Chapter 2: Following the Money
Chapter 2: Following the Money
Rachel didn't confront Daniel.
Not yet.
She flew home instead.
During the flight, she opened every financial account she and Daniel shared.
The numbers told a darker story than the affair.
Large withdrawals.
Luxury hotel payments.
Designer jewelry.
Private school tuition...
For someone else's child.
Each transaction stretched back nearly four years.
Rachel's stomach tightened.
This wasn't just an affair.
Daniel had built another life.
Using their family's money.
When she reached home, she unlocked Daniel's office.
He had always insisted it was private.
Now she understood why.
Hidden behind a row of medical journals sat a small fireproof safe.
Inside were passports.
Property deeds.
Insurance policies.
One document froze her in place.
A deed to a lake house.
Owners:
Daniel Bennett.
Sophia Carter.
The same woman from the airport.
Rachel whispered to herself.
"So that's her name."
Another envelope contained DNA results.
A six-year-old boy.
Father:
Daniel Bennett.
Rachel sat motionless.
He hadn't only betrayed his wife.
May you like
He had betrayed his own children.
For years.
