Fifteen-year-old Isabella Marino disappears on the walk home from school. It's the same route she's taken every day of her life. She even texts one of her brothers to say she's on her way. She never makes it home. Her father and brothers search relentlessly, tearing through enemies, allies, and shadows for answers-but years pass with no trace of Isabella. Then her father dies, taking what little hope they had left with him. Six years later, Isabella is found. Alive. Broken. And held just miles from the home she was stolen from. Now twenty-one, Isabella is returned to the brothers who never stopped looking for her-but coming home doesn't mean the darkness lets go. The girl they lost is not the woman who came back, and the past refuses to stay buried. As old enemies close in and secrets surface, the Marino brothers will do whatever it takes to protect what's theirs. Because Isabella was taken once. And this time, they won't lose her again.

The De Luca brothers reign supreme in the underworld, holding dominion over the ruthless realm of the Italian Mafia. They are cold, merciless, driven by madness, their loyalty solely to blood. Yet, their lives take an unexpected turn when they discovered their thirteen years old little sister. *** "When she was choking me, is that... love?" she whispered, her voice barely audible, each word trembling as if afraid to leave her lips. Her eyes, wide and glassy, searched mine desperately, seeking a truth that she couldn't grasp amidst the fog of confusion and despair that clouded her mind. My heart seethed with rage, a torrent of emotions crashing against the walls of my restraint, threatening to betray the stoic facade I had carefully constructed. I wanted to scream, to shake her out of this misguided belief. Hestia, my little sister, stared back at me. Her innocence tainted by the cruel hands of someone who had twisted the meaning of love into something unrecognizable. She couldn't differentiate the painfully obvious truth, the clear distinction between love and control, kindness and cruelty. It was as if the very essence of her spirit was being suffocated, just as her breath had been. ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains sensitive and potentially distressing themes, including abuse, sexual assault, rape, psychological trauma, and mature content.
