PROCEED WITH CAUTION...
I've been reading this book called "World's greatest crimes of passion" mainly about jealous lovers metting justice (with vengeance ofcourse) to their lovers. Don't give me that look I'm not planning anything vindictive against my ex... the thought did cross my mind but since I did the ending of that funny biz we had going on I guess I don't have the right to throw a jealous fit.
Anyway I digress, so this book is sooooooo bloody interesting I can hardly put it down. Based on true accounts that happened around 1900s in france (the city of love mosdef!) and england (can't blame them what with theater being associated with promiscuity during those times) and wild west in the states (shortage of women resulting to duels that had nothing to do with cattles). Lakini jealousy is such a monster! Imagine this case where a woman confesses to her fiance b4 marriage how she aint using her real name but can't disclose why. Still he says he'll marry her (with lingering suspicion) and then decides to snoop in her flat when she's out and discovers a telegram with words like "I still have love for you, I'm coming to see you 2nyt we'll put the past behind us and start afresh"
He hides in the apartment waiting for them, the woman comes in immediately followed by a young man they embrace. The other guy jumps out of hiding separates them and stabs the man in the back with a cuttlery knife. He falls down his life ebbing away as he bleeds while the other woman screams,"You murder, u just killed my brother."
Apparently the bro wrote the telegram as he was being released from prison that morning and they were using alias names to avoid being stigmatized against by the society. He had just come to see her b4 going off to look for a job the next day.... tsk tsk tsk jealousy can be blinding.
