The Beheaded
Lover
As the
seasons started to change, the expecting mother gazed out the front
windows of the living room. The couple had lived at 1861
Briar Wood Drive over 10 years. The house was old with wood
floors
that creaked and huge maple trees in the front that swayed when the
wind would blow. She watched the school children walk by kicking
the freshly cut grass off of the sidewalk. She wondered what her
life would be like when her baby arrived. Diane looked at the
clock and began to feel lonely. Her husband, Stephan, was
supposed
to be home three hours ago. Due to his rigorous work schedule at
the military base, the couple had grown apart.
Diane had filed
for divorce several times before, but Stephan promised her that this
time it would be different. As Diane waited on the couch, she
realized that things were not going to change. The phone rang,
and Diane answered hoping it would be her husband. To her
surprise it was Gregory. Gregory was a friend of the couples and
worked with Stephan years prior to his marriage with Diane. Diane
had become very close to Gregory over the past year and loved to have
long conversations about everyday events. Soon their
conversations became more than friendly visits. Diane had fallen
in love with Gregory and found herself pregnant months later.
Stephan did
not know that the baby was not his. Later in the week Diane
decided to go and visit a girlfriend for the weekend.
Stephan
came home from work that Saturday night and found his wife's diary on
the bed. Feeling guilty for not spending enough time with his
wife, he decided to read in order to find out her true feelings.
To his shock Diane had wrote about her love affair with Gregory.
The following week Diane was hospitalized due to her pregnancy.
Diane had also filed for divorce the week before she went out of
town. Stephan wanted to confront his wife on his findings.
Diane admitted to having an affair with Gregory in their house.
She also told him that the child was not his, but Gregory's.
Stephan rushed out of the
room. He searched for Gregory and found
him in a nearby phone booth talking to Diane! Stephan pulled out
a knife and stabbed Gregory several times and then cut off his
head. He grabbed a gym bag out of his truck and stuffed the head
into it. His shirt was stained with blood, but he was like a
machine, not caring about anything at this point. He rushed into
Diane's hospital room and told Diane that she could sleep with Gregory
forever in their house now!
As he said those words, he pulled
out Gregory's decapitated head and placed it in Diane's lap.
Blood was everywhere. Diane screamed at the top of her lungs in
disbelief. Soon the doctors came into the room and found Stephan
sitting on the end of Diane's bed forcing her to look at the bloody
head. Stephan was convicted of murder in the first degree,
court-martialed, and sentenced to serve one life sentence.
Gregory
paid the ultimate price for messing around with another man's
wife.
THIS STORY
IS 100 % TRUE!!!!
Author's
Notes
When I wrote this story, I wanted it to be
as real as possible. The character names are real as well as the
hospital setting. I did add the description of the house to the
story. The original story did not discuss the house
setting. The original story did not have as much detail, but
almost everything in this story was accurate.
I wanted to include a story like this in my
story book for two reasons: it was a true story and I do not believe in
affairs. I do not think that someone should be killed, but I do
think that this situation stresses the seriousness of an affair.
I also think that the situation could have been avoided if Diane would
have divorced Stephan much earlier than she did.
