The death of a star
#WritcoStoryPrompt43
The scandal could ring the death of his career. The naked woman in his bed lay with unseeing eyes staring at him. He stood over her with a knife in his hand and no memory of who she was or why he had killed her.
All that matters is that no one
will know of his dirty secret.
The anxiety, the blood-stained knife and what little guilt he had, buried in a shallow grave, all of this to save his reputation, his "all-too-perfect patriarch" persona. The so-called loving husband his wife tells to her friends in their frequent soirées. Surely, the scandal will destroy what he had build: A tale of Jekyll and Hyde, infidelity and cold blood murder.
Yet she will come for penance. He will be reminded of her. She will be a figment of his conscience, the psychological dilemma of it all.
Yes, she will be a reminder of torment, along with his cold crimes,
be unearthed.
