Chapter 22 - Chapter 4

After the intense meeting, tensions escalated as Vance confronted Emanuel and Liliana outside. "We need to talk, Emanuel," Vance said firmly, catching Emanuel off guard. Emanuel, assuming it was another attempt by Vance to win Liliana back, responded with a defensive tone, "I don't need to listen to your pathetic excuses."

However, Vance's next words took Emanuel by surprise. "It's about her," Vance stated, his voice carrying a sense of urgency. Emanuel's expression changed from annoyance to worry as he realized that this conversation held a significance beyond their personal conflicts. He quickly opened the car door for Liliana, signaling for her to wait inside the car.

As Liliana observed Vance and Emanuel engage in their conversation, she could sense the weight of importance in the air. Vance's gaze kept drifting towards her while he spoke to Emanuel, intensifying the already charged atmosphere. Liliana's heart fluttered with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, understanding that whatever Vance was sharing with Emanuel held great significance.

Emanuel's expression grew more serious as Vance continued to speak, and his eyes occasionally flickered towards Liliana, mirroring her own curiosity and concern. She could tell that whatever Vance was revealing was deeply impactful, and it had the potential to alter the course of their lives.

Sitting in the car, Liliana anxiously awaited the conclusion of their conversation. The intense stares from both men only heightened her anticipation, and she knew that whatever they were discussing was crucial and would undoubtedly shape their future. As she watched them, she braced herself for the revelations that were about to unfold, prepared to face the consequences and challenges.

As Emanuel walked away from Vance towards the car, he opened the door and immediately turned to Liliana with a sense of urgency. Without wasting a moment, he asked, "Liliana, is your last name Suarez?" Liliana's expression turned worried as she responded, "My father changed my last name to Ruiz. How do you know about the Suarez last name, Emanuel?"

Emanuel's eyes held a mix of curiosity and realization as he continued, "Is your father Mateo del Suarez?" Liliana's curiosity peaked as she replied, "Yes, he is my father." Emanuel took a deep breath before revealing a startling truth, "He was the Boss of all the Mafia bosses, which makes you the heir to his title."

Liliana's eyes widened in shock as she absorbed the weight of this revelation. The knowledge that her father held such a powerful position in the underworld and that she now inherited that title left her speechless. She struggled to comprehend the implications of this newfound information.

Confused by the situation, she questioned Emanuel, "Wait, aren't you the boss of everyone?" Emanuel nodded and explained, "Yes, but discovering this information, baby, means that you are the Queen of all Mafia bosses."

The realization of her new title and the responsibilities that came with it left Liliana in awe. She had been thrust into a world of power and influence that she hadn't anticipated. Emanuel assured her, "I will gather all the necessary paperwork regarding your father's inheritance and make sure you receive it." Liliana agreed, but the news had left her in a state of shock and disbelief.

As they sat in the car, the weight of Liliana's new title and the legacy she now carried settled upon her shoulders. She knew that her life had taken an unexpected turn, and she would have to navigate through the complexities of the underworld with courage and determination.
