One minute, Clara was walking home. The next, she was gone. Kidnapped off the street by three strangers-Ezra, Silas, and Lucian-she wakes up in a mansion too perfect to be real. Every room is tailored to her. Every meal, every hobby, every word-they knew everything. And now they expect her to play along in their twisted version of a family. They wanted her. To them, Clara is the missing piece. The daughter they've been waiting for. The one they've been preparing for. Every room is made for her. Every rule is meant to shape her. And every smile hides something sick. Ezra. Calm, calculating, always three steps ahead. No matter how careful Clara is, he sees through her. Every lie. Every escape attempt. Every flicker of rebellion. Silas is distant and cold, but dangerous in his silence. Silas keeps his distance-but when he looks at her, it's like he sees straight through. And Lucian... Lucian's the gentle one.The one who brings her hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and brushes her hair. The one who says this is all for her own good. Lucian is soft-spoken and kind... almost like he wants her to believe this could be real. But it isn't. They don't want her freedom. They want her obedience. Her love. Her role. They call it family. She calls it a nightmare. But if Clara wants to survive, she might have to play along. Even if it means pretending to love her captors. _________________________________________ Author's Note: This is a story I've been wanting to post and now I've finally done it.

Isabella Ferrari has always been the quiet one. In a family full of loud laughter, big personalities, and five protective brothers, she is the soft voice in the corner, the gentle smile behind a book, the girl who still keeps a teddy bear tucked in her bag. She feels everything deeply-maybe too deeply. And in a world that celebrates confidence and noise, Isabella begins to wonder: Is there something wrong with being gentle? When one unexpected moment shatters her already fragile confidence, Isabella starts to believe her softness makes her small-unseen, unheard, and unimportant. But sometimes, it takes being broken to learn where you truly belong. A story about quiet strength, the power of tenderness, and the love of a family who always knew that Isabella didn't need to change- She only needed to be seen.

Aurelia and Elara - the youngest twins and the only daughters of the De Santis family - were once the heart of their household. Inseparable, gentle, adored. Where one went, the other followed. Their parents cherished them. Their brothers protected them. But everything shattered the night eight-year-old Elara was found bleeding on the floor... and Aurelia stood over her, a knife in her hand. Blamed for a crime she didn't commit, Aurelia was sent away to a strict boarding school for "troubled children." Her parents believed discipline would straighten her out. What they never imagined was the truth - the cruelty hidden behind the school's walls, the sadistic methods used to "teach," and the horrors Aurelia was forced to endure. Now sixteen, after a devastating incident inside that school, Aurelia is brought back to the De Santis mansion. But it's not a homecoming. It's an obligation. A reminder that she is unwanted, distrusted, and viewed as a threat by the very family she once loved. Follow Aurelia as she relearns how to exist in a home that no longer feels like hers. Uncover the truth of what happened that night, what really happened to her within the school, and whether the De Santis family will ever face the truth of what Aurelia had to endure and do to survive. ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── "What should I ache for?

Zero mercy. †--------------------† Five-year-old Feodora was a secret Maksim Volkov never meant to keep because he never knew she existed. Raised in the shadows by her mother, Irina, Feodora was a "Blessing" hidden from the cold, violent world of the Bratva.

In a house built on sins and silence, she is a gift they never asked for and a target they aren't prepared to shield. Will the secret that brought her here be the very thing that destroys the Volkov empire? When the monsters finally face a child with their own eyes, who will blink first?

United they stand, united they fall. Akshat, Avi, and Athrav - three brothers, one heart, one family.

Alan Romano was only seventeen when his father was murdered, and the boy, he had been died with him. His revenge was ruthless, bloody, and absolute-leaving only one witness behind: Aveline. A quiet five-year-old girl with candy-sticky fingers... and eyes that looked at him as if he weren't a monster. He should have walked away. But he didn't. He made a promise. Now Alan is trapped between two worlds-the rising chaos of the mafia he's inheriting, and the child he's sworn to protect at all costs. What begins as duty twists into something darker: a possessive, consuming obsession to be the only person she trusts, the only one she needs, the only place she ever turns. As Aveline grows, so does Alan's devotion-warped, fierce, and inseparable from the violence and shadows inside him. And when she turns eighteen, the line he swore he'd never cross finally shatters... dragging them both into a world of obsession, sin, and a love born from promises he will keep at any cost.
