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.

Cold ako sa mga taong hindi ko kaclose. Hindi naman ako ganito dati eh. Masayahin palangiti. Pero mga hayop sila. Kinuha nila sakin ang mga taong importante sakin. Kaya naging ganito ako. Nagpalakas. Hindi nagpapatalo at hindi sumusuko. Babalik ako. Babalikan ko silang lahat. At ipaparanas ko ang sakit na idinulot nila sa pamilya ko. Papatayin ko silang lahat. Walang makakapigil sakin. At sa oras na may humadlang sa mga plano ko, matitikman nila ang hagupit ko. "Hindi ko hahayaang saktan nila ulit ang mga mahal ko sa buhay. Dahil sa oras na mangyari yun lahat damay '' -Queen Black
