“What is the name on the second account?” I asked.
David shook his head, tapping his pen against the paper. “The bank records only show the account number for now. I am waiting on the corporate registry to return the ownership filing. It is masked behind an LLC.”
My finger went to my wrist, my thumb pressing against the metal strap of my watch. “So he is paying for a divorce with the money I am trying to save.”
