Chapter 10 - WHAT DANIEL HAD BEEN HIDING
The divorce disclosures opened our finances.
That was when I found the second betrayal.
Daniel had borrowed against his interest in Hawthorne Ventures.
Five million dollars.
No problem by itself.
Then I saw where the money went.
Richard’s debts.
Margaret’s credit cards.
His brother’s failed restaurant.
Tessa’s mortgage.
Family.
Family.
Family.
Then.
$620,000 transferred from our joint household account into Hawthorne Estate Operations.
I had not authorized it.
Daniel claimed it represented his income.
Partly true.
But the account also contained distributions from my company used for household expenses.
Money had been mixed.
Rebecca called it traceable.
I called it exhausting.

Daniel had spent years telling me his family depended on him.
In reality, everyone depended on everyone except the person quietly paying the largest bills.
