Luciana pov: (17 present time)
I'm in my office doing some paperwork for my shipments for the Mafia, ever since I took over after Stephan died the Mafia has turned around and gained a lot of respect. Not that Stephan wasn't already doing a great job with what he had, but over the last 2 years I have completely gained control over America, eliminating rival gangs and mini mafia start ups that where beginning to become a threat to our territory. Bases are all over the world now, our spies in deep cover into rival mafias and members properly trained, when I took over after many gruelling months of declining operations, I decided to start from scratch. Starting by making a demonstration of the traitors and imbeciles along with any scum among us such as rapists and abusers. This gained the attention of other members as they realised I wasn't going to take any crap, basically killing off a third of my men just to cleanse and restore MY Mafia. I then hired new people, mostly in desperate situations such as any homeless that look promising, and anyone I thought would make a good loyal member to my ranks. They were forever grateful for the new start I gave them rendering them loyal, and happy to get killed to save me. Call it a life dept if you will.
Every Mafia has to have legal businesses to keep the pretences and allegations under wraps, as to the laundering of money, and the best reasons I have for my Mafia being number 1 is the legal businesses I built.
My tech company WASP (weapons, arsenal, security, protection) Is a Fortune 500 tech company to the public and unknown to them a supplier of new technology such as weapons to the military and other mafias and groups, it isn't legal really but due to the government's using the company to supply their armies they can't really do anything if they want to keep being supplied the best. I keep offshore accounts, and my blueprints and prototypes locked away, to keep myself and Mafia and company safe in case anyone went looking. The government believe that they have the best of the best, but who would give their enemy something to destroy them with? Although I wouldn't give any of my best weapons to the government, the best of my tech goes to my Mafia arsenal and some to my allies.
Then I have a high end jewellery and fashion brand called 'The Saint Collection' raking in billions every year, these are part of the reason I am number 1.

My personal phone rang surprising me, picking up I notice the no caller ID confusing me more.
"Hello, who is this?" I asked confused. "Hello is this Luciana Roberts?" A man's voice ran through the phone. "Yes, as I said who is this?" "This is detective Dan Cullen calling on behalf of the fact we have to have you come into the station. We have some unfortunate news."
"Why? What about?" "This isn't really something you say over the phone but you weren't home when we visited, are you sure you can't come in because whether on not I tell you this information now you still have to come in." "I'm at a friends house I'm sorry, I would like to know now over the phone so I know what I'm walking into." I lied. "Alright, unfortunately your adoptive father Paul died as he had got in a car accident early this morning, about 4am, we believe it was due to driving under the influence. Now we need you to come into the station to ask you some questions and discuss your guardianship." "Oh my god....he's dead?" "Yes, I'm sorry for your loss." "I'm on my way, where am I going to go?" "That will all be sorted out at the station."
