On a morning in early spring, as the sun's warmth chases away the prior night's frost and fresh buds are just beginning to bloom in window boxes, four travelers sit in a Parisian café. Each is at a different table, and each has a different story to tell. They barely acknowledge one other, too lost in their own thoughts to notice that those surrounding them aren't locals. Some are downing cups of coffee, some are eating pastries. Others are listening to the jazzy music plinking through a speaker from somewhere on their right, or reading the morning paper, which details the uplifting news of a dog being rescued from the Seine. But each is reflecting on their journey, and none of them would wish to be anywhere else.

Amalia Hera-born Amalia Romano-was stolen at the age of three, torn from a life of privilege as the heir to a powerful mafia dynasty. Fourteen years later, her family finds her, but the girl they remember is gone. In her place stands Scarlett, the world's deadliest assassin, a shadow no one suspects-except for two people who know the truth. Now, as Amalia navigates the dangerous world of the Romanos, she must face the family she doesn't trust, rebuild the broken bond with her twin sister, and protect the dark secret of who she's become. But in a world of loyalty and betrayal, will Amalia's hidden identity save her-or destroy her? -------- "You... you're Scarlett," he stammered, his voice barely more than a whisper. "They said... they said you were just a myth." "Funny," I replied, slowly advancing on him, my dagger raised, "I thought the same about fear... until I saw it on the faces of men like you." ---- 🥇Assassin -25/01/25 🥇twinsister -08/02/25 #4 mafiaprincess -02/02/25 #19 family -02/02/25 #23 reunion -02/02/25

A family that once loved her. A crime she never committed. And a past that won't stay buried. For years, Serena Rossi lived in hell, locked away in a place that felt more like a prison than a school. She was punished for a crime she didn't commit-attempting to murder her twin sister, Sofia. The truth? Buried. Now, after years of silence, Serena's called home-to a family she barely recognizes. Her parents are dead, and her twin sister is alive. But everything has changed. Sofia, the one person Serena loved more than anyone, now sees her as a monster. Her brothers? They can't forgive her. Serena's heart aches as she tries to piece together the truth-about her family, about the betrayal, and about the mother who tried to kill her to hide the twisted secrets of the past. But as the past comes rushing back, someone from the shadows is ready to finish what was started. The lies, the pain, and the broken bonds threaten to tear everything apart. Will the truth ever set them free? Or is it too late to fix what's been broken?

𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝗼 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿 His 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲 "Damm, whenever you're in my arms, I feel like I might crush you. You're so delicate," he said, kissing her cheek. "Huh?" "It took me three years to hug you, and today you let him hug you, huh?" he asked, trying to control his anger. "He is your brother," she said, trying to move from his grip. "So what? It doesn't matter. We'v been married for a month, and you didn't allow me to kiss you. But today, you hug him? I'm very upset," he said, looking straight into her eyes. "I'm sorry," she said. "I'm a very loyal and possessive man. Just because I haven't kissed or touched you doesn't mean I can't. Now, what will you do to make it up to me?" "I... I will..." "You will what?" "I will sit on your lap and feed you," she said. "From now on, you'll do this every morning and night."
