Chapter five

Ambers pov 

The man in the white suit stayed in the car as I got dressed to go out for a run.

He came out and asked "madam should I call a personal trainer for you?

I replied I am only going for a run".

You can't madam".

"Watch me"

"Okay I am coming with you "

"No you are not"

Okay".

As I began to jog ,the man in the white suit entered the limo and followed me at a distance,

I was not disturbed as I went round before going to the training centre as I usually do.

Today was different as I trained thoughts and possibilities crept into my mind of how to use this opportunity I had refused.

Since I can be out then i have to be in deep it is a good idea ,and it would be better to work from the shadows too.

Yes I will have the guy in the white suit seat in my chair he'd have to relate everything each time he attends any family related business .

After I left the training centre I spotted the limo a fair distance away.

As I was trying to open my door a voice came from behind startling me

"You train too hard these days"

I did not notice him as he walked close , I turned and there Mike stood.

"Oh mike you startled me.

"I was waiting for a lift' he said curtly.

"Okay get in " I motioned .

Mike was quiet today so I drove without uttering a word 

After dropping him off I called the guy in the white suit and asked his name

He ans

wered Philip and then I told him what I had decided and he told me to tell my grandpa first and that he will do my it if grandpa agreed.

I told him to take me to him tomorrow and he agreed.

Madam should I bring the documents for you to go through them.

"Yes please Philip".

The next day I went with Philip to see grandpa and we discussed it,

He did not object ,but specified that all Philip would do was carry out my instructions and what ever he said would be treated as my words so I should be careful.

Later he had a word with Philip and they discussed about it for some time while I checked out the suite he lived in.

It was so exotic I was contemplating on using the credit card I had received ,but I have to be careful and keep a low profile I reminded myself for my plans to work.

It went as planned Philip became my eyes and ears in the underworld while I lived my life as normal as possible.

But still I was to handle disloyal underlings personally and also those who crossed the family in New Y

ork.

Tho Philip and the others did the torturing, I was always present to watch no matter how repulsive it was, i watched.

The family business was beginning to acclimate to my life ,it was just like any cooperate business but the approach was the same.

I got to know Antonio was a business partner of ours for years.

He owns a lot of casinos and night clubs and also a few white collar structures too

I guess that's how he laundered his money, all other families do too 

But he has more power in New York than any family  or organisation.

So he was not to be crossed .

Tho little was said of Antonio  and other heads of family

My dad was one and my grand father was pulled out of retirement when he was murdered.

I learnt a lot really fast and well as Philip was very informative.

I still went to training as usual and Antonio was still as cold as ever.

But still gives me butterflies" oh dear ".

He never found out about my new identity as Philip  posed in my stance

In all negotiations and grandpa never threw a dinner for my inauguration as his heir

But word was passed around that a new heir has been chosen.

I flew Carl out of New York to a boarding school in England, he had protested but I thought it best and uncle Dante had agreed to it.

Even tho it was also hard for us but his safety was paramount, and I won't be myself if I lol at him too.

It would be a short time thing because he is almost done with high school .

I and Philip researched the school before allowing him to school there,they had good security and taught well,the fees was high but my new credit cards was amazing I can't even say how much was in it as I just gave Philip the order and boom.

Life became easy as I slowly got addicted to the power I wielded but never misused it.

Philip was always around and he adviced wisely and my reputation grew in new York.

Also grandfather called for a party but I did not attend.

I spent my time at home and and studied the deeds and the files Philip had brought for me.

I was getting good at this as I learnt the names of all the dons in New York and where their territory began and ended.

The whole city was going to become mine and I will own it all and that will be the best way to get my fathers killers.

As I thought to my self my and sighed resting my back on the bead stand I took a scoop of my ice cream and smiled.

And later when party was over Philip called to inform me of it, and all the little details I need to know.

Then tomorrow morning I will be properly briefed it was how he passed information.

After we finished talking I I cleared all the books from my bed and tidied it up ,I carefully put the ice cream back to the fridge and went to put off the lights off.

And slept off knowing I was in charge.
