Chapter 7 - Celeste’s Carefully Crafted Alibi Begins To Crumble Rapidly

The high-definition video began playing on the screen, projecting crystal-clear audio and video directly into the silent master bedroom.
On the screen, Celeste Arden stood over Evelyn Vale’s bed, her face twisted in a cold, calculating grimace completely devoid of affection.
“Just die already so we can sign the trust transfer papers,” Celeste’s recorded voice whispered clearly across the bedroom speakers.
The footage showed her pressing down with both hands on the heavy feather pillow while Evelyn’s heels beat weakly against the mattress.
Adrian stared at the screen, his knees buckling slightly as the horrifying reality of his fiancée’s betrayal crashed over his soul.
“No... no, that’s deepfake technology! Adrian, you know I love you! You know I would never hurt your mother!” Celeste screamed.
Lieutenant Miller signaled his officers, who immediately stepped forward and snapped cold steel handcuffs around Celeste’s slender wrists.
“Celeste Arden, you are under arrest for attempted capital murder and conspiracy against Evelyn Vale,” Lieutenant Miller announced officially.
