I went straight to his bank transfers.
Recipient: Carmen Rodriguez. Amount: $800,000. Memo: Deposit for the villa.
My hand started to shake.
It wasn’t just rage. It was a surge of adrenaline. A thrill, even. The kind you get when your body reacts before your brain can, knowing your life is about to blow up.
I searched "Carmen" in his contacts and pulled up her social media.
