Strangely, I have no doubt that she is!

She has all of our strengths and none of our weaknesses—Sure,we’ve made her that way.But it’s more than that. It’s the Lupertazzi blood flowing in her veins.

We’ve successfully taken back all thirty of the businesses that Josh was making collections from.

In the days that follow, something miraculous happens—Business owners in our areas beginapproachingus to have our protection.

That’s unprecedented—but it turns out business owners don’t like people dealing drugs on their turf. They don’t like the element that it attracts.

We even have some apartment building managers offer to pay us to keep their neighborhoods safe.

It’s just like it was in the old days.

Andrea’s father was right all along. Weservethe community. Guy’s like Joshua de Soto destroy it.

I look fondly at Andrea sleeping next to me.

Last night, after dinner, I feasted on Andrea’s delicious pussy for dessert.

Our sex has become more aggressive now that she’s a trained fighter. She takes control a lot more. She’s a lot morephysical.Sex is like another kind of workout for her.

She will rule well and she’s a good leader.

I don’t think there’s anyone she couldn’t take out one on one.

When there’s something to do that she hasn’t done before, she always does it herself—To learn.

I wake her up with a kiss, “Good morning, boss.”

She stretches with a smile on her face, kisses me back with tongue and says, “Call me Donna.” She reaches down, under the covers for my cock—I’m hard instantly.“You know what would be a nice way to start this day?”

My phone rings and I look over at the nightstand—Unknown number.

I put my finger up—One second—and answer, “Yeah?”

“It’s me,” goddamn Joshua de Soto himself, “I need you to call me back right now.” He gives me a number, I memorize it and hang up.

I meet Andrea’s stare, “It’s Josh, I have to call him from a burner.”

She opens the drawer on her side and hands me one, “Put it on speaker.”

I nod and dial.

He answers, “Yeah?

“It’s me. What?”

“Listen, kid, this thing that’s happening here, I need some relief,” he sounds desperate. “The thing with the DEA? She could have handedour whole thingto the feds on a silver platter.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Madonna!You’re a cautious man, aren’t you?”

“Like I said, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Whatever. At least don’t deny that she put Lonnie in the hospital and she’s taking food out of my children’s mouths doing collections that aren’t hers. Are you seriously telling me you’re okay with all of this? Your old man stepping down. A woman boss? A young girl?”He doesn’t even have kids.

Andrea winks at me and gestures a forward motion—She wants me to hear what he has to say.
