Husband leaves his sick wife to be with his mistress. She Acts When He Returns For Her Inheritance.

Something Markon had never done before, he started locking his office door. This was an abrupt and dubious change.

From the corner of my eye, I observed him, noting the periods he spent in there, and wondered what he may be hiding.

Every barred door stood in front of the truth I was looking for, hence every day seemed to be a sprint against time. Lucas sensed the tension, and his interest developed with every hushed exchange behind closed doors. 

I picked the lock one evening and I searched his desk for a set of records on offshore bank accounts.

As I carefully went through the papers—everything from bank statements to transfer slips—my heart accelerated.

Every paper was a thread in a web of lies. Among them, there was a suspected smoking pistol and a substantial amount of cash on a transaction sheet.

I quickly duplicated the papers so that everything was in order before Markon got back.
