There is a photograph. First birthday. The whole family around the long table - candles lit, cake centred, everyone leaning toward Isabella reaching for the flame, everyone laughing, everyone looking at the same thing. At the edge of the frame, barely in it, a small dark-haired girl in a white dress is looking at the candle. Not at her family. Not at her sister. Not at the camera. Just at the candle. Quiet. Still. Already, at one year old, watching the warmth from a slight distance. Nobody remembers who took the photograph. It was never framed. Never put in an album. Found years later in a box in the study, loose, slightly creased, as though it had simply been waiting. Her name is Serena Marchetti. The second twin. Born eleven minutes after her sister into a room already arranged around someone else - and she stayed that way, at the edge of things, for as long as the Marchettis of Milan would let her. This is not the story they would tell about her. This is hers.

The first thing you should know about me? I wasn't meant to exist. Not with the name Evelina Moretti. Not in their house. Not in their world. The second thing you should know? Every empire breaks from the inside. My name is Evelina Moretti, and I'm the aperture-the tiny fracture that let the truth in. What is that you might ask? Aperture; 𝚊 𝚜𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚘𝚙𝚎𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚌𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚔, 𝚘𝚛 𝚐𝚊𝚙 - 𝚎𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚒𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚜 𝚒𝚗 𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚘𝚛 𝚊𝚒𝚛. That's what they all see me as. A crack in their family. A crack in there. This is the story of the girl they threw away- and the home I was never meant to survive. And somehow, in the ruins of everything we broke, we found a way to build each other back. Because somewhere along the way, we became a family. ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ❀ :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧ :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧ The Moretti's had everything. Fame. Money. Power. A legacy carved into the city like a warning. Until one drunken night- one lie whispered in the wrong ear- brought their empire crashing down. All that's left is seven brothers. But does blood really run thicker than water? And they don't want Evelina there. They look at her like she's the dust on their boots, an inconvenience they're forced to tolerate, a reminder of the past. And she doesn't understand why. She doesn't understand what she did. "All I know is I don't belong. Not in that house. Not in that name. Not with them. But I have nowhere else to go." All she wishes-quietly, desperately- is to be more than a crack in their perfect world. But cracks spread. And sometimes the smallest fracture is where a whole story begins. ∧,,,∧ ~ ┏━━━━━━━━┓ ( ̳• · • ̳) ~ ♡Best Rankings Had♡ / づ ~ ┗━━━━━━━━┛ #1 underage drug use #1 aperture #1 evelina #2 moretti #4 o
