A girl that gets used for bets. So gullible, naive. She doesn't believe in anyone anymore. She felt like everyone around her was lying. He wanted to be the one that changed that. He wanted her. ....::::**•°✾°•**::::.... 𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐁𝐋𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐍 :: Her past haunts her everyday. She thinks everyone around her is liars. She doesn't believe anyone. She doesn't trust anyone. If she could run away, she would. Well, she had two people keeping her going. Their names are Marcello and Christopher. 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐌 𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐎 :: He would do anything for her.

Finding them. Something that had been the goal of the Naclerio brothers since they lost their twins that dreadful night 12 years ago. Hoping that something or someone would guide them in the right direction. 12 years. That's how long the Naclerio twins have spent fighting to survive. Hoping that something or someone would save them from the endless pain and trauma they have to endure. Just when the twins reach their breaking point, a man enters a coffee shop they work at. A man that looks almost identical to the two. However this is just the beginning of the Naclerio's story...

Victoria Garcia, was the perfect resemblance of the devil. Also known as Nemesis, she was a relentless force in the world of assassination, her very name striking fear into the hearts of her targets. From a young age, she had been molded into the perfect killer, detached and ruthless, her emotions buried deep beneath a veneer of ice. Betrayed by the world and robbed of her family, trust had become an alien concept to her. But fate had a cruel twist in store for her. Victoria's life took an unexpected turn when she was thrust into the midst of her own blood, the Spanish Mafia, her biological brothers. Forced to confront her past and the family she never knew, she found herself walking a treacherous tightrope between the world she had known as Nemesis and the complexities of family loyalty. As she navigated this perilous new terrain, Victoria would be pushed to her limits, forced to question everything she believed about herself, her family, and the very nature of trust. In this gripping tale of redemption, revenge, and the quest for identity, Victoria's journey would ultimately determine whether she remained the feared Nemesis or could find a path to her own salvation.

"Please, Nymeria. We can tell you that another time." Nikko says but I shake my head. "For my whole entire life, I have been thinking it's my fault that you guys left. So I want to know if I'm right or wrong." "It's not your fault that we left-" "Then what is it?! Please, just tell me. I'm desperate at this point. Just tell me!" "We wanted to protect you. We didn't want you to see what Federico did to us when we had to join the mafia. We didn't want you to be involved in this life." Nikko admits. "Which is stupid-" Arcello adds. "That's not the reason right? To protect me?" I question. "That is the main reason." "If you guys wanted to protect me, you would have stayed." I shake my head, backing away from them more. "We are sorry, Nymeria.. But we can get to know each other and then, we promise, we won't leave you again. But I'm pretty sure you heard a lot about us from Federico." Theo promises. "I shouldn't have to hear about you! I'm almost twenty and I have to get to know my brothers that I was born with! " I shout back, my hands tangling into my hair. I don't know if I should be happy that I'm with them or angry at them for leaving or both. Either way, I'm still losing my mind. .·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙　✩　*̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ .

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)
