It’s been a couple of weeks since Misha was killed. It’s still hard to believe that he is gone. I danced with him at our wedding the night before he died. Misha was like a third dad to me. He was someone who was always so sweet to me. He treated me like his daughter and he protected me like I was as well. Not having around feels weird. I keep expecting his jolly demeanor to stride into the bake shop and buy a dozen donuts for himself, his driver, and his two bodyguards who were useless against a sniper. Sniper is a dirty move too, but whoever wanted Misha dead made sure it was done quickly. I guess that’s something, but still it hurts that he is gone.

With the alliance struggling to figure out which enemy might be responsible for Misha’s death, I think it’s time to turn to someone who deals with assassinations for a living. Shane Thorne is a good friend of ours and he belongs to a secret society assassins called the Faceless Assassins. I only met Shane a couple of years ago, however,

    A little over a month has passed since my dad was killed. The alliance hasn’t found much other than there might have been some blackmail involved. I’m starting to think the person responsible isn’t someone in the underworld. There are those that live their lives between the legal world and the underworld. Those that play on both sides of the morally grey scale are dangerous because they are very good at fooling people into thinking they have morals when in fact it’s all manipulation. The biggest culprits that enjoy toeing the line between the legal and underworld are those in government, dirty cops and other first responders, and businessmen. Greed is the main fuel that feeds their fire. I’m starting to wonder if my father was hiding something not just from me but also from the alliance. From what we can tell, no one in the underworld ordered the hit. That means it came from outside the underworld and that is a whole other giant to tackle. It’s beyond frustrating that we don’t have m

    I’ve taken Angie out dress shopping. She has a dance at her school that she is excited for. It’s her first dance, and she was asked by one of the guys in her class. She goes to a private school like Leo, Trey, Max, and I did. It used to be an all girl school when mom went to it, but they changed it about ten years after she graduated. Angie is freshly sixteen and totally boy crazy. She has a crush on the boy that asked her, so that makes this dance even more special. Mom was going to come with us, but I think she sensed Angie and I needed some sister time since we’ve barely had any for months.At first, it was the craziness of the wedding and then Misha was killed and Max became my focus, knowing how much he would need his wife. Unfortunately, my time I normally have for my little sister has been cut, so here I am trying to make it up to her. Even if there are times I get unreasonable jealousy at her for being full siblings with Leo when he’s my twin, I love her. I know how much Angie

    My phone vibrating in my pocket distracts me as I attempt to do recon for my mission. Being a hitman is a well paying job, but it’s one that requires your soul and heart to be black. My soul and heart weren’t always black. Like everyone else I started off with a pure heart and soul, however, it didn’t stay pure for very long because when I was 10 my bastard step father decided he would start sexually molesting me. For three years I suffered in silence before Hugh, one of my neighbors, saved me and bought me into the world of the Faceless Assassins.One would think that being bought into a secret society of assassins wouldn't be saving. Hugh bought me into the underworld and into the Faceless Assassins because he was giving me my power back. The power my step father was determined to take from me as he made me feel like I was nothing. The only person who bought me comfort was Rosemond or Rosie as she prefers to be called. She was my saving grace, my peace in the storm, and my friend wh

    I wish calling Shane made me feel better, but it only confirmed my suspicions about Mona. Even worse she might be tied to Misha’s murder, which is not something I expected. I initially wanted Shane to look into Mona. I knew it was me being a little petty. Yet, I did have gut feeling that Mona wasn’t good news and not just because Max used to fuck her. There was her obsession with Max, but it’s clear she doesn’t love Max. I wanted answers as to why Mona was interested in my man, and I got way more than I bargained for. The time has come to loop Max, Trey, and Leo in on what Shane has found out. They are technically the current leaders of the alliance. Max has already officially taken over for his father due to Misha’s untimely death. Trey and Leo haven’t officially taken over, but they are running things while our dad’s hang in the background as a guiding light. All big decisions still have to be ran by my dads and uncle for Leo and Trey at least since they haven’t officially taken ov

    After several hours the guys leave. It’s late, pushing midnight. I should go to sleep, but my mind is spinning in endless circles. We had been holding off on reaching out to Shane to see if he could find information. I think Leo, Trey, and I feel a bit overwhelmed with leading at the moment. When I took over for my dad I never thought it would be because he was murdered for having blackmail on a dirty senator. The plan for years has been for my dad to retire, and slowly take over for him like Leo and Trey are doing for their dads. Instead, it was a chaotic take over filled with grief and anger. That’s when I decided I’m going to go punch the heavy weight bag in my gym. I’m not going to sleep until I burn off some of the anger I’ve built up since finding out some of the pieces to the puzzle that is my father’s murder. I’m angry at him for keeping something that was clearly important for me to know because now I’m in the fucking dark chasing his secrets. I’m angry at myself for everyth

    A couple of weeks have passed since Shane and I informed everyone else of what we know. Leo looped our parents in, so everyone is now on the same page. The information has eased some of the tension, but until Misha is avenged no one will be at peace. Shane is working hard to find the information we need while Max is busy trying to put a fine tooth comb to all of his father’s papers, documents, electronics, contacts, and everything he can to see if he can find the blackmail on Chatworth.Meanwhile I’ve been distracting myself with the bakery and creating a new vegetarian menu for Aunt Sofia’s catering business. The current menu needs some updating, so I’m tossing myself into that and cooking up all kinds of dishes as well as testing new donut flavors. When I’m stressed, I find myself in the kitchen whipping something up. Mom says I’m a lot like her Nonna who adored being in the kitchen and made everything from scratch. Apparently, her Nonna would never buy anything pre-made, not even n

    It took me a couple of weeks but I found some information for Max on his dad’s murder. Chatworth is an idiot for attacking the alliance. I don’t care that he has ties to the legal world. Those like Chatworth who live in both the legal and underworld always end up ruined and usually dead because they mess too hard with those in the underworld. They think they are untouchable especially fucking politicians They believe their positions of power makings the extra untouchable, but no one is never fully untouchable. Chatworth will get his in the end. I have no doubt that Max is already plotting dozens of ways he wants to kill Chatworth. I’m more than sure Toni is plotting her own revenge on Mona for causing all the problems she’s caused Toni. Toni and Mona are natural enemies for more than one reason, and I know Toni. She will be the victor just like Max will be. I enter the casino and head to the private floor where Max’s office is. I know this place all too well. Dale took me here when

    Today is the day for the Senators birthday donuts to be picked up. I have no idea if Mona is going to pick it up or not. However, I do think she will. She will not miss a chance to harass me. She made me her enemy and that was her fault. It’s bad enough she tried to drive a wedge between Max and I, but the fact that she probably had a hand in Misha’s death is what is going to earn her a one way ticket to morg. Shane came through with dirty on Chatworth. Leo, Max, and Trey have been plotting all their movies against Chatworth. It’s only a matter of time before we disgrace Chatworth and force his hand in stepping out of office. Chatworth and his daughter have no idea the fury of revenge that is coming their way. As predicted Mona strides into the bakery wearing some trashy outfit that looks like she came from white trash trailer park show. I get that she is the shameful child because her mom is not Chatworth’s wife, but still for her to dress so trashy makes no sense. I don’t know why

    I’m glad to finally be done with my shift at the diner. These late night shifts kill me, but I work during the day at the daycare my mom now manages. She used to run a babysitting gig in our house when I was younger, but as my mom got older she struggled to keep up with the smaller kids. Inevitably, with her bad back it made sense for her to stop running the babysitting gig. So, she ended up getting a manager position at one of the local daycares. She has so much experience and wisdom to give to the center. I ended up getting a job there when I turned eighteen as well as at the diner. I had to wait until I was eighteen and graduated highschool to get a job so I took two. I have a lot to catch up on since my mom insisted that I wasn’t allowed to work while in highschool. It was supposed to be her way of keeping me focused on school to be an A plus student. Isolating only made things worse for my socially at school, but I was raised to be a good girl and listen to her parents. Now, I’

    There’s the hunter and the prey. I’m the prey that became the hunter. I started off as the prey to my stepfather. I was ten when he started sexually molesting me.There is something unique in losing your childhood innocence too early. It creates this unhinged need to protect your soul. Forget your heart because the trauma inflicted on you destroyed it along with your brain, whose chemistry will be forever changed from the horror you were forced to endure. I was thirteen when I was finally able to escape the perfect cage that was created to keep me nothing more than helpless prey. I was liberated by a neighbor named Dale who took my tales of what my stepfather was doing to me seriously. Unfortunately for me, I was a troublemaker as a kid. My father got locked up in prison when I was three for a cyber crime and by the time I was six, my mom had married my step dad who worked at one of the local factories making good money. My mom was never focused on me. She cared more about her career

    Max and I have been married for a little over five years now. We have two sons who are Irish Twins because they are born less than twelve months apart. After my miscarriage, I was so devastated. Thankfully, I had an amazing support system that came around me. I was so angry at myself because I was focused on getting pregnant because that’s where I thought my issues lied. I was wrong, but thankfully with my mom on top of everything we quickly resolved the issue. When I got pregnant a couple months later with Misha, I was a wreck of emotions from happy to full on anxiety of losing the pregnancy. With careful monitoring from my doctors I carried to thirty eight weeks and gave birth to Misha Anthony and then about when he was about two and half months old I found I was pregnant with our second son Dimitiris Nico. I thought it was a fucking joke when I got pregnant with Dimitris. It was not a joke, and I was very glad to have not only Max to help me, but Nat as well. Nat has turned out to

    It’s been about six months since we officially took Chatworth down. The media ate up his suicide. It was a satisfying victory and with our revenge satiated Toni and I focused on starting our family. We had a good surprise about four months ago. Toni got pregnant with what felt like so easy, considering we were expecting a battle to even get pregnant. Turns out that getting pregnant wasn’t the issue Toni was going to face, but her challenge comes with keeping the pregnancy. In the wake of her miscarriage, I felt fairly helpless to help her, which is why I was thankful for Nat living with us because she help me care for Toni after her procedure. Toni was only nine weeks old, but she needed a procedure to clear out the failed pregnancy. Violetta, Lucy, and Roxy have been helpful with Toni’s recovery. With testing they were able to figure out that Toni needs progesterone supplements during her first trimester minimum possibly the whole pregnancy. At least we have an answer, but even then

    This is a surreal moment in time. Max sent proof of my father’s dead body a mer minutes ago and I’m still staring at the picture with a bag of mixed emotions. Relief is the biggest emotion coursing through me. My whole life my father has forced his control over my life. I’ve never even known what it was like to embrace my own self because I had to bury it deep down to survive. When my father sent me to cozy up to Max, he was supposed to be just a target. A means to end. My father was promising me freedom, but I know now it was all a lie of manipulation. I don’t know the full story behind my father and Misha, but they were friends at some point. Then one day they become more enemies. I’m sure it was my father who did something he shouldn’t have against Misha. The first moment I saw Max, I was attracted to him and it made sex easier. It’s hard to have sex with someone you don’t find attractive. I ended up keeping coconut oil or unscented lube to make myself easily wet so the men I was

    “Good morning, Toni.” Nat greets. We decided to only use our nicknames when we are playing. Except for Max and I because we are married and clearly in a romantic relationship. “Morning, Nat.” I reply, flipping the french toast. “Is that French Toast?” Nat questions with a smile as she walks over to where I’m cooking on my built in skillet that is next to the stove. “It is. You earned it.” I wink at her. I told her last night that her reward for pleasing us like a good girl that I’d make her favorite breakfast. She earned it all right. “Good because I was really hoping I’d wake up to it.” She says as she moves over to make herself a cup of coffee. I giggle at her as Max walks freshly showered from his work out. He strides over to me and kisses me on the lips. “Morning, Princess.” He says breaking our kiss. He glances over at Nat. “Morning, Nat.” “Morning, Czar,” I reply, flipping a couple of pieces that need it. “Morning, Max. So, is today the day you think?” She questions as sh

    It’s been a couple of weeks since Natalia essentially moved in with us. She is staying in one of the spare rooms. Our house has six bedrooms, and while I do want kids, I do not want more than two. Maybe three, but that’s my limit. Of course, all of that depends on how easy it is for me to get pregnant. Although, I’m glad I have the option to even try. As a woman, I’m outraged at what Chatworth did to Natalia. He had no right to take her womb for her. He stole her chance to be a mom and he did it in such a dirty way too. However, Natalia is at peace with the fact that she can’t have children. That doesn’t mean I won’t make sure Chatwroth doesn’t pay for his crime. No one has the right to make that choice for someone else.Natalia picked the room she wanted. I made sure she got a new wardrobe and she was happy to get a new one. Turns out, Natalia isn’t terrible in her taste in clothes, but clearly her father is. She’s also a pretty nice house guest or she might be trying to kiss my ass

    “Alright, Czar, what is going on?” Toni demands when she stops in front of me. “Mona asked me not to kill her, and I realized I can’t be her executioner.” I confess. “Why the fuck not, Max?” Toni aggressively questions, tossing her one hand on her hip. “Do you love her?” “What? No! It’s not like that at all. I promise you, Antonia, you are the only I love. I care about her. I hate to admit it, but I did get to know her a bit over the two years. It just happened naturally in platonic friendship way. That’s the best I can explain it. I hate myself for even saying these words to you, Princess. When I told you she meant nothing before we got married, I meant it. I truly believed it until I was faced with holding her life in my hands. I’m so sorry, I’m sure you feel betrayed and I wouldn’t blame you if you did. However, I promised I’d be honest with you, so that’s what I’m doing.” I honestly explain, hoping we can somehow work past this. Toni’s demeanor softens and the hand that was on

    I can’t believe Mona is between Leo and I as we ride to stash house, and it’s the type that houses drugs. No, we have integration stash houses that we take people to integrate them. Some make it out alive, and others not so much. It’s not surprising Mona went after Toni since she’s looked at Toni as her enemy since day one. Toni is of course well trained in defending herself, it makes sense given who her parents are, but especially her bio dad, Anthony. Those two are some dark horses. Sometimes I think Toni is more morally grey than me and that just only makes her hotter. In all our scheming to take Chatworth down we never really discussed what to do about Mona. In the end she wasn’t the enemy that threatened us the most. She has always been this weird side show on her own. I spent two years fucking her, and while I never developed romantic feelings for her, I hate to say it but I got a soft spot for her. Maybe it’s because I saw the vulnerable side of her that no one else did. Mona
