Five years after our divorce, I unexpectedly ran into my ex-husband at my cousin’s wedding. Standing beside him was the woman he had chosen after our marriage ended. He gave me a smug smile and said, “Leaving you was the smartest decision I ever made.”

I hadn’t investigated him because he humiliated me.

Rhodes Capital had a legal obligation to report evidence of possible financial crimes discovered during due diligence.

And Daniel had provided more than enough evidence.

Still, there was one thing he clearly did not understand.

“You’re doing this because you hate me,” he hissed.

I shook my head.

“No, Daniel.”

I stepped slightly closer.

“If I hated you, this would be revenge.”

Then I lowered my voice.

“This is compliance.”

Adrian almost smiled.

Daniel didn’t.

A moment later, my cousin’s husband approached us looking uncomfortable.

“Claire?”

“Yes?”

“There are two gentlemen near the entrance asking for Daniel.”

Daniel turned toward the ballroom doors.

Two federal agents were standing there.

Vanessa looked at him and whispered one word.

“Run.”

Daniel stared at her in disbelief.

And that was the moment I knew whatever remained of their relationship had just died.
