They were her sentinels, her saviors, the reason that she refuses to let her past consume her. 𝐆𝐈𝐔𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐎, a young girl who's never known stability. Raised by a reckless, unstable mother, she spent her childhood caught between drug runs and police raids, ruining her right for a normal childhood. One night when her mother goes missing, Giulia's whole life changes... again. Will being under the guardianship of her new older brothers give her a chance at normalcy in her life or will they cause even more mess than before? Healing isn't easy and trust doesn't come free. ☆ ☆ ☆ As I lied there in the hospital bed with a pounding headache, practically suffocating me while barely conscious, I heard that familiar, raspy, deep, sleep deprived voice that I've recently come to find comfort in. "Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.) I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness. The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep. (Rest now, you're safe, baby). ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.

And was later sold by the orphanage to an assassin institution, where she was rigorously trained and transformed into a ruthless machine incapable of feeling any emotion other than rage and hunger for kill. She became a killer who kills without an ounce of remorse or fear of repercussions. She's known as Sinister, and an evil bitch. Nobody has seen her face, except the ones who are now dead, but her name is well-known and feared. Finally having built a billion dollar empire for herself, in the legal and illegal world, just at the age of 24, she received a call from the station notifying her of her now deceased parents along with her orphaned five siblings, all minors and in need of a new guardian. Even though she had no intention to do anything with them other than letting them rot in the orphanage like she had, fate managed to bring them all together under one roof.

And she herself had to learn and adjust to finally living with the people she might someday call a family. And, while she's juggling between dealing with her troubling emotions and learning to embrace new sibling relationships, she's also caught the attention of a devilishly attractive Italian man who is dead determined on having Azalea for himself. The trouble throughout her journey is that she doesn't understand social cues, specially relating to emotions and feelings. Welcome to the roller coaster journey of Azalea and her new found family. ‼️⚠️TW- Mature content 18+, violence, abuse, torture, murders, etc‼️
