Framed in Life, Cursed After Death Chapter 28
A sudden silence descended over the grounds.It was an endless, heavy quiet.The sound of the wind moving through the pines became the only sound of mourning in this forgotten place.Libby's body slumped against Trista's headstone, growing cold and rigid.Her face, once radiant and later etched with agony and struggle, now held only a bizarre, almost eerie serenity of release.The poison had stolen her last breath, taking with it her boundless regret and pain.She was dead.This time, she was truly gone.Trista and I floated beside her body, watching in silence.Trista's large eyes overflowed with an innocent, uncomprehending grief.She seemed to grasp what had happened, yet understood none of it at all.She simply felt a deep, instinctive loss."Daddy, Mommy… isn't moving anymore," she whispered, her translucent little hand clutching tightly at the edge of my coat.The snow fell harder and gradually blanketed Libby's body.Before her final spark of consciousness extingui

From her duffel bag, Libby pulled out the tiny, pale yellow sweater she had carefully preserved, though it was showing its age, and the photo album with its worn, frayed edges.Clutching them tightly, she curled up on the dust-covered bed, just as she had done all those years ago when she first learned the truth.This time, Libby didn't cry. She simply kept her eyes open, staring blankly at the mottled water stains on the ceiling through a sleepless night.Early the next morning, she got up at first light.Carefully and almost devoutly, he wrapped the little sweater and the album back up and tucked them into her bag.She washed her face, wiped down her dusty clothes with a wet rag, and smoothed her hair.Then, she walked out of the house that held her life's sweetest and most painful memories and never looked back.After wandering the streets for three days, Libby finally tracked down the place where Trista and I rested.She went to a flower shop, used what little cash she had

The noise of the courtroom finally faded into silence.Louie was convicted on multiple counts—attempted murder, hit-and-run causing death, bribing public officials, and forging evidence—and sentenced to death.In the end, those eyes that had once overflowed with fake devotion held only complete desolation.As for Libby, true to her promise in court, she faced an independent judicial investigation.The shady transactions on her company's books and the commercial tactics she had run in the gray area were all brought to light.Later, she was sentenced to five years in prison for commercial fraud and tax evasion.Five years seemed brief compared to Louie's execution.Yet compared to the torment her soul would bear for the rest of her life, those five years were perhaps merely the beginning.Trista and I floated high above the courtroom, watching as the bailiffs cuffed her hands and led her away.Libby didn't look back at Louie, nor did she glance at anyone in the gallery.Her gaz

Louie couldn't believe that Libby actually admitted it."However…"Libby shot Louie a piercing glare. "What does any of that have to do with his crime of attempted murder?"Does the fact that I may have made other mistakes erase the reality that he tried to kill me? Does it overturn the fact that he ran down my daughter, framed my ex-husband, and swindled my fortune?"He destroyed my family in the most cruel way possible, murdered my loved ones, and in the end, tried to take my life! Now that the evidence against him is undeniable, he's still resorting to such despicable tactics to escape justice and turn the accusations back on me!"Her voice rose, echoing through the courtroom, laden with an accumulation of bloody accusations and tears."Your Honor, members of the jury! The person standing trial here today is Louie Fraser! It was his cruelty, greed, and hypocrisy that brought about this entire tragedy! The person the law should punish is this murderer! Not the victim he dragged

The judge frowned. "Ms. Burton, please remain silent.""No, I have to speak!" Libby pulled a voice recorder from her bag. "This conversation took place at his residence. He admitted it himself."Through the courtroom speakers, Louie's lazy voice echoed clearly. "So what if I ran her down? She was a worthless nobody anyway. A couple grand was all it took to toss her aside. Isn't that exactly how you handled it back then?"Libby collapsed to her knees. Her forehead was pressed flat against the icy marble floor.I watched her back heave violently, yet not a single sob escaped her throat.Louie thrashed frantically against his restraints, his handcuffs clanking loudly. "No! It's doctored! This bitch would do anything to frame me! She even—""Calling witness Ollie Harris, Mr. Fraser's secretary," the prosecutor interrupted.Ollie walked nervously up to the witness stand and handed over a stack of bank statements. "These are records of Mr. Fraser's wire transfers to prison inmates. 5,

The metallic stench of blood in the stairwell still seemed to linger in my senses.The sight of Libby lying on the ice-cold floor overlapped with the vision of Trista on her final hospital bed.Death was a final destination for me, but for her, it had become a sentence left hanging in the balance.However, Libby didn't die.The wail of ambulance sirens shattered the quiet of the early morning.She still had a weak pulse when they lifted her onto the stretcher.Louie's vicious shove had broken multiple bones, left her with a severe concussion, and caused heavy blood loss, but it hadn't taken her life outright.Perhaps even fate decided that the debts she owed weren't something she could settle with a quick death.Trista and I followed her to the hospital.We watched through the glass as doctors rushed around the operating room, treating the horrifying injuries all over her body.Louie had fled in such a hurry that he hadn't even cleaned up the crime scene. His clear fingerprin
