Jennifer's POV

The time for the swearing-in drew closer and I was becoming nervous. Why did all my braveness and courage disappear into thin air? I asked myself.

My dad climbed to the podium and began addressing the crowd that had gathered over the couple of hours that went by. My anxiousness started to rise higher and it seems Andres noticed it as he bent sown towards my ear sending words of encouragement.

"Now can we give a warm welcome to my daughter, Miss Jennifer Coasts", dad says and immediately, I see hear hands clapping. Some people stood while some didn't. It didn't surprise me because people can be rude at times.

Andres guided me up to the stage and then I faced my dad and he nodded his head and I faced the crowd.

"We have gathered here tonight to appoint my daughter has the head of this cartel. Getting straight to the point, Miss Jennifer Coasts, do you promise to take good care of this cartel and guard it with your life? Do you promise that you will put the lives of your members first before yours? Do you also promise that nothing and nobody will divide this cartel as long as you shall live"

"Yes, I promise".

"With the power vested in me, I pronounce you the ruler of The Eastern Cartel of México".

And this I it. I become the leader of this mafia group and with that, I hear the sound of hand clapping and group of people chanting my name.

******

After the swearing-in, we had the after party. I felt uneasy for a reason because I felt something that will leave us struck like we got hit by a thunder was about to occur.

I walked around trying to clear my head but the uneasiness kept on growing. I walked went outside the hall on my way nodding my head to the congratulatory messages from the guests.

I turned around and saw 2 suspicious men talking in hushed voices. I then sensed there were up to know good.

I decided to take the big step to approach them. I am not afraid of them but I will want to also take preventive measures. They seemed to have noticed me and then quickly took for their heels. I ran towards them ignoring the fact that I was wearing heals. I had practiced a lot with them so it didn't hurt a bit.

"Stop there or I will shoot", I finally say because I was tired of running.

They suddenly freeze and turned to face me. Fear was evident and it was written all over their face but one of them anted to play with me.

"If we don't, want will you do about it?". He snickered.

I felt my anger rise to the brim as I pulled the trigger and shot the moron close to his leg making him flinch.

"The next one goes through your balls so tell me what the fuck you where doing loping around".

"Please don't kill us, we will tell you everything. Please don't just kill us".

"Well, it depends", I say.

"Now talk!".
