I was crying at my husbands funeral. He was my seventh. It was hard to believe he was gone. It took months for the posion to kick in. At the rate he was going, I thought he would live forever. It was easy enough faking a tear or two, I learned to cry from my actress step mother, before I poisoned her so my father wouldn’t change his will. I enjoyed being rich, and always inheriting my husbands fortunes ensured it would stay that way. I was the best kind of widow, a black widow.
