CHAPTER 2 — The Name Behind the Doors
The lights flickered once.
Then the massive central screen above the stage turned on by itself.
A single file appeared.
FERRER ASSET CONTROL — AUTHORIZATION VERIFIED
Nicolás froze.
“No…” he muttered. “That’s impossible.”
Valeria stepped closer, slow and deliberate.
“You like to hurt people in public,” she said. “So I made sure your truth becomes public too.”
The screen changed.
Bank accounts. Offshore holdings. Private transfers. Bribes. Threats. Names of judges. Names of ministers.
A full financial autopsy of the Ferrer empire unfolded in front of 300 witnesses.
Gasps erupted.
Someone dropped a champagne glass. It shattered like a gunshot.
Nicolás turned pale.
“You’re bluffing,” he hissed.
Valeria shook her head.
“I don’t bluff. I inherit systems.”
A final line appeared on the screen:
OWNER CONFIRMATION: VALERIA FERRER — PRIMARY HEIR
The room erupted into chaos.
Nicolás staggered back.
“You’re not supposed to have that name…”
Valeria’s voice was calm.
“I didn’t take it from you.”
May you like
She paused.
“I took it back.”
