Mafia King's Obsession

WILL The sheltered, secret daughter of my arch nemesis sounds like a good pawn on my chessboard, until I meet Catalina Rossi. She is no protected princess. She is a warrior, a fighter with more willpower than her messed up family could ever possess. I hate her. I want to strangle the life out of her every time I see her. And I want her more than I've ever wanted anything in my life. She is my enemy, but I think that will be the best catalyst to the spark between us. CAT I have always deemed myself unlucky but being kidnapped by my father's enemies takes the cake. I don't know these men but I know who they are. They are ruthless, cold, unforgiving beats. They are the De Santi mafia syndicate. And the most ruthless of them all, William De Santi, has his eyes on me. *Dear readers, this is not a fairy tale. It's a dark, intense, steamy, enemies to lovers revenge tale with themes that may upset certain readers such as weapons, gore, mature content and violence, but this does NOT include sexual abuse. I do not condone that.

De Santi commandments: betrayal is punishable by death (2)

CAT 

"Nico, I want to ask you a question." 

The man doesn't look up from the book he's reading. We are sitting on the soft carpet of my room with the tray of chocolate chip cookies that he brought earlier between us, each of us holding a copy of Romeo and Juliet. 

While I already know most of the story from everything people say about the classical book, I have never actually read it and neither has Nico. 

He's too engrossed in the book and only reacts when I lean over and tap his book.

He looks around, confused for a moment, before he looks at me. "Did you say something?" 

I smile. Just like me, he can get so lost in a fictional universe and forget that the rest of the world exists. The only reason I lost focus this time is the question on my mind. 

"Can I ask you something?" 

"Sure." 

I close my copy, keeping my index finger between the pages as a temporary bookmark. "Do you promise to be honest in answering it?"
