Chapter 9 - Alejandro Faces A Brutal Reality At The Boardroom
The morning sun cast a cold, harsh light across the glass-walled boardroom of Moretti Shipping. Alejandro strode through the double doors at nine sharp, expecting his executive VPs to be waiting with coffee.
Instead, the long mahogany table sat completely empty except for a lone federal marshal standing by the window. Alejandro stopped dead in his tracks, his heart hammering against his ribs in sudden panic.
“What is the meaning of this intrusion?” Alejandro demanded, adjusting his tie with shaking fingers. The federal marshal stepped forward, pulling a thick stack of legal documents from his leather briefcase.
“Alejandro Moretti, you are hereby served with a federal search warrant and asset forfeiture notice,” the marshal announced. “Your corporate holdings, private trusts, and maritime assets have been seized under anti-corruption statutes.”
“This is an outrage! My father-in-law cannot do this to me!” Alejandro shouted, slamming his fist onto the table. “This isn’t Rafael Montes; this is the United States Department of Justice,” the marshal corrected coldly.
Several junior executives peeked through the glass partition, watching their powerful boss fall from grace in real time. Alejandro realized he had lost everything—his money, his company, and his untouchable social status.
