IF YOU LOVE ME, DIE FOR ME Chapter 79: What Madeline Lost
POV: MadelineThe motion hearing was on a Wednesday.I was not in the room. Crawford had no standing in criminal proceedings, and I was not a party to the trial, and Grogan had advised, with the particular diplomacy of a barrister who needed to say something difficult without saying it unkindly, that my presence at the hearing might give Burke additional material for his conflict of interest argument.I stayed in the office and waited.Sol was in court, observing from the public gallery.Jeremy was in London for a board meeting he could not reschedule and had offered three times to cancel, and I had told him three times not to, because the board meeting was part of rebuilding Whitman Holdings into something worth having and that work did not stop because a defence barrister had filed a motion.At eleven forty-seven, Sol sent a message.Judge is hearing Burke's arguments now. Grogan to respond after lunch.At two fifteen another message.Grogan's response is strong. She is addressing t
IF YOU LOVE ME, DIE FOR ME Chapter 78: What Roisin Received
POV: Roisin CallahanThe envelope was in my letterbox on a Tuesday morning, which was a thing that no longer seemed possible because I had not given this address to anyone connected to the case, had specifically not given it to anyone connected to the case because Sol had told me in the first week to be careful about what was publicly associated with my name until the civil proceedings were settled.The envelope had no return address.Inside was a single printed page.No letterhead. No signature. A list of names.My mother's name. Her address. Her phone number.The name and address of the secondary school where my younger sister taught.The name and number of the Galway practice where my father had been a GP before he retired.Three friends from university, their home addresses, their workplaces.At the bottom of the page, in a different font, as though added separately: Consider whether the settlement terms you have been offered are worth the cost of continuing.I sat in the kitchen
IF YOU LOVE ME, DIE FOR ME Chapter 77: The Defence's Move
POV: MadelineThe letter arrived at Crawford's Dublin office on a Monday morning.Not emailed. Printed on headed paper, delivered by courier, addressed to Crawford by its full registered name, signed by a man named Cillian Burke who described himself as lead counsel for the defence of Francis Joseph Doyle.Sol brought it to me without opening it, which told me from his expression that he had read the first visible line through the envelope window and understood its category.I opened it.I read it twice.Then I read it a third time, slowly, because the third reading was where the specific implications of precisely drafted legal language became fully apparent."Tell me," Sol said.I put the letter on the table."The defence has filed a motion to have the documentary evidence ruled inadmissible," I said. "All of it. The Reinholt records, Agnieszka's documentation, the Marshfield Capital beneficial ownership filings, the call records from the Helen Doyle phone line."Sol sat down."On wh
IF YOU LOVE ME, DIE FOR ME Chapter 76: The Eleanor Question
POV: MadelineIt started on a Thursday evening, which was not a dramatic day to start a fight on, which was perhaps why neither of us saw it coming.Jeremy had been on calls most of the afternoon, the particular kind of calls where you can hear from the other room that something is being worked out but the working out has not yet finished. I was at the kitchen table going through the Doyle trial preparation notes Donovan's office had sent over, making margin notes in the way I had when I was revising for exams at twenty-two, which was the last time anything had felt this much like something you could fail.He came in at seven and made tea without asking and put a cup in front of me and sat across from me and had the expression he wore when something was sitting with him that he had not yet found the right words for."Tell me," I said."Sheila Grogan called," he said. Grogan was the prosecution barrister."About your evidence.""About my mother's evidence," he said.I put down my pen.
IF YOU LOVE ME, DIE FOR ME Chapter 75: The Charge Read Aloud
POV: MadelineThe Doyle hearing was on a Tuesday.Not the trial, which was months away and would be a separate and significant undertaking. The preliminary hearing, where charges were formally read in open court, and the defendant entered his plea.Jeremy came with me.We sat in the public gallery of a Dublin courtroom on a Tuesday morning in November, and we waited.Francis Doyle entered from the side door accompanied by his solicitor and sat in the defendant's position with the uprightness he had apparently not lost, the particular bearing of a man who had decided that whatever happened in this room, he would not give it the satisfaction of seeing him diminished.The judge entered.The court was called to order.The registrar began to read.The charges were twelve in total: the fraud charges and the money laundering charges and the regulatory offences that covered nine years of Marshfield Capital and the five-jurisdiction network and Aldbrook Financial and everything else the cooper
IF YOU LOVE ME, DIE FOR ME Chapter 74: Dara's Last Week
POV: MadelineDara's flight home was on a Sunday.She spent the Saturday before it doing what she always did on the last day of a visit, which was to say she worked until four in the afternoon and then abruptly stopped and announced she was taking herself to dinner and that I should come.We went to the place by the river that she had been going to twice a week for a month and had told me was the best restaurant in Dublin without apparent irony.We ordered, and the wine arrived, and she looked at me across the table with the look she got when she was about to say something she had been holding until the right moment."Tell me," I said."The Singapore office," she said. "The financial intelligence division I have been building. I spoke to the partners last week.""About.""About formally constituting it as the Asia-Pacific arm of the Accountability Project," she said. "Not a separate allied operation. A formal arm. With the Crawford name on the door and the full methodology behind the
