The Celebration of the New Don of Lucero
That night, the Lucero family's main manor was alive with celebration: music, laughter, and the faint smell of cigars drifting through the air.
The festivities had lasted from day until late night, each hour marking a different occasion.
By day, the Lucero Group looked like any other powerful corporation. Associates gathered to toast the new CEO, shaking hands and exchanging rehearsed compliments.
But when night fell, the real celebration began.
Lucien wasn't just the CEO of a conglomerate, he was Don Lucero, the new head of the family, the man who now bore all its glory, corruption, and blood on his young shoulders.
He was only eighteen.
It should've been the day he celebrated high school graduation, went to prom, and maybe lived a little like a normal teenager.
But Lucien had never known "normal." He'd never attended public or private school; homeschooling was all he'd been allowed.
