Chapter 3 - The Stolen College Fund
At midnight, the suburban house was completely silent.
Grant and Kelsey were asleep, foolishly believing that Megan’s quiet exit from the dining table meant she had submitted to their arrogant demands.
Megan sat in the dark of Grant’s home office, illuminated only by the glowing screen of his unlocked iPad. She had lived with this man for seven years; she knew every single one of his passwords. If he was bold enough to hide two extra children moving into her house, she knew he was hiding something else.
She opened their joint savings account app.
The cinematic realism of the absolute, crushing betrayal made Megan physically stop breathing.
Exactly three days ago, a massive wire transfer of forty thousand dollars had been successfully processed. The money hadn't gone to a standard bill. It had been wired directly to a residential title and escrow company based in Denver, Colorado.
That forty thousand dollars wasn't just spare cash. It was Toby’s entire college fund, money Megan had painstakingly saved from her own corporate bonuses over the last five years.
Grant hadn't just agreed to babysit his sister's kids. He had stolen his own son’s future to buy his sister a luxury condo in another state.
