"I've been lied to my whole life, how can I just forgive you that easily!!! Do you know how much I went through while you lived a perfect life!!!" My heart is pounding in my chest as I attempt to jump off the cliff.

"Per favore, perdonami mia principessa" (please forgive me my princess).

She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."

𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃 (This is NOT an incest story!!) 19 year old Avyana, also a very known assassin in the underworld known as Angel, living with her twin Alessio. For the first 5 years of the twins' lives, they lived happily with their two parents and 5 older brothers. On the twins' 5th birthday, they were taken by the German mafia, their family's worst enemy. The Morettis are heartbroken because the light in their dark world was taken. Alessio and Avyana hate their family because they think their family gave them up and caused them the abuse and torture they've endured. When the twins end up moving to New York, where their family lives, for a mission, will they happen to run into their family whom they hate? Will family recognize the twins? Can the twins ever forgive their family? When Avyana's dark past creeps back into her life, will she tell Alessio? Will her family find out before its too late?... Or will they lose their daughter for good this time. Will Avyana sacrifice herself for her family's sake? Will she get the happy ending she deserves? ••• ❝Oh my God." I breathe out, tears welling up in my eyes. "I know I've been busy with work and my mafia, but I thought we needed a little date night. Just the two of us." he says, wiping a tear from my cheek that I didn't realize had fallen. "Kayden, t-this is amazing! I love it!" I stutter and jump on him, which he catches me, and I cling like a koala. "I love you to the moon and beyond." I mumble into his neck, and he tightens his hold on me. "I love you more, baby. Always. To the moon and beyond." He rasps into my ear, and when I let go of him, we just stare into eachothers eyes for a second. Just him and I.❞ __________________________________________________________________________________ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃 - July 9th, 2024 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐃 - Dec 19th, 2024

Every young girl dreams of becoming a princess someday, right? Wrong! That wasn't my dream- far from it! I dreamt of a day where, upon reaching my eighteenth birthday, I could finally escape my neglectful "parents" who only acknowledged me when it suited them. But all that changed when I learned my 'parents' had been arrested on drug charges, and an unknown side of my 'family' had been looking for me since before I had even been born. Enter Mr. Castellucci and his seven sons, and I quickly understood why Maria had never mentioned a previous marriage or her other 'children.' These men were not the dashing princes riding white horses; they were dark, imposing, and intimidating figures. And Mr. Castellucci was determined to take me back with him to his lavish home somewhere in Italy -so far from my comparatively uncomplicated life in New Haven, Connecticut - and begin building my new life there with them. Although wary that these men had a more nefarious and sinister reason for taking a sudden interest in me than being a 'long-lost family member', they were doing an excellent job of easing me into a false sense of security by treating me like their long-awaited 'Principessa'. Desperate for their love and approval, while struggling with my inadequacies and haunted past, I was naïvely unaware of their ruthless nature and sheer power. I did not realise the scope of their 'charm' until it was too late. Far too late. Until I was precisely where they wanted me: under their thumb and control, with no prospects of ever escaping them as Maria had done before me, I was nothing more than a bird locked in a gilded cage, that they had deviously led me to believe was the price of love and safety. Let it be said once and for all: The Italian mafia did not ask; they took what they deemed as theirs to take. And I was THEIRS. _______________ This is my dark, twisted take on the popular Mafia, Older Brothers/Younger Sister, and Lost/Found Daughter/Sister tropes.
