Do you ever wonder what your life will be like when you cross paths with your arch nemesis? Yes? Well buckle up, it’s a wild ride.

Katarina Montenegro is what everyone would simply call spoiled. She was raised with a silver spoon in her mouth and a custom Tiffany’s diamond tiara on her head. She was referred to as The Spanish Princess by everyone who knew of her existence, and she revelled in the nickname. She was young, cunning, and powerful. There was nothing Katarina wanted that she didn’t have. 

On the other hand, Marco DiBiancci was known by everyone as The Emperor Lynx, due to his ability to see through deception as easily as he could breathe. Unlike Katarina, who lived a mainly pampered life, Marco was raised by a strict father who wanted him to be in the front lines of the job since he was fourteen years old. He had spent his years getting his hands dirty and washing them again. He was young, strong, and powerful. There was nothing Marco wanted that he didn’t take for himself. 

The common ground? They were both set to inherit their father’s thrones as King and Queen of their respective organised crime kingdoms. 

The problem? Marco wanted Katarina, or more importantly, he wanted what she was set to lay claim on. Even though the two had never met, Marco was determined to get his hands on her by all means necessary, and that’s how we’re here.

This is how I, Katarina Montenegro, was kidnapped by the Italian mafia.

Kidnapped by the Italian Mafia

"How's the face?" I handed Connor an ice pack wrapped in cloth before taking a seat at the edge of his hospital bed. He was suffering from few broken bones and a bruised face, but ultimately he was going to make a full recovery. "I'm so sorry, Con." 


"Been through worse, it comes with the job." He didn't even flinch when the pack made contact with his swollen eye. "Remember the fight in Cape Verde?" 


"Oh my gosh, I thought you were going to die!" He had nearly gotten his head split in two. "I've never seen Annaliz run so fast for help." 


"That woman can really run in heels." Connor sighed and leaned back into the pillows. "I was almost out of it but her stilettos in that sand didn't slip by me."  


"Amazing." We didn't laugh, but the air felt less tense between us. I knew we'd be okay. "I really am sorry, Connor."
