Se connecterChapter 91The Self-ExposureDamian POVI spent the entire night tracking the fifty million dollars through multiple shell companies and offshore accounts. It was not easy because whoever set this up knew what they were doing. They did not want the money to be found.But I had resources and connections that most people did not have. After following the money through six different countries and twelve different companies, I finally found where it ended up.Caroline's personal account in the Cayman Islands under a fake name. But it had her social security number attached to it, which was the mistake that let me trace it back to her.I sat at my desk staring at the evidence on my computer screen. I knew this was it and this was the proof that would put Caroline away for good, because stealing fifty million dollars was serious enough. But stealing it from a woman she was about to murder made it even worse. I didn't want Caroline to be arrested yet, even though I knew we had already gather
Chapter 90The Missing MillionsAmara's POVI was going through my mother's financial records that the lawyer finally released to me. I was checking every account and every transaction trying to understand where all the money went, when I found something that made my stomach drop.There was a wire transfer from my mother's main account dated three days before she died and it was for fifty million dollars. It went to some offshore company in the Cayman Islands that I had never heard of.I looked through all the other documents trying to find more information about this transfer, but there was nothing and no explanation for why my mother would send that much money to an offshore account right before she died.I picked up my phone and called Mr Ray because he always seemed to know what to do and he had helped me before.The phone rang twice and then the robotic voice answered."This is a secure line. State your name and reason for calling," the voice said."It's Amara Benson. I need help
Chapter 89 Vanessa's StrikeDamian's POVI was leaving Amara's house after spending time with our daughter when I saw a familiar car parked across the street. My stomach dropped because I knew exactly who it was.Vanessa got out of her car and walked toward me with a smile on her face. That smile told me she was up to something bad."Hello Damian. We need to talk," she said."I have nothing to say to you Vanessa. Leave me alone," I said and tried to walk past her to my car.She grabbed my arm and said "I think you'll want to hear what I have to say. It's about Amara and the little secret you've been keeping from her."I stopped and turned to look at her and said "What are you talking about?""I know you're the Ghost Lawyer. I know you've been helping Amara while pretending to be someone else. And I know you were managing her inheritance this whole time while working with Caroline. Does Amara know about all of that?" she asked."How do you know about that?" I asked."I have my sources
Chapter 88The First WordAmara's POVDamian came over in the afternoon to spend time with our daughter. I let him in even though things were still complicated between us because I could see he was trying and our daughter deserved to have her father in her life."Thank you for letting me come by," he said as he walked in."Of course. She's your daughter too," I said.Our daughter was playing with her blocks on the living room floor. When she saw Damian, she smiled and reached her arms up wanting to be picked up."Hi princess. Did you miss me?" Damian said as he lifted her up.She giggled and grabbed his face with her little hands. He laughed and sat down on the couch with her on his lap.I went to the kitchen to make tea. I could hear them playing together and Damian making silly voices that made her laugh. It was the first time I had ever really seen him just be a father without any walls up or any coldness."Amara, you should come see this. She's trying to stack the blocks," Damian
Chapter 87The Legal BlitzDamian's POVI sat in my office at two in the morning putting together the most comprehensive legal package I had ever assembled in my career. This was it and there was no going back after I sent this to the District Attorney.The file contained everything and I mean everything about Caroline's crimes going back fifteen years, including the audio recording of her confessing to Elena's murder and the financial documents showing she stole over fifteen million dollars from the Benson Estate. It also contained fake invoices she used to drain money and the offshore accounts where she hid it all.But that was not all, because I also included evidence of her bribing public officials and threatening witnesses. I had the evidence of Caroline using her political connections to cover up her crimes. Every single piece of evidence had been verified and documented properly, so there would be no question about its authenticity.My hands hovered over the keyboard as I prepa
Chapter 86The Hidden AudioAmara's POVI bought a small audio recording device from an electronics store and the man at the counter showed me how to use it. He told me it could record for up to forty eight hours before the battery died.I drove to the Benson mansion when I knew Caroline would be at work and Sisi would be out shopping. I needed to plant the bug somewhere they would talk freely without knowing anyone was listening.I used my old key again to get in through the back door and went straight to Caroline's office, because that was where she had most of her private conversations and where she kept all her important documents.I looked around trying to find the perfect spot to hide the device and finally decided to put it under her desk attached to the bottom with tape. Nobody would think to look there.I turned on the recording device and made sure the little red light was on. Then, I taped it securely under the desk and tested it by walking around the room and talking to ma
