Gabriella Tettreda and her twin brother Matthew had nothing.
HAD nothing.
Before they had almost everything... except loving parents. They were awful, abusive both physically and mentally. If the twins so much as breathed too loud, there was a punishment. This started when they were four, and Matthew learned to quickly hate them. Gabi didn't. Every day, she would hold out hope that their parents would see the mistakes and start loving them.
They never did.
Out of the blue, when they were 14, Matthew proposed they kill their parents, and leave the wretched house. Poor, shocked Gabi agreed, but in the moment, she hadn't known the stain it would leave on her soul.
Gabi and Matthew were living on the streets. Begging got them everything they had, which was some cash, and two dark blue wool coats. Either way, they were grateful.
One day, a boy who looked to be the same age as the twins came, and offered them dinner. He came everyday for 2 months, until the time he was scheduled to come, he brought an elderly man.
This man was their salvation.

BTW: Some characters have been abused, but I have never gone through this, so if I get some things wrong and you know, I am so sorry.
I DO NOT OWN THE INHERITANCE GAMES PLOT AND CHARACTERS, ONLY THE ONES I HAVE CREATED.

There's a reason high school senior Athena Thorpe spends every available moment reading books: fiction is always so much better than the real world. Even the unexpected scandal she suffered thanks to Jackson Montgomery was just a blip in her typically mundane existence in Sparrow, North Carolina. But no story could ever compare to the life-altering events that occur when Gabriel Valente moves into town. Being the son of a notorious crime lord and having grown up on the streets of Manhattan, Gabriel defies all the expectations the students of Sparrow High have for him, including Athena's.
She never expected he would match her interest in the written word, or his unlikely grand gestures and definitely not the immediate but intense feelings which cause them to spiral into a secret relationship. A relationship that hinders on Gabriel's uncertain future, which could find him being the heir to the mob throne. Whether or not she wants to admit it, Athena knows the world Gabriel comes from is a dark and violent one. It's just really easy to pretend it doesn't exist within the bubble that is Sparrow. Yet, no matter how much we pretend, reality is never far away, with Gabriel and Athena learning a tragic lesson about choice and consequence a little too late.
When you finally decide what you want most in life, the next question becomes: will fate agree?
