Chapter 13 - Rafael Freezes Alejandro's Corporate Assets With One Call
Rafael Montes sat behind his massive walnut desk, executing the final legal maneuvers to dismantle his son-in-law's empire. His lead corporate attorney stood nearby, holding an expedited court order signed by a federal judge.
“File the emergency receivership motion for Moretti Logistics immediately,” Rafael commanded without looking up. “And make sure every single domestic and international bank account is locked tight by noon.”
The attorney nodded, rushing out of the office to execute the high-stakes corporate execution. Rafael leaned back in his leather chair, massaging his temples as the emotional toll of the day finally caught up.
His daughter had nearly suffered the same tragic fate as a young woman named Sofia five years prior. If Elena’s smartwatch hadn't triggered that automatic emergency recording, the truth would have stayed buried forever.
His private intercom buzzed sharply, breaking his train of thought with an urgent incoming call. “Mr. Montes, you have an encrypted line holding from the federal penitentiary downtown,” his assistant announced.
Rafael pressed the flashing button on his console, bringing the secure call onto the office speaker system. “This is Rafael Montes. Who is speaking?” he demanded with characteristic authority.

“It’s Alejandro, Rafael... please, you have to talk to the prosecutors and drop the asset freezes,” Alejandro begged tearfully. Rafael let out a cold, humorless chuckle before responding with absolute finality.
“You made your bed, Alejandro. Now you get to spend the rest of your life rotting in federal prison,” Rafael hung up.
