The second unidentified payment recipient was identified on Friday morning.

It was a small private media company that monitored what people were saying about its clients online. It worked for clients who didn't want their names connected directly to that kind of work. The company had been paid through the separate company used to hide the earlier payments, two weeks before the first false story about Bella was published.

According to the company's own records, they had been hired to watch how t

    The charges were officially filed at 9:53 Monday morning.Dr. Ajayi's message was short. 'It's done. All three."Bella was standing in the foundation hallway when she read it, with Carlos beside her. She'd arrived at the office just after eight. There wasn't anything urgent she needed to deal with. She just didn't want to sit at home waiting for the news.She read the message again, then slipped her phone into her pocket."It's filed, all three of them," she said quietly.Carlos looked at her but didn't say anything. He knew she needed a moment to let it sink in.At 10:07, Priya sent the first update. The court registration was public now, and the charges were officially on record. By 10:15, two news outlets had picked it up from the court listings and started reporting it.Then by 10:30, the story was everywhere.***Alex arrived at the station at eleven that morning.His lawyer had arranged for him to come in voluntarily instead of being arrested.

    The second unidentified payment recipient was identified on Friday morning.It was a small private media company that monitored what people were saying about its clients online. It worked for clients who didn't want their names connected directly to that kind of work. The company had been paid through the separate company used to hide the earlier payments, two weeks before the first false story about Bella was published.According to the company's own records, they had been hired to watch how the story spread online and report when it needed another push.Someone hadn't just created the story and left it alone. They had been watching it, tracking how far it was reaching, and making sure people kept seeing it.The firm's records listed a different person as their main contact. It wasn't Alex or Evelyn.But investigators found the same name in the law firm's records. There was an email approving one of the payments, and Alex's personal email address had been copied into it.His own emai

    DS Cole’s team worked through Thursday night.By Friday morning, they had put together an eleven-page document comparing Alex’s answers from the interview with the evidence they already had.It went through his main denials one by one and showed what evidence supported or contradicted each one.DC Osei read it first, then handed it to DS Cole without saying anything.She read through it at her desk, her coffee sitting beside her and slowly going cold.When she finished, she picked up her pen and marked four sections.The first contradiction was straightforward.During the interview, Alex had said he knew nothing about a coordinated campaign against Bella and had not ordered one.But the PR brief found in the law firm’s records told a different story. It was dated two weeks before the campaign started and had Alex’s name on it as the person who commissioned it.Parts of the wording also matched the instructions Angela said she had been given at the hotel lobby meeting, including the la

    Alex arrived at nine-fifty-eight, two minutes early.His lawyer was beside him, both of them wearing dark jackets. Alex walked in calmly, taking in the building before they were shown inside. It was plain and quiet, more like an office than a police station, with a separate entrance and no public reception area.DS Farida Cole met them in the corridor and led them to the interview room without saying much.The room had cameras and an audio recorder. Before they sat down, DS Cole explained that the interview would be recorded and pointed out the visible camera.Alex gave a small nod. He was used to formal meetings, but this was different.He sat across from DS Cole and another investigator, DC Osei. His lawyer took the seat beside him, a notepad in front of him.DS Cole started the recording and stated the date, time, and names of everyone in the room."Mr. Seneca,” DS Cole said, “you’ve been told that this interview is being conducted under caution. You don’t have to answer any questi

    On Wednesday Evelyn arrived at the investigators’ office at nine that morning with her lawyer and a folder she had spent the last four days preparing.The folder stayed closed for most of the interview.The lead investigator, DS Farida Cole, started with the hotel lobby meeting. She went straight to the details. The date, the location, who had been there, and what had been discussed.Evelyn confirmed the date and location. She confirmed that she had been there too, but said she had attended in an advisory role.DS Cole glanced down at her notes, then looked back at Evelyn.“Ms. Dunmore-Seneca, Angela Reeves has told us that instructions on how to approach the journalist were given during that meeting. She described what the journalist was supposed to be told, what material was to be provided, and how it was going to be spread afterward.”DS Cole placed the page on the table.“Were you there when those instructions were given?”Evelyn’s lawyer put a hand on the table, ready to step in.

    The financial records came in Monday morning, just after eleven.Dr. Ajayi called Bella before she even had a chance to see the notification.“The law firm sent everything over,” he said. “The records cover eighteen months of transactions through the company they used to move the money. And the payment to Angela is there. Three separate transfers. The amounts match what she told investigators, and the dates line up too.”He paused.“But there’s more. Two other payments were made around the same time, to two different recipients. Investigators are looking into those now.”Bella was sitting at her desk. She put her pen down.“What kind of recipients?”“One looks like a PR consultancy, but it barely has a public presence. The other one hasn’t been identified yet.”Bella frowned. “So this wasn’t just about Angela?”“That’s what investigators are trying to establish.” Dr. Ajayi kept his voice calm. “The records suggest that the company may have been used for more than one operation. They’r

    Bella sat on the edge of her bed, her mind racing.She didn’t stay long enough to reflect. She pushed herself up almost immediately, pacing a few steps before stopping again. Her fingers drummed against her thigh, restless, as she tried to think of something, anything that could help her.She pulle

    Bella remained in the study, still standing there long after the door had closed.She couldn’t believe what her father had just said. The words kept replaying in her mind. Her chest felt tight, like the air had been sucked out of the room, leaving something heavy and suffocating behind.Evelyn was

    Bella sat on the edge of the bed, knees drawn up, with her arms wrapped tight around herself like she could hold the pieces together.The suite was too quiet now. No sounds but the faint hum of the city far below the windows and the echo of Lorenzo’s last words looping in her head.She stared at t

    Bella’s fists clenched under the tablecloth until her nails bit into her palms. The room buzzed with a family gathering, lights glittering off crystal glasses and gold-rimmed plates, but the air felt suffocating. Alex Seneca, her father, the man who commanded boardrooms and headlines, leaned back
