Full part: My mother-in-law showed up at my restaurant with 38 friends and announced, “Order the most expensive things. I’m treating everyone today,” even though she knew she had no intention of paying. Instead of throwing them out, I looked at the manager and said, “Serve them everything.” Three hours later, when she saw the $23,289 bill and the folder I placed on the table, she stopped smiling.

Another woman asked:

“And with what money?”

Beatrice raised her glass.

“With money from this restaurant, of course. In the end, everything stays in the family.”

I remained standing behind

her, completely still.

For three months, I had been investigating strange withdrawals from my business account.

Hotels.

Gifts.

Transfers.

Debts that Lucas had never explained to me.

But until that moment, I hadn’t known something much worse:

Beatrice knew all about her son’s affair… and she also knew exactly where the money was coming from.

And while she toasted with thirty-eight friends, she still had no idea that I already had a response prepared that was going to destroy the lie I had been living with for years.

I couldn’t believe what was about to happen.
