**Chapter 1: Kidnapped by Blackheart (continued)*

Alessia ("Kitten") - 19, fierce beauty

Meets:

Marco "Blackheart" - 25, ruthless Mafia king

**Their Background:**

Alessia's family owes Marco money.

Marco wants payment; Alessia's father skips town.

Marco kidnaps Alessia as collateral.

"Alessia's world shattered as Marco 'Blackheart' Rossi dragged her into his sleek black car.

'Your father's debt, kitten,' he hissed, eyes glinting like ice.

She spat at his feet. 'I won't pay for his mistakes!'

Marco's gaze narrowed. 'You'll pay in full... with your freedom.'

Alessia's heart raced as he handed her to his men, who bound her wrists.

As they sped away from her life, Alessia met Marco's unyielding stare:

'Hate me now, kitten. Soon you'll crave my touch.'

THANK YOU, continuing "Enemies to Lovers Mafia's Kitten"

Marco's words still echoed in Alessia's mind as they arrived at his estate:

"A grand villa with iron gates, surrounded by lush gardens and armed guards.

Alessia's wrists were freed, but Marco's grip on her elbow tightened.

'Welcome to your new home, kitten,' he sneered, leading her inside.

Inside, Alessia saw:

* Marble floors Crystal chandeliers. A stunning woman descending the stairs – Marco's girlfriend?

The woman's eyes narrowed at Alessia:

'Marco, who's this...girl?'

Marco smiled coldly:

'Alessia. My new...guest.'

Alessia's heart burned with defiance:

'Guest? More like captive.'

Marco's girlfriend, Sophia, glared at Alessia:

'She's...quaint,' Sophia spat. 'What's she doing here, Marco?'

Marco shrugged, eyes never leaving Alessia:

'Debt collection, bella. Her father owes me.'

Sophia's gaze narrowed further:

'And you're keeping her...here?'

Marco smiled lazily:

'As collateral. Until her father pays.'

Sophia turned to leave, then spun back:

'Marco, your obsession with debtors is boring. Dispose of her...or give her to Victor.'

Alessia's heart skipped – given to someone worse than Marco?

Marco's expression turned glacial:

'Alessia stays with me.'

Sophia raised an eyebrow:

'Interesting. You're usually indifferent to toys...unless they entertain you.'

Marco's eyes locked onto Alessia's:

'This one already entertains.'

Alessia was escorted to a lavish bedroom with bars on the windows.

Marco appeared in the doorway:

'Dinner will be served downstairs. Join me.'

He turned to leave, then added:

'Don't think of escaping, kitten. Guards patrol every floor.'

Alessia watched him disappear, then began to explore her prison...

Her eyes landed on a piece of paper on the nightstand – a note:

"Trust no one. Escape soon. -J"

Who wrote this?

YAY, continuing "Enemies to Lovers Mafia's Kitten"

While you prepare Wattpad post, I'll write next parts:

Alessia's heart raced holding the mysterious note:

"-J" – who was this secret ally?

She tucked the note under her pillow, hearing footsteps.

Marco stood in her doorway again:

'Dinner's waiting, kitten. Shall I send someone to escort you...or come myself?'

Alessia chose boldly:

'You come. I want to discuss my...captivity terms.'

Marco raised an eyebrow, amused:

'Interesting. I'll collect you in 10 minutes.'

Alessia used that time to:

Put on the red dress Marco's staff left for her – intentionally provocative?

* Practice calm tone for negotiation

Marco returned, eyes widening at her appearance:

'Kitten in red...deadly.'

He offered his arm; Alessia took it, her skin tingling.

They walked to dinner together – Sophia was waiting at the table:
