+++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.

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.

Eli has spent fifteen years being fine. No father, no history, no last name that means anything-just a foster placement in Kansas, a job he wasn't supposed to have, and a very specific list of foods he can eat without his body staging a protest. Fine. Manageable. His. But somehow, hitting a wine bottle at a customer leads him to a family and a home he doesn't recognize. Aleksandr Volkov has spent twelve years looking for his youngest son. He was not prepared for what fifteen years of fine looks like up close. ➜ cover by @sugararmy07
