Elliana: Their Precious Princess [#𝗗𝘂𝗲𝘁 𝟭]
[𝐃𝐮𝐞𝐭 𝟏&𝟐 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐥𝐫. 𝐌𝐲 𝐈'𝐝-𝐓𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐰𝐫𝐭𝐬] Don Marcello Salvatore does not do mercy. He does not do soft. He has never, in his entire ruthless life, done children. Then his men find a three year old girl sitting alone in a Naples warehouse at two in the morning, no name, no parents, no explanation for how she got there. Just dark curls, steady eyes, and one small hand held out, waiting for someone to take it. He takes it. Six brothers. Three uncles. A house full of cousins, allies, one Spanish mafia capo who falls just as hard as everyone else, and exactly zero people prepared for what one tiny girl is about to do to all of them. Investigator Giulia Ferraro arrives looking for answers nobody in this family has. She finds a little girl already wrapped completely around the coldest men in Italy, and a mystery that goes back further than anyone wants to admit. Some families are built by blood. This one is about to be rebuilt by a three year old who chose them first.

𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬
In a world where hearts were easily broken, he chose to have none. A powerful businessman, cold and untouchable, lived a life built on silence and control. He never spoke with warmth, never cared enough to stay, and never allowed anyone close enough to hurt him. Emotions were nothing but distractions-and he had buried his long ago. Until one night... everything changed. He found her-alone, trembling, and fragile like a piece of glass ready to shatter. Her eyes held fear, her silence carried pain, and her small hands clutched onto nothing... as if she had already lost everything. For the first time, he didn't walk away. He didn't know why he stopped. He didn't know why her tears affected him. But something in her broken existence reached the part of him he thought was long dead. She was scared of everything... even of him. Yet slowly, unknowingly, she became the reason his empty world began to feel again. He, who never believed in love, found himself learning care... patience... protection. Not as a lover- But as a brother she never had. And she, who feared the world, found safety in the arms of the man everyone else feared. But when the shadows of her past return, threatening to take her away from the only place she feels safe... Will he be able to protect her? Or will the fragile bond they built break before it can truly become a family. A story of a shattered girl and a frozen man-two souls finding warmth in a bond stronger than blood. ✨ ---
