The door opened and in entered DickReady closely followed by Princess. They both took turns speaking for a bit before glancing at each other and then staring at Aegor with puzzled looks. Aegor nodded so the two freshly minted leaders left. His mind was all over the place ever since he woke up this morning but he was able to make out a few words of what they said; "they're ready for you" and "well done". Aegor collected his thoughts and opened the bottom-most drawer of the desk at which he was resting his feet on. He reached in and grabbed a small notebook bound in leather. He turned to the first page and chuckled. He was just a boy then. Aegor then began to flip through the book until he finally reached a blank page. The second to last page. He gathered his thoughts for a moment then put pen to paper.

It's done. I honestly didn't believe I'd ever get the chance to become what I am now. So many points in my time where I thought this is it. This is where my story ends. This is where I fade away. Yet, here I still stand. I pushed through and finally claimed that which I had coveted for so long.

This could very well be my last entry, or it could just be the beginning of a new book. Those that we have lost along the way and those with me now will never comprehend how much of this moment is theirs just as it is mine. I wish I could say more, I wish I could lay it all out but it seems the festivities have begun to call my name.

To whoever finds this, whether it be my family or the one replacing me. Know that I lived this life without a single regret and I hope you do the same. Arrivederci.

Aegor closed the notebook and rose from his chair. The noise outside his office was growing steadily and he knew only he could quell it. "Godfather Aegor" he thought to himself. It didn't exactly roll off the tongue but it had a nice ring to it. He opened his door to hear the roar of his friends and family. Today was a good day.

Today was the day, Nikki happily thought to herself as she woke up. There was going to be a huge celebration at the HQ for her boss, Aegor. From being a Don to Godfather-Chairman of LA. She felt the excitement of the crowd when she finally reached the headquarters. She grinned to herself, feeling grateful and proud that she was able to be in that moment.

She decided to share a few words with him after the celebration and she even brought him a gift, a box of his favourite treats, courtesy of the donut shop she owned. “Congratulations, sir. You worked hard for this, and you deserve it so much. I’ll be by your side no matter what and I’m happy to support you on this new chapter of life you’ve flicked to. I could probably cry tears of joy right now, but... let’s have drinks first.”

Nikki raised her eyebrows and smiled, offering him a drink at the HQ bar.
