Trapped in my father's secret corporate bunker, I uncovered the 1944 letter that destroyed us both.
👉 Previous Action: You were apprehended by Marcus Adler after shouting your location.
The holding cell was cold, smelling of stale concrete and despair. Days blurred into a single, grey memory. Marcus Adler’s words replayed in my head: “Corporate espionage. Felony trespass.”
Arthur Montgomery’s legal team moved with ruthless efficiency. Without my phone or flash drives, all my preliminary research, my years of obsession, vanished. I had no evidence, only my word against the CEO of Montgomery Defense Corp.
My ex-wife, Clara Dupont, visited once. Her face was tight with worry.
“Arthur’s lawyers presented doctored photos,” she said, her voice strained. “Showing you tampering with equipment. They’re calling it an industrial sabotage attempt.”
“It’s a lie,” I insisted, rattling the bars. “I was just trying to expose his fraud.”
She shook her head slowly. “The judge… Judge Eleanor Ross… she revoked your bail. Citing flight risk and mental instability.”
The world outside my cell walls continued, but I was severed from it. My defense fund, a meager $14,000, evaporated under legal fees and Arthur’s relentless attacks. No one believed the disgraced, bankrupt attorney with a suspended license.
The sentencing was swift and impersonal. Three years. Three years in a federal prison. The fraud, the decades of deception, my mother’s mystery—all of it remained buried beneath layers of corporate power. The truth became just another casualty.
