Now, nine years later, she is living with her abusive foster dad who has traumatised the girl for an entire year. And yet, there's a chance for her life to return to the way she wants. She continues to thrive, continues to love, continues to hope, and finally she's rewarded. The Bianchi brothers and their dad have missed their bambina more than possible to imagine.

Solienne (n.) - a name evoking sunlight after ruin; the quiet resilience of something lost, yet still burning. Isabella Moretti was kidnapped when she was three years old. 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. They have no idea she's the sister they've mourned for years. And Isabella? She has no idea she's walking straight back into the family that never stopped searching. Solienne is a story of blood that remembers, even when memory doesn't-of lost things finding their way home, and love that endures even when the truth is buried in silence.

Meet Parker. Bad-Boy of the school. Mostly closed out. Has one friend they are pretty close. Most of the girls go after him but very un-cliche. Not the head-cheerleader.

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.
