The Mafia Queen

Co-partner

Days have passed of training with my father and it was finally time for the pass-over meeting, I was nervous but my dad always told me to show confidence no matter the situation I was in. The past days my ankle has healed and most scratches on my face have also healed, I could walk normally in heels again but not for a long time. " The meeting will start in a few hours baby better get ready now" my mother brushed my hair to calm me down, " Yes mom" I smiled at her before going to my room to pick an outfit. It took me an hour to pick the perfect outfit to impress the other mafia leaders that are going to be present.

I then took a quick bath before throwing the outfit I picked out on. It was a black suit with a brown top inside, my dad told me black was our mafia color meaning anyone who was wearing black at the meeting was part of the black widows. I was the first woman to run the Black widows in Luciano history which was nerve wrecking, I expected them to not approve of me at all. I was standing looking in the mirror while crying when Dana walked in the room, " Are you ready my love?" she walked up to me. " Mom what will happen if they don't accept me as their new superior?" I teared up as she held me face in her hands, " They won't have a choice but to accept you my dear, tonight is your night okay" she reassured me.

I walked down stairs with my mom holding my hand, " William she's ready" she spoke to my dad. " Good, I hope you are fully prepared my dear because tonight your whole life is about to change" he warned me, " But no matter what happens I am going to be with you and help you where you need me". I felt my heart drop after he said those words, I hugged my mom for goodluck and walked to my dad. He held out his hand for me and I hooked mine around his, " Bye mom" I waved as we entered the limo. " Are you nervous?" He asked me, " Is it obvious?" I sighed. " I'm the current leader of the Black widows, what I say goes" he held my hand. Having him hold my hand to comfort me really worked, actually having him around is enough for me. My dad has always been my source of happiness maybe it's because he raised me to be like him but in all honesty he was my best friend, " Thanks Dad" I gave him a genuine smile.

Moments have passed of me calming myself down and we finally made it, " Chin up and don't look intimidated" He prepared me before stepping out of the limousine. Alex and another guard escorted us to the building where the meeting was held, it was a hotel. I came to realize that the whole hotel was rented out just for this occasion, I walked with my dad strolling into the building and seeing various people wearing different dress codes. "The ones wearing red are the Blood family, we Black widows do not associate ourselves with them and the ones in brown are the Vipers, we do associate with them but only when it is necessary" my father explained as we passed various groups. We went to a large group of people wearing all black, and I could see some familiar faces amongst the crowd.

" Ladies and Gentlemen you may take your seats where your superiors are seated" a woman spoke through a microphone, then my dad and I went to a large table that was located in the middle of the room. We were the most powerful Mafia in NY so it made sense that we got to sit first, as we took our seats I saw someone join us. He sat across from me and my heart skipped a beat, it was Austin. I looked at him with a surprised expression however he did not acknowledge my presence. The rest of the house sat at their tables and the meeting began, everything on the agenda was covered until it was recess. Austin immediately got up from his seat and left without saying a word, "Dad who was that guy?" I gently pulled my father's hand getting his attention. " Oh, that was Austin Russo... He's actually the one who is going to be co-helping you with the business" he explained. " Oh" I felt my stomach drop.
