Chapter 7 - The Boardroom Coup
At nine o'clock the following morning, the annual board meeting of Moretti Enterprises was convened inside the top-floor glass boardroom overlooking Wall Street.
Vincent sat at the head of the mahogany conference table, smiling smugly alongside Victoria and her wealthy father, preparing to sign the documents that would liquidate Claire's remaining trust shares.
"Since my brother Adrian has mysteriously absconded with my late sister's child, I move to execute full power of attorney over all family assets," Vincent announced to the twelve board members.

Beside him walked Maya Reyes, flanked by four federal agents from the Department of Justice and two uniformed NYPD officers.
The boardroom fell into dead, suffocating silence.
"You're too late to sign those papers, Vincent," Adrian announced in a quiet, lethal voice that echoed off the glass walls.
