CHAPTER 028

ADRIAN’S POV

Martha: “BTC wallet? Why that? Don’t you have a company account or a personal account?”

Sam: “I do, but I feel it’s safer this way. Transferring all those funds… a small mistake, and it’s all gone.”

Martha: “Hmmm, alright then. If you feel that way, send the address.”

I clenched my jaw as I read the messages over and over again. She had trusted him. She had believed in his words, just like a hundred other business partners she had worked with over the years. But this time, she had made the wrong choice.

He sent her the BTC address, and she transferred the funds.

Then, silence.

The chat history told a story of betrayal. At first, my mother had been calm.

Martha: “Okay, so when should we expect some profits?”

Days passed. No response.

Martha: “Sam? It’s been a few days now. I just wanted an update.”

Still nothing.

Martha: “Sam, I’ve been trying to reach out to you, but you’re not answering. I event went to your place, but your neighbors say you haven’t been around for two weeks. Please get back to me as soon as possible.”

A week passed.

Martha: “Sam, I haven’t heard from you in over a month. The investors are already on my neck. What the hell is going on?”

Then came the flood of texts. She had begged, threatened, demanded answers–but still, there was nothing. He had vanished.

My blood boiled as I stared at the messages. This wasn’t just a bad business deal. This wasn’t just some unfortunate market turn. This was a fraud.

Sam Grayson had manipulated my mother, convinced her to gather an impossible. amount of money, and then led her to send it in a way that couldn’t be traced.

She had been desperate, and he had used that desperation against her.

I gripped the phone so tightly than fully unlocked

Successfully

My mother wasn’t stupid. She must have realized the truth too late. Maybe that’s why she had called him 81 times, why she had sent all those messages. She had been pleading for a way out, and he had ignored her.

I exhaled sharply, trying to steady myself, but my vision was blurring with rage.

She had killed herself because of this.

Because of him.

I sucked in a deep breath and shut my eyes, willing my emotions to calm down. My mother must have felt so alone in her final moments. She hadn’t come to me. She hadn’t told me what was happening. Had she thought I wouldn’t understand? Or had she been afraid of burdening me?

Didn’t she realize I would have fought for her?

A sharp pain tightened in my chest, but I shoved it down. Now wasn’t the time to mourn. I needed to act.

I wiped the tears from my face and stood up.

The documents.

She had mentioned reviewing them before making the transfer. That meant the papers had to be somewhere in this room.

I moved to her wardrobe first, sifting through her neatly folded clothes, and searching. for a hidden folder or envelope. Nothing..

Next, I checked her nightstand drawers, pulling each one open, and running my fingers -over every surface. Still nothing.

Then, finally, buried beneath a pile of dresses at the bottom of the closet, I found a thick yellow file.

I sat on the bed and opened it carefully.

My breath caught as I scanned the contents.

There it was.

A record of the transfer–350 million dollars.

Her name and signature were on it. So was his.

Sam Grayson.

This bastard had signed off on everything.

I flipped through the pages, reading every detail. He had promised a 200% return on investment. He had guaranteed safety. He had been so convincing that my mother had put everything on the line.

got involved, all they would do was open an investigation, drag the case through court,
