TW: Violence, power dynamics & gang wars and retaliation

This is a Fem Pov but I will be taking requests for any other Povs.

Igor Vasiliev Montenegro is the youngest son of a transnational mafia dynasty—half Russian, half Colombian, bred in blood and raised in chaos. Igor Vasiliev Montenegro was never supposed to take the reins of his family's empire. But after a mission in Moscow went sideways and triggered a brutal gang war, he became the public face of a private scandal.

To cool the heat and clean the blood off the streets, his father sent him to the one place he still controls with surgical precision: Imperatorskaya Akademiya Vasilieva—the family-owned university posing as an elite academic sanctuary for the global elite.
The message was clear:
“Stay clean. Stay quiet. Stay invisible.”
But Igor has never obeyed orders he didn’t write himself.

He walks the marble halls like a prince in exile—studying law, not to uphold justice, but to sharpen the blade he’ll one day use to destroy it. With ice in his veins and charm in his smirk, he rises quickly through the campus social ranks. Whispers follow him. Professors don’t look him in the eye. Girls fall at his feet, boys want to be him—or fear him. He’s a Montenegro. That’s all anyone needs to know.

Until she walks in.

The university’s wildcard. A scholarship student with no ties to wealth, privilege, or corruption. She’s razor-smart, stubborn to the point of recklessness, and so immune to his charm it infuriates him. She doesn’t just survive at Imperatorskaya—she dominates.

Head cheerleader with a steel backbone

Everyone underestimates her. Until she proves them wrong.

She sees through Igor the moment they meet. Not the flirt. Not the heir. But the threat. The gun behind the gaze. The boy born with blood on his hands. And when a leaked surveillance file from a decades-old Montenegro operation lands in her lap—one that could unravel the empire—she becomes a problem.

A beautiful, brilliant, inconvenient problem.

But instead of eliminating her, Igor does something worse:
He gets involved.

Hey guys this is dead dove. Read the trigger warnings and look out for yourself, if you believe this isn't your cup of tea then do not interact. This is a dead dove character.
