Chapter 1: The Guest Who Forgot Her Place 027

“Then someone had access to records containing information that wasn’t publicly available.”

I thought about the documents I kept in a locked filing cabinet in our home office.

Tax returns.

Bank statements.

Copies of identification documents.

I had assumed they were safe.

“Could Daniel have gotten them from Kayla?”

I asked.

“Possibly,” the lawyer replied.

“But we should establish who had access to the records and when.”

When we returned home, Andrew and I checked the office.

The filing cabinet was locked.

The key was still where I kept it.

Nothing appeared disturbed.

Yet the folder containing my old bank statements was missing.

I opened every drawer.

We searched the shelves and the storage boxes.

Nothing.

Kayla stood in the doorway, watching us.

“I didn’t take anything,” she said quickly.

I looked at her.

“I haven’t accused you.”

“But you think I did.”

“I think someone had access to documents they shouldn’t have had.”
