Too Late For Regret: The Exiled Mafia Princess

“But the day he took the throne, his first official decree was my absolute ruin. He stripped me of my name and threw me barefoot into a brutal winter storm. The men who used to bow to me ripped my coat from my shoulders. My own aunt rolled up her car window as I dragged my bleeding feet through the slush. His ambitious new queen smiled down at me as the heavy iron gates slammed shut. "If she doesn't survive the night, it will save the syndicate a great deal of trouble." Hunted by my own bloodline, I was forced into hiding, washing dishes in a greasy diner just to survive.

He knew my father was still alive, chained and tortured in a flooded subterranean cell. He heard his screams and chose his gilded crown over my father's life. When his elite enforcers finally kicked down the diner doors to silence me for good, I didn't run. I wiped the grease from my hands, grabbed a blade, and prepared to tear their entire empire to the ground.”
