Confession 3

The Confession of Dr. Alice Brandon in the Murder of Esme Cullen

I was certainly fooled by Jasper Whitlock’s deception. I was terrified that he was going to turn Volturi Vineyards into cheap housing for the masses. I’ve already lost my successful practice and book deals. If this deal went through my property value would have plummeted, and I would lose everything I have left. I’d be completely broke. My husband travels, and his camping supply store is not enough to support our lifestyle, not even close.

Even with the possibility of bankruptcy, I would not have killed Esme, not just for a few dollars. I am a respected doctor, after all.

On the other hand, I’ve always suspected that Esme murdered her husband, Carlisle, six months ago. I loved Carlisle and had been having an affair with him. When his death went unsolved, I made it my mission to expose Esme as his killer, and make the story into a best selling book.

I assumed she killed him for his life insurance, but was surprised to see that she was nearly bankrupt herself after his death.

I only slept with Edward Masen in order to gain inside information into Esme’s life.

Today I struck gold! I found a clue to Carlisle’s killer. A list of bank records, PIN codes, and financial transactions from immediately after Carlisle’s death. I was shocked to learn that it wasn’t Esme who killed Carlisle. I came to her with the evidence, but she would not accept it. You can read my next book who killed Carlisle Cullen, as for his wife, I am baffled. I have no idea who killed Esme.
