“If you want to review these, see if there are any transactions that seem like they shouldn't be there,” I say.

“How did you get these?” she asks.

“Drew hacked into their system and downloaded his transaction history,” I reply.

“Ohh.”

She was there when Gino told us he was giving Drew full authority to hack into anything. Maybe she didn’t think it would be this.

She looks up from the page she has in her hand.

“Be honest with me. Are we ever going to find him? I would like him to meet them one day.”

I grab her hand and squeeze. “Vanessa, I can’t promise it’ll happen tomorrow, but we’ll find him.”

She nods. Biting her lip.

One of the babies starts to cry through the monitor, and her head whips towards the noise. “I’m going to check on them and be back,” she replies, getting up and leaving the room.

Looking over the transactions, nothing seems too out of the ordinary. It’s too perfect. Like I’ve noticed before. Either they have the best accountants and analysts in the world, or they’re covering something up.

Moving to the asset documents Drew found, there are a lot of properties of Lorenzo’s and Anthony’s. All have been searched.

Then I see it.

Anna Russo.

Lorenzo’s mother. Anything associated with her hasn’t been searched.

It’s an unwritten rule.

Except.

She’s been living in France for the last year. Some disagreement with Anthony pushed her and her daughter to move there.

This shouldn’t be here.

I dig deeper.

Some of these properties were put into her name after she left. Anthony wouldn’t do that. The only reason it would be in her name is if it’s a gift, she bought it herself, or someone moved it into her name.

I keep digging, not paying attention to my surroundings.

The chair next to me moves and I hear the light scrape of the legs on the floor.

I feel a hand on my arm, a warm, rough hand.

“Bella,” I hear a gruff voice whisper.

Gino.

“Bella, what is it?”

I look up and scan the room to make sure Vanessa isn’t around.

“I may have found our smoking gun.”

I hand him the asset file I was looking at.
