+++THIS IS MY SAME STORY RECREATED. THE OTHER ONE WAS REMOVED AFTER 200K+ READS+++ (story will be in ongoing editing phase so I can get out new chapters while still trying to recreate this story) Riley Knight has never felt like she belonged anywhere. Her father never wanted her. Her stepfather has always made it clear that she isn't his daughter. And certainly not her five older half-brothers and twin from her father's side, who Riley has spent years believing would rather have nothing to do with her. So she's learned to live without them. For years, she has accepted that this is simply how her life is supposed to be. She doesn't expect anyone to choose her, protect her, or stay - least of all herself, who counts down the days until her 18th-birthday when she can break away from all of this. But as secrets are uncovered and Riley's relationship with her brothers begins to change, 15-year-old Riley is forced to question everything she thought she knew. Maybe Riley doesn't know her family as well as she thinks she does. Maybe she was never as unwanted as she believed. Or maybe the people she thought she could live without are the ones she needed all along.

"Start calling us Mum and Dad from now on," she said, holding my chin. "We have full legal custody. Understood?" "Understood." "Understood what?" My throat tightened. "Understood... Mum." The word tasted bitter. "Now apologize to your dad for not telling him you were sick." I swallowed. "I'm sorry, Dad." "And?" "I won't do it again." 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫.

Eleonora "Nora" was born in Italy, into a powerful family she never truly came to know. At just two years old, her life was quietly uprooted. Though her parents had separated, that was never the real reason she left. Hidden from her was a far more dangerous truth-threats from rival families that made her a target, and sending her away was the only way to keep her safe. Taken to St. Tropez with her mother, Nora grew up believing she had simply been given a different life. She was told her father had died when she was only a baby, a story carefully crafted to protect her from a world she was never meant to see, cut off from her Italian family. But the safety she was promised never truly existed. Behind closed doors, under the control of her stepfather, Nora's world slowly darkened. Years of abuse were buried beneath silence, enforced by fear and threats she was too young to fully understand, yet too terrified to ignore. When her mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Nora is faced with an impossible choice-tell the truth and risk breaking the fragile peace her mother clings to, or stay silent and carry the weight alone. In the end, her mother makes the choice for her. With her final act, custody of Nora is transferred to her eldest brother, Lorenzo-bringing her back to Italy for the first time since she was a toddler, and into a family she doesn't remember, yet has always belonged to. Now, free from the man who controlled her life, Nora must confront the shadows of her past and navigate a world she was never meant to be part of. Because while her stepfather disappears the moment he loses his hold over her, the damage he left behind doesn't vanish with him. And for the first time in her life, Nora must learn what it truly means to be safe... and to finally belong. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️ Sexual Abuse Physical Abuse PTSD Self Harm Suicidal Thoughts Body Dysmorphia

Two children. A family that never knew they existed. For sixteen years, the Moretti empire stood unshaken-powerful, feared, untouchable. Until the past returned. Aria and Alexander were never meant to come back. Hidden away for their own survival, raised far from the world that was always theirs. But blood doesn't forget. Now they stand at the doors of a family built on control, silence, and secrets- a father who never searched, brothers who never knew, and a past that was never truly buried. In a house where loyalty is everything and emotions are weakness, their return doesn't just change the family- it threatens to break it. Some families are built on blood. The Morettis are built on silence. Because blood doesn't guarantee belonging, and family isn't built without resistance. The question is- when everything begins with conflict, will they ever become one? Two worlds. One bloodline. No guarantee of belonging. Blood doesn't choose the road-but it remembers where it started.

What happens when Kaylee finds the answers to her questions and Kayden returns to the place he ran away from, under unavoidable circumstances?

They buried the truth six years ago. They were wrong. The DeMarco name has always meant power, blood, and loyalty. When their mother is murdered inside their own home, the brothers know it's an act of war. When their youngest sister, Octavia, vanishes the same night, they believe it's a wound they will never survive. They search. They wait. They take revenge where they can. But Octavia is not dead. For six years, she is kept hidden in the dark-moved, broken, erased-until her body begins to fail and the man who stole her makes one fatal mistake. When the DeMarcos finally find her, she is nothing like the girl they lost. And the enemies who thought their sins were buried soon learn a brutal truth: Blood remembers. Family never forgets. And vendettas are inherited.
