Chapter 4 - The Offshore Account
The harsh blue light of the monitor completely changed the moody lighting of the luxury study.
A tight close-up captured Declan’s face. The terrifying, untouchable billionaire completely vanished. The color violently drained from his powdered face, leaving him looking like a terrified ghost. His jaw literally unhinged as he stared at the heavily bolded financial data on the screen.
It wasn't a tech patent. It was a complete, unedited record of a hidden Cayman Islands account containing exactly forty-five million dollars.
And the account was registered entirely under Nora's name.
"What is this?" Declan choked out, profound confusion washing over his panicked face. "How did you get this? This account doesn't exist!"
To understand the absolute, crushing magnitude of the betrayal, one had to look back exactly seven weeks ago. Nora had accidentally discovered the torn wedding photo in Declan's private safe, completely by mistake. But hidden underneath the photo was a master blueprint of a massive corporate assassination.
Declan hadn't married Nora for love. He married her to gain access to her family's legendary real estate empire. For the last two years, he had been actively, maliciously embezzling funds from her father's company, hiding the stolen money in an offshore account in Nora's name.
