In a life of chaos she had only known pain. Alessandra understood that to live does not simply mean to be alive, but to survive. As a young girl she had been naive enough to think that life held a beauty that she couldn't deny. A young boy had made it convincing enough at least for the few years he was there until he disappeared like everything else in her life. It wasn't until she physically felt the horrors that took place around her and the memories that consumed her did she realize, life was better when she was numb. 

Alessandra

There was smoke in the air that night. Sirens that wailed in the distance but all I could see were the eyes of a man that faulted me. He was familiar. A light in the night that was far out of reach. It had been too long. 

It was surreal. Blinding. In the years that came I ached and dwelled within it. 

Now all I wanted was to be free. 

Free of torment and destruction. 

Free of pain. 

Elias 

I was shameless searching to suppress my past. Within the past I found myself in the present within the presence of a woman that was no longer that little girl who I remembered so vividly. 

She had changed. Formed into a creature that has seen too much. You could see the void in her eyes. The pain within her touch. 

There was no one to blame but them. 

They demoralized what was once a girl who held innocence. 

Now, all she knew was torment.

30 parts Ongoing Mature
They tell me love is a pretty lie. A cruel deception. I wouldn't know-I've never been given the chance to believe in it. A daughter of the Cosa Nostra, passed from one husband to the next like a prized possession, I have learned one thing: a woman's value is measured in obedience. But then I come back, and he's there. Enzo Mancini. Silent. Ruthless. Untouchable. Except... I have touched him. Once, before the lies. Before the fire. Before he left me with nothing but ghosts of a boy who used to stare at me like I was his only sin. Now, he looks at me like I'm his reckoning. Like he's been starving. Like he'll ruin me all over again. The worst part? I want him to. Enzo Mancini She was never supposed to know the truth of that night. The blood on my hands. The fact that I let her believe I was the monster. I told myself I could let her go. That I could watch her slip through my fingers, fall into the hands of men who never deserved her. And I did. She doesn't know what I've done for her. How many bodies I've buried. How many sins I've committed in her name. She's everything I should stay away from. Soft where I am hard. Chaos where I am order. A temptation so dangerous, it should be a death sentence. But I can't stop. I can't stop watching her, wanting her, losing sleep over the way she lingers like a curse in the nightmares she inhabits. She calls me heartless, and like everyone, I let her believe it. She doesn't know that every step she takes away from me is another step toward a man who won't live long enough to touch what's mine. I saved her from the fire long ago, the same one I caused. And now, the flames are swallowing me whole. 17+ Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*

The Silent Sister by Orphic_bae
32 parts Ongoing Mature
Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. Self-harm. Death, and more.

But how long can she survive a man who doesn't understand the word 𝘯𝘰-a man who would burn the world just to keep her in his arms? Dark. Addictive. Intoxicating. This is not a love story.
