Colleen Wheeler was a young girl who was plagued by the devil at a young age. When she was thirteen years old, she had watched her parents get shot and killed in front of her. She was sent to an orphanage after their death, her relatives completely oblivious to her existence, due to secrets her parents kept. After six months of being there, Colleen packs up and escapes. Now in the pouring rain, she was curled up under an old awning in an ally. When a man approaches her, she pulls out her pocket knife, ready to kill him if he showed any interest in harming her. The man knows she's special, and he takes her in as his new adopted daughter. He started to train her to become one of the best Mafia assassins in the USA. She grew from a cute, sweet girl into a coldhearted young woman. She has to keep her feelings locked away, or she could fail her missions. She'd kill an innocent person, if her new father commanded it. It's only when she's sent to kill a boy her age that she realizes that her feelings get in the way. Instead of her killing him, he captures her and recruits her to work for the FBI, a completely different place and way of getting the bad guys. Will this boy be able to tear down her walls and bring back the old Colleen Wheeler? Or will she stay as the icy, deadly Colleen Maddox she's become?

An opportunity will arise in which these two will have to work as a team for an unimaginable amount of money that can bring the biggest of enemies, together. Her name is- "Why am I here, Santino?" I asked him before taking a sip of my double espresso. He chuckled softly "You'll see." "I don't like that stupid chuckle you carry around, it means you're plotting-" I ran out of words when I saw the woman hopping off an SUV. "What the fuck is she doing here?" I shot a glare at Santino. "I have a job for the two of you," he said as he stood up. "No," I stood up and she stopped in front of the table where we were sitting. "I'm not working with this snake," I pointed at her. "Hi, Ilya." ------ This book can stand on its own but I would recommend you to read Mrs. Mafia and Code Name: Athena, first. 🚨 mature content!

I could smell his intoxicating cologne, and I had to hold back every bone in my body that told me to jump him. I'd really done it now. I had pissed off the underboss, and I wasn't even officially hired yet. ***** Amelia Monet had built an empire for herself. To be fair, there was never a shortage of jobs for an assassin.

I don't want to upset anyone. This is the warning to potential triggers of murder, suicide, abuse, and adult themes.
