Chapter 2: The Name on the Document

Three transfers.
Each one sent to the same account.
I didn't recognize the number at first.
Then I searched it.
It was a joint savings account — opened six months ago — in Brandon's name and Hannah's.
He had been moving my money into their life.
My hands were shaking so hard I had to set the phone down.
I had skipped lunches.
Picked up night shifts.
Told myself it was temporary, that it was all for us.
And he had taken $4,200 of it and quietly built a future with someone else.
I called my bank.
The woman on the line confirmed the transfers were authorized through my own login.
—Someone accessed your account from a saved device, ma'am.
Brandon had my password.
I had trusted him with everything.
I sat in my car in that parking lot for a long time.
Then my phone rang.
It was Hannah.
I almost didn't answer.
But something made me.
—Rachel?
— Her voice was different now.
Quieter.
— I think we need to talk.
I found something in his bag tonight.
Something with your name on it.
She paused.
—There's a document here.
It looks like…
Rachel, did you ever sign anything giving Brandon access to a savings account?
My stomach dropped.
—No.
I never signed anything.
The silence that followed was the loudest thing I had ever heard.
