Chapter 6 - The Return of Valentina HerreraThe morning of the emergency shareholder meeting arrived under a crisp, clear sky.
Inside the grand glass auditorium of Farmacéutica Azteca, Rodrigo Vance stood at the podium in a tailored Italian suit. Hundreds of shareholders, board members, and news reporters filled the room.
"It is with a heavy heart," Rodrigo announced dramatically into the microphone, "that I announce the formal removal of Valentina Herrera. Her erratic behavior, coupled with the tragic embezzlement of company funds, leaves us no choice but to restructure..."
Suddenly, the heavy double doors at the back of the auditorium swung wide open.
A sharp, rhythmic clicking echoed through the silent room.
Valentina Herrera walked in.
She wore a striking dark emerald suit, her blonde hair styled into a flawless, sharp chignon, her gold-framed glasses reflecting the stage lights. Though she walked with a slight, subtle favor to her right foot, her posture was regal, commanding, and absolute.
Beside her walked Mateo, holding a leather binder, and standing tall right behind her as her personal head of security was Diego, looking imposing and sharp in a crisp dark suit.
The auditorium erupted into whispers and camera flashes. Rodrigo’s face drained of all color, his hands gripping the edges of the podium until his knuckles turned white.

"V-Valentina?" Rodrigo stammered. "You... you were missing..."
"I was attacked, Rodrigo," Valentina’s voice carried through the microphone systems with icy precision as she walked down the center aisle. "And while you were busy writing my corporate obituary, I was gathering the evidence of who paid those men."
