⚠️ CHAPTER 41 - 100 ARE PAID CONTENT VIA KO-FI ⚠️ ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ 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 emotionally distressing themes, including emotional abuse, manipulation, disturbing family dynamics, morally corrupt characters, sexual assault, rape, psychological trauma, and mature content.

Audrey Briggs has never felt like she belonged. Living under the roof of cold-hearted step-parents who treat her like a burden, she's spent her life walking on eggshells, quiet, obedient, and dreaming of escape. When an envelope arrives with her name on it, everything changes. She's been accepted into the prestigious Valemont Royal Academy, a school known for transforming students into society's elite. But Valemont isn't just uniforms and courtly manners. From the moment Audrey steps onto campus, she keeps crossing paths, literally, with two boys who are strangely kind, fiercely protective, and inexplicably drawn to her. They don't know each other well, yet something about their bond feels... unbreakable. What Audrey doesn't know is that she's not alone in the world. She's not even a Briggs. She's Audrey Valestri and she has six brothers, two of whom live among her classmates, and four who operate in the shadows of power and crime. When the past catches up and secrets unravel, Audrey is forced to choose between the life she's always known and the family she never knew she had.

In the aftermath of a devastating event, a once-close family is torn apart by the burden of an ancient feud between their ancestors. The father, along with his sons, seeks refuge in the depths of South America, while the mother takes to the road across the United States, hiding with their only daughter. Five years later, a single phone call summons the brothers back to the U.S., urgently needed to help their sister. But when they arrive, they discover she isn't the only one in need of their assistance. There's someone else-someone they knew existed but had never met: their youngest sister, Estella. She was the child their mother was pregnant with when she fled their family home in Connecticut so many years ago. Now, Estella's world has been turned upside down, and the family is thrust into a heart-wrenching reunion. Told through the innocent eyes of a five-year-old girl, this is a story of a broken family struggling to protect one another from the cruel forces that have torn them apart. Will the innocence of a child be enough to heal the wounds of the past, or has time already sealed their fate forever?

Summary She's three years old. She wears tutus, throws glitter tantrums, calls murder "oopsies," and drinks her juice boxes like royalty. But she also happens to be the most protected little girl in the world-because her twelve older brothers aren't just overprotective. They're the most dangerous mafia leaders across the continent. Raised in a world of blood, power, and whispered threats, baby Aurelia "Lulu" De Rossi is the sunshine of the infamous De Rossi crime dynasty. She doesn't know bullets from bubblegum-but her brothers do. And they'll burn the world to keep her innocent. From men trying to use her, rival families who want to claim her, and even the FBI attempting to leverage her-there's no length the brothers won't go to in order to keep their baby sister safe. But when an elite assassin infiltrates their family under a false identity and begins forming a bond with little Lulu, the game changes. Because the baby everyone thought was clueless... might be hiding more than just crayons in her sparkly backpack.

[𝐃𝐮𝐞𝐭 𝟏&𝟐 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐥𝐫. 𝐌𝐲 𝐈'𝐝-𝐓𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐰𝐫𝐭𝐬] Don Marcello Salvatore does not do mercy. He does not do soft. He has never, in his entire ruthless life, done children. Then his men find a three year old girl sitting alone in a Naples warehouse at two in the morning, no name, no parents, no explanation for how she got there. Just dark curls, steady eyes, and one small hand held out, waiting for someone to take it. He takes it. Six brothers. Three uncles. A house full of cousins, allies, one Spanish mafia capo who falls just as hard as everyone else, and exactly zero people prepared for what one tiny girl is about to do to all of them. Investigator Giulia Ferraro arrives looking for answers nobody in this family has. She finds a little girl already wrapped completely around the coldest men in Italy, and a mystery that goes back further than anyone wants to admit. Some families are built by blood. This one is about to be rebuilt by a three year old who chose them first.
