And the worst…
Daniel knew it before anyone else.
THE SECRET DANIEL HID FROM ME
I drove aimlessly, until my fingers cramped from squeezing the steering wheel so much. Emma was silent in the back seat, feeling my fear even though she didn’t understand it. I stopped in the empty parking lot of a supermarket and answered again.
“Tell me everything,” I demanded, my voice breaking.
He sighed with difficulty.
“I never wanted you to find out like that.
“Find out what?”
“I work for a private cybersecurity company hired by the Prosecutor’s Office,” he confessed. I analyze financial crimes: money laundering, shell companies, illegal transfers.
I stared at the board, as if I couldn’t focus my eyes.
—You always said that you worked in systems.
“I didn’t lie to you,” he replied. I just didn’t tell you the whole truth.
“Then why were the police at my sister’s house?”
“Because three weeks ago we detected a huge illegal transfer,” he said. Millions of pesos moved through false foundations. Everything led to a single residential address.
I swallowed hard.
“From whom?”
There was a long, heavy pause.
