'Blood runs thicker than water' they say. Those who you share the same blood as - you know your family - are meant to be more important than those who don't. But it's ironic really, the way the saying got messed up over time until it means the complete opposite. The full saying is 'The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb'. That the blood from the bonds you share with your chosen family are thicker than the water from the covalent womb you share with your blood relations.

Going from a family of 8 to 1 was a challenge for Amelia, but what happens when her 5 brothers try showing back up?

Maliyah's silence by ChelRoslyn

Some people would kill to be the daughter/son of a Mafia family. But Maliyah on the other hand wanted a normal life. A life she could run around without worrying about anything. Maliyah Santoro, the one and only daughter out of four brothers Lorenzo, Dante, Luca and Matteo Santoro. The Santoro family was one of the most notorious Mafia families, known for their control over vast territories and their involvement in various illegal enterprises. From a young age, Maliyah was exposed to the inner workings of the family business, witnessing meetings with powerful allies and rivals, and learning the unspoken rules of their world. Despite the allure of wealth and authority, Maliyah yearned for something different. She longed for the freedom to make her own choices, to live a life untainted by the shadows of her family's reputation. While her peers were concerned with school dances and weekend outings, Maliyah was often preoccupied with the constant presence of bodyguards and the ever-looming threat of violence. The once cheerful talkative Maliyah suddenly became mute at the age of nine. Her brothers and mother would often wonder what had caused such a drastic change in her demeanor. They attributed it to the pressures of their world, yet they were at a loss on how to help her. If it was a secret she was hiding? If it was a trauma she had witnessed? The family could only speculate, as Maliyah kept her silence, retreating further into her own world. Follow along on the journey of Maliyah Santoro.
