As the limo door opened, a hand extended towards Liliana. It was the face of a person she didn't recognize, but he introduced himself as Felix, Emanuel's best friend and bodyguard. Liliana graciously accepted his hand and stepped out of the limo with power and confidence.
Felix, taking on his role as her protector, informed her that she would be making her entrance through the back. He guided her to a designated waiting area, instructing her to remain there until the cue to come out. The cue he mentioned was the announcement of her single, "Introducing Our New Leader, the Daughter of Mateo de Suarez." Felix reassured her that she didn't need to say a word and that people would come to her.
Liliana nodded in agreement, understanding the plan. She trusted Felix's guidance and felt a surge of anticipation as she prepared herself mentally for the momentous entrance that awaited her.
As Liliana made her way down the steps, she felt the weight of everyone's gaze upon her. The room was filled with a mix of silence and tension as people stared at her in disbelief, captivated by her beauty and confidence. The crowd couldn't help but cheer and applaud for their new leader, and Emanuel, waiting at the bottom of the steps, couldn't take his eyes off her.
Amidst the excitement, Liliana noticed Vance with a jealous and sad expression. However, she chose to focus on Emanuel, who showered her with compliments and expressed his gratitude for having her by his side. Together, they made their way towards the VIP room.
But as Liliana entered the room, she couldn't ignore Vance's presence. He sat there, surrounded by girls and indulging in drinks. Vance's actions became bolder as he quickly grabbed one of the girls and made her sit on his lap.
Emanuel, caught up in a conversation, didn't notice Vance's behavior and urged Liliana to go ahead and take a seat. Liliana, now the new head of the mafia, tried her best to maintain her composure as she watched the girls touch and kiss Vance. She knew she had a role to play, and she couldn't let Vance's actions affect her.
Finally, Vance spoke out, dismissing the girls and instructing them to leave. He then turned his attention to Liliana, sitting next to her and addressing her as his queen. He kissed her hand, causing discomfort to rise within her. Fortunately, Emanuel noticed the situation and promptly intervened, saving Liliana from Vance's advances.
Emanuel returned to the stage, ready to make a toast to Liliana, acknowledging her new position and her strength as the leader of their organization. As Emanuel continued to speak kind words about Liliana, the room's attention remained focused on them. He then surprised everyone by declaring that he couldn't wait any longer for her surprise he wanted to do it right then and there, in front of everyone. Handing the microphone to a bodyguard, Emanuel got down on one knee, causing gasps of anticipation to fill the room.
In that moment, Emanuel revealed a stunning ring adorned with diamonds, a symbol of his love and commitment. Overwhelmed with shock and joy, Liliana covered her mouth in disbelief. She had never expected this grand gesture from Emanuel. With tears welling up in her eyes, she managed to utter a heartfelt "yes" in response to his proposal.
Emanuel stood up, beaming with happiness, and pulled Liliana into a tight embrace. Overcome with excitement, he lifted her off the ground and twirled her around, celebrating their engagement. Liliana couldn't believe what had just happened. In an instant, she had gone from being a trusted ally to being engaged to the love of her life.
As Liliana processed the reality of her new engagement, her eyes landed on Vance. In his gaze, she saw a mix of envy, hatred, and an undeniable love that had once existed between them. It was a complicated dynamic that she couldn't ignore. Despite the joy of her engagement, Liliana knew that navigating her relationship with Vance would require caution and careful consideration moving forward.
Liliana and Emanuel danced the night away, their hearts filled with joy and excitement. Amidst the music and laughter, Liliana couldn't help but wonder about her future role in the mafia. She turned to Emanuel and asked, "Does this mean I'm not the mafia boss anymore?"
Emanuel chuckled and pulled her closer, assuring her, "Baby, we are the mafia boss. This engagement doesn't change who you are or the respect you have earned. I didn't ask you to be my wife to take your role away. I asked you because I admire the strength and leadership you possess, just like your father."
Curiosity sparked within Liliana as she heard Emanuel's words. "How do you know my father?" she inquired, her eyes searching for answers.
Emanuel smiled warmly and replied, "Mateo was my father's best friend. They were like brothers, bound by loyalty and trust. Your father was a remarkable man, and I have always admired him. It is an honor to protect you for him."
Hearing those words, Liliana's smile widened, and she felt a deep sense of connection with Emanuel. They continued to dance, embracing their love and the shared legacy that now awaited them as they stepped into a new chapter of their lives together.
