Chapter 8 - The Council's Ultimatum
In the grand marble hall of the Moretti estate, six senior council members in expensive suits stood near the main staircase, flanked by twelve heavily armed private security contractors.
Elder Victor—the oldest member of the council—stepped forward, leaning on an ivory cane.
"Alessandro!" Victor called out as Alessandro descended the grand staircase wearing a crisp black suit, his expression impenetrable. "We received reports that you have unlawfully imprisoned Julian Moretti, a senior board director!"
Alessandro stopped at the bottom step, his hand resting calmly in his jacket pocket. "Julian attempted to murder my wife and stolen thirty million dollars from the family trust. He is no longer a director."
Victor sneered, raising his chin arrogantly. "Isabella Carter was never recognized as your legal wife by this council! And the baby she carries has no proven bloodline right to the Moretti estate! Hand Julian over to us so the council can settle this privately, or we will revoke your leadership title!"
Alessandro smiled—a cold, terrifying expression that sent a shiver through the room.
