Chapter 2
The security system blared,
echoing through the large halls.
Red lights flashed rapidly,
casting an eerie crimson glow.
Adrian walked down the stairs,
his footsteps heavy and loud.
He found his mother,
standing by the grand piano.
Beatrice looked furious,
her pearls clutched in anger.
She glared at her son,
demanding to know the meaning.
Adrian ignored her questions,
walking straight to the parlor.
Philip was already there,
banging his fists on the door.
The brother looked desperate,
sweat pouring down his face.
He turned around quickly,
seeing Adrian in the doorway.
Celeste was crying softly,
hiding behind a velvet chair.
They were all trapped now,
locked in their own greed.
Adrian pulled a small remote,
pressing a glowing blue button.
The television screen flickered,
coming to life with static.
Then a video started playing,
showing the kitchen at midnight.
Beatrice gasped out loud,
her face turning completely white.
The footage was crystal clear,
showing Philip holding a vial.
He was swapping the labels,
just as Mara had suspected.
Adrian smiled a cold smile,
enjoying their absolute utter terror.
He had installed hidden cameras,
ones they knew nothing about.
They thought they were clever,
using a framed broken caregiver.
But Adrian was always watching,
always guarding his sick son.
Philip tried to speak,
but no words came out.
He looked at his mother,
begging for some quick help.
Beatrice remained completely silent,
knowing the game was lost.
Adrian crossed his arms tightly,
staring at the greedy traitors.
He pointed at the screen,
where the truth was undeniable.
The poison was clearly visible,
and the intent was murder.
He had marked every bottle,
using an invisible chemical dye.
They had touched the glass,
leaving their glowing fingerprints everywhere.

The evidence was absolutely perfect,
ready for the police detectives.
