Chapter 5 - The Framed LedgerAs Adrian and Amaraâs relationship deepened into real love, Vanessa Cross grew consumed by bitter, vengeful rage.
Seeing her plans to marry Adrian slip away, Vanessa conspired with Adrianâs ambitious uncle, Richard, to destroy Amara forever.
Using her fatherâs access to Cole Globalâs financial servers, Vanessa created a series of fake offshore wire transfers totaling five million dollars, routing the stolen corporate funds through a newly opened private bank account registered under Amaraâs name.
On a rainy Thursday afternoon, Vanessa marched into Adrianâs corporate office accompanied by two private auditors.
âAdrian!â Vanessa shouted, throwing a thick audit binder onto his mahogany desk. âI told you that woman was a con artist! Look at the transfers!â
Adrian frowned, opening the binder. His eyes scanned the certified bank logs.
The documents clearly showed five million dollars transferred from Cole Globalâs primary accounts into Amaraâs personal account over the past three weeks.
Adrianâs mind went numb with panic. Ghostly memories of past betrayalsâwomen who had lied to him for his fortuneâflooded his thoughts.

âThis is impossible,â Adrian stammered, his hands shaking. âAmara wouldn't do this.â
âShe used her access to your home office, Adrian!â Vanessa insisted, placing her hand on his shoulder. âShe acted sweet and humble just to lower your guard! Sheâs been robbing you blind from the day she walked into your house!â
