"I Came Home With Gifts for My Mistress—But My Wife Had Vanished With Our Baby and Left Behind a Secret Far Worse Than My Affair
CHAPTER 2: EXHIBIT F
My hands trembled as I turned the page.
At the top, in bold letters, were words that instantly drained the blood from my face.
FORENSIC FINANCIAL INVESTIGATION REPORT
"What is this?" I whispered.
The report wasn't about my affair.
It was about my company.
Mitchell Property Holdings.
Page after page detailed unauthorized transfers, hidden accounts, forged signatures, and missing funds.
Millions of dollars.
My stomach dropped.
This had to be a mistake.
I flipped through the report.
Then I saw a familiar name.
Richard Collins.
My Chief Financial Officer.
My closest business partner for twelve years.
The man I trusted with every major financial decision.
The report showed that over four years, Richard had quietly siphoned money through shell companies and fake vendor contracts.
Nearly eight million dollars had vanished.
And according to the documents...
The legal responsibility belonged to me.
Because every transfer carried my electronic approval.
My vision blurred.
"No..."
Then I reached the final section.
Evidence provided by:
Hannah Mitchell
I stared at the page.
Hannah?
My wife?
The woman I barely noticed anymore?
The woman I thought spent her days feeding a baby and watching television?
While I was sneaking around hotels with Vanessa...
Hannah had uncovered the largest fraud in my company's history.
Suddenly everything made sense.
The late nights on her laptop.
The phone calls she ended when I walked into the room.
The documents she kept organizing.
I had assumed she was planning the divorce.
In reality, she was building a criminal case.
And she had discovered something even worse.

Richard wasn't acting alone.
Someone inside my family had helped him.
