Every investment account...
Every company share...
Every property connected to the trust...
Was frozen.
No sale.
No transfer.
No refinancing.
Nothing.
Julian's company—already drowning in debt—had depended entirely on forcing me to liquidate those assets.
Without them...
It would collapse.
At exactly 6:40 p.m., my hospital room door burst open.
Julian looked furious.
"What did you do?"
I smiled calmly.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"My bank called."
"Our financing disappeared."
"The trust has frozen everything."
He slammed both hands onto my hospital bed.
"You vindictive—"
Before he could finish...
Detective Harris stepped into the room.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
Julian froze.
The detective held up an evidence bag.
Inside...
Was my recorder.
"We've listened to the audio."
"And we'd like to ask you a few more questions."
For the first time since I'd met Julian...
I watched genuine fear appear on his face.
But what neither of us knew...
Was that the recorder wasn't the most dangerous piece of evidence.
Because while detectives were executing their first search warrant...
One forensic investigator opened Julian's office safe.
Inside...
They found a sealed envelope labeled in his own handwriting:
"Destroy after Clara signs."
