Evolution: The beginning of a new era

New leader

After 10 years

Emerlda grew up to be a beautiful young woman, she was selected to serve in the mansion during the night. Handing over each girl a pair of shoes and new beautiful dresses she said, "Your duty is to satisfy our donors, tonight we shall be dressed in black to commemorate Borstov death. The new leader Master Gustov will be coming in today, be at your best behaviour." Emerlda was aware of her father's tragic death, Borstov was caught in a crossfire between a rival gang in the United States. The Evolution gang was going down in shambles, Gustov spent money recklessly and poorly sacrificed his group members. Within the Evolution group small rebels tried to take over but Luka tried to ensure balance. Diana sold the girls to the Evolution group for money, that night there was going to be a transaction. Emerlda looked at her dress, it was different from the others. Diana leaned in close, "I have waited for years to finally get rid of you, a buyer has already deposited money for you. Remember what I trained you." Emerlda looked directly in her eyes, "Yes Madame Diana." There girls were shown to their exclusive rooms, where they showered with luxurious skin products. Emerlda sneaked out of the mansion and went to pay her respects to Anya's grave, it was covered with roses she had planted. Emerlda placed the doll close to the grave, "You need this more than l do, sleep well sister." The guests started to come in their small numbers, they were gang members of small thugs top businessmen names were available. The girls wore their masks and served wine and cocktails to the guests, Emerlda quickly understood what her purpose was. The guests took girls of their liking in private rooms, Gustov arrived with a bunch of guards, he was looking a mess. Diana paid her respects and offered strong expensive whiskey to him, Gustov flinched when anyone approached him. Diana went to her study room when she offered Gustov a beauty to keep him company. Slayer was keeping guard of Diana's room, Emerlda said, "Madame Diana wants to have a word with me." Slayer opened the door for her, she saw Diana counting a bunch of money. Emerlda looking at the money, "I am quite impressed with what you have achieved." Emerlda locked the door before she moved closer to Diana, reaching inside the drawer to grab her gun Diana was startled it was missing. Emerlda had taken the gun in the morning when she was cleaning, "Weren't my instructions clear enough?" Diana stood from her swivel chair, Emerlda looked at the her with cold eyes, "I follow my orders not from Evolution's slut." Diana wanted to reach for the door when Emerlda grabbed her hair and banged her head on the door "Can you clearly see I am here to kill you dipshit?" Diana reached for her knife, she attacked Emerlda. The fight was bloody and messy, Emerlda got stabbed several times but she kept fighting. Painting from exhaustion Diana crawled over to seize the lose knife on the floor, she was bleeding heavily. Emerlda held her chest wound as she stood up, she kicked Diana on her stomach and took the knife. Emerlda stabbed Diana on both legs, she was looking directly in her eyes, "How can blood of a trash like you be warm?" "What are you going to do after your…small little revenge…" Diana agonising in pain tried to patronize Emerlda. Bursting out in laughter Emerlda replied, "Don't get me wrong, this is not revenge. You were just doing your job and Anya was caught up in it…I need to catch my breath." One after another Emerlda and Diana heard the girls screaming, sitting next to a dying Diana, Emerlda said, "Revenge is for the weak Diana, besides all that you did to me had been started by my mother. I wanted to let some steam off before I go into the world…my body feels sore." Diana died of excessive blood loss, Emerlda looked at her cold corpse and said, "f**k, now I have one more trash to deal with…I need a bath." The door was opened by a girl, her face was filled with snort and tears. She screamed when she saw the dead body of Diana, the girl fainted before Emerlda even uttered a word. Emerlda gathered her last strength, passing by the fainted girl, "I am sure you are good like this." Emerlda went to a room, she took a cold bath blood went down the drain. Emerlda felt her limbs and legs powerless, she walked in the bedroom and saw a man dressed in a black suit holding a cane standing by the window. Emerlda sat on the bed, "I can see you have made it…Uncle Luka."

Luka watched Emerlda as she struggled to treat her wounds with alcohol. Luka offered her a doll, "I brought this doll for you the day madam Isabella died." Emerlda lying on her back replied, "What do you want? Surely you didn't come all the way here to give me a doll you bought ten years ago?" Luka placed the doll on the bed, he sat on a chair facing Diana, "Did you cool off the built up steam? I can see it was rough." Emerlda wrapped a bandage around her waist, she took a shirt and threw it over herself. Groaning in pain Emerlda stood from the bed, "Did you create all this mess Uncle? I hope you brought a cleaning party to clean your s**t up." Luka was responsible for killing the visitors, "It is time for you to come home Emerlda." Emerlda sighed, "Home? I am good here trust me. I heard everything is falling apart since the old man died. Are you here to pick your master up like a loyal dog?" Luka saw the resemblance of Emerlda and her father, walking towards the door Emerlda said, "Don't involve me in your shitty business, aren't you loyal to the Gustov. Take your master off whilst I am being nice." Luka lit his cigar, "You are the only Borstov left, the only heir to the Evolution." With a surprised face Emerlda looked at Luka, "So you killed your master…" "Gustov isn't Borstov's son, you are his only flesh and blood. He has been running from place to place with the help of his mother." Clenching the doorknob in her hands Emerlda replied, "What a shitty turn of events, should l share a penny of my sympathy. If you are done maybe you can clean your trash on your way out." Luka put out his cigar, "Scumbags are crawling out of their shitholes to claim a throne that belong to you. What will you possibly do at a place like this? Don't give me the peaceful life bullshit. More innocent blood will be spilt if you delay any longer to stabilise order. The time has come to show these people you are more than a woman." Emerlda walked back and faced Luka, "Why don't you take over if you care so much about Evolution?" Luka looked in Emerlda's cold eyes, "I have already stepped one foot in my grave. Take this opportunity as the beginning of a new era, with you as the leader." A man entered holding Gustov who was beaten to a pulp, Luka looking at Emerlda said, "What is your answer going to be? Are you willing to see what your parents built falling down to the ground?" "They didn't care about me, they selfishly left me here all alone." Emerlda was furious, "The Empire is yours; its fate is on your shoulders. We are bounded by fate; you had a shitty life growing up now you have a chance to live the life you wanted. You can whatever your heart desire." Emerlda sighed, she faced Borstov and said, "Where is Maria?" With a grin on his face Luka replied, "I have already sent people to look for her, do you want to have a word with her before we dispose of her." Emerlda put on her coat, Gustov looking at Emerlda said, "Are you going to kill me? Evolution is finished, what can a woman like you do? No man will ever bow to a woman." Emerlda grinned as she held Gustov wounded face closer to hers, with her cold eyes starring deep in his blood-stained eyes Emerlda replied, "Would like to go for a ride?" A guard lifted him up, Emerlda starred at the trembling crying girls, "Get a grip of yourself and start cleaning these bodies before they start rotting. Why waste your tears on this trash, the mansion and everything is yours?" A guard wanted to put Gustov inside the car, Emerlda said, "I don't want you to dirty the seats, chain him on the back of the car so that he can have a clear view." Luka looking at her replied, "We need him to tell us where his mother is? he can help us to lure Maria." Emerlda took a deep breathe, "Will you tell me where Maria is?" Gustov spitted on Emerlda's face, his saliva mixed with blood disgusted Emerlda. Emerlda was given a handkerchief by Luka, wiping the dirt on her face she said, "Tie him by the neck." Emerlda entered her car, Gustov kept cursing at her. His screams slowly faded as he was choked to death, Emerlda kept reading her book unmoved by events happening at the back of her car.
