The MISSING WILL

CHAPTER 1

Akron

Blinking against tears threatening to spill over, Kristi struggled to keep her focus on the road. Breaking up with Joel had been one of the hardest things she’d ever done. But it was the right decision. Her fingers turned white as she gripped the steering wheel. I can’t believe all the lies he’s told me.

Nothing about Joel made sense anymore. She’d been blinded by his good looks and charm. I should have listened to Mom. Kristi still didn’t understand the reason he’d kept his Amish heritage from her for so long or why he’d taken money from their joint account without telling her. If he hadn’t foolishly used money he’d earned on a job to buy a classic car he didn’t need, Joel wouldn’t be in a financial bind.

Kristi reflected on how desperate he’d seemed when he asked his sister Elsie about the will on the day of his father’s funeral. Joel had acted selfishly and unfeelingly. She couldn’t picture herself asking about her parents’ will so soon after one of them had passed away. Was Joel really that desperate for money?

Her throat constricted as she changed lanes. “‘For the love of money is the root of all evil,’” she murmured, quoting 1 Timothy 6:10. She reflected on 1 Timothy 6:7, as well: “For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.” Kristi had committed those two verses to memory when she’d attended a Bible study on money management a few years ago. Too bad I didn’t think to quote those scriptures to Joel when he told me how desperate he was for money. If he needed funds for a good cause, that would be one thing, but to waste it on a car he could certainly live without was foolish.

The longer Kristi thought about things, the more she wanted to pull to the side of the road and break down in tears. It would probably do her good to go for a run to release some tension, but right now she needed a listening ear. Turning at the next road, Kristi headed for her parents’ house. She hoped they were home.
