♥ Chapter 4 ♥

Caterina Vossini.

My thoughts were interrupted by Bóris' voice.

''Any instructions for tonight, ma'am?

'' Yes, Bóris. I want you to reinforce security at the central nightclub. We have a rat to catch. '' I replied, the coldness in my voice reflecting my determination.

''As you wish, ma'am. ''He replied, picking up the phone to give his orders.

As he spoke, I lost myself in my thoughts again, planning my next move with meticulous precision. Every detail was crucial; there was no room for error. The strength and supremacy of the Vossini family depended on our ability to crush any threat before it had a chance to grow. No obstacle, not even a nosy policeman, would be allowed to interfere in our business.

My name is Catarina Vossini, and I am the ruthless leader of a dynasty of powerful women. In my heart, there is no room for weakness or hesitation. I am prepared to do whatever it takes to protect and strengthen my empire, eliminating any threat with fierce determination. This empire was built with blood and sacrifice, and I will not allow anything or anyone to threaten the legacy I represent. The strength and control of the Vossini family are my purpose and my passion, and I will not rest until I ensure that we continue to reign with a dominant and unbeatable presence.

We arrived at the mansion, an immense stone and glass building that dominated the surrounding landscape. Outside lights illuminated the entrance, revealing meticulously tended gardens and an elaborate fountain in the center of the courtyard. The impeccably dressed security guards lined up along the path, bowing their heads in greeting.

''Welcome back, ma'am,'' they said in unison.

I gave a sideways smile, savoring the feeling of power that this welcome gave me. There was something intoxicating about being feared and respected in this way.

I entered the mansion and was greeted by the housekeeper, a woman in her fifties who was actually a skilled assassin. Her family had served me generation after generation, loyal to the end.

''Do you wish to eat, ma'am?'' She asked, bowing her head in respect.

''No, I'll just take a shower and go out again. I need to catch a busybody who thinks he's too special. '' I replied, my voice firm.

I climbed the stairs towards my room, each step echoing down the grand marble staircase. The interior of the mansion was a mixture of luxury and tradition, with expensive works of art adorning the walls and dark wood furniture that exuded opulence.

My room was a haven of elegance and power. The walls were covered in detailed tapestries, and the furniture was a combination of antique and modern. A huge chandelier hung from the ceiling, casting a soft glow over the room.

I walked to the bathroom, where a marble bathtub was waiting, already filled with hot, fragrant water. As I undressed, I stood in front of the mirror, looking closely at my reflection. My eyes traveled over each scar that marked my skin, reminders of years of arduous training and dangerous missions that risked my life. Each scar told a story of struggle and survival, reinforcing my determination and strength.

My long, straight, and black hair cascaded down my back, contrasting with the paleness of my skin. The scars were evidence of the battles I had faced and the enemies I had defeated to get to where I am today. I sighed, remembering that my mother, Angela Vossini, was still alive. After the heiress of the mafia took over, the former successor had to leave, looking for another place to create a new mafia. Angela was now in another part of the world, extending our family's legacy.

I stepped into the bath, feeling the tension of the day dissipate as the hot water enveloped my body. The heat relaxed my muscles, but my mind remained alert. I needed to be completely focused to deal with the busybody who was threatening our business.

As the hot water flowed over my skin, my thoughts focused on the mission ahead of me. Betrayal would not be tolerated, and I would make sure that everyone knew the price of defying the Vossini family. Our authority was not something to be ignored or defied with impunity.

After an invigorating shower, I got dressed again, starting with a tight blouse and black pants that shaped my figure in an elegant and intimidating way. The weight of the long coat I had put on seemed to envelop my body in an imposing way. Every movement I made with it highlighted the power and sophistication the garment exuded.

My long, straight hair was carefully straightened over my shoulders, and I put on my black high-heeled boots, which added a final touch of authority to my look. Before leaving, I went to the closet, where I took out my gun and put it in the holster at my waist. The feel of the holster against my body was a constant reminder of my preparation and determination.

With the feeling of being fully equipped, I left the room with heavy steps but with relentless grace. The policeman who dares to challenge the Vossini family will feel the weight of his recklessness. No one should dare touch my empire without facing the fury that comes with it. Our mafia is led by powerful and ruthless women, and I'm about to show him what it means to cross the path of those who rule with total dominance. What lies ahead will be a brutal demonstration of the power of the Vossini family.

As I left the mansion, Bóris and Vladimir, my loyal security guards, were waiting for me at the entrance. Bóris immediately bowed in a respectful gesture, while Vladimir maintained a rigid and obedient posture. The look in both their eyes was one of pure devotion and professionalism. Without saying a word, Bóris opened the car door for me, and I got in with an elegant, controlled movement, crossing my legs and adjusting the position of my jacket.

''Let's go to the nightclub,'' I ordered with a cutting coldness. ''We need to eliminate this fucking policeman.

'' Yes, ma'am. '' Bóris and Vladimir replied in unison, with an obedience that made it clear there was no room for questioning.

Vladimir took the driver's seat, started the car and headed towards the nightclub, his driving skills ensuring a fast and efficient drive.

I can't wait to get my hands on this son of a bitch.
