Then I noticed a transfer of money to an unfamiliar account.
The amount was significant, but I assumed it might have been connected to Kelly’s business.
I continued reading.
There was another transfer.
Then another.
Within six months, a large portion of our savings had disappeared.
I sat down slowly.
The money we had been putting aside for a house had been transferred in installments to an account I didn’t recognize.
I asked the bank representative whether she could tell me who owned it.
She explained that she couldn’t disclose another customer’s private information without the proper authorization or legal process.
I understood.
I wasn’t asking her to break the rules. I needed to know what I was dealing with before making any decisions.
I requested copies of the statements and left the bank with my hands shaking.
Outside, I called Amaka.
“Something is wrong.”
“What happened?”
“Kelly has been moving money out of our savings account for months.”
