Chapter 15 - Alejandro Finds Himself Completely Cornered By Family Money
Isolated in the holding cell of the federal courthouse, Alejandro stared blankly at the cold concrete walls. The guards had confiscated his designer watch, his silk tie, and his expensive leather shoes.
He was dressed in a standard orange jumpsuit, reduced to a nameless inmate in the massive federal penal system. His mother, Victoria, had refused to answer his calls from her bedroom suite back at the mansion.
His high-priced defense attorneys had officially dropped him as a client after realizing his accounts were completely frozen. He had relied on his family’s wealth and intimidation tactics for his entire life, never learning how to stand alone.
Without money or influence, he was nothing more than a frightened, pathetic bully awaiting trial. Footsteps echoed down the sterile hallway, stopping outside the heavy iron bars of his holding cell.

Alejandro looked up, expecting a federal prosecutor or a court-appointed public defender. Instead, standing in the corridor was Julian Vance, wearing a sharp trench coat and a cold, calculating smile.
“You always were a monumental disappointment, Alejandro,” Julian remarked softly through the bars. Alejandro scrambled to his feet, grabbing the iron bars with trembling fingers. “Uncle Julian! You have to help me get out of here!”
