The daily restrictions, the quiet manner, the limiting of household spending—none of it was meant to diminish her. According to the letter, Ramon had ensured their lifestyle appeared modest while transferring the bulk of their savings into secure accounts. He believed that keeping a low profile was the best way to shield her from the turmoil surrounding him.
The blue notebook was filled with details: dates, conversations, financial transfers, and notes that made it clear he had been gathering information to help bring integrity back to an industry he cared deeply about.

Selena met with a lawyer to understand everything. As the documents were reviewed, the lawyer’s expression shifted from confusion to astonishment. Ramon had uncovered a complex web of unethical financial practices that extended far beyond his own workplace.

Enclosed with the documents was one final request: deliver the evidence to Antonio Mercado.
