The Right Mistake

   My clear blue eyes met his glowing green eyes the moment he stepped into sight. Even through the bustling crowd of different people from different places meeting their loved ones, my eyes found his in a heartbeat. He started to push past the mob to get to me. A single tear leaked, equivalent to all the tears I’ve ever let fall. I spun away, vanishing into the flurry of people, leaving him behind.
    My name is Shirley Strode. Foster child. Handed over to my foster parent's brother when I was 7. He taught me to kill in strategic and smart ways when I turned 10. I made my first kill in the mens at a pub in northern Russia when I turned 14. Talk about a killer birthday present. I am now one of the most highly paid assassins compeating with rival organizations. This, is my story. . .
   Tough 19 yr old Shirley Strode packed her bags, guns, and cash to escape to New York City, to get away from her assassin life. She's been trained to kill for the greater good since she was 14. Wanting to timidly let loose, and find friends and hot guys so she can forget her past.
   After a 'quickie' assassantion of a russian mafia leader- (orphan) Shirley Strode's only ever father-figure (Connor) is killed in the middle of it. Blinded with a flurry of emotions, Shirley packs her bags to goto New York. She leaves her teenage assain life behind in hopes of getting a taste of a normal life. She meets new friends and boys. But what will she do when everything she has worked for so hard- can be ruined by her past life. Will her Assain life catch up with her and ruin the come-to-life fantasies she built? And ruin the relationship with the man she loves?

He seemed like the devil. He was evil. Cruel. She was always portrayed as a weapon. A tool. An occasional use. One wrong turn -literally- and everything changes. What happens when she finally decides to stand up for herself? The once known 'shy' assassin is now a runaway killer. Will she be able to protect the people she loves while fighting for her title? That arrogant and dangerous man, Zion Armani, who has a past trailing to hers...They meet again. Forgiveness is a difficult concept. Two broken souls from two different sides. Many failed attempts, many murderous frenzies, and many unretrievable mistakes. Her concept of life is far-fetched compared to others, one of the many things that makes her so human and so real, even if she was taught to refuse it. Could she battle the wars in the underground world while an addicting man fought against her? A chase? Not necessarily. Will she find a reason to keep going? Will Zhara Di Maggio find something --or someone-- to believe in? Will the Golden Raven prove her fate wrong and find her own reason to live? ~~~ Zion Armani, even the darkest hide from his shadows. Zhara Di Maggio, the only brightness left. "You know how to live, you're just too scared to do it."

(45 chapters including bonus chapters. New edited version coming soon!!) (MAFIA HEIR SERIES BOOK 2!!) Antoni Smith-also known as Toni-looks to have a perfect life. From the outside, she's reckless, sarcastic, and bubbly all at once. She does what she wants and doesn't care what other people think of her. On the inside though, she's trapped. From hospital rooms, to dancing on the hot pavement her life has been hell. She deserves happiness. Slight problem, Toni doesn't think so. She made a promise to herself to never let anyone see the darkest parts of her. Her darkest secret, ever. It just never occurred to her that her family may have a twisted secret of their own. The bad boy, the trouble maker, some might even prefer the devil. In this cause though, it's Toni's older brothers best friend. Silas Perkins does what he wants when he wants to. Even from a young age Silas has been dealing with emotional and physical trauma that he has shoved down to a part of him that no can reach. He doesn't believe anyone will ever love him, or that he could possible love anyone. That is until he stumbles upon a small brunette with the same broken look in her eyes as him. So what happens when little miss perfect and the devil get sent to the same rich kid school in New York for a year? What happens when the devil starts making countless promises he can't keep. Or can he? Two broken people trying to fix each other isn't always been the smooth yellow brick road it presumes to be. Although it's not a secret that both of their lives have always been bumpy. ___ "Toni?" He asks and I hum back at him. "What are we doing?" I've been asking myself that since day one. "I don't know, but I kinda like it" I mumble and he just exhales a long breath. "Me too" Are the last words I hear before I'm out cold. (Duel POVS)

Alex Colebert, a 19 year old European boy who crosses paths with Aileeta in Oakham college, England. ************ "Don't be fooled by my beauty and age cold butt or whatever you call yourself" I grin wickedly at him, loving how the fear burns all over his face, I love fear, it boosts my ego. I take slow strides closer to him, he struggles to break loose from the chair he's tied to but it's just a waste of time. I'm now very close to him, my knees brushing his shaky ones. I place one leg on the side of the chair he's seated on and pull out a pistol from my waistband. I look into his hazelnut eyes for his reaction. scared, confused, just the reaction I was dying for. "Holy shit that's a gun" he exclaims "I told you earlier not to be fooled. I'm evil, wicked, I'm the devil, I rob banks, innocent people, I derive joy from people's pain and fear, I get wealth by doing dare devil jobs-" I cut myself in, not wanting to leak too much info. I've said just about enough already. "I still love you " he spat, glaring intently at me. mine widens in shock I quickly mask it over with an emotionless and bored expression. I close up our space once more. "Even if I am ready to blow out your brain? don't you think it's a little too soon for you to use the word "love" ?it's pretty strong!! " I press the gun on his temple, my finger lingering on the trigger. *********

I didn't exactly choose to be stolen at four years old. But the French underworld isn't big on consent. One minute I was Donatella Acardi, Mafia royalty. The next? Just another stolen kid bleeding in someone else's basement. That's where I met Amir. We bonded over near-death experiences and shared trauma. Real cute stuff. Then Demetri found us-trained us, broke us, built us back. We became something the underworld whispered about when they thought no one was listening. Angela Della Morte. Morte Nera. The Angel of Death and the Black Death. It has a ring to it, doesn't it? We're not kids anymore. We're not victims either. And we have one job: burn the French Mafia to the ground. Starting with the Don who ruined everything. But revenge doesn't follow a clean checklist. Especially not when I'm suddenly face-to-face with the family I swore I'd never see again... Yay. Now I'm stuck balancing the ghost of who I was with the assassin I've become... while navigating a castle full of lies, power plays, surveillance systems, olive oil, and one very inconvenient slow-burn romance. The mission? Still on. But if I'm not careful, I might survive the job and still lose what's left of me. And let's be honest-I worked way too hard to become this unkillable. ⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ ~Thank you so much for even taking a glance at this book.

"She was a rogue agent. A master in worshipping her work and herself. But suddenly she disappeared, without any track. Some thought she is dead, some thought she has taken a momentarily break and some thought she was still looking out for a chance to pounce on any other gang. I don't blame them, she had a track record for doing that and she was pretty good at it." Her last kill before she vanished out of this world of war, was one of the biggest group of smugglers. Now, many other groups and rogue agents are trying to track her down for one reason or another, but in that crowd this last group which she tackled down to ashes is also included. Not revenge but something bigger. More than hard feelings, more than just a rage of vengeance. Something to gnaw at for a specific reason. Any guesses why this group is searching for it's biggest enemy? ●●●●● "Why did you refuse...?! "Beacuse...I don't want to lose the people ..I c-care for anymore..!"
