Violet Nevaeh never had a real childhood. Her so-called parents were cold, cruel, and controlling-always telling her she wasn't enough, punishing her for the smallest things, even forcing her to starve. She grew up bruised, quiet, and scared... but somehow still holding on. Then one day, everything changed. They died in a car crash-and she felt nothing. That's when she found out the truth: they weren't her real parents. They had kidnapped her when she was two. Thrown into social care, Violet learns she has six older brothers-rich, powerful, and dead serious about protecting her. But there's a catch: they're part of the mafia. Now, she's stuck between the life she escaped and the one she never saw coming. Can she learn to trust again? Or will the past keep chasing her, no matter where she goes?

"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. She made sure that her life at home was hidden no matter how much it broke her. What happens when her family is gone and she comes to know that she is not really who she thinks she is? 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.

I felt the tears rise and I looked down for a minute, gathering all of my resolve. I looked up again and stared him right in the eye. "You know what? I trusted you!" I jabbed my finger in his chest and he recoiled. "I trusted you and you broke my trust. I trusted you to keep the secret. I trusted you enough to tell you everything. I trusted you to keep my trust. I trusted you." I told him and he flinched as my voice broke in the end. I looked away from him and at everyone else in the room. "And you wonder why I never trust. You know what? I can't do this. I'm done." I scoffed and shoved past Aiden but paused at the door, not looking back. "Oh, and if you are still curious? Go ahead and hack into the file. Don't say that I didn't warn you." ************************************************************** Alexis and Aiden are siblings with Aiden being 11 months older than her. With a neglectful mother and an abusing step dad, these two face the world on their own with no one to help them out. When they get a chance at a new life, they jump at it.
