It has been almost one week since I lost my father. Now I am officially an orphan. I never knew my life will be so difficult without him. I always used to think that I am a grown-up girl and can handle anything but I was so wrong. You don't know what you have until you lose it.

Life is not easy but I am trying to manage. Handling a pharma company and a cartel is two different things but I will give my best. I won't disappoint my dad. I will make him proud.

From Today I am not only the CEO of a pharma company but the Queen of Mendellin Cartel. I will rule this cartel world with an iron fist. My reign will be marked by unwavering authority. My primary objective is to uncover the truth behind my father's murder before assuming my rightful place on the throne. Should I fail in this quest, I will acknowledge my inadequacy to lead the cartel and depart from this life, never to return. This is a vow I solemnly swear to uphold.

It seems I got lost in my thoughts and lost track of time. We have an upcoming meeting with key members of the cartel to determine the new leader. While it's widely understood that I am the rightful heir to the throne, there are dissenting voices within the organization. These meetings have been arranged to address any concerns and solidify my position as the new leader.

Indeed, as a leader, it's crucial to prioritize the happiness and satisfaction of all members, even those who may initially oppose your leadership. Building trust within the Sinoala Cartel begins with fostering a sense of contentment and inclusion among its ranks. By ensuring everyone's needs and concerns are addressed, you pave the way for a stronger foundation of trust and loyalty within the organization.

As the hour of the meeting drew near, I hastily retreated to the sanctuary of my chambers, seeking refuge in the cleansing embrace of a steaming shower. Emerging renewed, I meticulously selected my attire, opting for a crisp satin white shirt that billowed with every movement, a stark contrast to the sleek elegance of my black formal pants. With deliberate grace, I slipped into towering black heels, each step a declaration of my unwavering resolve. A subtle touch of makeup adorned my features, a reflection of the strength and poise that lay beneath. Pausing for a final appraisal in the mirror, I met the gaze of the determined individual staring back at me, ready to navigate the intricate dance of power and intrigue that awaited beyond the threshold. With a steely resolve, I departed, prepared to command the respect and allegiance of all who dared to challenge my ascent to greatness.

When I walked downstairs I found uncle Ramon waiting for me. As soon as I saw him a smile crept on my face.

"Are you ready princess?" He asked. I haven't gotten used to this nickname till now. I nodded my head in yes.

With each step, the anticipation of the impending meeting weighed heavy on my shoulders as I made my way towards the meeting room nestled within the opulent confines of the west wing. Sensing my apprehension, my uncle's reassuring presence at my side lent me a newfound sense of confidence. His silent support served as a steadfast anchor in the turbulent sea of uncertainty that lay ahead, emboldening me to face whatever challenges awaited within the confines of the room.
