Arabella Anastasi is just a girl, with a dark past. She wore a mask and hood at school (although, she hardly showed up) to avoid people and questions, she went by a fake name too. Her mafia involvement wasn't a big help either, her secret could be a life threat. In other words, she was alone in this world, with a huge war to fight. Zade Artino is a boy who was warned about Arabella, he was told not to go near her, not to talk to her. He was the exact opposite, while she was quiet, anti social and spiteful, he was outgoing and hilarious to those around him. Zade had his own secrets and was just as broken as her, but in all the different ways. They say opposites attract, so what happens when they meet? *PRINTING AND/OR TRANSLATING THIS BOOK IS NOT PERMITTED. not even screenshotting then printing it(forthatonepersonwhoasked)* #2 in Hoodie (December 2022) #2 in Good Guys (December 2022)

𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗕𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗶. A vicious, cunning, dejected but most of all an EVIL bitch. She hates basically everyone. Traumatised when she was just an infant. She hated the world. She blamed the world for her sufferings. After her newest foster parent dies, she is forced to live under the guardianship of her biological brother in Italy. Amaya never believed in a 'family', the mere thought of family makes her shiver in disgust. '𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿' A phrase that most people think of when they hear the word 'family'. A phrase in which reminds us that blood related family bonds will always be stronger than that of any other bond. A phrase that has been misguided and misinterpreted for generations. '𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗯' The correct phrase. It states that the people we chose to love are more important to us than our blood related biologicals we are bound to by the water of the womb. ________________________________________ >This story will include the following {Mentions of rape} {abuse physical/emotional} {mentally unstable female lead} {domestic violence} {eating disorder} {Self harm} [𝘈/𝘕: 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘊𝘓𝘈𝘐𝘔𝘌𝘙: 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴, 𝘲𝘶𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺.
