"It's not what we are but what we do that defines us." Aylin Black has come to believe that she deserves all the misfortunes life throws at her. Yet she refuses to back down. At least not without a fight. But as her past comes knocking at her door she's forced to rethink all her beliefs. And she just might have to give up this losing fight much sooner than she expected.

Some ghosts never die. For William Slate, there's always been his troubled older brother Charlie. When Charlie left home in the aftermath of a violent confrontation, scars and a childhood cut short was the legacy he left behind. Seven years later, William Slate is finally in control, and he won't give that up for anything. Athena Slate is an open book. Self-reliant and brutally honest, she refuses to let anything get in her way. Not an increasingly distant twin brother, not a best friend she hasn't seen in months, and certainly not the things people start to say about her at school... When their father announces that Charlie is returning home, Will and Athena must navigate minefields of memory and family. ⭐️FEATURED by @StoriesUndiscovered, @YA, @CommunityTeam, and @NewAdult ⭐️

The Peretti family was dangerous. They always had been. The brothers were drowning in darkness, with only blood and the stench of money to comfort them. Then came their little sister. A tiny bundle of light who became the brothers' whole world in a matter of seconds, and showed them there was more to life than death. Until she was cruelly ripped away from their bloodied yet protective grasp. Her disappearance left them in a thicker darkness than before, so when their world appears again, will she be able to guide them out of their misery, or will she fall victim to her own darkness? The bonds of family are strong, but are they strong enough to weave a broken family back together?

The separation from her brothers and father had affected her in ways even she couldn't understand. Her mother's manipulative nature wasn't exactly the comfort she needed but she worked with it and went on with life.

With understandable reluctance, she agrees to live with them. But dark truth comes forward as Astria realizes that her whole life was just a web of lies and she may never be the same again. On top of this, it just turns out that life with her brothers may not be as easy as she had assumed, it might as well be worse than one with her mother. And when her brothers persuade her to live with them, unknown to what's happening with their little sister, life just gets ten times worse for Astria. *** #1 in brothers - 19/11/2021 #1 in support - 1/10/2021 #1 in annoying - 31/10/2021 #1 in studies -1/2/2022 #1 in abused -13/3/2022 #1 in siblings -15/3/2022 #1 in manipulation -24/4/2022

"I love it when you beg," laughed Vincent as he dragged Riley to her bedroom. Shoving her into the bedroom he closed the door behind him, turning the lock. "How long do I have?" asked Vincent as he sauntered up to Riley who backed herself against the wall. "Not long, Jason will be back any minute now," lied Riley, her heart beating hard in her chest. Vincent placed his arms on either side of Riley's body, trapping her in while dipping his head to her eye level. "I think my little birdy is lying to me," he smirked. "Now tell me, how long do I have," he asked again, pulling out a knife from his pocket and sliding it up Riley's back underneath her hoodie. He pressed the knife into the flesh of her back and started to press down, cutting slowly into her skin. "Tell me," he repeated. "Thr..ee h..hours," sobbed out Riley. // WARNING: This story contains themes of self harm, rape and violence.

Suddenly, her estranged father is a part of her life, a prominent state senator who's been absent since Bronwyn was born, a product of her parents' secretive affair.
