In the morning, Alix woke up very early in order to escape but she made too much noise and Gerald woke up too. When he asked her where she was going she got so scared that she started to cry. For a few seconds her husband was confused. He didn’t know what to do. Alix hesitated for a long time.
She was actually trying to find a lie otherwise she was a dead woman. She was staring at him, petrified until she found the perfect lie. She told Gerald that her mother was extremely ill and that she could die any time soon that is why she had to see her. Alix’s lie was perfect even if she had forgotten an important thing : her husband knew that her mother died three years ago !
Alix didn’t realize her mistake but her husband did ! He was smiling. She was sobbing. Gerald put his hands around her neck as if trying to strangle her. Alix was shocked. Gerald could see despair in her eyes. She was begging her husband not to kill her. Alix died a few minutes later.
