The moment she entered her stepfamilies' home, everything changed. Her five stepbrothers never wanted her there. She could see it in their eyes, in their silence, in the way their smiles faded whenever she walked into a room. They were close, bonded, protective of each other... and she was the outsider who didn't belong in their world. Little things piled up-cold shoulders, ignored conversations, blame for mistakes she never made, comments that cut deeper than they realized. She tried to be good, to be patient, to prove she wasn't the enemy they imagined her to be. But no matter what she did, she was always the problem. The disruption. The unwanted addition. Her parents were happy-blinded by love, trying to balance two families. They didn't see how she shrank a little more every day. But time softens eyes. Distance reveals truths. And one day, her stepfamily begins to realize the damage they caused-not through a single moment, but through every moment they never gave her. Through the love they withheld. Through the family they built without ever opening a space for her. Now, they want to change things. To understand her. To rebuild what never had the chance to grow. To become the family they should have been. But healing takes time. Forgiveness takes courage. And rebuilding a family takes all of them. Can they earn her trust? Can she learn to believe in them? And can a family built on hurt find its way to love at last? ────────── 𓆩♡𓆪 ──────────

Jeremy Romano, the newly crowned Don of the Cosa Nostra, but unlike his predecessors, he's determined to rewrite the rules. Haunted by the sins of his father, Jeremy sets out to dismantle the most vile corner of the empire: a secret prostitution ring that has trapped countless women in silence and suffering. During a covert operation to free the victims, Jeremy encounters Rose Callahan-a fragile young woman whose spirit has been bruised but not broken. As he pulls her from the shadows, Rose clings to him, the only person who's ever made her feel safe. Her trauma binds her to Jeremy in ways neither of them expect, and as he helps her heal, a deep emotional connection blossoms between them. But love in the underworld comes at a price. With enemies circling and loyalties tested, Jeremy must protect Rose not only from the ghosts of her past-but from the war he's ignited within his own ranks.

There's this silence between us that stretches longer than it should, and it wraps around my chest like a weighted blanket. My throat tightens. I stare at him like I'm trying to memorise the face of someone who shouldn't exist. A dream made real. My lips part before I can stop myself. "Were you sent by my dad to take care of me?" The question hangs in the air, trembling like the last leaf in autumn. Aiden's gaze softens. His lips tug into the gentlest smile I've ever seen. It's the kind of smile that could mend broken wings. "No" he whispers. "I volunteered." The words hit harder than I expect. Like a punch wrapped in silk. I gasp, air leaves me in a rush I can't reclaim. But before I can fully process what he's just said, he takes a step closer. His fingers ghost over my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realise had fallen. And then-he kisses me painfully slow. His hand cups the back of my neck, anchoring me to a moment I never want to end. And just when I think it's over, he pulls away just enough to look at me. His thumb traces the damp trail of tears down my cheek. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in again, and kisses them away. One by one. My tears. My pain. My silence. All kissed away by a boy who didn't come to save me because someone sent him. He came because he chose to.

You accepted to go to a High School Reunion Party without really recognising anyone. You finally started talking with your high school bestfriend and she eventually talks about him, your enemy. He's here, he's looking at you, with those infuriating eyes. But little do you know, he'll throw hands and threats to protect you. - "I fucking need you, sweetheart. Now." He says as he lays me down. His voice full with barely restrained desire. He starts unbuttoning his shirt and his mouth is already on my neck as he leaves small red marks and kisses. I can't believe I'm doing this, I'm gonna have sex with the man I hate more than anything in this world. But as he nips at my throat, a needy whimper escapes from it, making Viktor groans, and making me forget about the walls I've built around me for years.

"Winter, I don't want to be friends." Emerson whispered, softly, while slow tears cascaded down his tan flesh. As if her heart couldn't break anymore, it did. "Why?" Her soft voice cracked as new tears coated her hot cheeks. "Because I want to be more than friends with you." Emerson whispered even softer. And with that Winter's heart soared. He tugged a bit harder on her bottom lip and Winter let out a moan. Emerson took the opportunity to slide his tongue into her mouth. Winter was hot all over her body. Their tongues slowly touched, sending their bodies into sensory override. He let out a groan as he released her swollen lips. Their foreheads pressed together, as they regained their breath. They definitely weren't friends anymore. ----- Copyright © 2021 Please don't judge, my first book. Trigger Warning: Irregular eating habits, emotions.

She laughed at her own silly jokes as they walked. "A little birdie told me you eat pasta for breakfast," Taylor blurted out to the stoic man in front of her. Oh, she knew he was annoyed alright, she knew he didn't appreciate her following him against his own will. But she just can't help it, there's something about the long-haired man that keeps pulling her in, like an invincible force, dragging her to danger. "I mean, I'm not judging you," She carried on, kicking pebbles out of her way. "Even the best of us have a knack for being weird." The man walking ahead of her suddenly stopped walking. Taylor had managed to prevent herself from bumping into him but had succeeded in wobbling and toppling over. Her butt was inches away from the ground when her hand was gripped and she was pulled up. She ignored the tingles that jolted up her arm and stood upright. He gave her one pointed look before saying; "I'm not weird." And then he resumed walking. Taylor laughed and brushed her hands on her jeans. "Then what are you, Gregory Weston?" ** Maryam M.B♥
