book 1 of the windows of the soul duology ✿ ✿ ✿ lucent: softly bright or radiant ✿ ✿ ✿ My brother's hand traces the cut on my right cheek for some minutes. I have no idea how a cut can be so interesting, but I won't judge a book by its cover. He unexpectedly moves and places a heartwarming kiss on my crown, brushing through the strands of my hair. But what startles me the most, is when he speaks, "Duerme bien, mi niña bonita." And just as I wasn't able to sleep hours ago because of my stupid fear, I let myself fall into a dreamless sleep as his soothing voice travels through my ears. ✿ ✿ ✿ Layla Rivera. A young naive fourteen-year-old who's just lost her childhood best friend and guardian. She's anxious and timid when meeting other people, so she usually cowers and distracts herself, immerse between the pages of books. When she is thrown into the lion's den - or also named as her older brothers' house - she's left fearful and intimidated by the six foot three males who she never had a clue about. Trying to make sense of what her new life will bring while being unaware of the dangers her new home beholds, she tries to make her way into her new family, but it doesn't seem as easy as she expected, or is it? ©️juststarsandbooks All written works on this account belong to Juststarsandbooks.

She moves all the way from London to Manhattan with her mom. Charlotte gets to make new friends but also new enemies. The Cassano's are very powerful and Charlotte will soon find out how powerful they truly are. /////// Snippet: "Your sister touched my boobs and slammed me into a locker. Your brothers pushed me up against a locker and choked me. I really don't care for any of the apologies you give me, because let's be honest, they're not genuine." The blond man's jaw dropped but there was no change in Hector's face. He only seemed slightly annoyed that I interrupted him. "Yeah, bestie, you tell him!" Cecelia purred. Eunha gasped and softly slapped Cecelia, but who could really stop her. That girl had no fears. "Let's go." Daniel softly nudged me. I nodded and turned away without saying goodbye. This damn family was getting on my nerves. In this moment I didn't care that I pissed them off. It's what they deserved. But what I would later learn is that this was what kickstarted the whole mess I'd get dragged in. It all started with Hector Cassano getting interested in me. ------- #1 in 'littlesister' on 26 January 2022

Now reunited, they realize there is a toddler on the tow, no longer a mere unborn baby that was assumed to be dead but a little girl - a sister and daughter. SLOW UPDATES.

[Ongoing] It took one tragedy to tear them apart. Another tragedy to force them to face their issues. And the scare of a third to finally mend what was broken. Brody has never been able to forgive himself for the death of their sister six years ago, and Luca could never forgive Brody for leaving him behind in the wake of her death. As Noah watched his brother's relationship crumble, while mourning Ruby, he made a decision to always put himself first; to save himself from ever feeling such pain again. Now, with the news of their parent's tragic accident, they have to find a way to mend their broken relationships, and put their selfish tendencies aside for the only family they have left; their little sister Chloe. Can three brothers mend themselves, and their relationships, enough to create a new normal, a happy normal, for a sister that has already lost far too much in this lifetime? ***** Contains some trigger content. Material does relate to loss/death and how everyone heals and deals differently.
