Lacy

standalone ~ mafia siblings series

I stare at the elegant man. He smiles at me. I tilt my head to the side, hands clasped behind my back.

"Good day," The man begins. "I am sorry for your loss." The words sound force and rehearsed. He doesn't mean it.

He wears a polished outfit: a suit, watch, church shoes. His one outfit probably costs more than my entire wardrobe.

He holds out his hand. I gingerly shake it, unsure of this man. The Johnsons are nowhere in sight, and the church is empty.

"I am Liam, your brother," He clarifies.

Brother?

My brother is dead.

Lacy was raised by a family who hated her, who didn't want her. She was made to believe she was a burden, a mistake.

Despite this, Lacy remained positive. She was a ray of sweetness and sunshine, prepared to keep a smile on her face despite her dreary thoughts.

The day Lacy's family dies in a freak accident, her world is thrown upside down. She is sent to live with a strange family until their funeral.

Then, why does a strange man arrive to the funeral, claiming to be Lacy's long-lost brother?
