Six mysterious, wealthy, and dangerous brothers. One day, they came to her life, trying to take her home. But an unforeseen tragedy happened, causing her to be far from their reach. She was left with a man who claimed to be her uncle that wanted to take her in. But unfortunately, he is not a 'family' he claimed himself to be. So, she has to survive. Until fate brought her to meet them again. **The following story contains things which some readers may find distressing. Such as curse words, as well as violence / abuse and suicide (I'd put TW for this one) in future chapters Start: July 12, 2020
