"If you come any closer I- I" I was stuttering. I didn't know what to say as he was slowly approaching me. "I I what?" He asked mocking me," Alice your weak, just let me help you." ___________________________ Alice Renzo has a pretty weird life. Her mom left her when she was only 7 and it was always hard for her to make any friends ever since. Her father was always there for her though and has taught her along the way on how to protect herself. Until she gets caught up in the world of the mafia.

As the only daughter to one of the most powerful Mafia families, Shay has sought to figure out her own path despite the overbearing pressures from her Family. After a family dispute leads to Shay and her mother to go into hiding, Shay attends Elite academy--her own perfect Hell. With an incredibly awful (or ingenious) disguise, Shay's new identity is going well until Jacob Smith shows out of nowhere. Not only does he seem to know every right button to push, but he also seems to know everything about her. Shay's seemingly normal school life explodes with a new set of problems. Old and new enemies are coming for her and she needs to choose whether she will carry the Ricca name. Goodbye Nerd Disguise, hello old identity, old life, old friends, and new enemies. It's the Family business, where plotting someone's assassination is just part of the daily duty. (Unedited first draft) FYI title may be misleading at first.
