Chapter 5 - THE SIGNATURE I NEVER GAVE
Eleanor discovered that Lucas had attempted to initiate several financial transactions before leaving Denver.
Some had been rejected because they required my authorization.
Others were still pending.
We requested account records and preserved relevant correspondence.
Eleanor warned me not to move or conceal joint assets.
“We need to protect your position without creating problems for you later.”
I nodded.
Then she showed me something.
A transfer request.
My name appeared on it.
And beneath it was a signature.
My signature.
Except I hadn't signed it.
I stared.
“That isn't mine.”
Eleanor looked at me.
“Are you certain?”
“Yes.”
She nodded.
“Then we need to investigate whether someone forged it.”
My stomach tightened.
Lucas had crossed a line I hadn't imagined he'd cross.
He hadn't simply lied about Switzerland.
He may have tried to use my identity to move money.
I looked at Eleanor.
“What happens now?”

She closed the folder.
“Now we stop treating this as an ordinary divorce.”
