It was a very warm night in July, the sky was insanely blue, full of stars and everything seemed to be so peaceful and serene. Lissa was staring at the window, with the pale moonlight lightning her face and giving her green eyes an extraordinary color. Her long, platinum hair transformed her into a goddess with an ethereal beauty that almost no other woman could match. She wore a black mini dress with red high heels that made her even taller and she had a glass of whiskey at her hand. Dimitri and Rose were there too, all of them were at Lissa's office. Behind this closed door was Lissa's famous club called "Princess", it was one of the most prestige clubs and it served well for money laundering.

"Ma'am, he has been taken care of" Dimitri said with a steady voice. He wore black clothes with a duster coat, that he never seemed to leave at home.

"Are you sure?" Lissa asked

"Absolutely, I was there too" Rose answered instead. "He isn't going to bother us anymore"

Lissa took a sip of her whiskey and said with a frozen voice "Good".

Life isn't always fair, they say, and Lissa was quite aware of that. Born in a cold, winter's night, she endured so much pain throughout her life. When she was four years old, her parents died in a car accident, then she was sent away to leave with her uncle. She never liked him, he was a monster that used to abused her and he was involved in all sorts of troubles. Fortunately for her, he died when she was sixteen and she was sent in an orphanage, where she met her best friend Rose. However, when they both turned eighteen, they left this hideous place but the cruelty of this world didn't leave them unharmed. She managed to retrieve some information from her uncle's notes and they both started doing illegal activities, but not only that, Lissa discovered that her uncle had a lot of corrupt money, so she used them to start building her empire. After ten years, she was one of the most notorious women on the underworld, she had many enemies, but there were also hundreds of them who feared her. She didn't earn her nickname, "Vampire" just for nothing, all of them knew how ruthless and unstoppable she was and those who betrayed her would never wake to see daylight again. Initially, she only sold soft drugs but after that, she became more and more greedy and started selling hard drugs. God only knows how many people were sent to their graves because of her. Cops were a problem for her too, she managed to bribe some of them to work for her and leave her alone but there were others that couldn't seem to stop bothering her. Her last victim was a policeman, named Lucas Ozera who started asking a lot of questions and discovering a lot of things that could potentially sent her to prison. Lissa didn't easily give second chances, she felt as if she truly was the master of the universe, taking away people's lives just like that. However, Lissa didn't do the dirty work, she had others for that. One of them was Dimitri, who he was not only her personal guardian, but also the man who pulled the trigger and tortured her victims. Rose was also one of them, even though she was a woman, she was very well trained and extremely clever, so no one could really put up with her. Lissa, rarely made any appearances and most of the times she sent Dimitri and Rose as well as others as her representatives, but she was the brain behind any plan, however in some special cases she didn't omit to appear. She was well aware of the fact that her beauty could fool almost everyone, like these extremely beautiful animals that were deadly and poisonous on the inside. The perfect plan to trap their victims. Every night, her club was full of people having fun and drinking, Lissa earned so much money that she could barely count them.

One morning, she and Rose were laying at their deck chairs near her home's pool. It was a beautiful, sunny day and the girls were enjoying the daylight. Lissa hated the sun, she also loathed summer, because she felt as if she ought to be truly happy, but she loved how luxurious her home was, so she decided to spend some time outdoors watching the crystal, clear water of her pool.

"The last couple of days have gone pretty good. No one bothered us" Rose said.

"I hope after Ozera's murder that police won't harass us anymore. I pay some of them enough money, so I expect certain things of them"

"Oh, dude, that filthy man was a pain in the ass"

Lissa laughed and said "Well, I'm pretty sure he is the Devil's pain now"

Rose laughed too "We also need to talk about your 'gifts'". They used the word "gifts" in order to hide the fact that they were talking about drugs, it was a codename for them, especially when they talked about them on the phone.

"Yeah… What about them? You know what you have to do"

"No, it's not about that. Mark, one of our distributors is acting pretty weird. I think he is hiding something"

"Oh, that bastard! Well, tell Dimitri to look into this and if he finds something, I want you to tell me. I trusted him and I am absolutely appalled when people betray my trust"

Rose smiled "I know".

As it turned out, Mark indeed hid some things, he was about to double cross her, but since Lissa found out, they had him tied up in a chair in a secret basement. Dimitri was standing in front him, slapping and punching him "Don't you know what happens when you dare to betray your ma'am!" After several beatings, Lissa appeared dressed in an expensive blue dress, wearing a huge bracelet with real diamonds. She stood in front of him, with cold eyes, but she said nothing. It was him who spoke first "I'm done getting orders from you."

Lissa gave him a cold smile too and said "You're done anyway. You miserable people, thinking that you could take my place and do what I do. You should know better, Mark, there is a reason why they call me "Vampire". No one dies so easily at my hands"

Mark didn't utter another word, Lissa started to leave, she rarely was present during torturing. "Don't let the Lord take him too soon" She said with an ironic smile to Dimitri, who in return smiled too and went to take the hammer. Lissa turned her back and left this place without looking back.
