A Family Like This Sharifee Morrison

Eunice or "Mother" as she had come to be known, had built up a reputation in the criminal underworld as one of the city's best guns for hire. Thanks to her success she amassed a small fortune. The only thing missing is having an heir. Then one night all that changed. She found her son Jason, abandoned in a garbage can and Demetrius, a runaway orphan, a couple years later. Most would consider the way Eunice raised her children abusive and psychologically damaging. That may have been true but thanks to her alternative methods, Demetrius and Jason had grown to be even better assassins than she ever was. Now, twenty-eight years later Eunice was able to "retire" and focus on running her club, Talk That, while her sons continued in the family business. Parents try not to play favorites, but Eunice could not help it. Demetrius was by far her favorite son. He took to killing naturally and more importantly, was so easily molded. It also helped that Demetrius was emotionally dead and built a wall around himself to keep it that way. There was a chink in Demetrius' armor though. Camila Santiago. The daughter of one of the city's most well-known and feared crime bosses. The two of them met when they were children and a summer fling quickly blossomed into love. Eunice needed to stop the love affair. It was interfering with his training. So she convinced Camila's father Antonio, to send her away when she and Demetrius were teenagers. Now, twenty-eight years later, Camila was back in the city threatening to take Eunice's son away and tear down all the work she had accomplished over the years. Eunice could not let that happen. An emotional killer was useless to her. It was clear that Camila was a threat and it also clear that she had to be disposed of.
