Chapter 3: Ethan Arrives
The restaurant doors opened.
Ethan walked inside.
He had been planning to surprise Savannah with dessert.
Instead, he found his sister covered in red wine.
"What happened?"
Nobody answered.
Savannah hurried toward him.
"Your sister ruined everything."
Ethan looked at me.
Then at the soaked dress.
Then at the folder.
"I think you should read this first," I said.
He opened it.
The first page.
The second.
The third.
His face lost all color.
"These payments..."
I nodded.
"They all lead to one account."
Savannah reached for his arm.
"Ethan, she's twisting everything."
He pulled away.
"The account belongs to..."
He looked up slowly.
"...your brother."
Nobody moved.
Becca covered her mouth.
Kenzie stared at Savannah in disbelief.
Ethan flipped to the final page.
A bank authorization.
Signed electronically.
By Savannah.
The room that had come to watch a glamorous bachelorette dinner suddenly felt like an audit.
"You've been stealing from the wedding fund," Ethan whispered.
Savannah's voice shook.
"I was going to pay it back."
May you like
"With what?"
No answer.
