I had always imagined a future with Simon,from the moment we met in college, everything felt right. He was the only thing i could ever want,a kind heart,a sharp mind,and a smile that always made my day.
We had plans.we used to talk about marriage, about kids, about our house, everything. He proposed to me last year and we set the date for next summer. It felt like our lives were falling perfectly into place. But somewhere along the way, something changed. The man who once couldn't wait to build a life with me, became more distant,more withdrawn.
At first,i thought it was just the stress from work,but it wasn't that. Simon was pulling away and it terrified me. I could feel it in his words,in the way he no longer seemed as invested in our future together.
It started with small things. At first,he didn't want to talk about the wedding as much,then he began showing up late at home and i found him on his phone more than usual.
I wasn't being paranoid,he was changing and i had to fix it,i had to make sure we stayed on the right path,our path. That's when i started thinking about our future, especially about our health.
If we were going to have children,i have to make sure we would be in our best shape possible. So, i began taking charge of his diet. I started planning his meals, healthy nutritious meals that would give us the best chance in having a happy, healthy family.
I would prepare his launch boxes,make sure he ate on time and i even started controlling his sleep schedules. I was doing this for us, for our future.
It wasn't easy at first,but i was convinced it was the right thing to do. Simon didn't seem to understand why i was so adamant about it, but he didn't need to. He was just being stubborn. He always complained about the meals i prepared for him but i wasn't backing down,it was for his own,it was for our good.
And then,that one day came. I had prepared his launch box as usual but Simon forgot it at home,i couldn't let it slide. I drove to his office packed with his launch and arrived there to see him sitting with a woman.
She was smiling at him and he was smiling back. They were eating junk food. I felt my heart sink into my stomach. Simon had forgotten his launch and instead of eating the food i made for him,he was eating junk food with another woman,i couldn't understand why he would do that.
I felt betrayed but i said nothing. I went home that day,my mind swirling with anger.From that point on, things got worse. I started questioning him more,i checked his phone,i asked him about his colleague but he always reassured me that it was nothing,that they were just friends. But i didn't believe him.
Every little thing he did felt like a betrayal. Every time he came home late or left his phone lying around,i couldn't stop myself from looking.
One evening,Simon came home late looking exhausted. I'd been waiting for him to come back,i noticed something strange,the smell of alcohol on his breath.
My suspicion flared up. He was out drinking and i had no idea where he had been,i couldn't just let it go. He told me i was being paranoid, but i could tell he was hiding something and when he mentioned breaking off the engagement,i felt my world crumble.
My heart pounded in my chest. Was he really going to leave me?...was it all over?. I was broken but i also felt something darker swirl inside me. I couldn't let him go,i wasn't going to let him walk away,i wasn't ready to be alone and i wasn't going to let him have freedom to do whatever he wanted. So,i did something drastic.
I remember the night i made this decision. I'd seen an ad for a product online. Something that claimed it could solve all your problems. I didn't even question it,i thought that if i could just make Simon stay, then everything would be okay.
The ad said it was a special kind of solution. That it could help you with anything that was troubling you. So i bought it without hesitation.
When it arrived,i didn't think twice,i wasn't thinking clearly. I Mixed the powder into a cup of water and gave it to the cat. I thought nothing of it at the time,but when the cat collapsed on the floor,i panicked.
My heart raced as i saw it lying lifeless,i didn't know what to do,i couldn't handle the guilt,but u didn't have time to think. I texted Simon,i told him what happened, not in detail though, hoping he'd come back and help me fix it.
When he arrived,i was in full blown panic mode. He didn't even look at me like he used to. He was distant,cold,like i wasn't even there.
He helped me wrap up the cats body but i could see in his eyes thay he was done,he didn't want to be with me anymore and that's when the idea hit me.
I handed him the drink,the one i had mixed earlier. He took it barely noticing and and then, just like that,he collapsed. His eyes rolled back,he was gone. I couldn't believe it. I had killed him. It felt like i was in a dream, trapped in a nightmare of my own making.
I dragged Simon's body and the cats body into the car and i drove ,i didn't know where i was going. The car hit the side of a clif. I don't remember much after that. I just remember the crash,the pain,then everything went blank.
I woke up in the hospital,my body bruised and broken. The police were there, they told me what had happened,now I'm here, in prison and I'm not sure if i regret anything. At least Simon can't hurt me anymore,he won't be able to leave me🙂
