She's pained and broken, but hides it... until she can't. .From being tortured, to being turned into a killing machine. Vienna Thorne can never catch a break.

Add romance to the mix and she might just get the life she always wanted.

LIMINAL - existing in between states (identity, family, morality). Between who you were told you are and who your blood insists you've always been. That's how Mazikeen feels. Liminal. Mazikeen has never belonged to anything except survival. Raised without a family, without a past she trusted, she learned early not to care about things like lineage or home. Those were weaknesses. Sentiment got you killed. Then a car crash rips the truth open. She isn't an orphan. She was stolen. The De Luca family-powerful, dangerous, and sworn enemies of the world that raised her-didn't even know they'd lost a daughter until years later, when her face appeared beside Mara De Luca's. Her mother. With no certainty and nothing but blood tests and instinct, they searched anyway. They never expected to find her fifteen years later. They never expected to already know her. Because Mazikeen has crossed paths with them before. She's fought one of her brothers more times than she can count-both of them trying to kill the other, never realizing they shared the same blood they drew. Now she's forced to live under the same roof as him. Alongside a father she doesn't know, and four brothers who don't know what to do with her. And the worst part? She fits. But the life she came from doesn't let go so easily. Her past stalks her like a shadow, violent and familiar, and Mazikeen finds herself unwilling to outrun it. Torn between what she was shaped into and what she was meant to be, she remains suspended in the in-between. Liminal. And if she has to choose, she's not sure she wants to be saved at all.

[Free Until End Of Story] ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ Lowly. Illegitimate. Disgraceful. Amaryllis bore the weight of whispers and stares, a child born out of debauchery. She was raised behind iron gates and velvet curtains, in a family whose name was spoken only in lowered voices. A mafia dynasty, steeped in blood and loyalty. Yet even within that empire of power, she remained a shadow in the presence of her brothers, seen but never truly known. However her heart, vast and unyielding, loved them unconditionally. But life is both fragile and cruel. When terminal illness claimed her, she carried it alone behind fragile smiles, unwilling to darken the days of those she adored. Only one wish bloomed before the end, "I hope their feelings might change, even if it's temporary." And when that time comes... Please bring flowers to my funeral. ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains sensitive and potentially distressing themes, including psychological trauma and mature content.

Nearly 10 years-that's how long Cecelia has been alone. Abandoned. Exiled from the only family she's ever known for a crime she doesn't even remember committing. Sent away to a cold, unfamiliar boarding school in London, she learned to survive on her own, her past slipping away piece by piece after a tragic accident stole her memories. Now, her family exists only in the ink-stained pages of her diary-names without faces, stories without warmth. But when a sudden summons drags her back into their world, Cecelia is forced to confront the ghosts of her past. Her family still blames her. Their eyes hold nothing but resentment. And worst of all, she has no idea what she did to deserve their hatred. Thrown into a brutal world of crime, power, and secrets, Cecelia finds herself entangled in a dangerous game-one where trust is scarce, loyalty is tested, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. As she fights to reclaim the life that was stolen from her, she must face the ultimate question: Can she ever truly go home, or was she never meant to belong in the first place?
