Chapter 7 - The Unseen Evidence
Three hours earlier, while Kieran was out buying expensive jewelry for Lena, Dany had been playing hide-and-seek in his father's private home office.
Beneath the heavy mahogany desk, the little boy had noticed a small brass key tucked inside a leather watch box. Curiosity drove him to try the key on the floor safe hidden behind the bookshelf.
Inside, eight-year-old Dany hadn't just found financial papers—he had found a thick velvet pouch containing his late grandmother's missing diamond jewelry, which Kieran had reported stolen to the insurance company two years ago to claim a two-million-dollar payout.
"You committed insurance fraud, Kieran," Tess said quietly, looking down at her husband as he lay pinned to the table. "You framed our housemaid for stealing those diamonds. She spent six months in county jail because of your greed."
Lena took two steps backward, trying to slip past the officers toward the front door.
"Where are you going, Miss Casaro?" the second detective asked, stepping in front of her. "You are named as an accessory to money laundering. You're coming with us."
