Ben:
"There's no point in fighting with you, is there?" My boss asked, dejectedly. I stay silent. I'm making my way through life. I've got Aiden and Rosa to take care of and I'm doing fine. We're getting by and Rosa's having a good childhood. And that's what matters. As long we can keep Rosa happy and healthy, I don't really care.
I'm an 18 year old boy, still in high school with a part-time job and a family to take care of. I can be reckless and rash and sometimes I might not be thinking straight. But I'll decide what's best. I'm their guardian and I'll do what I think is right. I've made it so far. I'm sure I can go a little further.
Aiden:
I put my head down on the desk, my arms covering my head as I cried. I don't want to become like our father; the same father Rosa luckily never met. I don't want her to be scared of me. I don't know if I'll be angry at her again. I don't deserve her but I don't want to let her go. The one person that can destroy my world and I'm scared she might be afraid of me.
"Aiden has his priorities straight unlike most people our age. Sure he goes fucking around half the time, but family is always his first priority. Rosa is his first priority," He emphasized. "We're the only thing that's keeping him grounded. Imagine what his life would be like if we weren't here." He would be destroying himself if anything happened. And he's only 15.
Rosa:
Rosa is sweet and good-natured and almost always happy. She learnt her manners early and always used them. She's smart for her age and is always eager to learn new things and if she doesn't understand anything, she'll tug on our jeans to explain. She has never had a hassle with anything, making it easier for Ben and I to raise her.
Rosa sat with me outside, talking about nothing in particular. I love sitting and just chatting with Rosa. She has a big imagination and always makes stories in her mind. It might be a small story about a ladybug or an entire biography of a fox.

A Safe Place To Land (My Journey Series Book 1)
After turning twenty-one, Maya sets out to find the birth mother who might explain everything. A violent encounter with a mysterious man plunges her into a darker world. He is as haunted as she is-fierce, damaged, terrifyingly tender. Their chemistry is immediate and volatile: refuge that threatens control. As Maya digs into the past, buried secrets fracture her identity and force impossible choices. Trauma refuses neat endings. Love becomes both lifeline and liability-can redemption survive, or will the darkness destroy them both? What will Maya uncover about herself and his past as she tumbles down this dark path? Is he her safe place to land? Chapter 23 Peek: "Maybe start with no more lying to her?" Miles butted in, his glare sharp enough to cut, the frustration rolling off him in waves. "Easier said than done, and you know that, Miles." I took another long drag off the cigarette, the smoke burning down my throat but doing nothing to loosen the knot in my chest. "Yeah, doesn't mean I don't believe you,you both should've been more honest," Miles shot back, shrugging like he was trying to play it casual, but his jaw was tight, and his eyes stayed locked on me, daring me to argue. "Trey just loves getting in the way and dividing people," I growled, the words coming out rough. "He singles out the weak and isolates them until he can strike. I'm not saying Maya is weak, because she's fucking not, but this motherfucker has done nothing but manipulate her." "I don't disagree with you, but this is on you, too, Gray." Miles' voice dropped, cold and direct, the frustration finally cracking through. "You fucked up - don't just blame it on the narcissistic psychopath. So does that mean if she asks us to stop keeping watch, are you going to give in?" "Well, I wouldn't really have much of a fucking choice, now would I?" I sighed, rolling my eyes as I finished the beer, the empty bottle suddenly feeling too light in my hand. Z

I ran downstairs into the living room, my heart pounding as I found all my brothers gathered around Nefeli. Her eyes were frantic, scanning the room, desperately searching for me. The scream that bastard had let out earlier must have reached her... The moment our eyes met, she practically threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around me so tightly I could barely breathe. I stood frozen for a moment, unsure of what to do. I hugged her back anyway... Even though I had no idea what was going on. "Thank God you're safe" she murmured in my ear, her voice trembling, leaving me even more confused. I glanced at my brothers. They all looked just as lost as I was. Except for Aiden and Alex. They were motioning for me to hold on. "Of course I'm okay, Nefeli. What happened?" I asked, my heart tightening. I hated seeing her like this, so worried and panicked. "I-I heard Alex and Aiden talking in Italian!" she stammered, her eyes wide with panic. "They said something about the Mafia! Are we being threatened by the Mafia?" Her voice cracked, and tears threatened to spill from her brown eyes. The room fell silent for a moment. My brothers exchanged looks, and then, without warning, we all burst into laughter. Nefeli stared at us, completely confused. Cole, finally calming down, wiped his eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Love" he said, his voice smooth, "we're not being threatened by the Mafia." he let the words settle in the air for a second. "We are the Mafia." • • • _______________________________________________________ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ Mentions of abuse, violence, harsh language, bad mental health, and light depression!

Bow Down And Beg For Mercy
(Probably gonna edit this-just grammar and plot holes. Also starts off a bit childish and cringe but get's more plot heavy as you go on!) In a world like mine, family are supposed to be the only people you can trust, the only ones who would always have your back. My family is included in that. My father trained us to be killers since we could pick up a knife. I am the youngest of six children in my family and let me say it is not cute or easy. We use each other for our own benefits, like pawns but still, we're family. We'd die for one another... at least I think we would-I personally wouldn't let them eat from my plate but I'd give them a kidney. But how strong will that bond hold when there's someone out there desperate to break it? Lies are exposed and feelings are hurt. Is this a bad time to claim the man who won't stop haunting me the moment we leave each other's presence? I'd say it is... not. While my enemies are playing checkers, I'm playing chess, with a perfect checkmate already in sight. Maybe I can play a few other games along the way, though I'm sure no one finds them as fun as I do. "What? Not so confident anymore, are you?" I twirl his hair between my fingers. He pushes me back. "D-don't do that," he breathes heavily. "Don't do what, pet?" I tilt my head. "Don't try to control me," his eyes don't meet my gaze. "My sweet Bunny, I'm not trying to control you..." I stalk towards him like a predator stalking its prey, a wolf catching its meal. When I get close enough, I put my lips to his ear, wrapping my left hand around his neck. "I do control you." I push him to his knees. "That is where you belong..." ❗️WARNING❗️ If you're going to this for smut, you will be very disappointed. I value tension and building actual romance, not just explicit physical intimacy. All pictures are from Pinterest!! I hope you enjoy! Pls comment I love reading them!!Complete

Bodyguard to lovers.... BL ~~~~~~ "So... you're saying you've thought about me...before? Like that?!" I say. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I think you'll be better if I uh...If you... if you spent some time out." Father says. I watch as he rubs his hand together repeatedly. "Father I don't understand." I say. "I'm not the right person to explain. I wish your mother was still alive. Boys that get to your age would like to be able to be away from all of this." Father says. "You're sending me away." I say my voice breaking. "No." He replies. "You are!" I say. "It's only for a short while. I don't want you to be away from me." Father says. "I'm not fragile! I can be on my own do things in my own! You're sending me away because you don't want to look at me!" I yell. "Go pack your things if you're not going to have a civil conversation with me." Father says. I scoff and go back inside. I'm hurt and I let myself cry as I pack my belongings. I hear a light tap on my open door. "It's me." I turn and see Yan. "I'll be with you." Yan says. I let him tuck the last few things in my suitcase and latch it closed. "Come on." He says lightly. I follow him down the stairs and past my father. Yan stops me and whispers to me, "Say bye to your father, please." I turn and face my father. "Father." I say plainly. "Be safe." He says. I roll my eyes and follow Yan outside. ~~~~~~Complete
