Chapter 14 - the shocking truth
The cinematic realism of the betrayal hit the room like a physical blow. Marcus had been Luca's trusted advisor for over a decade. He had stood beside Luca when the empire transitioned from the underworld into legitimacy.
But as Maya dug deeper into the offshore accounts, she found something far more terrifying than simple greed. "Luca, look at this," Maya whispered, pointing a shaking finger at the monitor. "The shell companies aren't just holding the money. They are funneling it directly to an account registered in Geneva. An account belonging to the Vanguard Syndicate."
Luca’s jaw locked into unyielding stone. The Vanguard Syndicate was a ruthless, elite cabal of international arms dealers and human traffickers. Marcus wasn't just stealing money; he was using the charity's pristine reputation to wash dirty money for global terrorists.
"He is using our foundation as a massive money-laundering front," Luca growled softly, entirely devoid of mercy. "He is trying to drag our family back into the exact darkness we fought to escape."
