When deportation becomes a death sentence...

Clara lives a happy normal simple life. Until she doesn't. For it depended on a little piece of plastic called green card, which she lacks. It hadn't been a problem, but now it's absence represents a life threat, she's been deported back to Mexico, where an angry ex-husband awaits for revenge. 

A story that involves a coyote, a cop, a drug cartel and a daily life hero... just another day on the Mexican border.

Inspired by the article "When deportation becomes a death sentence" by Sarah Stillman in the January 15, 2018 issue of The New Yorker, and the idea of writing a story in two tweets, that later became the first chapter.

CURRENTLY EDITING With that, I walk away from the guys and head towards wherever the bathroom is. As I walk down the hall, someone bumps into me causing me to take a step back. "I'm so sorry, oh it's the birthday girl, happy birthday," she apologizes. "Umm, it's okay and thank you-" "Davina. Davina Fiore, I'm Ava's friend," she responds. "Oh I had no idea Ava was here," I say. "Yeah she's over in the kitchen drowning her sorrows in alcohol." I give her a confused look and then she explains, "because you're with Damian. I mean, I would be doing the same thing too, but it is my first night back in town." "You know Damian?" I ask totally ignoring the 'drowning in sorrows' part. "More than you think," she smirks before walking into the crowd. -------------------------- ~ Elle Winters moves to Canada with her parents after her father gets a job promotion.

(Original Version) My cousin and I are the only true bloods left in the Thanos Family. I'm eighteen now and my absent father decided to finally take responsibility of having another child. Moving from New York to California wasn't the hard part. The hard part was trying to find the ones who murdered my mother and my grandparents, pretending to be a normal high schooler, and along with that, fighting my feelings for one of my brother's best friends. Didn't I mention that I am also going to be the new Don of our West Coast Empire? I am Gaiana Kallisto Thanos, Mafia Princess, and the best fucking fighter there is. This is book one of the Mafia Duet. WARNING: 18+ Mature scenes and language. _________________________________________ EXCERPT: "I only give respect to those who deserve it, and the only one in this room that deserves it is Alex. Plus you can't call me a slut when you are the one who loves to constantly have her bed warmed with partners. I'm the one in a stable relationship." She gave a smirk. "You sure about that," she asked. She took her phone out and showed me a photo of Luca dressed in what he wore today, escorting Stephany into the passenger seat of his car. I felt my heart drop to my stomach but didn't outwardly show it. Years of being able to turn off my emotions come in handy. "Well there goes that." I looked into her eyes. "What? Did you expect me to drop to the floor and cry? Honey, you don't know me. And you never will because I'm moving out." I looked at my father and said, "It was nice meeting you but I'm good. I'll pack my stuff and be out by tonight." _________________________________________ Start: March 30, 2018 End: August 31, 2018 Copyrighted 2018
