Later, I received a message from Dani asking to meet in person. I did not trust the situation, but I also needed answers.
We agreed to meet at a diner where I could see her clearly and observe everything around us.
When I arrived, Dani was already waiting in a corner booth. She looked tired and nervous, not like her usual self.
I sat down and said, “Start explaining everything from the beginning.”
She hesitated before saying she did not directly open accounts in my name, but she admitted that she helped Mom with documents.
“She said it was just paperwork,” Dani said. “She told me it would not affect you.”
I asked her, “When did Rook become involved?”
Her voice dropped as she explained that he appeared after the financial pressure began and started controlling how things were handled.
She said he pushed for more access and demanded proof using my voice and personal information.
I felt my stomach turn as I realized how deep it had gone.
“So you gave him my voice,” I said.
Dani looked down and admitted she had shared voice messages because she believed it would protect the family from consequences.
I told her, “That voice is now being used against me.”
