Chapter 5 - The Secret He Never Expected Her to FindThree days later, Elena met with her attorney, Claire Bennett.
Claire listened carefully.
Then she asked one question.
“Do you know if Daniel has hidden money?”
Elena frowned.
“I don't think so.”
Claire opened a folder.
“Then we need to look.”
They discovered unusual transfers.

Then larger ones.
Daniel had been moving money into a separate investment account for nearly two years.
Elena stared at the documents.
“He was planning to leave me.”
Claire shook her head.
“Maybe.”
Elena's stomach tightened.
Then she noticed something.
The account wasn't in Daniel's name.
It belonged to Rachel.
The affair wasn't simply emotional.

It was financial.
And suddenly Elena realized that the betrayal was much bigger than one night in one bedroom.
