The first thing you should know about me? I wasn't meant to exist. Not with the name Evelina Moretti. Not in their house. Not in their world. The second thing you should know? Every empire breaks from the inside. My name is Evelina Moretti, and I'm the aperture-the tiny fracture that let the truth in. What is that you might ask? Aperture; 𝚊 𝚜𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚘𝚙𝚎𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚌𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚔, 𝚘𝚛 𝚐𝚊𝚙 - 𝚎𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚒𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚜 𝚒𝚗 𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚘𝚛 𝚊𝚒𝚛. That's what they all see me as. A crack in their family. A crack in there. This is the story of the girl they threw away- and the home I was never meant to survive. And somehow, in the ruins of everything we broke, we found a way to build each other back. Because somewhere along the way, we became a family. ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ❀ :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧ :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧ The Moretti's had everything. Fame. Money. Power. A legacy carved into the city like a warning. Until one drunken night- one lie whispered in the wrong ear- brought their empire crashing down. All that's left is seven brothers. But does blood really run thicker than water? And they don't want Evelina there. They look at her like she's the dust on their boots, an inconvenience they're forced to tolerate, a reminder of the past. And she doesn't understand why. She doesn't understand what she did. "All I know is I don't belong. Not in that house. Not in that name. Not with them. But I have nowhere else to go." All she wishes-quietly, desperately- is to be more than a crack in their perfect world. But cracks spread. And sometimes the smallest fracture is where a whole story begins. ∧,,,∧ ~ ┏━━━━━━━━┓ ( ̳• · • ̳) ~ ♡Best Rankings Had♡ / づ ~ ┗━━━━━━━━┛ #1 underage drug use #1 aperture #1 evelina #2 moretti #4 o

[Free Until End Of Story] ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ Lowly. Illegitimate. Disgraceful. Amaryllis bore the weight of whispers and stares, a child born out of debauchery. She was raised behind iron gates and velvet curtains, in a family whose name was spoken only in lowered voices. A mafia dynasty, steeped in blood and loyalty. Yet even within that empire of power, she remained a shadow in the presence of her brothers, seen but never truly known. However her heart, vast and unyielding, loved them unconditionally. But life is both fragile and cruel. When terminal illness claimed her, she carried it alone behind fragile smiles, unwilling to darken the days of those she adored. Only one wish bloomed before the end, "I hope their feelings might change, even if it's temporary." And when that time comes... Please bring flowers to my funeral. ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains sensitive and potentially distressing themes, including psychological trauma and mature content.

At the age of 6 Lola Romano was framed and her family sent her away to boarding school as a punishment.

14-year-old Aria is in the foster system and has what most people like to call "an attitude problem." In her eyes, it's not an 'attitude'-it's survival. Sarcasm is her shield, silence is her weapon, and if she rolls her eyes hard enough, maybe no one will notice the way her hands shake when doors slam too loud. She's been with her current foster family for the past five years, and their abuse has been the worst of them all. The kind that hides behind locked doors and perfect smiles for the neighbors. The kind that teaches you not to flinch in public, but never lets your bruises fade in private. ♬⋆.˚ Aria doesn't cry anymore-she learned young that tears only made them angrier. Instead, she grits her teeth, sharpens her tongue, and waits for the day she can get out. Her social workers call her "difficult." Teachers call her "disruptive." But really, she's just a girl with scars people don't bother to see, carrying secrets she's too smart to share. What no one knows -not even Aria- is that the blood running through her veins carries a legacy far darker and more powerful than anything this foster family could imagine. A legacy that comes with 5 brothers who would quite literally burn the world for her

Or at least she was...before she left for two years. Now she's back, and despite what you might think, she's not the same little girl she was back then. Her tongue grew even sharper somehow. As for Killian Blackwood, he's 'still at the restaurant'. He's popular and he's rich, but it's that charm that has everybody crazy for him. His eyes though, they've been set on a certain girl forever. Some say they were childhood enemies. But he was just a boy trying to get a pretty girl's attention. - • - • - • - • - • - • - • #2 IN SARCASM #3 IN BADGIRL

She was crying and I held her face. Her eye lashes were wet with all the tears. "Jellybean? Listen to me," My voice gentle, holding both her hands. "Every part of me loves every piece of you." I said as I kissed her forehead. "Never forget that, okay?" She nodded, crying silently, her hands shaking and I hugged her tight. ════════════ ୨୧ ═══════════ At 32, Joshua Price keeps life simple: work, sleep, repeat. No surprises. No chaos.
