For the most part of their marriage, Don and Hillary lived in an apartment building. When Hillary went to go tell Don that she was pregnant, he shared that he had bought a home in a great suburb outside of the city. The perfect place to raise their child.

The couple moved to a beautiful suburb just outside of Los Angeles. It was a large house, much larger than what Hillary initially thought. It was a good suburb in a gated community close to the beach.

Hillary’s heart warmed as the next phase of their life finally began. She wanted to find out how they could even afford such an expensive place, but she pushed the thought to the back of her mind. It wouldn’t be long before things started to fall apart.

The Police

The pair barely lived in their home for two years when things began falling apart. When Hillary returned home one evening, she discovered the authorities in her home questioning her babysitter.

Don was busy with work, and only the nanny was in the home. Hillary recently hired her to help with their child. She sent the sitter home and Hillary began speaking to the authorities, questioning them as to why they were in her home. The police could barely answer her questions when the phone rang.

“Aren’t you gonna answer that?” the police officer asked Hillary, as she turned her phone off. It was a strange number, and she was more concerned to find out why the police were at her home.

However, the person kept calling, and eventually, Hillary went to a different room to answer her phone. She thought it was some teenager playing a prank on her but the reality was far worse.

He Knew What Was Going On

“Hillary honey,” it was her husband. He sounded out of breath, almost like he had been running. “I want you to listen carefully, okay?” Hillary’s eyes locked with one of the officers and gave them a fake smile.

“The cops are in our living room,” Don explained. “I know. Later, I’ll explain. Please tell them you have a work emergency and follow my instructions to the letter. Okay?”

It’s Just A Prank

Hillary gave a nervous laugh, thinking everything that was happening was a joke. Her husband always loved goofing around from time to time, and she knew this was one of those times.

But there was a seriousness to his voice that had never been there before, and Hillary was starting to see that something was terribly wrong.

Take The Car

“I’m sorry, officers,” Hillary said from across the room. She shrugged her shoulders with a scrunch of her nose, “Work stuff.” She calmly walked into the kitchen and asked Don what was happening.

He didn’t explain, only told her she needed to take his car from their garage and drive to their local mechanic. She was to receive a bag from him, and he’d tell her where to take it.

Going To The Mechanic

Hillary drove out of their garage as calmly as she could. She was unsure of what was happening, but she knew her husband was in trouble.

She reached the mechanics faster than she thought she would, hoping the police weren’t on her trail yet. She didn’t need to explain anything to the mechanic, who saw her and came running with a brown duffle bag. What was happening?

The Plot Thickens

The mechanic didn’t answer the barrage of questions Hillary bombarded him with. Instead, he rushed to the car’s trunk and fished out two large bags. He was halfway across the garage with them when the door flew open, and several armed officers fell upon him.

It turns out Don had been part of a massive crime syndicate in the city for years. He’d been using Hillary, their child, and home to cover his tracks and had succeeded for almost a decade. But there was something even worse.

The Beginning Of The End

The worst thing the police revealed to Hillary was that Don had two other families in the city. He was an architect to one of the women and another, a celebrated screenwriter in Hollywood.

After the police caught him, they revealed receipts of his activities, ranging from thousands of frauds, illegal possessions, and trafficking. Hillary listened attentively, with tears in her eyes. She knew her nightmares had only begun.
