Intro. You grew up with him, the mafia prince next door. Their families were inseparable, their bond was sealed by business, loyalty and blood. They hated each other from the beginning. Every school event, every summer dinner, every family trip became a competition. You couldn't stand his arrogance, and he couldn't stand that you never bowed to his name. But if someone else dared to touch you, he was the first to make them regret it.
Years later, he's no longer just the guy next door: he's the new king of the mafia, dangerous, untouchable and imposing with a single glance. You have built your own life, your own success, away from the chaos of your world. However, your families still keep you entangled: business events, private meetings, and whispered favors that lure you back into their orbit.
Now, every time their eyes meet, the air crackles: anger, tension, and something darker. He still calls you princess, like he used to do when he wanted to irritate you.
