"It really is a shame that such a pretty face is about to get so fucked up." I say as I run my finger down his jawline. "Even more so that it was wasted on an asshole like you." I add. "Feel free to sit on it anytime you want, Tesoro." He replies. *** Anastasia Levkin has recently taken the title of Donna of the Russian mafia after her father died.

When Anastasia goes on a mission to infiltrate the Italian mafia, she believes it will be an easy task - get caught, lie her way into the Italian mafia and destroy them. Simple right? Except things don't always go according to plan. When Vincenzo Medici, the Don of the Italian mafia, catches Anastasia in his warehouse, he falls into her trap and accepts her into his mafia.

COMPLETED / UNDERGOING MAJOR EDITING (THIS IS THE ROUGH DRAFT) "The Legacy" All Rights Reserved Copyright © 2015, Juliette Frost ~*~ The ragged crowing of a bird reached my ears, pulling me from my inner turmoil. Looking up, I found a beautiful raven perched on a stop sign a few steps ahead of me, croaking like he was flustered by something. I frowned, my eyebrows drawing together as I took a step closer toward it as if that would help me to understand what had it so spooked. Deciding to just sleep the night off, I was about to turn in the direction I was headed when once again I saw something move. The alley. I know I saw- whatever the hell I saw- coming from in there. "What the-" A large hand clasped my shoulder from the back, a shrill scream escaping my lips at the contact. ~*~ Cover By: Luna Black @_salacious [07/01/2015-01/03/2019]
