My name's Aurora. Aurora Russo. And for a long time, I thought pain was normal. That love came with bruises. Then they happened- strangers who are my brothers. Loud. Cold. Angry. Yet somehow... they saved me. Not all at once. Not perfectly. But piece by piece, they pulled me out of the dark. This is the story of before them, and after. Of everything I lost. And everything I'm still trying to find. ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ❀ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ Nikita Gill once said, "The saddest word in the whole wide world is the word almost." Almost-the word that's followed Aurora like a shadow her whole life. She almost felt safe. She almost had a real family. She almost escaped the pain. She almost gave up. After years of silent suffering at the hands of those meant to protect her, she's finally free. She's shipped off to live with the only blood she has left: 7 older brothers she doesn't remember-hardened by violence, secrets, and a name feared in the underworld. What she doesn't know? They're part of the mafia. What they don't know? How to love her. Will they ever accept her as their sister? Or will she be just another casualty in their broken world? ∧,,,∧ ~ ┏━━━━━━━━┓ ( ̳• · • ̳) ~ ♡Best Rankings Had♡ / づ ~ ┗━━━━━━━━┛ #1 almost #1 abusive content #1 sisters and brothers #1 underage drug use #1 drugs #1 older brothers #1 ptsd awareness #1 hated #1 alcoholism #1 russo #1 weapon #1 bullying awarness #3 mafia princess #4 ptsd #5 mafia #5 family #5 mafia brothers #9 aurora #12 love

Haunted by the horrors of his past and the calm, simmering anger that always seems out of control, he moves and lives for his family, who prays for the day someone can help him come out of his rage and actually live his life. They say that there will be a person who is written for you, solely with the purpose of turning your life around........it's destiny, an unmistakable and unshakeable truth of life.

𝐙𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐫 × 𝐃𝐡𝐫𝐮𝐯𝐢 | 𝟑𝟏 × 𝟐3 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬: #𝟏 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐥 She saw him more than once. And every time, her heart betrayed her; racing, stumbling, fluttering like a caged butterfly chasing a memory. Her breath shortened, her chest tightened, and still, she said nothing. Because it wasn't her place. Because she was never meant to be seen. Until she was. Until the day she stood before him, not as a stranger in the crowd, but as his bride. The wrong bride. He had seen her before. Once in passing, her eyes barely a flicker in his peripheral vision, dismissed for a prettier pair. The second time, he saw her through a vow sealed in blood and duty. And rage erupted. Exacting. Demanding. She wasn't supposed to wear that dress. She wasn't supposed to carry his name. But now that she does... There's no turning back.

Eight-year-old Athena Dimitriou has never known safety. Raised by a mother who loved her but resented her, and a man who hid his violence behind closed doors, she learned early how to stay small, quiet, and invisible. Until the night everything shattered. When her mother is found dead and her stepfather vanishes, DNA results reveal an impossible truth-Athena is the illegitimate daughter of one of America's most powerful Mafia dons. Whisked away to New York, she finds herself in a palace of cold steel and burning loyalty, under the protection of five ruthless brothers who rule a criminal empire. She was born in silence. They raise her in steel. But beneath the violence lies something unexpected-soft hands, warm arms, a family that will kill for her, die for her... and teach her, at last, how to live. Book 1

Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. Self-harm. Death, and more.

"I know that we will never be a real couple, but we can at least be nice to each other Aneel" I told him. I've had enough. Tears were starting to prick my eyes, but I didn't let them fall.

You wait, every day, for me to come home and have dinner with you like normal couples do- you are pathetic. You are nothing! Absolutely nothing to me. You are not even worth my words. You are a loser who has nobody- your parents? They are just like me. They knew that you were worthless and wanted to get rid of you" he said angrily. I was not angry at him. He was telling the truth.
