I Was Cheated Out of Getting Revenge

A man murdered his stepdaughter and framed me for the crime. I was arrested and found guilty by a jury and I had to do hard time. He blew his stepdaughter's head off because she refused to sleep with him. He tried everything he could to get what he wanted but she wouldn't give in. She was a good girl and she would not betray her own mother. He murdered her in cold blood, that's how little he thought of her. I was the gardener and I had a crush on the man's stepdaughter. But he set me up, he made it look like I was the one who shot her. He hid the murder weapon in my apartment. When the cops found it, jail was where I went. While doing hard time, the thought of getting even kept me from coming unhinged. The only thing that kept me going was knowing that I would eventually get revenge. Getting revenge wasn't just something that I wanted, it was also something that I needed. But that scumbag died just one month before my release, so when it came to getting revenge, I was cheated. I wanted to torture that pervert and when he truly suffered, he would die by my hand. I wanted him to beg for mercy he wouldn't receive and I truly wanted to kill that man. I'm thinking about committing suicide because I was unable to make him pay. How can I go on now that my chance of getting revenge has been taken away?
