They were coming directly out of the core Whitmore family trust.

The trust that Alexander was supposed to control.

I clicked on the destination accounts to see where the money was going.

They led to a series of shell companies registered in Delaware and the Cayman Islands.

But the final destination was clear on the tax routing forms.

*Sterling for America.*

It was Senator James Sterling’s presidential campaign committee.

Julian was draining his brother’s inheritance to buy his way into the highest political circle in the country.

He was funding the Senator’s run for the White House in exchange for protection.

I took screenshots of every single ledger page.

My heart hammered against my ribs.

This was why they had erased my marriage.

If Alexander was legally married to me, I would have had joint access to those trust accounts.

I would have noticed the missing millions immediately.

They had to make me disappear from his life to keep the money flowing.

I pulled the drive out of the laptop.

My hands were cold.

I closed the laptop and put it in my bag.
