At two years old, she was taken from everything she knew - a powerful father, devoted brothers, and a home where she was treasured beyond measure. Kidnapped by the one person meant to protect her, she vanished without a trace. Raised in cruelty by her mother and stepfather, she grew up believing pain was normal and love was something earned. She never knew she had been stolen - or that an entire empire had been quietly searching for her. For fourteen years, her father and brothers tore through cities, secrets, and bloodlines to find the daughter and sister ripped from them. Now, as she turns sixteen, the truth begins to unravel. And when a mafia family finally finds what was taken from them, they don't let go easily.

THE GIRL WHO MELTED ICE Some hearts are frozen by choice. Others... By the loneliness they were forced to survive. Ibrahim Ceastun "Ice" Wales has everything money can buy. A luxurious mansion. A respected family name. A promising basketball career. To everyone else, he's the campus golden boy. But behind the applause and expectations is a young man who has spent years building walls no one has ever been able to break. After his closest friends graduate, Ice is left carrying the burden of becoming the basketball team's captain-a responsibility he never wanted. Keeping people at a distance has always been easier than risking another heartbreak. Kalia Philips has nothing except the future she's fighting for. An orphan with a painful past, Kali works three jobs while balancing college on a full scholarship, determined to become a doctor. Every sleepless night, every sacrifice, and every setback is another step toward the life she's promised herself. Their worlds collide because of one misunderstanding inside Oasis Club. One slap. One apology. One unexpected friendship. What begins as an accident slowly becomes something neither of them expected. As Ice discovers the warmth hidden behind Kali's unwavering smile, Kali begins to see the lonely boy beneath the coldest player on campus. But love is never easy when one heart is afraid to feel... ...and the other is terrified of being broken again. Sometimes, it only takes one person to change everything. One person who refuses to give up. One girl who sees beyond the walls. One girl... Who melted Ice.

"Don't touch me" He said through gritted teeth, "I don't know what I'll do if you touch me" My heart dropped. "I don't want to see you like this" I frowned and hesitantly tried to touch his shoulder, but he grabbed my hand tightly but gently. "Fuck it" He murmured as he held my jaw and pressed his lips on mine. (The guy is 22 and the girl is 17 a few months away from 18. If you're bothered by that please don't read it.)

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in pastabuse #1 in abusing #1 in nightterror on 27/02/25 #1 in running on 2/2/25, 26/4 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in brokenfamily #4 in olderbrother #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #3 in siblingrivalry #18 in trauma #34 in littlesister #59 in mafia
