Chapter 4 â The Fall Of Celeste Vale
Celeste thought she was winning.
She arrived at a family court hearing wearing a sad expression.
She told everyone she was a loving wife.
A caring stepmother.
A victim of Danielâs obsession.
âI only wanted to help Noah,â she said with tears in her eyes.
The judge looked sympathetic.
Until Daniel stood up.
âI have evidence.â
The room became silent.
Daniel handed over everything.
The chocolate cup.
The ingredient records.
The hidden camera footage.
The audio recording.
Celesteâs face changed.
For the first timeâŠ
The mask disappeared.
âThatâs impossible.â
Daniel looked at her.
âNo.â
His voice was calm.
âThatâs what happens when the truth finally gets a chance to speak.â
Mark tried to defend her.
But Ethan presented financial records showing their plan.
They had researched Danielâs insurance.
They had created false accusations.
They had manipulated Noah.
The judge listened.
Then made the decision.
Full custody was awarded to Daniel.
Celeste was ordered to stay away from Noah.
And the investigation continued.
As officers escorted her away, she looked back at Daniel.
âYou think you won?â
Daniel held Noahâs hand.
âNo.â

He looked at his son.
âI think my son finally won.â
