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

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

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

The story had been everywhere for four days, but by Monday morning, it was no longer the biggest thing in the news.People were still talking about it. New articles were coming out, old posts were being updated, and some outlets were looking into the nursing agency and the law firm's involvement. The law firm had also released a statement saying they were cooperating with the authorities.But the first wave of attention had passed.The charges were public now. Everyone knew what had happened, and the next part was going to play out in court.Bella read through the morning coverage while drinking her coffee. She checked a few of the latest articles, then closed the tab and opened the foundation's grant meeting notes.That was new.Three months ago, Bella would have read every article twice. She would have gone through the comments, checked the number of shares, and looked for anything that might hint at what Alex was planning next. Ever since she'd come back to the city, she'd been con

Six days passed.Bella kept herself busy through all of them. There were foundation meetings, grant reviews, the twins’ visit on Thursday, their pickup on Monday, and all the normal things that came with everyday life. She made a point of keeping her routine the same.She didn't want to spend every day thinking about the trial.It was coming, but it wasn't here yet. She refused to let something that was still days away take over every part of her life.For the most part, she managed.By Tuesday morning, she was at the courthouse by eight-fifteen.The public gallery was already much fuller than it had been during the pre-trial hearing. The news coverage had brought more attention to the case, and people who had been following the story had come to see what would happen when it finally reached trial.The press section was almost completely full, and more people were still coming in.Bella had barely made it through the entrance when Dr. Ajayi found her."Margaret is testifying today," h
