Learning that flowers were disappearing from his wife’s grave, a wealthy man installed a camera. But when he watched the video, he was left speechless

And you’re a fool, a loser. I hate you. Those words brought him to his senses.

He realised what kind of person she was. Suddenly a thought came to him. Better if she had died.

At least the memory would have remained bright. Did you tie me up to rob me? Yes, I knew you would find me. We were prepared for this, but you took so long to find us.

Anyway, I know the safe codes well. And what are you going to do with me afterwards? Kill you. You’ll disappear without a trace.

Understand? And that’s it. And I’ll leave. Everyone will think you just took the money and ran away.

And no one will suspect the widow. An image of Adam and Sophia formed in Mike’s mind. How would they be without him? The investigator who found you through me knows you’re alive.

They’ll catch you and put you in jail. Kate, don’t do anything stupid. Murder will imprison you for a long time.

Take the money and leave. And remember, I still have a daughter. You know that.

You don’t have a daughter. Sophia objectively will be better off in a shelter. Killing you has been my dream since the day of our wedding.

I hate people like you. You ruined my life. Michael sincerely didn’t understand why she was so angry with him.

Yes, not everything was smooth, but not to this extent. Catherine left, and he started thinking about how to escape. He looked around, tried all possible ways, yelled, called for help, but no one came.

Desperate, Michael began to pray, then decided to be cunning, asked to use the bathroom. But once again no one responded to his call. Only towards evening did Catherine and her lover descend into the basement.

That’s it, buddy, wake up. It’s time to die. The dark-haired man with narrow brown eyes said viciously.

Michael asked to use the bathroom, but he was simply thrown into the trunk of the car. Jacob turned out to be stronger than he seemed. He lifted the bound Michael and effortlessly placed him in the trunk.

In doing so, Michael was severely injured. His legs and arms hurt like hell from the ropes. The road tossed him inside.

He clearly understood that these were his last minutes of life. What to do? He began to recall the happiest moments of his life. Some from childhood, some from adolescence, victories at competitions, the smile of the most beautiful girl in class, a diploma with honors.

Then his adult life, the army, where Mike went by his own will. It was hard there, and he regretted his decision to serve many times, but in the end he was proud of himself. Then all the good memories were already associated with Kate, and after that with Sophia, with Adam.

How would they manage without him now? His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the engine dying down. The shaking stopped, the car stopped. Soon there were the sounds of doors slamming, and a minute later the trunk opened.

They say you complained that your wife’s grave is empty. We’ll fix that now. Some alcoholics approached Kate, and she gave them money.

They had shovels in their hands. Michael understood. They brought him to the cemetery from the back so that the guards wouldn’t see.

It was dark. Jacob turned off the engine. The cemetery keeper’s booth was far away.

He wouldn’t be able to shout loud enough. Mike realized that if he screamed, they would just hit him on the head and bury him unconscious. Amazingly, this evening turned out to be very warm.

On such an evening, one would want to of streetlights rather than preparing for premature death in a cemetery at the hands of a loving spouse. Michael was brought to Catherine’s excavated grave. Next to it stood a coffin containing remains that were then passed off as hers.

Who would have thought you’d be lying in my grave, huh? Kate smirked. Mike realized she was insane. How could he have lived with her for so long without noticing? You know, I cried at this grave.

I wanted to come to you. Thought about being ready to die and lie down next to you. It hurts so much, Michael confessed.

Despite everything, he loved her, truly loved her. His words struck Catherine. She looked at her lover fearfully.

He understood she might get emotional and change her mind. Yet there was still something human left in her. Go to the car.

I’ll finish up here, Jacob said. Kate nodded and walked away, eyes downcast. They threw Michael into the coffin and started nailing it shut.

Panic engulfed him. This is it, echoed in his mind. He struggled with all his might, but the ropes cut into him so deeply they were already soaked in blood.

Then they simply dropped the coffin into the grave. Michael lost consciousness from the impact. When he opened his eyes, he heard dirt being thrown on top.

He screamed with all his might, and suddenly everything went silent. Nothing happened for some time. Maybe they’ve already buried me, he thought.

Suddenly someone stepped on the coffin lid. Help, help, Mike screamed in panic. In the next moment, the lid of the coffin creaked open.

He saw the face of a bearded stranger. He held a shovel. Above the grave stood Adam, wiping his nose.

And what would you do without me, he asked proudly. The gravedigger helped Mike out of the grave. It turned out Adam had disobeyed and run away from the orphanage to the graveyard.

The boys had teased him all day, calling him names, and he couldn’t take it anymore, so he ran away. He had been sitting on her grave until late evening and was about to leave when he saw Michael dragging some stranger through the cemetery. Behind him was the woman he had seen there before…
