The Lombardi family is the most notorious group in the crime world. They rule both the American and Italian mafias and have many others bowing at their feet. Lombardis show no mercy to anyone who gets in their way.
Alina is just shy of 4 years old...
I said that I wasn't a writer, which I'm not. But I've always wanted to be one. I loveeeeee reading and as cheesy as it sounds, escaping to a different world through the pages has gotten me through so much in my life and I'd love to give people that same feeling one day. Shoutout to my girl Sarah J. Maas (TOG>>>>>>)
All throughout quarantine I wrote about my own little fantasy world, but it was never good enough. I thought it was stupid and I'd get made fun of. But soon another idea came and a new notebook was filled. I made one world after the other until writing became my escape instead of reading. I still have my many notebooks with each and every detail.
After only ever writing fantasy, Alina was definitely a challenge but I had so much fun trying out this new style.
I started this book as a joke with a random idea one night, thinking no one would even like it. I never expected any of this to happen and I'm so incredibly grateful for all of you guys.

Being completely honest here, Alina was not supposed to end how it did. It was supposed to be like rlly cute like the other little mafia-daughter ones but I was like fuck it let's go dark. Cute will make a comeback tho!
Anywayyyyyyyyyyyy
I've seen my writing change since over a year and a half ago. It started out super weird but I was just having fun with it. Like it's Wattpad, who cares? And no one would know it's me. Looking back now I honestly wish I didn't write some stuff cause now people I know are reading this and I forgot how cringe some of it is. But you guys liked it so that's all that matters.
And the amount of you that shipped Damien, Nico, Alessio, and Adriano... crazy. How were you when u found out they're cousins??? Also the foursome comment killed me 💀
Now to be serious again.
You guys have given me the confidence to pick up those notebooks again and one day, hopefully my real actual name will be on the cover of a bestselling novel. I still have a few years before college, but I know I want to write, and honestly it's all thanks to you guys.
I've begun to not "hide this app" anymore cause it turns out a lot more people have Wattpad than I thought and also think what I'm doing is really cool.
Thank you to all of my readers. I love and appreciate each and every one of you guys so much. Your votes mean the world and I love reading through the comments. Some of you guys are honestly so funny. Shoutout to whoever commented that you'd let lulu rail you like a year ago. First off, same girl and hope ur still reading.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the story and the characters and any theories or ideas you have for book 2!!! (Comment that here)
I'm leaving my devices behind for the next two months so I'll see you guys then and have a great summer!
