Chapter 17 - the new era
Five years passed in absolute serenity. Adrian Voss had fully transitioned his underworld empire into a respected, legitimate corporate conglomerate. The Linden Room was no longer just a restaurant; it was the crown jewel of an international hospitality group.
Sophie, the brave former waitress, was now its brilliant Chief Operating Officer. She ruled the boardrooms with the exact same unyielding composure that Adrian had taught her. She wore tailored designer suits and commanded absolute respect.
Mrs. Ellis, the kind elderly woman who had saved Adrian's life decades ago, lived in a luxurious, heavily guarded private estate fully funded by Adrian. The bloody ghosts of the mafia past seemed permanently buried.
But the criminal world never truly forgets a defeat. Deep within the corrupt political shadows of Chicago, a bitter enemy was patiently planning a devastating revenge.
