"We're too different...I save lives and you t-take them." I said in a strong but defeated voice as the rain drenched us both and I shivered from the cold.
"I can't walk away from my lifestyle. I do what I have to do, Gabriella," he let out a laugh, looking up to the sky before looking at me again.
"You still love me Gabby, I can see it in your eyes. I can feel it in your touch. If you dedicate yourself to saving lives and capturing0 criminals then how did yo0u fall in love with a killer? Even after all of these years, how are you still in love with a mafia leader, a wanted monstrous man?" He said in a way that made me look away, feeling ashamed because it was all true.
No matter how much I can deny it my heart knows the truth, I still love my ex best friend, maybe more than I thought.

Is the girl no one really noticed. She hides her face- with all the horrid bruises present- behind a facade, and makes sure no one suspects a single thing about the hell she's met with at her home with her 'parents'.
Sure, when she gets in trouble or someone picks on her, she can defend herself perfectly fine with the way she does illegal fights and wins time after time. But it's when she's utterly alone, and locked up in her personal hell that she doesn't dare to speak up or say a thing. It's when the voices get through her that she cowers away in the shadows and doesn't dare to come out. Not even when her own life is in danger does she uses everything she's learned from that special boy with the mesmerizing smile and the kind reassuring eyes.
Zina lives in her own shadows and deals with her own demons, but what happens when a random boy on a random day, decides to show more interest in her than anyone ever did? What if he tells her something that'll change her whole life?And what happens if that particular boy claims to be related to her? And is blood really thicker than water?
Can her 5 caring brothers pull her out of her own shadows and free her from the voices calling her back? Or will she give in and be a danger to everyone around her?

"Don't break her heart." I suddenly hear Lucas speak up next to me.
"How did you know?" I ask him.
"The eyes. Everything you feel for her is displayed in your eyes." He answers me and I nod slowly.
"I won't." I say quietly to him.
"You won't what?" He says, wrinkling his brows in confusion.
"Break her heart." I finish saying.
I see him nod from the corner of my eyes, contemplating on what to say next.
"Good."
