After years of silence, bruises no one asked about, and a home that was never truly safe, seventeen-year-old Asher and his seven-year-old sister Felicity are leaving everything they know behind - to siblings they haven't spoken to for years. The troubled teen faces difficulties trusting the new setting, guarded and angry, while Felicity can't muster up the courage to speak from the trauma both have faced. Both carry scars from a home that nearly broke them, and as old wounds clash with new beginnings, Asher and Felicity learn that healing isn't quick or easy. Yet sometimes - the safest place to land is the one you never expected. Started Jan 6, 2025. [@blackwidowballerina]

They buried one sister. Another vanished without a trace. Now a girl with no memories, a number and a barcode burned into her wrist, walks into their family and claims their dead sister's name. But the Beneventi brothers remember everything. Secrets bleed through bloodlines. With their youngest sister still missing and secrets tightening around the family like a noose, DNA proves what shouldn't be possible, and raises questions no one is ready to answer. And when the lies start unraveling, this family will fracture like never before.

A Name in the Dark Some names are erased. Others are forged in silence. After six generations of sons, twin daughters were born to Italy's most feared mafia family. But their legacy was stolen. At just five years old, Lavinia and Flavia vanished-kidnapped by their family's enemies and torn apart forever. The younger twin, Lavinia, was hidden in a dungeon, stripped of her name, and forged into a weapon. Years later, she breaks free-no longer a child, but a storm cloaked in shadows. Now a feared assassin, underground racer, and rising mafia donna in France, she runs an empire of weapons and fashion under the name Lavinia Noiret. Her past is a locked vault-until it isn't. The elder sister, Flavia, was left behind. Raised by cruel step-parents who hid the truth, her life was marked by bruises and silence. When they died, she returned to the orphanage, her memories a blur, her soul stitched together with grace and quiet resilience. She becomes a gifted designer and launches a jewelry brand that whispers the elegance she never had. But when Lavinia breaks out of the darkness with two dangerous allies, she goes searching for the sister she lost. What she finds is not a victim-but a survivor. Now reunited, the twins must unravel the secrets of their past, reclaim their stolen bloodline, and choose whether to rule the empire that once betrayed them-or burn it to the ground. Because some names don't disappear. They wait in the dark-ready to strike.

Estelle Hawthorne was never part of the game. She's seven years old. She likes ballet, vanilla cupcakes, and glitter (sorry, Grayson). Being the youngest-and the only girl-in a house full of Hawthorne boys means: someone is always carrying her someone is always panicking about her safety someone is always deeply regretting what they just said out loud This isn't a story about solving riddles or winning fortunes. It's a story about a tiny girl being loved loudly, protected fiercely, and accidentally causing absolute chaos simply by existing. Seven years old. Four brothers. Zero survival instincts. Welcome to Hawthorne House.

My name is Antonia and I am 16 years old. Until recently, my life was a hell that I didn't think I would ever get out of. My father... not only would he yell at me, but he would raise his hand without hesitation, whenever he had a reason - or even when he didn't. My mother? Just as guilty, but in a different way. Her words tore me apart worse than any blow. I lived for years believing that this was my life, that this was what I deserved. Then, one day, everything changed. A black car, strangers who knew my name, my story. They told me that these people - the ones who had destroyed me - weren't even my parents. My real family had been looking for me for years. Arthur and Teresa Rosetti, the leaders of a world I had only heard stories about, are my biological parents. And now I find myself here, in their midst. I have six siblings. Six strangers who, although they share my blood, seem inscrutable. Everyone is different. Some are strict, rigid, as if my every move is a test. Others seem gentler, but something in their eyes keeps me at a distance. And some are simply cold... and even harsh. They look at me with envy, as if they don't know what to do with me, as if I'm an extra problem they didn't want. And... my twin. Yes, my twin. It still seems hard to believe. I've always felt a void he couldn't explain, an absence that gnaws at me. Now that I'm here, next to him, that void has been filled. But they don't know me. They think I had an ordinary past, that I'm a simple girl, maybe just a little disoriented by change. They don't know what I've been through, they don't know about the wounds I hide under my long sleeves and forced smiles. My trauma is a secret, and the hell I went through is something I can't tell them yet. And me? I'm caught between the fear of opening up and the desire to understand them. I'm Antonia Rosetti, a girl trying to leave hell behind, but who still doesn't know how to live in the light. 1. #mafiadaughter 14.06.2025 🏆

When her mum and stepdad die without warning, everything she knew changed overnight. Forced to move in with brothers she never knew existed, she's dropped into a life that feels stranger than it should. Unfamiliar rules, strained silences, and the constant feeling that she doesn't quite fit in. They're family by blood, but not by memory, and every shared space reminds her of how much of her life was lived without them. They call it home. She feels like an outsider.
