I had to put the paper down.
For weeks, I had wondered whether Daniel wanted me dead.
Now I understood that he had considered my death one possible outcome of a plan designed to take control of my life and my money.
The officers also discovered that he had been researching how to challenge my ability to manage my own affairs. His goal was to gain control of my assets before his creditors could reach him.
The documents bearing my disputed signature were referred for forensic examination.
My financial institutions were notified. The questionable transactions were frozen where possible, and my solicitor began the process of protecting my property and challenging the fraudulent claims.
Daniel was arrested and charged in connection with the suspected poisoning, the disputed documents, and the financial scheme. His case would have to be decided in court.
For the first time in six months, I could breathe without wondering what was in my cup.
