Caught in the dots

My wife is a murderer

It was raining. All I could hear was the rain. I was waiting in the living room. The clock was ticking tik-tok tik-tok. I looked at my phone. It was already 11:23pm. I still can't believe something that big happened just an hour ago. I was anxiously waiting for her.

Kerchak— the door opened. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful ginger hair she had. Her ginger hair never fails to surprise me. The shoes she was wearing were wet. She was dripping. I quickly hurried and brought her a towel and helped her wipe off.

"Where were you?" I asked my wife Selene while handing her the towel. She didn't respond. I was surprised; that was really unusual of Selene. She has never ignored me or my questions. If she was uncomfortable answering any question she would tell me but now it was different. She didn't even look at me. This made me feel really weird and sad. That was not how my wife used to be.

But this all made one thing sure. It made me believe what I was suspecting. My wife is a murderer. Not just a murderer, she is a serial killer. Oh how I wish it weren't real. No matter what, I was not ready to accept the reality. Will she get arrested now? Will she be taken away from me now? I was thinking to myself. No, I will not let that happen. The only way she would be arrested is through me reporting it to the police. So if I just pretend it never happened, no one would harm her. I love my wife so much. I can surely do that. I can save her. I can save her from getting arrested. I can save her from getting hurt. And I will. I will do anything to protect my wife.

Flashback to 2 days earlier

"Love~" i said while cuddling with my lovely wife

"Hmmm~" my wife replied back

"What do you hate the most in the world?" i asked

"Getting caught" she replied

" oh that's weird, why would you hate to get caught when you have done nothing wrong" i asked

" not me but my loved ones" she said which made me love her even more. How could anyone be so sweet and lovely?

It was dinner time. I cooked food today because Selene whined about how she missed my food. I called her to come eat but she was not in the house. I didn't even realize it until I called for her. I don't even remember what happened after we cuddled together. I thought she would come back in a while and we could start eating. So I waited. I waited 10 minutes and she didn't come, 20 minutes she was still not here, 30 minutes and I started getting worried. Why is she not home yet? Did something happen to her? I was really terrified so I decided to head out to search for her. Just as I opened the front door, my wife came back. She was about to come inside when she came back.

She was sweaty and looked weird. What's more weird is that she had some blood in her hands. " How did you get blood in your hands? Are you okay? Did you get hurt?" I panicked.

"Nothing happened. I was just helping a man go to the ambulance because he was injured" she replied.

Although it was weird I didn't really pay attention.

"Where were you?" I asked to which she just stared at me shocked.
