Throat Like Glass Bones by lia_lia010

She doesn't remember the sun. Her world has always been four walls and a locked door. No windows. No choices. No voice. The only time she was allowed to leave was when her pain meant saving her sister-or when she'd been "good enough" to earn it. They took her words early on. Beat them out of her until silence became survival. Then one night, everything changed A break-in. A gunshot. A breath of air colder than she'd ever felt. And suddenly, she was alone-left by a riverbank like forgotten trash. That's where he found her. Cruel. Cold. Powerful. A man with blood on his hands and no space for weakness. The kind of man other men fear: a mafia boss with no room for broken things. But he took her in. He doesn't know her story. Doesn't ask why she flinches when he raises his voice or why she can't speak. But for reasons he can't explain, he tries to fix what the world destroyed. She's silent. He's ruthless. And somehow, they both understand each other. Because sometimes the most shattered souls speak the loudest without saying a word.

Lost Mafia Brother by gojooooooooo89

Typical 'Lost Mafia Sister', but this time as a boy. Main character is Ace, 16 years old, lives in foster homes, and with the typical abuse. But he never gives up and keeps on pushing through. He fights the abusers, and thats why he bounces around in foster homes. But by a lucky mistake, he gets sent to the police station after a nasty fight with his foster guardian. And that's when they decide to take DNA test and find out he has 6 older brothers from Italy. (THIS IS MY FIRST STORY AND ABSOLUTE SHIT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO WRITE THIS KIND, SINCE THERE'RE NOT MANY AS A 'LOST BROTHER' INSTEAD OF SISTER. ALSO ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE HEHE)

Blood of the Betrayed by olivia17carlsson34

**Summary:** After losing her entire family under tragic circumstances, a young woman is sent into a world of darkness, violence, and lies. Driven by a desperate need to uncover the truth behind her sister's death, she infiltrates a powerful and mysterious mafia organization that operates in the shadows-untouchable by the law. To get close, she builds a new identity and carefully gains the trust of those who are feared by everyone else. But the deeper she goes, the harder it becomes to separate right from wrong, revenge from love, truth from deception. Meanwhile, her past begins to catch up with her, and she must make a choice: pursue justice, or follow her heart. A story of loss, betrayal, identity, and forbidden love-where every decision could be her last. He would gladly drown a thousand times over, as long as she was the one who drowned him.
