"Hi, Chelsie!"

Janet beamed as she greeted Chelsie, her longtime best friend from high school.

"Hey, Janet!" replied Chelsie. "So, what's the good news? You sounded so excited on the phone!"

"OK, here it is!" Janet said, "I'm getting married!" The two women gave a celebratory scream as they hugged each other.

"Congrats, girl!" said Chelsie. "I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you so much!" said Janet. "I feel so...elated; over the moon. I have you to thank for this."

"OK, OK, so come on!" exclaimed Chelsie. "Spill it! Who's the lucky guy?" Janet responded by taking out her cellphone and showing her a photo of herself with her fiancé, but was suddenly shocked over what she saw.

"Stephen?!"

Before Chelsie could express even more shock, Janet came from behind and jabbed a syringe into Chelsie's neck. As she watched her friend slowly succumb, she said the following to Chelsie:

"I really do want to thank you, Chelsie. Thanks for being unaware that I had been seeing your husband for the last six months, and for being so ignorant to the intense jealousy I've been carrying since high school. Don't worry, Stephen's all mine now. I'll be good to him."

    Ah, but now you have to dispose of the body because an autopsy is sure to find the needle track. And you've given no indication that you have prepared the Dexter always did, so..., sorry but you're not going to have Stephen for long. You're probably going to end up in separate cells in separate institutions with no rights to conjugal visists.

    It’s sad when a best friend takes away someone’s husband , Shania Twain. Her best friend / Manager betrayed her .
