Three whole months ...
Three whole months in this dark castle. It was God's punishment to live with her husband's curse in this gloomy, cold, frightening castle.
After her husband's death, time moved like a turtle for some reason. Or rather, after she killed her husband, anyway. At first they had a good, stable marriage. Although her husband was an earl, he took care of his wife, sometimes buying her flowers, chatting at dinner if he wasn't tired, having passionate moments at night. But for some reason she couldn't get pregnant, even after 2 years of marriage there was still no baby. 2 years may seem like a short time, but it was a long time in that era. And her husband was a count who owned the village. Even the butler's wife was pregnant with her 9th child, so the rumors started. The earl's wife was barren, the earl's lineage would end with her, he should take a new wife, etc. Many more words like these were coming to the ears of the husband and wife.

At first the count did not pay attention to these words because he was so much in love with his wife that he could not see anyone else but her. His wife had a beauty that would make even goddesses jealous. With her long flame hair, her green eyes, her plump feminine body, she was a magnificent woman who could not take his eyes off her. People in the village even bet that she would not have married him if he had not been an earl. Because unlike his wife, her husband was a skinny, pale man, but fortunately he had a good temper. But this good nature began to fade as his wife could not get pregnant. They had been married for almost 5 years now, but she was still getting her period regularly. This caused her husband to adopt new habits. He no longer bought flowers on his way home from work, when he ate, he only cared about what he ate and got up from the table, he got angry at the slightest thing and threw whatever he had at the walls, and at night, passionate lovemaking was replaced by hard, fast, emotionless sex. The woman kept silent even though it hurt, praying inwardly for it to end. When it was over, he would get dressed and leave her in his cold bed. Until morning she begged God to give her a son and end her ordeal. But as the days passed, the woman's hope began to fade and her husband began to use violence as well as verbal abuse, forcing himself on her against her will. He would not allow her to go anywhere other than the castle where they lived and condemned her to live in the dungeon of the castle for a week, as if it was her fault that she could not get pregnant on her menstrual days. She spent that week without food or water while her husband was busy making love to the maid in their bed. Every day, when the dungeon was very quiet, she heard their amorous moans and was more and more devastated. The servant girl was still young, and it didn't take her long to win him over with her flirtatious behavior.

One night, while she was asleep in her bed, he opened the door violently and entered the room. She could smell alcohol and women coming from him. Tonight she had a new courage because she was tired of his cruelty to her. She was going to tell him that she would divorce him, that she could put him in a convent if necessary, but she wanted to get out of this dark castle. Her husband came up to her and said:
"Undress and turn around!" he ordered, as usual.
The woman said, first in a weak voice, then in a stronger voice: "no, NO!
The Count started to laugh. She became even more angry: "You will not touch me anymore, I will divorce you, I will even go before the king if I have to.
After hearing these words, the man got angry and slapped her, threw his weight on her, tore her clothes and tried to force himself on her.
She was prepared for this, but she took a knife out from under the pillow and stabbed him hard in the back as he tried to bite her breasts.
Before he could even react she stabbed him repeatedly in the back, stabbing him more times than she could count, and after the blood was everywhere she threw her husband's dead body over him.
The woman could not come to her senses for a while and stared at her husband's corpse on the bed for 1 hour. At the end of 1 hour she came to her senses, she had to get rid of the evidence and get herself out of this, she could not be executed because of her sick husband. Fortunately it was Sunday and the staff at home had the day off, so she had to get everything done by tomorrow morning and pretend that the house had been broken into. First she took off her own bloody clothes, removed the bloody sheets from the bed and replaced them with new ones, washed the knife thoroughly and left it in the cupboard in the kitchen, dragged her husband to the front door, made it look like a murder by putting him face down on the floor, scattered the things around to make it look like a struggle, threw everything bloody in the fireplace and burned it. He was too cold-blooded in all this. After he had done it all, he hit himself on the head with a vase and let the blood run down his chin, yes, it was definitely more convincing that way.
As the servants arrived in the early morning light, she threw herself on the floor and pretended to be unconscious so that no one would suspect her. The policemen and detectives who arrived only offered their condolences to the distraught widow. In fact, at first, after she got over the shock of the incident, she was even glad to be rid of her husband. How could she not be happy that her murderous husband was no more and all her fortune was left to her. These thoughts drove her to countless fantasies every night, maybe she could even find herself a secret lover, after all, someone had to fulfill the feminine needs that her husband had neglected. Maybe the young blonde detective who came to investigate the last case, maybe her husband's former lawyer...
How could she have imagined that these dreams would be interrupted by the sudden appearance of her husband's ghost in the night. After all, there was no such thing as ghosts, there couldn't be. But it was none other than her husband, who was staring at her on the edge of her bed, watching her with the knife he had killed her with. He didn't speak, just stared at her, and she couldn't even move for fear. She was able to overcome her fear and say:
"What do you want from me, how can this be?
The ghost just smiled silently, watched her for a long time and said: "We will see more of each other from now on, my dear wife" and plunged the knife right into her heart.

El Castillo Embrujado
https://www.pexels.com/tr-tr/fotograf/siyah-beton-yapi-2416463/
Tres meses enteros...
Tres meses enteros en este oscuro castillo. Fue un castigo de Dios vivir con la maldición de su marido en este castillo lúgubre, frío y aterrador.
Tras la muerte de su marido, el tiempo se movía como una tortuga por alguna razón. O mejor dicho, habría que decir después de que matara a su marido, pero en fin. Al principio tenían un matrimonio bueno y organizado. Aunque su marido era un conde, cuidaba de su esposa, a veces le compraba flores, charlaba durante la cena si no estaba cansado, y por la noche tenían momentos de pasión. Pero pase lo que pase, la mujer no pudo quedarse embarazada, aunque habían pasado 2 años desde su matrimonio, todavía no había ningún bebé en el medio. 2 años pueden parecer poco tiempo, pero era mucho tiempo en aquella época. Y su marido era un conde dueño del pueblo. Incluso la mujer del criado estaba embarazada de su noveno hijo, por lo que empezaron los rumores. La esposa del conde era infértil, el linaje del conde terminaría con él, debería tomar una nueva esposa, etc. Muchas más palabras como éstas llegaban a los oídos de los esposos. Al principio, el conde no prestó atención a estas palabras porque estaba tan enamorado de su esposa que no podía ver a nadie más que a ella. Cómo no pudo ver que su esposa tenía una belleza que haría que hasta las diosas estuvieran celosas. Con su larga cabellera flamígera, sus ojos verdes y su regordete cuerpo femenino, era una mujer magnífica que no podía llevarse los ojos de quien la miraba.

La gente del pueblo había apostado incluso que si su marido no era un conde, no se casaría con él. Porque a diferencia de su esposa, su marido era un hombre flaco y pálido, pero afortunadamente tenía buen carácter. Pero este buen humor empezó a desaparecer cuando su mujer no pudo quedarse embarazada. Hacía casi 5 años que se habían casado, pero ella seguía menstruando regularmente. Esta situación hizo que su marido adoptara nuevos hábitos. Ya no compraba flores a la vuelta del trabajo, cuando comía sólo se interesaba por lo que comía y se levantaba de la mesa, se enfadaba a la mínima y lanzaba contra las paredes todo lo que tenía en las manos, y por la noche el sexo duro, rápido y sin emoción había sustituido a las relaciones amorosas apasionadas. Aunque la mujer estaba dolida, guardó silencio y rezó para que terminara. Cuando terminaba, su marido se vestía y la dejaba en su fría cama. Hasta que por la mañana, la mujer rogó a Dios que le diera un hijo y acabara con este calvario. Pero con el paso de los días, la esperanza de la mujer comenzó a desvanecerse, su marido empezó a utilizar la violencia, además de los abusos verbales, y comenzó a poseerla a la fuerza contra su voluntad. No permitió que la mujer fuera a otro lugar que no fuera el castillo donde vivían, y la condenó a vivir en la mazmorra del castillo durante 1 semana, como si fuera culpa suya no poder quedarse embarazada durante sus días de menstruación. Mientras ella pasaba esa semana sin comida ni agua, su marido estaba ocupado haciendo el amor con la criada en su cama. Cuando el calabozo estaba muy silencioso, su mujer oía sus gemidos amorosos y cada día se deprimía más. La sirvienta era todavía joven, y no tardó en conquistarlo con su comportamiento coqueto.

Una noche, mientras ella dormía en la cama, él abrió la puerta con violencia y entró en la habitación. Podía oler el olor a alcohol y a mujer que provenía de él. Esta noche tenía un nuevo valor porque estaba cansada de su crueldad hacia ella. Iba a decirle que se iba a divorciar de él, que podía meterlo en un convento si era necesario, pero quería salir de ese oscuro castillo. Su marido se acercó a ella y le dijo:
"¡Desvístete y date la vuelta!", ordenó, como siempre.
La mujer dijo, primero con voz débil, luego con voz más fuerte: "¡No, NO!
El Conde se echó a reír. La mujer se enfadó aún más: "No me tocarás más, me divorciaré de ti, incluso me presentaré ante el rey si es necesario.
Tras escuchar estas palabras, el hombre se enfadó y abofeteó a la mujer, puso su peso sobre ella, le rompió la ropa e intentó poseerla por la fuerza.
Ella estaba preparada para esto, pero sacó el cuchillo de debajo de la almohada y lo apuñaló con fuerza en la espalda mientras él intentaba morderle los pechos.
Antes de que el hombre pudiera reaccionar, ella le apuñaló repetidamente en la espalda, apuñalándole tantas veces que ya no pudo contar el número de veces, y después de que la sangre estuviera por todas partes, arrojó el cadáver de su marido sobre él.
La mujer no pudo volver en sí durante un tiempo y contempló el cadáver de su marido en la cama durante una hora. Al final de 1 hora, ella entró en razón, primero tenía que eliminar las pruebas y salvarse de este trabajo, no podía ser ejecutada por su marido enfermo. Afortunadamente, hoy era domingo y los empleados de la casa estaban libres, tenía que hacer todo hasta mañana por la mañana y fingir que un ladrón había entrado en la casa. Primero se quitó su propia ropa ensangrentada, quitó las sábanas ensangrentadas de la cama y las sustituyó por otras nuevas, lavó bien el cuchillo y lo dejó en el armario de la cocina, arrastró a su marido frente a la puerta, lo puso boca abajo en el suelo y lo hizo parecer un asesinato, esparció las cosas por ahí y creó la impresión de una lucha, tiró todo ensangrentado a la chimenea y lo quemó. Tuvo demasiada sangre fría en todo esto. Una vez hecho todo, se golpeó en la cabeza con un jarrón y provocó que la sangre corriera por su barbilla, sí, definitivamente era más convincente así.
Cuando los criados llegaron de madrugada, se tiró al suelo y fingió estar inconsciente para que nadie sospechara. Los policías y detectives que llegaron sólo ofrecieron sus condolencias a la triste viuda. De hecho, cuando la mujer superó el shock de este incidente, incluso empezó a alegrarse de haberse librado de su marido. Cómo no iba a alegrarse de que su marido asesino ya no existiera y de que toda su riqueza quedara en sus manos. Estos pensamientos la conducían a innumerables fantasías cada noche, tal vez incluso podría encontrar un amante secreto, después de todo, alguien tenía que satisfacer las necesidades femeninas que su marido había descuidado. Quizá la joven detective rubia que vino a investigar el último caso, quizá el antiguo abogado de su marido...
Cómo iba a imaginar que esos sueños se verían interrumpidos por el fantasma de su marido, que aparecía de repente en la noche. Al fin y al cabo, los fantasmas no existen, no pueden existir. Pero no era otro que su marido, que ahora estaba en el borde de su cama mirándola y observándola con el cuchillo con el que la mató. Él no habló, sólo la miró fijamente, y ella no pudo ni moverse por miedo. Fue capaz de superar su miedo y decir:
"¿Qué quieres de mí, cómo puede ser esto?
El fantasma sólo sonrió en silencio y observó a su esposa durante mucho tiempo y dijo: "A partir de ahora nos veremos más, mi querida esposa" y le clavó el cuchillo en el corazón.

Wow, what a story, how can someone be so heartless, and by that I mean the earl, his heart had already been stabbed to pieces by his wife. Did he deserve it?, I cannot say but treating a wife that way is a callous thing to do..
Great story my dear ❤️
Thank you ♥️ Maybe he didn't deserve it but I thought a little bit feminist 😅
This is wonderful story with lots of emotion involved. You me hooked from the beginning of your story and it was a wonderful read. Earl's suffered alot of emotional traumas which pushed her to kill her husband, but in the end I see that you portray the law of ' a life for life' when the Earl came back to take revenge.
I enjoyed your story well done. Fight to write more and improve more.
Thank youu ♥️ Definately 'a life for life'. At the first woman killed for her life and then Man. It's going....
Wow her husband killed her with same knife she stabbed him severally with..wow!! That's just cold, who knew ghost could kill.lolz.
I love this...clear and straight to the point 😊

That story was epic! Maybe you should start to write a novel 😂. A man must behave his wife kind and mustn't upset her. That's what ı am going to do to my little kitty.
Yeah Actually I have plans writing a novel. I wish everybody could be like you honey ♥️
¡Pobre mujer! ni aun de muerto se libró de el. En aquellos tiempos era pecado capital no ser fértil y casi siempre se lo atribuían a la mujer...era terrible ¡Excelente historia, suerte!
