Chapter 20 - Queen of the Underworld
One year later.
The global syndicate summit in Geneva brought together the most powerful underworld figures across five continents. The atmosphere in the grand hall was tense, every crime lord and financial titan waiting to see how the new era of the Moretti empire would unfold under its young leader.
The heavy double doors swung open. Sophia Bellini Moretti walked in, wearing an immaculate white-and-black suit, her presence instantly silencing the entire room of hardened criminals and billionaire elites. She didn't need to raise her voice or slam a fist on the table. Her mere presence commanded absolute, unyielding obedience.
She took her seat at the absolute center of the head table, flanked by Rocco Moretti on her right and a loyal guard on her left.

"The global ledger is balanced," Sophia announced, her voice echoing clearly across the vast hall. "The systems are secure. The bloodline is protected. The meeting is adjourned."

The systems had failed, the adults had betrayed them, but an eight-year-old girl from the kitchen trash bin had built an unbreakable empire that would rule the shadows for a century to come.
