Jade believed he had unraveled the truth. But when a cryptic message from an unknown source pulls them back into the shadows, they realize their fight is far from over.

Broken Shell Of Hope by redbean657

Adeline Jade had always been alone. She had no father to call her "princess," no mother to hold her, no grandparents to cherish her, and no siblings to play with. She wandered through a world determined to isolate her, wrapped in a loneliness that filled every empty room and silent night. Loneliness was all she had ever known, her only constant companion. But this was about to change, though she had no idea that her life was going to change. Soon, the universe would disrupt her quiet life. Shadows from a past she didn't know existed were closing in, bringing both new connections and painful truths. Adeline was about to discover a hidden world, one that could either fulfill her deepest desires or bring her great sorrow. I cannot express enough how tired I am of reading the same story about the missing daughter of mafia again and again. Its frustrating. I want something new to read, and if I can't find it, what's better than writing it yourself? I don't want anything that you see in every story ever.

EMPIRE OF SECRETS: LOVING GOTTI by agnello04

Velour tracksuits, gold chains, and the low rumble of idling engines outside family-owned pizzerias. Early 2000s New York-where loyalty is currency, power is inherited, and the American Dream still comes with an Italian price: respect, revenge, and blood. The Gotti name isn't just known-it's legendary. A dynasty built on loyalty and fear, draped in designer suits and the weight of an empire that never truly let go of its past. Their world is gold-plated, laced with luxury, but beneath the surface? Secrets fester, alliances shift, and enemies watch-waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Mina never meant to get tangled up in their empire, but the Gottis don't just let people walk away. Between lavish parties and whispered threats, loyalty is a game played in blood, love is a dangerous gamble, and betrayal is always closer than it seems. With rival families circling and the past refusing to stay buried, one truth remains: in a world built on power and revenge, survival comes at a cost- and not everyone can afford to make it out alive.
