Chapter 7 - The Cold Cell ConfessionDaniel’s arrogant mask completely shattered into pure, pathetic terror!
“I didn't kill anyone! She brought those scissors into my house!” Daniel screamed, pointing a shaking, handcuffed finger at Vanessa! “She told me it was just an old family tool! I didn't know about Adrian!”
“Shut up, you coward!” Vanessa screamed back, her face contorted in rage as officers forced them both toward the door!
The board members and investors stood up in disgust, turning their backs on Daniel as the police led the pair through the crowded lobby in full view of national television crews!
By three o'clock that afternoon, inside the interrogation room at Municipal Police Headquarters, Vanessa broke under the weight of the undeniable DNA evidence preserved inside the scissor hinge.
Faced with a potential death penalty charge, she signed a full confession detailing how she had killed Adrian five years ago, stolen the scissors, and used Daniel’s company to launder the stolen inheritance money.
