Chapter 11 - The True Heir

Julian lay on the stage floor, gasping in pain as blood soaked his white dress shirt. He stared up at Elena in shock and fury.
"Who... who are you?" Julian wheezed, trembling as Dante walked over and kicked Julian's fallen pistol far across the stage floor.
Elena lowered her weapon, stepping over to Dante’s side. She reached into her inner jacket pocket and pulled out an old, yellowed document wrapped in a velvet casing, alongside a silver necklace bearing the true Moretti seal.
"My name is Elena Moretti," she announced clearly, her voice echoing over the microphone. "I am the daughter of your father’s eldest brother, legal heiress to the original Moretti trust."
Julian gasped, his face draining of what little color remained. "Impossible... Uncle Victor died in Europe thirty years ago!"
"He died in hiding because your real father betrayed him," Elena revealed, her eyes burning with righteous fury. "My father spent his life tracking the embezzlement records that your biological father used to drain the family accounts. And ten years ago, when you burned the estate, you didn't destroy the true will."
She opened the velvet document, holding it up for the remaining press cameras that were still recording every second of the confrontation.
"This is the certified biometric trust registered in Zurich," Elena continued. "It legally stripped you of every asset, every dollar, and every property five years ago. You’ve been spending stolen money, Julian."
