"You are our sister, Ana! Our little girl and our world. You may not be ours by blood but you are ours by heart and choice, baby. We love you." - Anastasia Miller. A little girl whose life has never been treated fairly. A girl who spent her entire life cleaning and cooking, serving her abusive parents, hoping they would stop their torture and finally love her. She can't seem to remember the last time love and affection were shown to her or the last time she smiled or laughed. She went from seeing loving parents to now gazing at monsters who abuse her at every given chance. Now, in the aftermath of living a pain-riddled life, she's left scarred for life, utterly vulnerable to a harsh world with a tainted mind, expecting nothing but the worst from everyone she meets. Sick and tired of the constant torture, she escapes and leaves the hell she's lived in her whole life. But having no one to rely on, she has no idea what to do now. That's until she ran into a tall stranger who calls her Darlin' and regards her with a soft look of affection and longing that makes her feel safe and... loved? Ana wasn't sure, but she knew that the moment she met the rest of the Romano family, that was the first time in her life that she felt truly at home. - Please check TWs. *The book towards the beginning is relatively tame in terms of darkness, but after a certain chapter, the themes I'll explore are extremely dark and triggering.

My name is Antonia and I am 16 years old. Until recently, my life was a hell that I didn't think I would ever get out of. My father... not only would he yell at me, but he would raise his hand without hesitation, whenever he had a reason - or even when he didn't. My mother? Just as guilty, but in a different way. Her words tore me apart worse than any blow. I lived for years believing that this was my life, that this was what I deserved. Then, one day, everything changed. A black car, strangers who knew my name, my story. They told me that these people - the ones who had destroyed me - weren't even my parents. My real family had been looking for me for years. Arthur and Teresa Rosetti, the leaders of a world I had only heard stories about, are my biological parents. And now I find myself here, in their midst. I have six siblings. Six strangers who, although they share my blood, seem inscrutable. Everyone is different. Some are strict, rigid, as if my every move is a test. Others seem gentler, but something in their eyes keeps me at a distance. And some are simply cold... and even harsh. They look at me with envy, as if they don't know what to do with me, as if I'm an extra problem they didn't want. And... my twin. Yes, my twin. It still seems hard to believe. I've always felt a void he couldn't explain, an absence that gnaws at me. Now that I'm here, next to him, that void has been filled. But they don't know me. They think I had an ordinary past, that I'm a simple girl, maybe just a little disoriented by change. They don't know what I've been through, they don't know about the wounds I hide under my long sleeves and forced smiles. My trauma is a secret, and the hell I went through is something I can't tell them yet. And me? I'm caught between the fear of opening up and the desire to understand them. I'm Antonia Rosetti, a girl trying to leave hell behind, but who still doesn't know how to live in the light. 1. #mafiadaughter 14.06.2025 🏆

Eleonora "Nora" was born in Italy, into a powerful family she never truly came to know. At just two years old, her life was quietly uprooted. Though her parents had separated, that was never the real reason she left. Hidden from her was a far more dangerous truth-threats from rival families that made her a target, and sending her away was the only way to keep her safe. Taken to St. Tropez with her mother, Nora grew up believing she had simply been given a different life. She was told her father had died when she was only a baby, a story carefully crafted to protect her from a world she was never meant to see, cut off from her Italian family. But the safety she was promised never truly existed. Behind closed doors, under the control of her stepfather, Nora's world slowly darkened. Years of abuse were buried beneath silence, enforced by fear and threats she was too young to fully understand, yet too terrified to ignore. When her mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Nora is faced with an impossible choice-tell the truth and risk breaking the fragile peace her mother clings to, or stay silent and carry the weight alone. In the end, her mother makes the choice for her. With her final act, custody of Nora is transferred to her eldest brother, Lorenzo-bringing her back to Italy for the first time since she was a toddler, and into a family she doesn't remember, yet has always belonged to. Now, free from the man who controlled her life, Nora must confront the shadows of her past and navigate a world she was never meant to be part of. Because while her stepfather disappears the moment he loses his hold over her, the damage he left behind doesn't vanish with him. And for the first time in her life, Nora must learn what it truly means to be safe... and to finally belong. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️ Sexual Abuse Physical Abuse PTSD Self Harm Suicidal Thoughts Body Dysmorphia
