By late afternoon, investigators had obtained records linking Northbridge Capital to several suspicious property transfers.
The stolen assets were worth millions.
Victor Price was questioned.
Daniel Price disappeared.
Alex remained in custody.
And authorities began reopening several older investigations, including the circumstances surrounding my father's death.
I thought the worst part might finally be behind us.
Then Detective Harris called again.
“Emily, I need you to come to the station.”
“Why?”
“We found a connection between the Willow Creek Trust and your family.”
I frowned.
“My mother's already told you about the trust.”
“This isn't about your mother.”
My heart began racing.
“Then who?”
He hesitated.
“Your father.”

At the station, Detective Harris handed me a folder.
Inside was an old corporate registration.
The company was called Silvergate Property Management.
It had been established twenty-seven years earlier.
The listed directors were Richard Price, Victor Price, and someone else.
My father.
