Third person's pov

The grand ballroom was filled with all of the mafia leaders and  important assassins. Notorious mafia families like the Bianchis and Leroy's had seats in the front rows and so did some of the  esteemed Greek mafia members. They all gathered to witness the changing of their world as they entered a new era, with newly appointed mafia leaders. The air was thick with anticipation as the leaders of various mafia factions mingled, their faces a mask of respect and curiosity. Notably absent was the infamous Russian leader, a man shrouded in mystery, whose true identity remained a closely guarded secret. Andrea Luna Galanis's eyes scanned the room, her gaze lingering on the empty chair reserved for the Russian mafia Don,  she had hoped he would show up. A sly smile spread across her lips as she thought that he didn't show out of fear, he knew what was to come if he did Andrea's mind burned with a deep-seated desire for vengeance.

The ceremony began, and the room fell silent as the hosts, the Commission, took the stage. The first announcement was met with applause as Armani Bianchi, Andrea's brother, was declared the new Italian Mafia Don. Allesandro and Isabella Bianchi, beamed with pride, their younger son Alexander, letting out an excited whistle as Armani made his way to the stage.

Next, the Mexican Mafia's new Don, Leonardo Morales, was introduced, followed by the Brazilian Mafia's Donna, Lucia Silva. Andrea Luna Galanis was summoned to the stage, her name echoing through the ballroom as she was officially declared the French and Greek Mafia's new Donna. The room erupted in applause once more, and Andrea's parents exchanged proud glances. But the Commission wasn't finished; after a brief pause, Irish Mafia's Don, Aidan O'Connor was announced and a round of applause followed . Each announcement was met with respectful applause, but all eyes remained fixed on Andrea. Everyone was surprised to see that Andrea had become the leader of the two greatest mafias in the world, they knew what it meant. It hadn't happened in a really long time, people had even forgotten that it was possible, there have been a few people who led two mafias but what set them apart from Andrea was that the two mafias were not the most powerful mafias in the underworld.

The pièce de résistance came when the Commission's leader stepped forward, his voice booming through the ballroom. "Ladies and gentlemen, it is our honor to present to you the one who has earned the respect and admiration of us all. Her achievements are unparalleled, her strength unmatched. Please welcome the new Mafia Queen, Andrea Luna Galanis!"

The room erupted into cheers and applause as Andrea made her way to the stage, her parents' pride palpable. Lucas's eyes shone with unshed tears as he watched his sister take her rightful place.

Later, as the celebrations continued many potential suitors and newly appointed mafia dons asked Andrea for a dance.
Andrea was saved from all of the ruckus by a dear old friend.

"Naega yeogiseo gajyeogalge( I will take it from here, Aiden ," the deep voice said as the man emerged from the crowd. It was none other than Lee Jae-Hwan the Korean mafia don. Andrea couldn't help but smile when she saw that it was him. They both took the stage and started dancing together.

"I have never been more glad to see you, Jae jae. The men here are looking at me like prey. Don't they know I have been recently widowed," Andrea said sarcastically.

" I always hated that name, Sophia gives the worst nicknames for sure and the only reason they are treating you like this is because you are allowing them. When did you become nice, the Andrea I knew would have broken the hand of the first guy who tried to take her hand for a dance." Lee Jae-Hwan said lightening up the mood. Lee Jae-Hwan had helped Andrea take the Greek mafia and get it to the state it is in today and he had been handling the businesses  Andrea had started since she was fifteen at the time she legally could not be the CEO so she was running them on the sidelines.  The Korean mafia has always been a close ally to the Greek mafia.
