When fourteen-year-old Emilia escapes the cold grip of foster care, she never expects to end up clinging to life on the doorstep of a powerful mafia family. Shot multiple times and broken in body and spirit, she is taken in by Matteo-the eldest of eight fiercely loyal brothers-who refuses to let her slip away, even as her survival hangs by a thread. In a house filled with quiet danger and unexpected tenderness, Emilia finds herself tethered to life by wires, tubes, and the steady hands of men who treat her like one of their own. As she battles pain, fear, and a past that left her scarred, she begins to discover something she's never known before: safety, family, and the unconditional care of those who see her not as a burden, but as a little sister worth protecting at all costs. Raw, emotional, and achingly human, Beneath the Blood and Silence is a story of survival, healing, and the found family that holds you up when the world has tried to tear you apart.

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.

She doesn't remember the brothers who loved her. And they don't know the girl she's become. Living under a new name in a quiet city, Isabella is a survivor-sharp-eyed, secretive, and always prepared to run. But when she transfers to a prestigious academy, two of the school's most feared students take notice: Antonio and Francesco Moretti. Cold, calculating, untouchable-until now. They don't know why they're drawn to her. Why she feels like something familiar. Why their guarded silence begins to crack around her laugh, her pain, her presence.
