Lorraine Rivera Garcia (DoƱa) is a fearless woman with a heart of stone, born into a world where every enemy must fall at her mercy, she remains unstoppable. Even after taking over everything her beloved father left for her, Lorraine thirst for more brings her to the edge where there is no looking back. Sebastian De LeĆ³n ("La MuertĆØ" which means death) is scorned by the maltreatment that rained upon him and his parents three years ago by the Garcia's and most especially DoƱa, returns back to seek revenge. The hunger to be regarded as the top mafia in Esmeralda brings about group clashes, gunfight and assets war. One of them has the upper hand and the other will lose everything. Excerpt Sebastian watched from afar as the woman he saw as sultry and seductive woman takes off her robe and stepped into the warm lake that has been heated by the sun. He imagined himself running his hands through her soft back while sprinkling showers of water from her forehead and watching it slide to her breast. Her long hair was what drawed him to her, as they covered her. His whole hold weakened as he saw as she gracefully washed her skin, her eyes caught his attention as she quickly covered up. "Who are you?" She asked quite rudely for a woman of great poise, though she wasn't wrong to have spoken in that way, the man in question has been staring at her for a while now. Sebastian knew that if he introduced himself as who he was then there might be trouble. "I am just a lowly servant" he gave a short introduction as to who he wasn't. "Mind if I join you?" He asked, already taking off his shirt and loosening his belt. Lorraine was stunned by this man's bravery, she was made to wonder if he knew of her identity and seeing that he doesn't, she believed him to be a stranger who is only passing by, probably at his rest stop before heading to his master's house. "Join me" she heard herself say and Sebastian smiled taking off his trousers, then his his boxers before joining her.
The Garcia mansion is known for many things and one of it is that Demitrio Garcia offers no mercy to the hands of his debtors, his name alone strikes fear to those who went against his wishes, he made them pay in several ways using the art of legitimate business to cover up the dirty and malicious deed of his family, even then no one could stop him.
Demitrio might not be cold hearted afterall, there was always a warm place for his daughter, Lorraine Rivera Garcia, his most priced possession among all the riches he has added up till date. The love Demitrio had for his daughter was the only weakness he had and that he knows that his enemies could use against him, which made him develop fear for her life.
Hiding her away from the world, Demitrio taught his precious daughter that the only way to live in this world was to trample on every of her enemy no matter who they were, he made sure that before he is gone that his daughter shall become the next Don of Esmeralda.
Lorraine followed her beloved father to every hunting trip that her father organised to strengthen and make accurate the aim of his men. At the age of eight, Lorraine had already killed several birds of the sky and to her father was more than ready to kill her first enemy, an enemy that her beloved father made for her.
Bang! The sound made from Lorraine's rifle as she yet again drops an innocent bird from the sky, her father clapped his hands and even his men were impressed.
"Next time dear, shoot two birds with one bullet.... Weldone" he brushed her hair and pat her shoulders. "That's my daughter right there!" Demitrio praised yet again and his men couldn't be in more agreement with him, Lorraine smiled at herself.
Sometimes one can always be satisfied with what's being given and Lorraine was no less one of them. It was true that she enjoyed her father's company and so was his men's but she had always wanted to be around people her age and do things like they did, even behave silly and get spanked for it but her fate wasn't in alignment with what she'd wished for as her father hated to let her off his sight.
Her strong agitation for a live outside the walls of the mansion was soon heard as her father surrendered to her wishes and allowed her attend the only school in Esmeralda with strong security following her to protect her.
Lorraine might've been happy she was getting out of the mansion but she was soon to find out that her beloved father had been right all this while.
Her inability to read and write at that age became a set back for her as most of her classmates insulted and called her dumb for not being able to write her own name, she would pride herself by shouting that she could shoot a gun as if that was the most logical thing to say to children who were belittling her, what was her aim? To scare them? Lorraine should've thought of a better response.
Each time she returned home, she would act like nothing had happened so as not to get her father worked up. Her father knew.
Demitrio believed that experience is the best teacher and if his daughter is hiding what he already knew would happen it's because she is regretting.
Lorraine finally agreed that school wasn't for her and that her life was limited to the mansion alone. Can she be blamed? She was naive and young, even her father wanted it to be that way.
Years grew by fast and the Lorraine of the past was slowly drifting away as a new dawn has started to begin with the rise of her dark side. With no regard or respect to older people, seventeen years old Lorraine had already destroy so many lives that had crossed her path, though she was yet to kill her very first victim.
Demitrio thought he had trained a daughter not knowing he had unleashed the devil in her. Before his final years of his life, Demitrio accompanied his twenty years old daughter to the house of a poor farmer who borrowed a land from Demitrio a year back to harvest and sell the crops he made from it and was to return fifty percent of his earnings as well as the land to Demitrio at the end of the year.
It was indeed a very shady deal but as it were, Thomas GonzĆ lez was very much in need to put food on his family's table as his own land was engulfed in a fire and was illegally seized by the government.
The Garcia's arrived at the doorstep of Thomas on the eve of Christmas, where preparations to celebrate Christmas were already in place, the couple were just about to have a meal but chose to wait for their twenty three years old son, Mathias Gonzalez to return.
There was incessant knock on the door of Thomas. Thinking it was her son who couldn't wait to offer the good news he sought to bring, Thomas's wife quickly rushed to the door with happiness written all over her face, only to be met with men in guns ready to rain blood on them.
Demitrio aggressively dragged on the hair of Thomas wife and threw her to the side of her husband who was already kneeling, pleading with Demitrio that he gives them few days to pay up.
"Do you think I came here to watch you beg?" Demitrio asked, not waiting for a response he quickly cocked his gun and got ready to shoot, he turned to his daughter and for the first time in years, Lorraine had that forgiving eyes she once had before. Angered by this, Demitrio turned the gun to his daughter to shoot, "Shoot them!" He ordered.
"Dad..." She paused realising it wasn't her dad she was speaking to now, it was the Don. She swallowed hard as she took he gun from his hand. Pointing at the direction of the couple.
Meanwhile, during the turbulence, Mathias had returned home but seeing the men and cars lined up at the front of his house, he chose to hide in the bushes and watch from afar from the window what was happening indoors.
Mathias was shocked to see his father and mother at the brink of death with a young girl pointing the gun at them, he didn't know how to react or what to do, he thought of going in but that will just be a stupid move on his part, he knew calling the police was also not an option seeing it was Don Demitrio in the room with them, he just had to wait and watch.
"What's your Judgement?" Demitrio asked his daughter who still had the gun pointed at them.
"Death" Lorraine said fearlessly, she couldn't have shaky words coming out of her mouth or her father would be disappointed. Mathias watched in horror as the young lady offered a death sentence to his parents.
"Go ahead" Demitrio stepped back and waited for his daughter to kill her very first victim. He was starting to get angry at the manner his daughter took her time. "Go ahead!" He once again yield her to, yelling at the very top of his voice.
Dropping all emotions, pity, fear, all that could be thought of that Lorraine would've held, Lorraine wasted no time to shoot at the forehead of Thomas GonzĆ lez making blood shoot out. Thomas's wife fainted as she saw her husband drop dead. Mathias held back his tears as he tried not to let a single sound out of his mouth.
"Take his wife.... I heard he has a son, find him!" Demitrio ordered before touching hisnow heartless daughter who felt nothing after killing the man on the floor. "Do the honors, dear" Demitrio gave an evil grin.
With a straight face Lorraine ordered that the body be burnt in the hearth immediately and that no sloppy move should be made.
"That's my daughter" Demitrio praised, "But before you all do that, I want to first announce that starting today my daughter is the new Dona of Esmeralda" he took out a veil and covered it on lorraine's face, leaving only her cold blooded eyes to the world. "Never you let any man take this off, cause when you do you shall not only lose your status, you shall be seen as a woman.... Promise me you would kill any man who tries to take it off..."
"I promise" Lorraine said, nodding her head.
"Long live La Dona!!!" Demitrio's men chanted.
Though Mathias never saw the woman's face as her back was turned to him all that time, he was well aware that the woman who killed his father and held captive his mother was called, "La Dona" a name that befitted his father murderer. He set out to leave Esmeralda for good and to return when he is very much capable for revenge.
