Daniel put his phone down.
Claire stood silently across from him.
He finally asked.
How much did you find?
Claire almost laughed.
That is your first question?
Daniel looked away.
She reached into the bag and removed a folded bank document.
Three hundred thousand dollars.
Daniel froze.
Claire continued.
Transferred from our joint account into a company I have never heard of.
Daniel looked at the paper.
Claire had already circled the company name.
Mason Development Group.
Who are they?
Daniel answered quietly.
A private investment company.
Claire stared at him.
And when were you planning to tell me you invested our money?
Daniel stepped closer.
I was going to.
When?
After it worked?
Daniel said nothing.
Claire looked down at her wedding ring.
Then she said the part that hurt most.
That money was supposed to pay for the baby’s future.
