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.

Vinaigrette Kenyo Zamindar The Butterfly with Scars Vinaigrette is soft-spoken but sharp, like a blade wrapped in silk. Raised in the rough corners of the city, she learned how to smile through pain, how to laugh even with bruises on her soul. She's street-smart, witty, and painfully observant-she catches what others miss, especially the emotions people try to hide. Her eyes, one-of-a-kind blue, see through masks. She's mysterious but kind, often helping others without expecting anything in return. But don't mistake her kindness for weakness. Vina fights back when pushed. She has a quiet strength, a chaotic past, and a heart full of secrets-including the butterfly tattoo that might just get her killed. To love her is to love someone who's always ready to run-but secretly hopes someone will make her stay. Xaidera Calestine Jazira The Ice Queen with Fire in Her Bones Xaidera was born with everything-wealth, power, influence-but not love. Cold, elegant, and intimidating, she walks like she owns the world, and in many ways, she does. She doesn't talk much, but when she does, her words cut clean. Her intelligence is deadly, and her pride is armor. But beneath the surface is a girl who grew up starving-for affection, attention, and something real. She hides her emotions behind designer clothes and sharp comebacks, but she feels deeply. The only problem? She doesn't know how to show it. Falling for someone like Vina, someone raw and chaotic, scares her-but also excites her. Because for the first time, someone dares to challenge her... and see her. What happens when their worlds collide? They hate each other from the very beginning. Walang araw na hindi sila nag-aaway. Isa ay gulo. Isa ay kontrol. Isa galing sa hirap. Isa galing sa yaman. Pero paano kung ang pinaka-ayaw mo... siya pala ang taong makakabasag ng pader sa puso mo? Will they destroy each other? Or will they end up saving each other?
