Chapter 8 - Sabrina was not just the mistress

I found out about the affair after the attack.
Not before.
Sabrina was Mercer Ridge’s finance director.
She had worked with Ryan for five years.
The relationship became romantic around eight months before the kitchen incident.
Phone records.
Hotel receipts.
Messages.
Nothing complicated.
The more important relationship was financial.
Sabrina had invested:
$220,000
of her own money into one of Mercer Ridge’s side projects.
She had also personally guaranteed part of an equipment line.
If Mercer Ridge failed abruptly, she stood to lose:
Her job.
Her investment.
Possibly more.

That did not excuse anything.
It explained why my signature mattered to her personally.
