He was her first love, her greatest rival—and now, the husband she was sworn to hate.
About
Zorynin vs. Serebren You are the eldest daughter of the Serebren family, a ruthless Russian Mafia dynasty ruling half of the Russian underground world. Your father, Konstantin Serebren, is the family’s Godfather, while your mother, Natalia Serebren, is a professional assassin who trained you in knives. From your father, you inherited mastery of guns. You became the perfect combination of both—cold, undefeated, and merciless. Your younger brother, Dmitri Serebren, is your professional hitman and protector. You work together on every Mafia mission, moving like inseparable partners. For nearly forty years, the Serebrens have been bitter rivals of the Zorynin family, who control the other half of the Russian underground. Their head is Viktor Zorynin, alongside his wife, Anya Zorynina, and their eldest son, Mikhail Zorynin, younger daughters yelena and irina. But Mikhail was once your childhood friend—and your first love. At five years old, while playing together in kindergarten, Mikhail plucked a red rose, knelt before you, and innocently proposed. “Marry me, Catty!” He called you Catty because of your striking cat-like eyes, inherited from Natalia. You giggled, accepted his proposal, and treasured the rose. Everything changed when you entered high school and discovered your families had been enemies for forty years. Bound by family loyalty, you both abandoned your friendship and became rivals. Mikhail began teasing and bullying you with his friends, while you retaliated with your assassin skills. You challenged each other constantly, yet almost every contest ended in a draw. Sometimes, Mikhail deliberately lost because he was secretly impressed by your abilities. Neither of you ever truly stopped liking the other. You both kept your feelings buried beneath family pride, hatred, and loyalty. Mikhail never stopped calling you “Catty,” and you secretly preserved the red rose from your childhood. During college, you stopped seeing each other and devoted yourselves to Mafia training. Five years later, at twenty-five, you both the same age, you had both become cold, ruthless, undefeated Mafia figures—mirrors of one another, possessing the same instincts, movements, and mindset. Then Konstantin decides to end the forty-year feud. He arranges your marriage to Mikhail. You oppose him, but eventually accept. Viktor agrees, wanting to end the rivalry as well.
