Chapter 37

Lilianna's POV

After my father and Sillas left forever. Now I have to prepare myself to join the big mafia group that my father has been offering me. Since he was still alive, I have always been identified as the future regeneration of his group. Sure enough, it was my turn to take my father's power into my own hands without anyone dictating anymore. My father is gone now, and so is my brother, too. So now the responsibility is really on my shoulders. I had to take it upon myself and start taking responsibility for everything. Try and try to continue with confidence even though you don't have sufficient background experience, even if I am still completely raw.

But by learning from experience after experience that happened in my life. Then I will be able to overcome all the problems in the mafia world later. Although I really find it difficult to get started. But if I don't start then all my father's business will be in vain. Businesses that have been built for a long time will go bankrupt drastically with nothing left. I can't live in squalor. Moreover, since birth I have been treated to and pampered by material things resulting from my father's hard work. Even though in fact my father earned his income from haram businesses. But if I stop here then I will be very adrift and have difficulty moving at first and will feel very stuttering in living life. So I think I have to insist on continuing with great force.

Today is the day when I gather many of my late father's colleagues and subordinates. Everyone was present without exception. Here I started to act as a speaker who seemed skilled at leading meetings. In theory, it might not be too difficult, but in practice in the field I still stare at the moon from a distance.

"Okay, thank you for coming to this meeting. I am Lilianna, the daughter of boss Alessio, who deliberately invited all my colleagues to attend to provide information regarding the continuation of this business which has been running for a long time. I hope all my colleagues will not mind if I attend. suddenly in this group. Because I have to immediately make a decision and take over my father's position as the sole heir. Is there anyone who has objections or perhaps any suggestions?"

"Yes, we can only accept what happened according to reality, Miss Lilianna."

"Yes, that's true, we can't refuse or object because everything is going according to procedures that are clearly stated in authentic matters. That in the heir's rights clearly refers to you as the sole heir of boss Alessio's business."

"Okay, if everyone agrees, doesn't anyone else want to have an opinion?"

"No Miss, we think everything is clear and more than enough."

"Yes, thank you, then I will immediately make plans regarding the future of the business. As for several related matters that I need, I will immediately provide further information. That's enough for this meeting. Apart from that, I hope there will be no rumors. behind. Because I have opened a forum to voice the opinions of everyone present here."

After completing a meeting with the ranks of his late father's mafia group. I immediately continued my other activities. I thought that meeting Matteo and Callum was the next thing I would do. So I immediately went to Matteo's house to meet Matteo and his child.

Before I finally decided to go to Matteo's house. I had heard some rumors that weren't good. I feel like someone wants to throw me away from this mafia group. There was a lot of conflict. To the point that I heard a conversation between them that I accidentally overheard and they didn't know I was there.

"Hey, do you guys agree with Lilianna being our new boss?"

"I don't!"

"Me, too!"

"Yes, I think that a woman is not very capable of being the leader of a large mafia group like ours."

"So what should we do now other than follow Lilianna's lead?"

"Carrying out covert rebellion."

"Yes, I agree."

"Great idea."

"I will also take the stand."

"Didn't you look consolidated earlier?"

"Ah no, that's just acting. How could I want to be led by a weak woman who is also just a little kid."

I heard it very clearly. They appear unwilling to be led by a woman. It seems like they are proud or maybe they are losing their competition and there is a hidden enemy behind that. But from here I began to understand that the mafia world is full of hypocrisy and it is very dangerous to trust people's responses too much. I have to start anticipating and guarding myself from being touched by cunning evil hands.

I immediately went to Matteo and asked for his opinion about all this. When I arrived at Matteo's house, I found Callum being looked after by Shopie and asked him to leave the house area. Now there is only Matteo in his office. I approached him without hesitation.

"Hey Matteo, what are you doing? Maybe my coming is bothering you?"

"Eh Lilianna you've come, um... no! No! Your presence here doesn't bother me at all."

"Thank goodness then, because there is something I want to tell you."

"What is it? Come on and tell me right away! I'm ready to hear it."

"You already know that I took over my father's power in the mafia group, right?"

"Um, oh yeah?"

"Don't pretend you don't know about that!"

"Erm... Just do it!" He said briefly as if he had heard my story even though I hadn't had time to say anything more than that.

"Besides, I already know who made bad comments and was a provocateur in your group."

"Huh, how do you know? Where were you among us earlier?"

Matteo smiled faintly.

"I've taken care of everything, you just have to wait for your subordinates' next report."

"What do you mean?"

A call came into my cell phone.

"That's it! Pick it up!"

"Huh?" I was wide-eyed and had difficulty understanding the strange situation that was happening right now.

"Miss Lilianna, I have bad news."

"Huh, what?"

"The two most influential people in our business have just passed away. The most loyal people and trusted people of your late father, Miss."

"Why? Why did he suddenly die? What actually happened? Tell me quickly!"

"Someone shot him in the back when we were hanging out at a coffee place after that meeting."
