Chapter 4 - The Audit Begins
Inside his private study, illuminated only by the glow of three high-resolution computer monitors, Daniel logged directly into the master treasury portal.
As a tech CEO, Daniel’s private accounts were protected by biometric encryption that even Harrison couldn't access. However, Harrison had executive control over the operational payroll account.
Daniel opened the transaction logs for the past twelve months.
What he saw made his blood run cold.
Every single month, $8,000 was wired out of the operational account under the label Domestic Household Payroll — Rosa Martinez.
The money was leaving Daniel’s main account, but it was never reaching Rosa’s bank.
Instead, the funds were being routed into a secondary holding account under the name Apex Property Management LLC—a dummy corporation registered in Delaware.
Daniel quickly ran a corporate records search on Apex Property Management.
The sole managing director and beneficiary of the account was Harrison Cole.
Over four years, Harrison had stolen over $350,000 in domestic wages, vendor kickbacks, and fake maintenance invoices from the Hayes estate!
