"My wings are broken. My halos cracked. The angels long dead. I'm a lost soul waiting to die out"
(Loving Athena)
After the abrupt and unexpected kidnapping of the Italian mafia princess Athena Armani, how is it evens possible for the Armani men to move on from their loss or for Athena to find her way back to the heart striken bunch?
After Athena was dropped of at a orphanage by the Greek mafia, her compationless kidnappers, she was soon adopted by David Michaelson, a prominently know business owner to a well renowned self defense training centre to the legal world, but in reality he is the leader to an all American gang who just so happen to take a interest in the missing Armani herslef.
She lives with her so called 'dad' facing the harsh daily abuse that came along with being his acclaimed daughter.
Until everything changes with one simple sentence that held so much meaning nobody could evens begin to realize its extent.
He was dead. She was free.
To many it didn't mean anything and wouldn't effect them, but that one seemingly insignificant loss would lead to her whole life taking a unexpected surreal turn, leaving her to believe she could finally escape the unfair clutches that kept her tied down.
That is till she finds out she has a unknown biological family and just so happens to be their long lost Italian princess.
What will happen when a time comes where she has to come face to face with her self destructing demons or comes to a point where she has to reveal her agonizing secrets she tried so hard to hide to save herslef the pain.
Add rivalries, vengful enemies, bitches, a harrowing ex boyfriend, a stone cold father that hid too many secrets and a sinful Sicilian mafia heir, how will Athena simply manage to cope
Or survive

Adriano and Mario have never been able to get along. They hate each other and always have. Maybe once they were supposed to share a sister but as far as all the brothers knew Valentina Moretti Romano died in the same accident that took Alyssa Moretti years ago.
They get a new girl and for once both friend groups could agree on one thing. That she looks like them. And everyone knows the past story of his dad having a baby with his mom.
All they know now is they'll do anything to protect their sister and keep her out of harms way.
But she'll also do the same for them.
