Nothing has ever broken sixteen year old Cara. Even when her wealthy, fractured family fell apart, she pushed through. However, her resilience is tested when family obligations force her to move in with Zack, the brother who abandoned them four years ago and seems to hate her for reasons she does not understand. At her new school, she becomes a target of cruel bullying by a group of boys who takes her resilience as a challenge. However, Cara refuses to back down or be compliant. She pushes back at home. She pushes back at school. But the harder she fights, the more pressure builds, and the more dangerous it becomes for the girl who won't give up. "And I bet you believe that too, don't you? That nothing will break you- that you can push through this?" Blake didn't stop. His smile grew wider as he cruelly raised my face to meet his. "Well this is a promise to you, Cara. I can and will break you. I won't stop until I fully ruin you and you lose every part of yourself." I didn't let myself believe him. I would find a way out. This wouldn't last forever.

The De Luca brothers reign supreme in the underworld, holding dominion over the ruthless realm of the Italian Mafia. They are cold, merciless, driven by madness, their loyalty solely to blood. Yet, their lives take an unexpected turn when they discovered their thirteen years old little sister. *** "When she was choking me, is that... love?" she whispered, her voice barely audible, each word trembling as if afraid to leave her lips. Her eyes, wide and glassy, searched mine desperately, seeking a truth that she couldn't grasp amidst the fog of confusion and despair that clouded her mind. My heart seethed with rage, a torrent of emotions crashing against the walls of my restraint, threatening to betray the stoic facade I had carefully constructed. I wanted to scream, to shake her out of this misguided belief. Hestia, my little sister, stared back at me. Her innocence tainted by the cruel hands of someone who had twisted the meaning of love into something unrecognizable. She couldn't differentiate the painfully obvious truth, the clear distinction between love and control, kindness and cruelty. It was as if the very essence of her spirit was being suffocated, just as her breath had been. ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains sensitive and potentially distressing themes, including abuse, sexual assault, rape, psychological trauma, and mature content.

Only, you can blame them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Formally known as Athlete B Started: 23.10.25 Finished: -
