Their favourite cocktail? One part betrayal mixed with bloodshed, One part secrets, half-part death with a splash of love....on rocks. "My Sisters want a battle? I'll give them war" 1 brother. "Men fight wars, littlest sister, women win them" "I mean that's a bit sexist but I want him down" 6 Sisters. "I have met a lot of people, you don't particularly stand out" "Funny, we kind of live under the same roof" Broken people who hide it excellently, taught not to love, not to care, life has always been that, and more power is what they want. At no matter what cost. Throw in life-changing family secrets, one year to live, another love, 2 heartbreaks, and a whole entire mafia war, Serafina's not sure how the last few months will go, especially since neither want to back down. "Sometimes who you are siding against is more important than who you are siding with" Because a war is brewing both mentally and physically, and only one can win.

"You want me to believe you when I have no idea if I exist!" ~o~O~o~ Skylar's lost. Completely, utterly, embarrassingly lost. She no longer knows what's real and what's not, no idea if she is real if her previous 'life' was real or this is. All she knows is that they were there before, and they are here now, with her. All she knows is that is Torn, Torn into an endless web of confusion and torture, Torn between her personalities,Torn between realities created by her own masterful subconscious, Torn between reality and fantasy, Torn between her truth and theirs Because in all honestly, She doesn't know a thing. All she knows is that she has no idea. No idea at all and that it's terrifying. ~o~O~o~ "Not all my thoughts are true...even the ones I wish were"

**Theres a re-written completed version too, it's much more satisfying and way better, I'd recommend that** Their favourite cocktail?

"Common sense, Gerald, is not a gift but a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it, now sign this goddamn deal like a grown man and stop whining about it" Atlas Lucien D'Angelo, the best closer in the country, only lost once. "Funny, yesterday you were willing to pay a million for me, I was quite offended, to be honest, I am worth way more, also that showed desperation and we both know in any other weaker firm, I'd be a senior partner by the end of the year, probably name partner in 2 years but it'd be boring and easy things aren't worth it, so take it or leave it, I'll do just fine either way." I leaned back into my chair. Skylar Artemis D'Angelo, a 16-year-old law prodigy. "You wanna know why I win? because I have the balls to get the things I need done" "If I can win why should I care about anything else?" The love for winning is something they had in common. Lucien knew he had a sister, after all he was the one who let the three old go and face the cruel world alone while he rose from being an associate in one of the best firms to name partner of THE best firm. "We, my sister are going to a casino" "I'm Sixteen!" "I'm Lucien!" Skylar had gone through hell and still rose a devilish-angel, a smart extremely intelligent and cold angel. His firm wants her, every firm in the world does, but she thinks easy things aren't worth it so she starts working for him, of course not letting him know who she really was but nothing can be hidden forever can it? Secrets come out. Blood is spilt. Tears are needed but so are laughs after all Skylar's past in no joke, and now it is not only threatening her but him as well. "This is me, Atlas, broken, murderer, assassin, object, an object sold for a mere two dollars so deal with it, and stop looking at me like that while I have to save your bloody life" Because the past is always lingering, and her past is more than just dangerous, it's deadly. (PS. A major plot twist changes almost everything)

Will started and then Alex continued " Has a boyfriend" The whole room went silent , you could hear a pin drop. I was so shocked that my brother said that, that i couldn't utter a word.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE IS GONE?" He shouted at the poor guard. The guard flinched and lowered his head, "She knocked me out as soon as we left. She killed the other 3 spies you had in the Italian guard. She went home." He cowered pathetically. Petro looked at him and chucked, not a humorless chuckle but an eerily calm chuckle. The men took a step back, "Home?" He asked. His fist slammed against the desk, "HER HOME IS HERE. WITH ME! IF SHE WAS HOME SHE WOULD BE WITH ME!"
