Céline is an expert at disappearing. After years of abuse, she has learned to make herself small-starving away the body that drew unwanted attention, hiding behind silence, perfecting invisibility. When her mother finally escapes and reunites with her first love-the Don of the Italian mafia and Céline's biological father-Céline is thrust into a world of impossible wealth, fiercely protective brothers, and power she doesn't yet understand. But she doesn't expect him. Perceptive, powerful, and devastatingly attractive, the heir to the Russian mafia sees past every defense she has built. Falling for the dangerous son of her father's ally means navigating a world where the greatest risk isn't being hurt again-it's finally letting herself be seen. Some loves are worth destroying yourself for. Some are worth learning to heal for instead.

The moment she entered her stepfamilies' home, everything changed. Her five stepbrothers never wanted her there. She could see it in their eyes, in their silence, in the way their smiles faded whenever she walked into a room. They were close, bonded, protective of each other... and she was the outsider who didn't belong in their world. Little things piled up-cold shoulders, ignored conversations, blame for mistakes she never made, comments that cut deeper than they realized. She tried to be good, to be patient, to prove she wasn't the enemy they imagined her to be. But no matter what she did, she was always the problem. The disruption. The unwanted addition. Her parents were happy-blinded by love, trying to balance two families. They didn't see how she shrank a little more every day. But time softens eyes. Distance reveals truths. And one day, her stepfamily begins to realize the damage they caused-not through a single moment, but through every moment they never gave her. Through the love they withheld. Through the family they built without ever opening a space for her. Now, they want to change things. To understand her. To rebuild what never had the chance to grow. To become the family they should have been. But healing takes time. Forgiveness takes courage. And rebuilding a family takes all of them. Can they earn her trust? Can she learn to believe in them? And can a family built on hurt find its way to love at last? ────────── 𓆩♡𓆪 ──────────

8 years old Aarya was raised in silence, in fear, and in chains. She never knew a life beyond bruises and rules - where food was a privilege, smiles were sins, and love was just a myth. For eight years, she lived under the iron hand of her mother and her cruel boyfriend, taught to be invisible and obedient or be punished. She didn't know family, joy, or even her own worth. Until one day, everything changed. When her abusers were arrested in a drug bust, Aarya thought she was finally free. But freedom was a lie. Because this time she is captured by a monster even more dangerous, a ghost from the underworld, long thought dead. Where she learns a truth more unbelievable than fiction: she is not alone. She is the daughter of Satyaveer Malhotra - one of the most feared mafia dons in the country - and sister to three ruthless crime lords. Thrown from hell into a den of lions, Aarya finds herself in a world she cannot understand - a world of power, guns, secrets, and brothers who speak in bullets and silence. Cold, broken, and dangerous - they don't know how to love. And neither does she. But blood remembers. And somewhere beneath the scars, loyalty, and violence... a family begins to rise..........

In a world swallowed by shadows, where ruthless hearts rule and evil walks freely, kindness is a rare bloom in a field of thorns. Among the chaos, where mercy is weakness and love is a forgotten whisper, a little light dares to shine. She is that light. But can a fragile beam of sunshine survive in a storm of cruelty? Can innocence find peace in a world built on blood and betrayal? Can love bloom in a place where it's never been truly known? Let's find out.

Eighteen-year-old Lucy Green has never known safety. Her mother is dead, and her abusive stepfather, Wyatt, controls every part of her life-what she does, where she goes, and how much she's allowed to eat. She's more servant than daughter, surviving by staying quiet and invisible. The Moretti brothers have spent fifteen years tearing the world apart searching for the sister stolen from them. Lorenzo, Valentino, Roman, Leonardo, and Xavier have followed every lead, chased every whisper. Hope has nearly burned out-until Roman sees a girl with a crescent-shaped scar above her left eyebrow. A scar only Lucia Moretti could have. One glance, and Roman knows. Once DNA confirms the truth, Roman begins to follow her-mapping her routines, the worn-down places she moves through, the small life Wyatt allows her to have. And when Roman finally witnesses the abuse happening behind the closed door of her rundown home, he steps in. But his intervention goes terribly wrong-sparking a violent chain of events that will force Lucia's worlds to collide. Dragged into danger, truth, and a family she never knew she had, Lucia must face the past stolen from her and the brothers who never stopped looking. A dark mafia drama about a stolen girl, five brothers who refuse to give up on her, and the fight to reclaim a life she never got to live.

Raised to be holy. Born into something far more dangerous. Evienne Ellery spent her life preparing for heaven. Sent away to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps by distant, unfeeling adoptive parents, she was raised by nuns and priests to be obedient, submissive and small. Behind stone chapels and cold classrooms, Evienne learned early that love was conditional, punishment was holy, and suffering was something to be endured quietly Her future was simple: be good, be faithful, and one day do her duty-marry a man who would secure her family's interests. Her life was planned. Controlled. Perfect. Until it wasn't. When everything she knows collapses, Evienne is torn from the only world she has ever known and sent to live with her biological family-six brothers who are loud, vulgar, violent, and unapologetically criminal. They don't pray. They don't obey. And they certainly don't believe in God the way she was taught. They believe in blood. With them, she learns the truth of who she really is: The lost princess of one of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Her brothers have been searching for her for years, and now that they've found her, they refuse to lose her again. In their world of power, crime, and betrayals, Evienne learns that love doesn't always look gentle-and protection often comes with a body count. But as old family feuds resurface, enemies close in, and the past she was hidden from begins to reach for her, Evienne is forced to confront an impossible question: What happens when the people you love will never be welcome in heaven-and you're no longer sure you want to go without them?

He kept his hand on my neck and inched closer to me. I turned my head slightly and he took the opportunity to nuzzle his nose in my neck. Taking in a deep breath, his hand slid from my throat and wrapped around my waist. What? I was confused and scared. "You always smell so good." He said, the vibration from his mouth tickled my neck. Suddenly the bell rang. "I-I need to get to class" I whispered and placed my hands on his shoulders and lightly pushed him back. His eyes immediately hardened as he roughly grabbed my neck and slammed me back into the wall. This time his body pressed on mine. "You'll leave when I say you can." He said as his other hand snaked into my hair and gripped it softly. "Did you really think just because our parents are getting married that things would change for you?"
