Dysfunctional-family Stories

Aurelia and Elara - the youngest twins and the only daughters of the De Santis family - were once the heart of their household. Inseparable, gentle, adored. Where one went, the other followed.

But everything shattered the night eight-year-old Elara was found bleeding on the floor... and Aurelia stood over her, a knife in her hand. Blamed for a crime she didn't commit, Aurelia was sent away to a strict boarding school for "troubled children." Her parents believed discipline would straighten her out. What they never imagined was the truth - the cruelty hidden behind the school's walls, the sadistic methods used to "teach," and the horrors Aurelia was forced to endure. Now sixteen, after a devastating incident inside that school, Aurelia is brought back to the De Santis mansion. But it's not a homecoming. It's an obligation. A reminder that she is unwanted, distrusted, and viewed as a threat by the very family she once loved. Follow Aurelia as she relearns how to exist in a home that no longer feels like hers. Uncover the truth of what happened that night, what really happened to her within the school, and whether the De Santis family will ever face the truth of what Aurelia had to endure and do to survive. ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── "What should I ache for?

"You wanna stay alive?" The old man asks, eyes fierce with conviction as he speaks to me, "Real world or underground, be aware of the Blacks, kid. It's the best advice one can give." I hide a grin. I live with them, after all. "Be aware?" I ask in response, "Not be beware?" "Both," The old man nods solemnly. ~~~ Alina Black, the eldest of the Black siblings, is consumed by the future. Aurora Black, the youngest and most unaware, is obsessed with the past. Both sisters wake up and go to sleep with the same word on their lips: survival. Their seven brothers stumble through the present, recklessly, in ignorance of the word. Finally reunited, the siblings must reckon not only with themselves and each other, but also the chaos of human existence - especially their family's extravagant, immoral one. ~~~ OR more briefly: The one where a long lost sister returns to her mafia family (by stalking them) with a very not cliche plot (right from the beginning, because she's proactive and stalks them) but some cliche moments that everyone loves (like the second oldest brother being the gentlest with her).
