My memory will never fail me when remembering Ligeia she was tall, very thin, as she got older she could even be called painfully thin. She was just majestic, she was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Her skin was pure, her hair was leathery black, shiny and naturally curly, her hair was beautiful.Her eyes were larger than usual, full and blacker than black, with the same color echoing in her lashes.
I know Ligeia I would not know exactly how, when or even where I know Ligeia, the only thing I’m sure of is that she is not only my friend and my wife at the same time but also the love of my life.
Suddenly I noticed a difference in her eyes, Ligeia began to look sick, she looked pale and her fingers began to look like a grave, I realized that Ligeia was about to die, she fought to survive with passion and energy but she couldn't, my love had just died.
I couldn't handle the loneliness and desolation of my home so I traveled the world, left Germany and went to live in England.
In a moment of extreme madness I married Rowena.
It was clear that from the first month of marriage my new wife did not love me and had married me solely for the money, however, she was afraid of my bad temper.
