The author metadata showed two initials.
P.M.
Paige Mitchell.
Rachel remained completely still.
Paige.
She opened every document.
Three additional files contained the same metadata.
Her sister-in-law had created them.
That explained the transfers.
Paige wasn’t simply receiving money.
She appeared to be involved.
Rachel called an attorney.
Not a divorce attorney.
Not yet.
She contacted a fraud attorney she knew through her company.
His name was Daniel Cho.
Rachel had worked with him during an internal financial investigation two years earlier.
She explained everything.
Daniel listened without interrupting her.
When she finished, he asked one question.
“Are you safe?”
“Yes.”
“Are your children safe?”
“They’re staying with my parents.”
“Good. Don’t confront your husband in person. Preserve everything you have. Screenshots help, but download the original files whenever possible.”
“I already am.”
“I assumed you would be.”
“What should I do next?”
“File a police report.”
Rachel swallowed.
