Lacy by EvaWerner22

standalone ~ mafia siblings series I stare at the elegant man. He smiles at me. I tilt my head to the side, hands clasped behind my back. "Good day," The man begins. "I am sorry for your loss." The words sound force and rehearsed. He doesn't mean it. He wears a polished outfit: a suit, watch, church shoes. His one outfit probably costs more than my entire wardrobe. He holds out his hand. I gingerly shake it, unsure of this man. The Johnsons are nowhere in sight, and the church is empty. "I am Liam, your brother," He clarifies. Brother? My brother is dead. ~~~ Lacy was raised by a family who hated her, who didn't want her. She was made to believe she was a burden, a mistake. Despite this, Lacy remained positive. She was a ray of sweetness and sunshine, prepared to keep a smile on her face despite her dreary thoughts. The day Lacy's family dies in a freak accident, her world is thrown upside down. She is sent to live with a strange family until their funeral. Then, why does a strange man arrive to the funeral, claiming to be Lacy's long-lost brother? *I DO NOT OWN ANY PHOTOS IN THIS BOOK, CREDITS TO OWNER*

Nirvana by mellxhoney

Torn between reality and the illusions of her mind, Lucy struggles to decide whether her memories of a particular childhood friend are real, fabricated by imagination, or perhaps something else entirely, like an apparition. Following the death of her mother at only five years old, Lucy had no choice but to live alone with her father, who handled his grief poorly. By being unable to move on, he affected her life in many adverse ways. The only source of solace in her life at that time was a friendship she formed with a mysterious boy of the same town where she lived, which eventually evolved into a crush. Now, as time passed and Lucy grew older, she wanted to make sense of her earlier recollections of that boy, only to find out that he was nowhere to be found, leaving her questioning everything she once believed.
