As for money, Daniel only knew about my day-to-day checking account—the one he uses for expenses. My real assets were tied up with the company, in accounts he didn’t even know existed.

He hesitated. “Margaret… he’s your son.”

“And he broke that bond first.”

I arrived at eight o’clock sharp.

The party was extravagant—white flowers everywhere, a string quartet, champagne, a magnificent cake. All paid for—or promised—with money Daniel thought he had.

When he saw me, he paled.
