Blood Money

By: Kanyinda, Cedric

Marcus and Julian Donovan built Donovan Properties from nothing, transforming their father's failed construction business into a billion-dollar Manhattan real estate empire. They're not just brothers-they're best friends, partners, and each other's only family after their parents' deaths. But when Marcus discovers unusual transactions in their accounts, he starts digging and uncovers the devastating truth: Julian has been embezzling millions for years, using their company to launder money for dangerous investors. Even worse, Julian has been having an affair with Marcus's wife Sophie for the past two years, and they're planning to run away together with the stolen money.

Marcus's confrontation with Julian turns violent, and Julian disappears-either running or hiding, Marcus isn't sure. But Julian has left behind a trap: evidence planted to make Marcus look like the embezzler, along with threats that if Marcus goes to the authorities, Julian will release information that will destroy him. Enter Alexis Chen, a forensic accountant with a mysterious agenda of her own who offers to help Marcus untangle the financial web and prove his innocence. As Marcus works with Alexis to trace the money, he realizes the conspiracy goes deeper than he imagined-Julian has been working with their investors to commit massive fraud, and Sophie was manipulating both brothers all along. When Julian resurfaces with a counter-offer-split the money and walk away, or mutual destruction-Marcus must decide how far he'll go for revenge against the brother he once loved. The choice becomes even more complicated when he discovers that Alexis has her own connection to the Donovan family, and her help may be the most dangerous betrayal of all.
