The arrest isn’t dramatic.
No tackling, no screaming.
Just handcuffs clicking shut while Daniel stares at you like he can’t believe you chose reality over loyalty.
As they lead him away, his face twists and he spits, “You think you won? You’re nothing without the company.”
You watch him go and realize something surprising.
He’s right about one thing: the company you loved is not the company you have anymore.
But he’s wrong about the rest.
Because you’re discovering a different kind of worth.
Miranda tries to run.
She books a flight under a different name and moves money through a chain of accounts designed to vanish.
But Luis, quiet Luis, remembers a detail he overheard months ago: a safe deposit box at a small bank in Jersey, because Miranda didn’t trust digital storage.
That one detail becomes the thread that unravels her.
When they arrest Miranda, the news breaks like thunder.
The same anchors who called you “disgraced” now call you “wrongfully accused.”
Your face returns to screens with a new caption: “Victim of executive coup.”
It should feel satisfying, but it mostly feels like exhaustion with a thin layer of relief.
The board calls an emergency meeting to “restore confidence.”
You’re invited like you’re a guest in your own house.
Marisol insists you attend, not as a plea, but as a presence.
Luis comes too, in a clean work jacket, hands still rough, eyes steady.
