The grand ballroom is a sight to behold, with its high ceilings and crystal chandeliers casting a warm, inviting glow over the assembled guests. The walls are adorned with intricate tapestries and paintings, each one a testament to the wealth and power of those in attendance. The floor is made of polished marble, its surface so smooth and reflective that it seems to shimmer in the light.

At the center of the room is a large dance floor, where couples sway to the music of a live orchestra. The musicians are dressed in formal attire, their instruments gleaming in the light as they play a series of classical pieces that fill the air with a sense of elegance and sophistication

Scattered throughout the room are small groups of people engaged in conversation, their voices rising above the din of the music and the clinking of glasses. These are the movers and shakers of the city, the men and women who hold the strings of power in their hands. There are mafia bosses, their faces hard and unreadable as they survey the room with calculating eyes. There are businessmen, their suits tailored to perfection and their smiles as sharp as their negotiating skills. And there are politicians, their faces carefully crafted masks of charm and charisma, hiding the ambition and ruthlessness that lies beneath.

The air is thick with the scent of expensive perfume and cologne, mingling with the aroma of the gourmet hors d'oeuvres that are being passed around by waiters in crisp white jackets. The food is a work of art, each bite a burst of flavor that tantalizes the taste buds and leaves the guests wanting more.

As the night wears on, the party begins to take on a more lively atmosphere. The music grows louder, and the dance floor becomes more crowded as people let loose and enjoy themselves.

The room falls silent as the old man steps up to the microphone, his weathered face illuminated by the bright stage lights. He clears his throat, his eyes scanning the room as he takes in the sea of expectant faces. With a flourish, he opens the envelope in his hand, and the sound of rustling paper echoes through the room like a gunshot.

The tension in the air is palpable as everyone leans forward, their hearts pounding in their chests as they wait for the old man to speak. They've all been waiting for this moment, the moment when their names will be called and their fates will be sealed. Some of them have been plotting and scheming for months, using every trick in the book to ensure that their names will be the ones on that piece of paper.

But as the old man begins to speak, their hopes are dashed one by one. "So let's start," he says, his voice cracking with age. "For what we are here."

He pauses for a moment, letting the anticipation build, before he continues. "The family that will be taking control of the underworld empire is..."

He pauses again, his eyes scanning the room as he savors the moment. Then, with a triumphant grin, he announces the name of the family that will be taking over.

The room erupts into chaos as the news sinks in. Some of the guests are elated, their faces breaking into wide smiles as they realize that their plans have come to fruition. Others are furious, their faces contorted with rage as they realize that their dreams of power and control have been shattered.

"It's trusovas" The room erupts into applause as the old man announces the name of the Trusova family. The men in his mid-forties rise from his seat, his faces split into triumphant grins as he make his way towards the stage. The elder son, a well-built man with a commanding presence, follows close behind, his eyes scanning the room with a calculating gaze.

As they reach the stage, the head of Trusova steps forward, his hand outstretched to accept the envelope from the old man. He takes it with a nod of thanks, his eyes never leaving the faces of the other guests. 

"Thank you, gentlemen," he says, his voice deep and authoritative. "We accept this honor with humility and gratitude. But let me make one thing clear - we will not tolerate any challenges to our authority. Those who wish to remain in our good graces would do well to remember that."

His words are met with a mixture of cheers and jeers from the crowd, but the he pays them no mind. He knows that he has the support of his family behind him, and that together, they will be unstoppable.

As he steps back from the microphone, the sound of clapping was heard as he turned towards his son, "Let's go, we are done here" he said making his elder son nod.

since Seven years, Trusova family is ruling the underworld empire, and their reign has been one of cold, ruthless efficiency. They have crushed their enemies with an iron fist, eliminating anyone who dared to stand in their way. The drug trade, the weapons trade, and every other illegal activity in the city now falls under their control, and they rule with an unwavering hand.

As the party continues, the Trusova family stands apart from the crowd, their faces impassive and their eyes hard. They have no interest in the frivolities of the mafia world, preferring instead to focus on the business at hand. They are here only to assert their dominance, to remind everyone in the room of who truly holds the power.

As the night wears on, the Trusova family begins to make their way towards the exit, their steps measured and purposeful. They have no need for the empty platitudes and false promises of the mafia world, and they are eager to return to the business of running their empire.

The black car purrs to life as the Trusova family settles into their seats, the elder son sitting beside his father, the head of the family. The atmosphere in the car is tense, the weight of the family's empire hanging heavy in the air.

The father, a man in his late sixties with a face as hard as stone, turns to his son, his eyes boring into Abrol's with an intensity that makes the younger man shift uncomfortably in his seat. "Abrol," he says, his voice low and serious. "I'm getting old. It's time for you to take over the empire."

Abrol nods, his jaw clenched tight with a mixture of anticipation and dread. He has been preparing for this moment for years, training himself to be the ruthless leader that his family needs. But he also knows that with great power comes great responsibility, and he is not sure if he is ready for the burden that awaits him.

The father leans forward, his hand resting on Abrol's knee. "But there's one thing you must do before you can take over," he says, his voice taking on a stern tone. "You must marry. It is the only way to ensure that the family line continues, and that our empire remains strong."

Abrol's fist clenches, his knuckles turning white with the force of his grip. He has never been one for marriage or family, preferring instead to focus on the business at hand. But he knows that he cannot disobey his father, not if he wants to secure his place as the head of the family.

"I understand, Father," he says, his voice tight with barely contained frustration. "I will find a wife, and I will do what needs to be done."

The father nods, a satisfied smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Good," he says, leaning back in his seat. "You have always been my most loyal and capable son. I know that you will lead our family to even greater heights."

Abrol nodded before looking outside the window with the cold look.
