IF YOU LOVE ME, DIE FOR ME Chapter 62: The Name Paul Heard
Jeremy's POVI was at the apartment when Madeline called.Not our usual working call, the quick update between meetings with specific information delivered in the fewest possible words. This one began with a silence that lasted three seconds, which from Madeline was its own kind of information."Tell me," I said."Paul Egan heard a name," she said. "Three years ago, on a phone call through a door that was not fully closed. A name he was not supposed to hear, delivered by the Aldbrook director who was managing the compliance cover on Marsh's behalf.""And," I said."The name is not Marsh," she said.I sat down."The Marshfield Capital structure," she said. "Twenty-three entities across five jurisdictions. We have been treating it as Marsh's operation, built from his commission of the Soo methodology nine years ago. But what if Marsh was not the principal?""What if Marsh was the visible layer," I said."The face," she said. "The same way Vivienne was the face of the Whitman affair. The
IF YOU LOVE ME, DIE FOR ME Chapter 61: The Supervisor
POV: Roisin CallahanHis name was Paul Egan, and he had managed the compliance division at Aldbrook Financial for six years, which meant he had been there for five of the nine years the unauthorized access had been running through the accounts he was supposed to be overseeing.I had worked under him for four of those years.I had liked him, which was the thing I had been trying to reconcile since the morning Madeline called me to say he had resigned effective immediately. I had liked Paul Egan. He was thorough and fair and had a habit of knocking twice before coming into a shared office space that I had always appreciated more than I said out loud. He had given me my first promotion, written the recommendation that got me the senior accounts manager role, sat across from me at the internal interview and told me afterward that the panel's decision had taken less than three minutes.He had also received my internal flag on a Tuesday morning and told me the transaction appeared to be wit
IF YOU LOVE ME, DIE FOR ME Chapter 60: The Morning After
POV: MadelineGerald Marsh called Jeremy at eight in the morning.Not Marsh directly. His lawyer, a man named Cormac Whelan whose firm had represented three of the largest financial institutions in Ireland for twenty years and whose involvement was itself a statement, the kind of statement that said I am prepared for this and I have resources and I intend to conduct this in a particular register.Jeremy took the call in our Dublin apartment kitchen while I sat at the table and listened to his half of the conversation, which told me enough.The call lasted nine minutes.When it ended, Jeremy put the phone down and sat across from me."Whelan says his client is prepared to cooperate fully with all five regulatory inquiries," he said. "He says his client understands that the filings were made in good faith and that Marshfield Capital's structure will be made fully transparent to all relevant authorities.""He is cooperating," I said."He says he is cooperating," Jeremy said. "The distinc
IF YOU LOVE ME, DIE FOR ME Chapter 59: Marshfield
POV: MadelineDara called at seven in the evening.I was at the Crawford table with Sol, going through the sixty-three screenshots Roisin had given us, building them into a chronological account of fourteen months of unauthorized access that was, with every hour we spent on it, becoming the most thoroughly documented case we had assembled since Iris Tan.Dara's voice when she spoke had the particular quality it got when she had found something significant and was choosing her words carefully because the significance required precision."The Reinholt contact," she said. "Her name is Agnieszka. She has been with the firm for two years and has been uncomfortable for six months and has been waiting for a reason to do something about the discomfort.""We gave her the reason," I said."You gave her the reason," Dara said. "The Calloway story. She read it eighteen months ago. She knew what Crawford was before I introduced myself, which made the conversation considerably shorter than it might
IF YOU LOVE ME, DIE FOR ME Chapter 58: The Auditor
Jeremy's POVThe name Declan Rourke arrived in my morning in the form of a message from Sol at six forty-seven, which was earlier than Sol usually sent messages and which told me the significance of it before I had read the content.I was in the kitchen of the Dublin apartment we had taken for the month, the practical extension of a honeymoon that had become a working visit and was becoming, with each passing day, something more like a base of operations.Madeline was already at the table with her laptop and coffee, which told me she had been awake since at least five-thirty, which she would not admit to directly but which I had learned to read from the particular state of the kitchen when I came down.I showed her the message.She read it twice."The auditor who cleared Aldbrook eighteen months ago is connected to Marsh through a Whitman Holdings board dinner photograph," she said."Yes.""Which means the audit was not independent.""It appears not.""Which means Aldbrook has not had
IF YOU LOVE ME, DIE FOR ME Chapter 57: What Roisin Remembered
POV: Roisin CallahanI had been trying to remember for eight months.Not the transactions; I remembered those with the particular clarity of things that had been examined so many times they had ceased to feel like memories and had instead become a sequence of facts I could recite in the correct order without engaging with their content.I was trying to remember the things around the transactions. The context. The period of fourteen months during which someone was using my credentials on seventeen separate occasions, routing money through accounts I managed, building a paper trail that ended with my name on it.What I was trying to remember was whether there had been moments I had noticed something and had not known what I was noticing.I thought there had been.I told Madeline and Sol about one of them on the Monday after I came into the Dublin office, sitting across the table with a coffee that had gone cold because I kept forgetting to drink it when I was trying to remember things p
