Chapter 4 - The Corporate Spy
The revelation that Alyssa and Marcus were going to steal fifty million dollars accelerated my timeline.
I could not let them escape with money that rightfully belonged to my family's holding company.
I instructed Parker to secretly monitor the offshore wire transfers without blocking them just yet.
I wanted them to feel confident enough to proceed with their grand, disastrous plan.
Three weeks passed, and the day of Connor's extravagant wedding rapidly approached.
He had rented out the most exclusive, expensive ballroom in the entire city to showcase his supposed wealth.
I received a heavy, gold-embossed wedding invitation in the mail that very morning.
Betsy had intentionally sent it to me just to rub her son's new life in my face.
She had even included a handwritten note telling me to stay home and cry.
I threw the note into the trash and began preparing my most stunning formal dress.
I had every intention of attending this wedding and burning their house of cards to the ground.
My investigator sent me one final piece of undeniable evidence regarding Alyssa's pregnancy.

Alyssa was indeed twelve weeks pregnant with a baby boy.
However, the DNA test results attached to the file proved the father was Marcus, not Connor.
I carefully slipped the medical records and the vasectomy confirmation into a thick, manila envelope.

As I zipped up my elegant dress, the power in the guesthouse abruptly shut off.
A terrifyingly familiar voice whispered from the dark shadows of my living room, telling me I was not going anywhere today.
