Dear Diary,

I had just returned to my prison jail after my interview with Sir Matthew. I was highly strung and sensitive because he interrogated me with questions that made me feel uncomfortable with the situation. Sir Matthew knew I was responsible for my husband’s murder. So, I pretended to be in the hospital when my husband was dead, because he hited me, so I need to go to the hospital because I pretended to be blind. However, Sir Matthes did not believed my version of the story. I felt in hurry. My heart was beating fast every passing moment.

Nevertheless, while Sir. Matthew was interrogating me, he took his glass eye from the socket. I couldn’t resist the impact when the man extracted his eye from the socket. The reaction of my face was full of fright. Due to this, the lawyers realised that I wasn’t blind and that my case was manslaughter.

Lastly, I think I would be in jail for a couple of year and then I expect to be in total freedom so I can repair the damaged I had caused to my husband and my family.
