The motive rhymes

 I stopped his heart in a few seconds
I didn't want to kill him
I found him holed up in his apartment
Adorned with expensive art

His luxury residence
holding a business deal with two society men
They witnessed me distraught murder their partner
Maybe later they would condemn me in court

Sadly no his natural death benefitted them
so even after their protests
They swore me to silence
and wrote me a check

The victim was man known to me
For many a year we had interacted
A cunning wealthy person I rid the world of
Even though it wasn't my intention, no

I broke into that man's luxury apartment
Punch followed punch one after another
faster than my fists had ever moved
Hitting his chest with tremendous impact

before he lost consciousness his eyes settled on the table
where a small stack of notes and a contract sat
he took off his gold watch as if saying goodbye to it
But his jewelry and liquidity couldn't save him

Am I guilty who can say
his funeral is tuesday
yes i took that spoilt man's life
after he slept with my wife
