My Dear Brothers|✓|
"You know, I always thought that this situation would play out differently." I said and their heads snapped up. Their jaws dropped and I gave them a small smile. "Am I hallucinating?" Roman murmured as he stared at me. "If you are hallucinating Isabella, then we have reached new levels of twin telepathy I did not know could be reached." Alex replied. I let out a small chuckle and unlocked the cuffs attached to their hands and they looked at me in disbelief. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Isabella has never fit in with others. She was never the most beautiful girl nor was she the most studious. She was, in a word, boring. Her life seemed plain and she made sure no one knew what was actually going on at home.

What happens when she goes to live with her brothers who she did not even know existed? (I'm sorry, I'm horrible at descriptions. Please give this story a chance.

Smille
"Her smile was never happiness. it was survival." --- To everyone else, Angel kioko Romano was the girl who had it all. She was beautiful with a unique style making her stand out. She was popular, smart, the kind of girl people wanted to be, or wanted to be with. Her laugh was contagious, her smile unforgettable, and her presence lit up every room she walked into. But no one saw what hid behind that smile. No one heard the cries she swallowed late at night. No one felt the heaviness in her heart as she pretended everything was fine. Her happiness was a mask. Her smile, a shield. And the life she showed the world was only a lie she told so she wouldn't fall apart. Because sometimes, the brightest smiles hide the darkest secrets... and Angel's secret could destroy everything. ---
