Then a curse.
Michael had invested nearly two million dollars into Ethan’s latest development project.
A project that used the mansion as collateral.
A mansion Ethan didn’t actually own.
“Does Ethan know?” he asked.
“Oh, he knows now.”
Michael hung up without another word.
By noon, Ethan’s office looked like a war zone.
Investors were demanding explanations.
Banks were requesting documents.
Partners were asking questions he couldn’t answer.
Because for years Ethan had presented himself as a wealthy real-estate entrepreneur.
In reality, much of the image had been financed by me.
The luxury vehicles.
The memberships.
The business credit.
The social connections.
