And he had decided my condo was the solution.
At first, the plan seemed absurd.
How could he believe he could borrow against property he didn’t own?
But the more Monica investigated, the clearer the pattern became.
Adrian had provided a series of documents representing that I had authorized the financing.
Some contained information only a person living with me would know.
My date of birth.
My mortgage account information.
Copies of identification documents kept in our home office.
And a signature image apparently taken from an earlier document.
The lender’s internal review would determine what had been submitted and by whom.
But the evidence increasingly contradicted Adrian’s claim that everything had been a misunderstanding.
He hadn’t merely overstepped during an argument.
He’d participated in preparing a financing package involving my property.
I felt nauseated.
Then came another discovery.
A series of text messages between Adrian and Marjorie, obtained through the proper legal process, showed they had discussed the need for the condo to appear available for inspection.
