Chapter 6 - I Freeze Every Unauthorized Card
That night, I called the bank.
Not to scream fraud before facts were established.
To protect the company.
My attorney, Rebecca Sloan, joined the call.
We froze unauthorized cards.
Removed Lucas’s administrative access.
Changed payment approvals.
Preserved account records.
My accountant secured copies of vendor files.
Lucas stood in my office watching.
“You’re destroying our marriage over accounting entries.”
I almost laughed.
“No. The accounting entries are documenting what happened to our
marriage.”
He told me married couples shared money.
Sometimes they did.
But Lumina was a corporation with payroll, taxes, vendors, and
employees.
Restaurant revenue was not Lucas’s personal allowance.
Then he said something I wrote down immediately.
“I was going to put it back after the Harbor deal.”
“What Harbor deal?”

His face went still.
He had just revealed something the audit had not found yet.
