I
𝐈 am a bitch.
No seriously, I am.
My reputation as an assassin was legendary in New York, maybe even in the entire country. But that all changed when I fled the city to escape the bloody aftermath of my father's murder.
I returned to Russia and life was seemingly normal for a few years.
Have you ever felt like you have no control over anything that goes on in your life? Well I have a dark secret. A dark past.
Thats why I evaded the city, in order to give myself the life I felt I deserved. I chose to start over, I figured out the hard way that the only person I could rely on was me. I had to learn to take care of myself at a young age and learn how to fight as well as defend myself.
But it wasn't enough.
I still had unanswered questions about my past and why I lived the life I lived growing up.
Mom used to tell me I didn't choose this life, it chose me.
She also used to say that revenge is the path to self destruction.
Returning back to New York could be a huge mistake, but only time will tell. Everybody knows my name here.
Maybe this is for the better... or for the worst. I guess we'll have to find out...
"Lana, wake up. We have just landed." My best
friend, Tanya whispers. I turn my head and open my eyes, painfully squinting as light swamps my blurred vision.I let out an overly dramatic groan and snatch my bag from the seat besides me, taking a brief glance out of the window whilst doing so.
I hate to say it, but for once in my life, I actually feel nervous for whats to come.
New York was my crown jewel and I'm determined to take it back, no matter what it takes. No matter who I have to cross. It also just so happens to be the last place I saw my family. November sixth. The day my life fell apart.
