He kept staring at the screen, thinking it had to be a mistake. $214. After all those years of work. After trusting people he thought would never let him down. Then he looked closer at the transactions. One by one. Payments he didn’t remember making. Transfers he didn’t approve. At first, he thought it was fraud. But then one name kept showing up. Someone he knew. Someone he trusted. His chest tightened. Because suddenly everything started to make sense. The “small favors.” The access he had given without thinking. The times he didn’t question anything. It wasn’t random. It wasn’t an accident. It had been happening slowly… right in front of him. He sat there in silence, realizing the truth hurt more than the money. Because it wasn’t just about what he lost… it was about who took it.
