"I, William James Archibald, being of sound mind and body, do hereby declare this my last will and testament. To my beloved grandchildren, Alastair, Aurelia, Julian, Carver and Ophelia, I leave the entirety of my estate, to be divided equally amongst the five of you."
"However," Mr. Harris, the lawyer continues, his voice gaining gravity, "this inheritance comes with one condition. Before my assets are to be divided, each of you must spend six consecutive months living together here, at Arcadia Manor."

Family Comes First
Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends. What happens when her only guardian, her dad, is dead? What happens when she finds out that she has five older brothers who are not only strict and demanding, but also protective assholes? More importantly, what happens when she finds out that she was taught lies from the moment she was born? Follow Amara as she digs deeper into her family history, uncovering the secrets and discovering the lies. ___ ⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ There will be mentions of abuse, r@pe, self harm, death, and many other dark themes. I have given a warning now, and I will give a TW in each chapter when reading for safety reasons. However, I want all of my readers to know what to expect so that they can decided for themselves if they want to read.

Their Little Twin Brothers
This story revolves around twin brothers, Desmond and Demetrius, and their six older brothers. Here's the catch neither side knows the other exists. The twins have never met their father, and after years of silence, he finally decides to reveal the truth he's kept buried for eighteen years. During dinner, his oldest son, Vukasin, slams his hand on the table. "Tsk. You old bastard, you decide to tell us this now? Really? Over dinner?" His tone drips with disgust. "Eighteen years, Father. You waited eighteen years to tell us this?" The table falls silent. Vukasin glares across at him. "So what now? You want me to bring them back, huh? Can't do it yourself, can you? You always send me to fix your broken pieces." As Vukasin pushes his chair back and rises from the table, his father and younger brothers remain silent just as they always do. He's already made up his mind. He's going to find his younger brothers. Lord knows if they're living in good conditions or not, but one thing's for sure he's bringing them back, whether they like it or not. (Currently editing the story)
