ANMELDENErin's pov The file room had emptied hours ago, but none of us had moved from the conference table. George's old folders covered nearly every inch of polished wood, and the private firm's name appeared on more pages than I wanted to see. I pulled another folder closer, determined to understand what George had discovered before his death tonight.“Start with the requests he made during his final weeks,” I said, opening the oldest folder while Megan sorted the documents beside me. “If he was investigating this firm, there should be something showing what caught his attention.” Brandon nodded and began searching the digital archive, while Lisa sat quietly across from us, watching every page carefully without saying anything.Brandon opened several records before stopping at one dated three weeks before George's death. “He requested documents connected to Ralph,” he said, pointing toward the screen. “But this request also includes Lisa's family records and an old report connected to you,
Lisa's pov I pushed the laptop toward Brandon and pointed at the access record. “Start from the beginning,” I told him, watching his fingers return to the keyboard. “I want every record connected to my family, not just the ones involving George.” Brandon nodded, opening another screen while Erin stood behind my chair, his expression unusually tense beside me. I needed answers.The first entries appeared slowly, each carrying the same administrative code. Brandon enlarged the details and checked them against the names we already had. “This isn't Ralph,” he said, shaking his head. “I checked his access history twice. Neither he nor his lawyers used this account.” Megan leaned closer, studying the screen carefully beside him. That changed everything for me.“Then whose account is it?” Erin asked, his voice low. Brandon opened the account information and frowned. “Technically, nobody's anymore. It belonged to an administrative department, but the account was deactivated years ago.” I loo
Lisa's pov Julie’s warning stayed with me long after the call ended. The person I should fear was the one who already knew everything I had told them. I kept replaying the words, trying to decide whether they sounded like a threat, a confession, or another attempt to frighten me into silence. None of the possibilities made me feel safer. Erin watched me from across the room, his expression growing more serious with every passing second. Megan sat beside Brandon, waiting for me to explain what Julie had said. The silence pressed against me until I finally placed my phone on the table and looked at them. “Julie said someone inside the investigation might be watching us,” I explained, keeping my voice controlled. “She also said the person already knows everything we’ve told them. She sounded afraid, but she was hiding something too. She recognized Ralph’s name before I explained what I had found.” Megan leaned forward, her fingers resting against the edge of her notebook. “Those wer

Lisa's pov I read the message again, then again, waiting for the words to lose their meaning. They didn't. Each time, the threat looked worse. Someone knew about the investigation, knew I was involved, and believed losing me would be enough to make Erin stop. My fingers tightened around his phone as I looked up at him.“You need to stay away from this for now,” Erin said, reaching for the phone with a worried crease between his brows. “Let me deal with whoever sent it. Until we know who we're facing, you shouldn't put yourself in more danger.”I pulled the phone against my chest, anger rising faster than fear. “That's what everyone says when they want me out of the way,” I replied, stepping back from him. “They call it protection, but it always ends with me being the last person to know what's happening.”Erin's expression changed, but I wasn't finished. I had heard that excuse too many times, from too many people, and I was tired of pretending it didn't hurt.“Bruce said he was prot
Erin's pov Megan refused to let us settle on Ralph as the answer. She stood beside the conference table, arms crossed, while Brandon spread George’s records across the surface. “We need to consider every possibility,” Megan insisted, tapping the folder with one finger. “The person who opened that file could be connected to Ralph, Bruce, the old investigation, or someone trying to keep the truth buried.”I glanced at the hidden file details again, hoping the simplest explanation would finally make sense. Ralph had a reason to be involved, and his name had already appeared in George’s notes. But Megan was right. The original investigation had suffered because people decided what they wanted to believe before they had enough facts.“You're saying Ralph might not be the person who accessed it?” I asked, looking at Megan as she pulled a chair toward the table.“I'm saying we don't know that yet,” she answered, settling into the chair. “And if we build everything around that assumption, we

Lisa's povI sat up straight on my bed the second Erin stepped into my room and closed the door behind him with a soft click that echoed like a gunshot in the quiet house. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I thought it might break through, and my pussy throbbed with a fresh rush of heat that
