"Whoever this fake Ryan is, he better hide well because he's in deep trouble." Josh's voice was grim. "I know. Identity theft carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison. We'll need to investigate further." I hung up the phone, my mind racing with possibilities. Who was this person, and what did he want?

she replies, shrugging with indifference. "Actually, Annabelle, there is. Criminal impersonation isn't a constitutional right; it's a prosecutable offense," Jordan states firmly. "Under Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1028, the use of a fraudulent identity or a prosthetic likeness to commit a felony—in this case, attempted homicide and conspiracy—is a major violation.

Prepaid cards were not really that traceable and he would not find me since my fake social security was tied to the new Ember Standford. I went shopping for a bed and paid one of the Walmart men extra to come to my apartment and load it for me. He was a young male on his lunch break and was happy to make some extra cash. I also bought some food, kitchen supplies, bed and bathroom decorations. After everything was set up, I was beaten. I sat on the bed, looking out the window while eating some stir fry. I had made. This is my life now. Ember Standford. Graduate of Georgia University of the Culinary Arts with a bachelor's degree. My resume had everything I had ever accomplished on it, but just

“We will see how it goes.” Sasha, his secretary, came to me with a clipboard. “We need your signature and a scanned ID,” she said. I handed over the bag with the paperwork. My fake medical report sat like a passport. My heart kept beating in a steady thump. Shasha’s scanner hummed. The machine made the signature look like an ordinary thing on a cheap pad.

I was so fucking toast. “You got the wrong person,” I fibbed, and tried to walk past the man, but then, another man blocked my path. “We are certain that you are the person we are looking for,” The man spoke. “You are under arrest for identity fraud, in relation to caller ID spoofing.”

I tried to get a good look at his face, but he refused to lift his head. So much was going on, and I had no idea what to do about any of it. It took several minutes before Ross and the other two officers showed up. “We pulled up their files, but it turns out that both of them have identical files and documents.” “This is identity theft!” Jasper yelled out, almost lunging from his chair towards the other Jasper, but the two officers held him down. “They cannot be someone who looks exactly like me, has the same name as me and has all the same credentials as me. That guy has to be a fake!”

Dave asked again. Mia swallowed her saliva, "I'm sorry, actually, that problem I lied to you about. The robber turned out to be stalking me and knew my cellphone number. He kept threatening that he would kill me if I didn't give him the amount of money he asked for yesterday. He also knew the location of our house," repeated Mia. Dave sighed heavily, "Geez, and you just believe me? He's just threatening you, baby. He's brainwashing you; that's the current fraud mode. From now on, anything is honest with me!" said Dave.

"The moment your father filed the certified paternity profile into the corporate registry, your legal standing was completely vaporized. The federal judge ruled that since your entire identity as Vice President was built on a biological misrepresentation, every single document you signed during your tenure is entirely null and void due to fraud. You have no legal standing to file an appeal."

"There’s... there’s more, Finn," Marcus said, his eyes shifting nervously toward the security cameras mounted in the corners of the room. "The

Those words would haunt me forever. I didn’t understand what he meant at first. Not until I saw the documents. Not until I realized they were selling off pieces of the company—Stadler & Co.—to cover up something bigger. Something shameful. Fraud, embezzlement, whispered accusations. Names I trusted listed beside numbers that didn’t add up. A legacy crumbling. “We need you to lay low for a while,” my mother said softly, like it was a favor they were doing me. “And we’ll need you to change your name, at least for now.”

Much less being in such a homeless desperate state. What was even more shocking were the charges. Identity theft, forgery, Loan fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, credit fraud, failure to repay court ordered debt, drug possession, resisting arrest, identity fraud. Again. Identity fraud appearing at least 3 times, all under one name; Alina Monroe. Alina. “Why is her name entangled with this?” I’d questioned Jordan after receiving the file. Surprised and already imagining the worst, but nothing. Absolutely nothing prepared me for the actual truth.
