The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 25

Chapter 25: Her plan Anya nodded.

"A little hole can sink the ship. She has had a year to plan. From what I know it seems something went wrong with Lena family's business years ago and the decided to trade with terrorists somehow. They set me up as an escape plan. They prob gured the money will prove traced back to the Shaw family in some way. They needed someone among the Shaw family who the family would believe is the culprit and abandon. And it helped that I had fallen IN love with you, then and was trying to get along with your family, so she became friends with me. She probably even set up our marriage," Anya said and Daniel felt his heart jump in his chest. He tried to stay focused on what she was saying. "What do you mean she set up our marriage? I know how we got married, is there more that I should know?" he asked.

"I find it odd that not only do I look like the woman you live, I just happened to have saved grandpa. His accident was odd. On a busy road, no one heard him calling for help. He mistakes me for Selene and you, who is still in love with your childhood lover, agree to marry," she explained.

"Aren't You overthinking?" he asked and she shook her head.

"I don't believe that you could be forced into marriage. You probably only went along with it after you met me. Look similar to Selene after all," Anya said and he looked away. He felt she had seen through him.

He wondered how long she had been thinking of this to come to this realization.

"Now, Mary just realized this morning that you never knew you had a joint account with me or even were a signatory to my account because I made a mistake. I even slipped that I was trying to move the money and close down the account, but the accountant asked me to get Lena's permission on our own account. Mary has been presenting herself to me as a big executive in the banking sector. When I have a problem with my account, obviously, I would go to my friend," Anya said.

"So, she is suspicious of an account used as evidence I did not know I had that has been sending and receiving money to the Middle East. The same account we need Lena's permission to do anything to?" he asked.

"Yes. I have passed a few things to her to solidify her suspicion. For her to say that the job has. been done and I can move the money, I am guessing the accountant has been caught," Anya guessed.

He could not help but stare at her as she talked, He never knew she was this smart. Anya's plan was very believable. If they moved recklessly now. It would be seen that they were trying to cover
