The Five Million Dollar Payback

Summary

I wanted to check the balance for our power bill, but when I logged into The City Power & Light App, I found two separate utility accounts linked under my husband’s name.

The second account’s memo field read: “The Real Home.”

A cold dread washed over me. The real home?

I called my husband, Liam, keeping my voice level. “Why is there an extra electricity bill under your name? For a property I don't recognize?”

I could hear the click of a keyboard on his end. He sounded unconcerned, even a little bored.
