"Baba why don't du like wain?" I look at Beatrice her tiny hand in mine as we stand on the porch. The sound of the thunder in the distance and the gentle rain drops remind me of the dark days. The way my father would beat me, all the times I would stare outside my window watching the rain drops slide down the window pane, hoping the rain will stop so I can run from that horrid place, the way I would promise I would be better for my boys, for my wife, for my mafia, for me. So I ignore it, I pretend that everytime it rains, I'm fine and it's just another day but the truth is. I never got better, not really. Sure I'm happy but not healed. "Why do you want to know honeybee?" I ask trying to ignore the throbbing pain in my chest. "Cause you wook sad, I won't want du to be sad." I pick her up putting her on my side as she holds out the palm of her hand. Gentle rain drops falling. "Cause my dearest honeybee. Rain is sad and gloomy. No one likes rain." She looks at me her eyebrows furrowed. "But wain is nice." Why does this young girl like rain so much? Most kids are sad and whiney when it rains. Complaining about how they can't play outside but she loves rain, loves to play in it, loves to talk about it. What is her deal? "Well why do you like rain?" She looks at me a bright smile on her lips. "I wike the wain. Cause when it wains you tan look for rainbows and it's even better when it's dark tause du can look for stars." I watch as the golden sun peaks out from behind the dark grey storm clouds, bright golden rays shinning on her face. Small giggles coming from her.

I walked out of my room and closed the door. I started to go downstairs where I could hear my siblings talking. I was almost to the stairs when I heard a door open and close. I turned around to see Makayla right behind me. "Hi, Little Brother." She said viciously ~~~ "You didn't do that stuff to Makayla, did you?" He quietly asked. "No, I didn't." I shook my head and paused. "She did it to herself." He was quiet for a moment. "Why would she blame you for all that stuff?" I lightly shrugged. "They'll believe her, though." I said quietly "Everyone always believes her and now that you're here it's going to get a lot worse." ~~~ Twins that were given up for adoption together. For a reason they do not know yet. The girl was seen as young, Beautiful, and innocent. They couldn't see her for who she really was. But he could and he was none other than her twin brother of course.

Weakness; the lack of strength either mentally or physically "This business isn't for the faint of heart Fratello." The Sanchez Family was many things but let me tell you that they were not weak. Weakness is frowned upon because of the reputation their father set during his time as boss. Things took a turn when the mother of the Sanchez boys was tragically killed in a treaty deal with their rivals gone wrong. Now with their father in jail the boys have to make do with what they have and take care of each other because they don't have anyone or anything else. Blake Sanchez is the youngest of the 4 Sanchez brothers. He is the trouble maker out of the Sanchez bunch. Many say he gets that from his father but he never likes to be associated with him in any way. He alone has gone through the most out of them and has to face the repercussions of his brothers actions every day. The boy is given a chance at true love with someone who understands him more than he thinks she does. Blake doesn't know how to love and show affection towards another human because he's never been taught or shown it. The Sanchez Family are the mob bosses of the Italian Mafia and have been butting heads with rivals along the way. Blakes list of problems seems never ending too many but he manages to deal with his anger issues that he can't control, living life with no parental guidance except for his older brothers. How will Blake react to the problems that are just ahead in this rollercoaster that he has to call life? Will his mentality crumble along with his reputation or will he overcome the obstacles that his families profession has put out for him? The Sanchez Brothers are known to be the most coldhearted killers in the mafia business alone but what really happens behind closed doors? Does living up to their reputation cloud their judgement from separating work and home life?

Aurora and Kaden Ferrari have only ever had each other, ever since they were sold at the age of 5 to be put into foster care.

What happens when they reunite with their family 12 years later and are made to live with them? Will their family know what they have been through?
