The Sister Who Stole My Life and the Husband Who Paid the Price
I leaned my head against the cold bathroom wall, closing my eyes for a second.
Chloe had been sleeping with my husband while sitting at my dinner table.
She had been planning to steal my life savings.
But as I scrolled further down the thread, the tone of the messages changed.
Two days ago, Chloe had sent a flurry of texts.
*“Why aren’t you answering? You said you were going to file the divorce papers on Tuesday.”*
*“My bags are packed, Lucas. I can’t stay at the apartment anymore. It feels like a trap.”*
Lucas’s reply was brief, sent from an airport terminal.
*“The bank is holding up the transfer. I have to go to Denver to sign the physical release forms.”*
*“Stay quiet. If Anne suspects anything, she’ll freeze the account.”*
*“I love you. Just three more days and we’ll be on the beach.”*
I scrolled past his declarations of love, looking for his location data or flight details.
Then I opened the *Files* folder that had been cloned from Chloe’s cached attachments.
There was a PDF document labeled *Itinerary_Panama*.
I tapped it.
