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

After enduring years of neglect and cruelty from her mother and stepfather, Ariana's life changes drastically when tragedy brings her under the guardianship of five brothers she's never met and they never even knew they had a sister. For her brothers, learning they have a sister is an unwelcome surprise. Suspicious and reluctant, her brothers see Aria as an outsider, a stranger disrupting the fragile balance of their lives. For Aria, their home is both a new beginning and a constant reminder of the family that left her behind. Haunted by the pain of her past, Aria struggles to adjust, her every action guarded and her trust hard to earn. As her brothers try to understand her, they begin to glimpse the scars she hides and the strength she carries. Little by little, resentment turns to empathy, and the walls between them start to crumble. But just as the siblings begin to find common ground, the secrets and trauma of Aria's old life threaten to tear them apart. Together, they must decide whether they can overcome the shadows of the past to forge a family and whether Aria can finally find a place to belong.

He is a force to be reckoned with. A lift of his finger & people are beheaded in seconds. A word from him & the streets of NY are bathed in blood. Any evil deed, you name it & he has done it. Vicious, nefarious, brutal & downright cruel. Majestic in every sense of the word. A beautiful disaster. A criminal mastermind. The undisputed lord of the crime world. No one with a beating heart & blood still pumping in their veins lives to tell the story after crossing him. Even Satan is afraid of being compared to him. He has everything a man dreams of & is everything a woman desires. She is a ball of sunshine. Not afraid to speak her mind. A ray of happiness & positivity. Brightening up everyone's day on her way, even the man on a verge of death. Always so full of energy. The spark in her perents' eyes & the smile on her friends' lips. The embodiment of beauty with brains. Exquisiteness in its truest form. Innocent, naive but not scared of anyone. Sometimes a bit stupid but not gullible. She has everything a woman envies of & is everything a man desires. Or so they thought until... For him, she is a mirage. An unending pool of light in his dark world made up by his illusional mind which he didn't even know he craved before she came along. Just in this case, his mirage is adamant on quenching his thirst & he too won't let it go unless he redeems himself in her sanctity. For her, he is an enigma. A puzzle who has hidden his own pieces. A riddle no one dares to solve. A mystery yet to unfold. Dark clouds surround him. Hiding his emotions under their shadow that are craving her light desperately. Forces trying to separate them are endless. But if together, their love can conquer the world. An inevitable phenomenon is what they are. A love so intense comes only in ages that has the ability to defame even Shakespeare & it'll be a shame to the Gods if they didn't make them the endgame. Because, Lord help! They will raise hell if they do not end up together.
