The registration date was two years ago.

That was a full year before Nathan and I had even bought this penthouse.

Sloane Vale was listed as the managing partner.

But it was the banking section that made my breath catch.

There were printed wire transfer confirmations from the Crane Family Trust.

The trust was set up by my late grandfather to protect our family assets and maintain this penthouse.

Nathan was a co-signatory on the account.

According to the documents, Nathan had authorized twenty-four separate payments to Vale Design Partners.

The total came to over one.two million dollars.

The invoices were for “architectural consulting” and “structural preservation.”

But I knew the truth.

Sloane had only done minor decorative work in the living room.

There had been no structural work.

I turned the page to find the bank statements for Vale Design Partners.

Every time a payment from the trust arrived in Sloane’s business account, another transfer was made within twenty-four hours.

Ninety percent of the funds were sent to an account registered in the Cayman Islands.

The account holder was “NV Holdings.”

I stared at the letters.
