Chapter 6 - THE TRUE UNDERGROUND QUEEN

"The Billion-Dollar Plot Twist That No One Saw Coming."Six months later.
The high-society pages of the city weren't talking about mafia wars anymore. They were talking about the complete restructuring of the Bellandi empire.
In a private, sunlit garden overlooking the Mediterranean, a massive celebration was underway. It was a christening party for baby Sofia Bellandi.
Nico stood by the veranda, watching Nora laugh as she held their beautiful, dark-haired daughter. Isabella stood beside her, gently adjusting the baby's blanket, completely transformed into a doting grandmother. The Bellandi family had successfully legitimized 90% of their assets, moving into clean tech and global shipping, completely immune to the old underground threats.
Nico walked over, wrapping his arms around Nora's waist from behind, pressing a soft kiss to her neck.
"You look beautiful, Boss," Nico whispered.
Nora turned in his arms, a mischievous smirk on her face. "Boss? I thought you were the head of the family."
"Not anymore," Nico laughed softly, looking down at his daughter. "The board of directors for the new clean-tech conglomerate officially voted today. Since you hold 51% of the shares from the Greco liquidation assets, you literally own me, my love."
Nora smiled, leaning up to kiss him deeply—a kiss filled with the promise of a peaceful, legitimate future they had fought through hell to achieve.
Suddenly, Marco, the former manager of Belladonna who Nora had hired to run her new luxury catering business, walked up to them holding a silver tray with two glasses of sparkling cider.
"Excuse me, Madame Bellandi," Marco said, bowing deeply, his voice trembling with immense respect. "Table One is requesting your presence for a toast."

Nora looked over at the beautifully decorated garden table where her closest friends sat. She looked back at Marco, then down at her perfectly healed, elegant feet in designer heels.
"Tell Table One," Nora said with a brilliant, dazzling laugh, "that the waitress is officially off-duty. But they can leave a tip on the altar."
