"She was never theirs to hate. But now, she's everything they need." > They gave her pain. She gave them love. Alesia - the second-born twin in the most feared mafia family - was born into blame. Blamed for Alessio's weakness. Treated as a curse. Abused. Beaten. Shunned. Until one night, at just 12 years old, she ran away in silence. But even through the pain, she loved them. Always. She never stopped thinking the best of them - even when they gave her their worst. Now, at 16, she's back - unknowingly stepping into the same school her mafia family controls from the shadows. What they don't know: the girl they once destroyed... is the same girl their hearts can't forget. She is beautiful inside and out. Soft-spoken. Kind. Gentle. Her innocence now haunts them. The very love they rejected... is now their obsession. Especially Alessio, her twin - who would tear apart the world just to have her close again. They don't deserve her. But they can't breathe without her. The Mafia's Forsaken Rose - A story of cruelty, innocence, obsession, and a girl who bloomed with love even when she was buried in hate.
