him he hit his head on the corner of our coffee table and instantly was dead. There was a pool of blood under you that’s why you remember pools of blood when walking around the house, you seen John on the living room floor and thought that was your husband . But oh were you wrong, you thought you went on vacation because you were supposed to be leaving that same day . I left as soon as I heard you running down and seen the news of what happened to you . So you see Veronica a little backstory to how we met was that I was your original delivery guy at first , I proposed to you at that restaurant the same way I did in your so called dream, and reason why I was willing to watch crime shows is because that is all we would watch together. I wanted you to remember so that you could know who you really are before I killed you next . The thing I said about Emily being johns wife is because John was actually married to a Emily and you took on her personality for some reason when you hit your head. Veronica now remembering what happened and who Adam was and why that picture was taken it was the day they bought the home together . Veronica drops down to her knees and apologizes and begs for forgiveness but adam carelessly points a gun to her head and says remember me well and pulls the trigger.
