Seventeen-year-old Aria has a good life - a loving mom, a stepdad she adores, and a group of friends who make every day feel alive. Between school chaos, laughter, and late-night talks, Berlin feels like home. But everything changes the day two new boys transfer to her school. Their stares linger too long. Their questions feel too personal. And when one of them calls her by a name she doesn't recognize - a name she hasn't heard before - her world begins to fracture. What Aria doesn't know is that she isn't who she thinks she is. She was taken when she was two years old - torn from a family bound by loyalty, danger, and blood. Now her past has finally found her. As secrets unravel and shadows from the underworld close in, Aria is forced to question everything - her family, her identity, and the price of the truth waiting for her in the dark.

I wanted to stay hidden, in my apartment in South Dakota. I wanted to remain anonymous, their world knowing me as Sleuth, someone whose presence was strictly digital. Helping people find their missing loved ones. Then came a deal I couldn't refuse - literally. The Morelli family was one you just didn't say no to, and when you were on their radar, they weaved you into their way of life, their web sticking to you like glue. I promised myself I wouldn't go back to that life after growing up in it; but there was a missing girl to find. And I just happen to love solving a mystery. 'A missing sister story, where she finds herself and a family she didn't even know she wanted.' ⭐️1st in #MISSINGSISTER on the 22/12/2025

14-year-old Aria is in the foster system and has what most people like to call "an attitude problem." In her eyes, it's not an 'attitude'-it's survival. Sarcasm is her shield, silence is her weapon, and if she rolls her eyes hard enough, maybe no one will notice the way her hands shake when doors slam too loud. She's been with her current foster family for the past five years, and their abuse has been the worst of them all. The kind that hides behind locked doors and perfect smiles for the neighbors. The kind that teaches you not to flinch in public, but never lets your bruises fade in private. ♬⋆.˚ Aria doesn't cry anymore-she learned young that tears only made them angrier. Instead, she grits her teeth, sharpens her tongue, and waits for the day she can get out. Her social workers call her "difficult." Teachers call her "disruptive." But really, she's just a girl with scars people don't bother to see, carrying secrets she's too smart to share. What no one knows -not even Aria- is that the blood running through her veins carries a legacy far darker and more powerful than anything this foster family could imagine. A legacy that comes with 5 brothers who would quite literally burn the world for her
