Pleasure Reading 4

After the ball, Maxim told about her ex-wife's death. It turned out that there was a heavy gale when Rebbeca sailed. Her boat was turned over and Rebbeca died from serious injuries. And in some time after their talk, a diver investigating the condition of the wrecked ship's hull also discovered the remains of Rebecca's boat. The investigations showed new circumstances: before the tragedy, Rebbeca had got a mortal blow. Maxim confessed the truth to his wife: his marriage to Rebecca was nothing but a sham. From the very first days husband and wife had loathed each other. Rebecca was a cruel and selfish woman who manipulated everyone around her. She had had a lot of love affairs with different men, and that ill-fated day she said about her pregnancy from another man. She had intentionally provoked him, at which point he had shooted her, leading to her death. Then, fearing to be hanged, he had disposed of her body on her boat and had sunk it at sea.
