“Send Miss Wright into my office. Right away!” Zach ordered his assistant and slammed the receiver back on the phone.

He was fuming and could barely keep himself in check. Bad enough that the investigation was dragging on over a week already, but now the SEC had gone too far. What they were doing now was an infringement on his rights and his ability to run his business. He couldn’t let anybody get away with this. Not even Rochelle.

A knock at the door made him bark, “Come!”

The door opened.

“Mr. Ivers?” he heard Rochelle ask. “You wanted to see me?”

“Come in, Miss Wright,” he ground out from between clenched teeth. “And please close the door behind you.”

When he heard that she’d followed his command, he turned to her and glared at her furiously, every ounce of friendliness drained from his voice. “What the fuck were you thinking?”

She swallowed visibly, clearly aware of the reason for his current state of fury. “It was necessary in order to—”

He marched toward her with long strides. “It was necessary to freeze my bank accounts and credit cards? If you think I’ll just take that lying down, then you’re wrong.”

“It’s standard procedure during investigations where there’s a suspicion that—”

He snatched her wrist. “Suspicion? For a week now you and your colleagues have been investigating me. And what have you found? Nothing. Because there’s nothing to find. And now you’re freezing my accounts? What are you trying to achieve by doing that?”

Rochelle’s chest heaved. She tried to free herself from his grip, but he didn’t allow it.

“Damn it, Rochelle. You know as well as I do that I’m innocent. And you also know that freezing accounts is not standard procedure. So don’t fucking lie to me. This is a witch hunt. Are you still so angry with me that you want to get back at me? Is that what’s going on here?”

“The SEC has its rules. I’m only executing my orders.”

Zach huffed angrily. “Not even you believe that. This has nothing to do with your orders. I wasn’t born yesterday. What’s next? Demand I hand over my passport?”

Her lips trembled when she answered, “You’re overreacting. We only wanted to make sure that—”

“I know exactly what you were trying to do,” he cut her off. “By freezing my accounts you’re trying to get me to reveal any other bank accounts I might have. Secret accounts. Because you think that I used a secret bank account to make those trades. Well, here’s some news for the SEC: I don’t have any secret accounts. The only bank accounts I have are the ones you just froze.”

“Zach, please.” She gestured to his hand, which was still clamped around her wrist. “I had no choice.”

Annoyed he shook his head. “You always have a choice. But you decided to bring in the big guns. Do I really deserve that?”

Something flickered in her eyes. Regret? No, he had to be wrong.

“I can’t treat you any differently than any other suspect.”

“Is that all I am to
