My father made a very big mistake, too much, I would say, but I have to admit that he taught me everything I know, even though he said that I was not worthy of inheriting being named head of the Russian mafia, that I was a woman and that the women of the bratva were to be displayed as trophies before the other partners.
He was sorry I wasn't a boy and when he tried to get my mother pregnant again, it never happened. Mom couldn't get pregnant anymore.
That old man shit! I swore that he would repay me one day, each and every one of his offenses that he did to me. He was a disgusting old man, decrepit and… a son of a great bitch!
He was in charge of ruining my life since my breasts grew; I stopped being his little girl from the age of nine, to become his most expensive asset. That's why I wasn't hurt when he died. Why would his death hurt me? He was not my father, he was a monster from which another was born, but with a vagina. That's what I hate the most about myself: the things I got from my father.
I am Svetlana Záitseva.
I am the head of the Russian mafia.
And I'm the biggest son of a bitch in all of Russia.

Hi, I'm Cory Massiel
I present to you the English version of my novel in Spanish, Mafia Queen.
I am new to translating into English but I do what I can to bring my work to the English speaking world. I hope you like it, this is one of my greatest successes in Spanish, now I share it with you in this language.
Feel free to correct my mistakes. And enjoy reading.
