Chapter 4 - The Will of the Bellaro Trust
The penthouse nursery fell into total, suffocating silence. Outside the high-rise glass, rain began to streak across the night view of the city.
Lorenzo stood up from his leather chair, his tall, broad frame towering over the nursery. He walked slowly toward Victoria, his polished shoes clicking against the dark hardwood floor.
"Maya," Lorenzo commanded without turning around. "Explain."
Maya opened her navy nursing binder, pulling out a folded sheet of legal paper she had printed from the state registry earlier that afternoon.
"Six months ago, Nico's late mother left her family inheritance in a binding private trust," Maya explained calmly. "Under section four of the Bellaro estate charter, if infant Nico passes away before his first birthday, eighty percent of the maternal fortune reverts directly to his legal guardian's wedded spouse."
Victoria’s chest heaved as she backed away, her golden dress rustling loudly against the window frame. "That's a lie! I don't need her money! Lorenzo has hundreds of millions!"
"Lorenzo’s money is tied up in corporate trusts that you cannot touch without his signature," Maya countered sharply. "But the maternal inheritance was fifty million dollars in cash—liquid funds that would transfer to you thirty days after marrying Lorenzo, provided the child was no longer alive."
