Everyone thinks they know the story of Bella Swan - the quiet girl from Forks whose life was shaped by a broken marriage and a mother who never quite grew up. But there's a part of her story no one ever told, a missing piece that changes everything. When Renée ran off with baby Bella, she didn't leave alone. She left behind her younger sister, Andrea Higginbotham - responsible, steady, and everything Renée wasn't. Andrea stayed in Forks, helping Charlie pick up the pieces of a life that had fallen apart overnight. She was the one who answered the phone when something happened to Bella. She was the one who rushed to help when Renée wouldn't. And she was the one who stood beside Charlie long enough for him to realize the truth: He had married the wrong sister. Where Renée chased parties, Andrea built a life. Where Renée ran, Andrea stayed. And in the quiet town of Forks, grief slowly gave way to something gentler - a love story born from shared responsibility, late‑night conversations, and the fierce devotion they both felt for a little girl who deserved better. And because of Andrea, Bella's story doesn't unfold the way anyone remembers. With a stable home, a loving father, and a mother‑figure who actually shows up, Bella grows up safer, stronger, and far more prepared for the supernatural world waiting for her. This isn't just a retelling. It's the story of the woman who changed everything - the aunt who became a mother, the sister who became a partner, and the choice that rewrote Bella Swan's fate.

Alessia and Ares grew up quicker and learnt the realities of the world earlier than someone would normally but it also says in certain parts that she's a genius which if you read about it you'd understand it's not all that surprising~

I must put a stop to our relationship now, before it is too late. Please do not try to call or text. I won't answer. My things will be gone by the time you have finished reading this letter.

At the age of three, the youngest son of the Valente family was stolen. Angelo Valente was taken from the warmth of his family and thrown into the cold, unforgiving world of an orphanage. Years of abuse and neglect followed, leaving scars that ran deeper than anyone could see. Now, years later, the past resurfaces and Angelo is faced with a family he can't remember, brothers he never knew he had, and a home he thought he lost forever. But the closer he gets, the more he realises...his family might be a little more dangerous then they let on.

For a thousand years, the world has known the legend of the Mikaelsons-Freya, Finn, Elijah, Klaus, Rebekah, and Kol. The first vampires. The first hybrid. The family bound by Always and Forever. But legends leave out the truths that hurt the most. Serena Mikaelson, Klaus's twin sister and the second original hybrid, was erased from history the night Mikael returned to New Orleans. In the chaos of battle, Serena and Marcel fell, their bodies left behind as the family fled-believing them dead. Grief reshaped the Mikaelsons. Rage hardened Klaus. And the world moved on without the sister no one spoke of again. Except Serena wasn't dead. Hours after the family vanished, Serena and Marcel awoke in a ruined city with no ruler, no family, and no answers. Abandoned and heartbroken, they rebuilt New Orleans from its ashes-Marcel rising as king, Serena as his equal, his partner, his fiercest protector. Together they forged a new dynasty, one built not on bloodlines but on survival. They never expected the Mikaelsons to return. But when a pregnant werewolf arrives carrying Klaus's child, the past crashes violently into the present. The family who left Serena behind discovers she is alive-thriving, powerful, and no longer theirs. And Klaus learns the truth he was never meant to know: his sister didn't die. She was cursed. And when he broke his own curse in Mystic Falls, he unknowingly shattered hers as well... unlocking a truth Serena never imagined. She can have children. She can have a family. And she already does. Now the Mikaelsons must face the consequences of the night they ran. A forgotten sister. A betrayed son. A kingdom built without them. And a family Serena and Marcel will burn the world to protect. In New Orleans, blood ties are powerful. But the wounds of abandonment cut deeper than immortality.

Tim Drake has always done what was expected of him. He stepped into the Robin mantle when Gotham needed him, stepped aside when Damian claimed it, and rebuilt himself as Red Robin without complaint. When Bruce began to slow down, Tim quietly took the reins of Wayne Enterprises, determined to give the man who raised him a chance to breathe. Responsibility was second nature. Sacrifice was familiar. Romance... was not. So when a boardroom full of shareholders demanded to know when their young CEO planned to settle down-or if he intended to follow Bruce's infamous playboy footsteps-Tim panicked. He didn't have time to date. He barely had time to sleep. In a moment of desperation, he asked his secretary for a list of potential partners. Any gender. No expectations. Just someone who could stand beside him long enough to silence the gossip. That's when he saw her. Penelope Jackson-a sharp-eyed, battle-worn young woman with a past full of monsters and a present full of bills. A demigod trying to survive the mortal world without a safety net. She needed stability. He needed a solution. An arrangement made too much sense. Public events, charity galas, a few staged photos. A roof over her head, financial security, and no questions asked. Neither of them expected anything more. But as Gotham's golden boy and the daughter of the sea navigate their carefully crafted façade, lines blur. Pretend touches linger. Shared glances spark. And Tim Drake-who has spent his entire life choosing duty over desire-finds himself falling for the one person he was never supposed to love. In a city built on secrets, their biggest risk isn't being discovered. It's admitting the truth to themselves.
