Chapter 15 - the grand gala
To solidify his absolute, undisputed dominance and celebrate Elena's miraculous return to the light, Dante hosted a grand, opulent gala at the luxury mansion.
The city's elite, powerful politicians, and closely allied syndicate bosses attended, their sleek luxury vehicles lining the sweeping, heavily guarded driveway.
The grand ballroom was a breathtaking spectacle of cinematic wealth. It was adorned with thousands of pristine white roses and illuminated by massive, sparkling crystal chandeliers that cast a warm, golden glow over the crowd.
Dante, wearing a perfectly tailored, razor-sharp black tuxedo, stood at the top of the grand marble staircase. The entire room fell absolutely silent as Elena appeared right beside him.
She wore a stunning, backless emerald green gown. Her blonde hair was elegantly styled, falling perfectly over her shoulder, completely hiding the burn scar. She radiated a fierce, untouchable, and absolute beauty.
Dante offered his arm, his dark eyes filled with overwhelming, fierce pride. As they descended the sweeping staircase, the powerful guests broke into rapturous, echoing applause.
The message to the criminal underworld was crystal clear: the king and queen of Chicago were united, unbroken, and vastly more powerful than ever before.
