Chapter 8 - The Syndicate Gala
Two days later, the grand luxury mansion was completely transformed for a massive, lavish gala.
Camilla, wearing a stunning, backless emerald green evening gown, was hosting the leaders of the Five Families. The grand ballroom was filled with crystal chandeliers, expensive champagne, and the most dangerous, powerful cartel bosses in the country.
Camilla moved through the crowd with absolute, arrogant confidence. Her grand plan was finally in motion.
She stepped up to the microphone on the grand staircase, tapping her crystal glass to command the attention of the ruthless billionaires. She planned to announce that Lorenzo was entirely too emotionally devastated by Sophie's "tragic worsening condition" to continue leading the syndicate, and that her brother would be stepping in as the acting Don.
She smiled triumphantly at the crowd, fully believing she had successfully manipulated and poisoned her way to the absolute, undisputed throne of the criminal underworld.
"My friends," Camilla announced, her voice dripping with fake, theatrical sorrow. "It is with a heavy heart that I must address the future of our great family tonight."
