Chapter 12 - The Fallout in the Lobby
As the courtroom cleared, Luca stumbled out into the marble hallway, where two uniformed federal agents were waiting near the exit doors.
Standing between them was Chloe Ruiz, wearing dark sunglasses, her wrists bound in cold steel handcuffs as she wept hysterically.
"Luca! Help me!" Chloe sobbed as she saw him. "They arrested me at my apartment! They said I was an accomplice to wire fraud!"
The lead agent stepped in front of Luca. "Mr. Vance, Miss Ruiz has signed a full confession statement detailing your instruction to hide offshore funds. You are under federal arrest for corporate fraud and falsification of financial documents."
Before Luca could even utter a word of defense, the second agent twisted his arms behind his back and clicked handcuffs tightly around his wrists.
Reporters from three major local news stations swarmed the lobby, flashbulbs exploding in a blinding storm as the disgraced former CEO was led out in chains right past his ex-wife.
