Two heirs.
Two bloodlines.
Two signatures.
One combined account.
I couldn't believe it.
My parents and Ethan's grandfather had created a joint trust years earlier.

The first attempt had failed.
The second would be violent.

He wanted the trust.
He had spent years believing my parents hid the money from him.
