Aurelia and Elara - the youngest twins and the only daughters of the De Santis family - were once the heart of their household. Inseparable, gentle, adored. Where one went, the other followed. Their parents cherished them. Their brothers protected them. But everything shattered the night eight-year-old Elara was found bleeding on the floor... and Aurelia stood over her, a knife in her hand. Blamed for a crime she didn't commit, Aurelia was sent away to a strict boarding school for "troubled children." Her parents believed discipline would straighten her out. What they never imagined was the truth - the cruelty hidden behind the school's walls, the sadistic methods used to "teach," and the horrors Aurelia was forced to endure. Now sixteen, after a devastating incident inside that school, Aurelia is brought back to the De Santis mansion. But it's not a homecoming. It's an obligation. A reminder that she is unwanted, distrusted, and viewed as a threat by the very family she once loved. Follow Aurelia as she relearns how to exist in a home that no longer feels like hers. Uncover the truth of what happened that night, what really happened to her within the school, and whether the De Santis family will ever face the truth of what Aurelia had to endure and do to survive. ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── "What should I ache for?

When her mother's best friend deemed her "useless," little Ana had nowhere to go-wandering barefoot in the rain, hungry and forgotten by the world. That is, until a sudden accident lands her in a hospital and into the arms of fate. The doctor treating her never expected to see the girl exactly like his friend's sister and his BFF. She isn't just a child. She's blood. She's family. Now, with seven powerful uncles determined to give her the love she was denied, Ana is about to discover what it truly means to be cherished. But healing doesn't come easy. Not when trust has been shattered, and nightmares cling to her small frame. In a world where she was abandoned... will love be enough to bring her home again?

He was born from revenge. Raised in chains. Found by the man he was born to hate. Fifteen-year-old Elias Moretti learned early that love was just another lie. Sold by his own mother to a brutal gang, he survived nine years of pain, blood, and silence - until a mafia war sets him free. His rescuer? Dante Moretti, Italy's most feared mafia don... and the father who never knew he existed. Dante wants redemption. Elias wants nothing. The Moretti brothers want him gone. And then there's Aria - Dante's daughter. The one he raised. The one who shares Elias's eyes... and nightmares. Twins, separated by vengeance. Reunited by tragedy. But the past never stays buried. The gang that owned Elias once wants him - and his sister - back. Blood runs deep. Family runs darker. And some scars were never meant to heal. When blood meets vengeance, who survives the truth? --"You think being rich and guilty makes you my father?" --"No. But I'll keep trying until I earn the right to be."
