The Empress: Geliefd en gevreesd (Young & Awesome)

The chemistry is so palpable but layered with hostility—I'm curious what inspired the balance between their antagonism and attraction.

The constant closeness made every interaction feel charged, but I wonder if that was a deliberate choice to escalate the stakes.

The world-building felt immersive and gritty—I’d love to know if the author drew from real mafia stories or crafted it entirely from imagination.
