Chapter 7
After the arrest, the case expanded faster than anyone expected.
Financial crimes rarely stay in one drawer.
Detective Harris obtained warrants for vendor payments, investor accounts, Madison’s consulting firm, and internal company communications.
Daniel Price rebuilt the money trail day by day.
Jason had hidden marital assets.
Misused company funds.
Moved investor money through fake service contracts.
Paid Madison through invoices tied to projects she had never touched.
He had even transferred funds the morning after I filed for divorce.
The timing mattered.
So did the arrogance.
Jason believed money moved faster than truth.
But truth had learned to keep receipts.
Madison hired her own attorney within forty-eight hours.
That told me everything about love in Jason’s world.
It lasted until accounts froze.
Her statement said she believed all payments were legitimate consulting income.
Daniel Price disagreed with numbers.
Numbers are quiet.
They are also merciless.
Meanwhile, my medical records became part of a separate criminal review.
Valerie was careful with me.
Every photograph.
Every report.
Every old explanation Jason had given.
A fall.
A burn.
A panic episode.
An accident.
Laid beside calendar entries, hotel records, text messages, and security timestamps, the pattern became harder to dismiss.
I hated needing a pattern.
I hated that one injury was easier for people to explain away, while many injuries became evidence only when placed in neat chronological order.
But I let the records speak.
Because for years, Jason had spoken over me.
Now paper spoke back.
One evening, Valerie called and said, “You should know the receivership petition was granted.”
“What does that mean?”
“Jason no longer controls the company.”
I sat down slowly.
For years, he had told me the company was his body, his blood, his proof.
Now someone else held the keys.
