Mira -Mireliana- had never considered herself to be a very mean girl. Sure, she'd never fail to bite back when someone attacked or offended her, but she wasn't unkind. She wasn't a bad person.
If anything, it was the opposite. She always tried to help out where she could, she tried -tried- to stay out of trouble in an attempt to not worry her family, and she truly did her best to not be a burden to those around her.
So why did it seem like no matter what she did, her brothers found her nothing more than a little nuisance that didn't know when she wasn't wanted?
Why did her father ignore her after going on and on about how much he'd always wanted a daughter to spoil? -According to her brothers, considering he'd never told her such-
But most of all, why did her mother seem to loath her so much? What could she have done for the woman to hate her to such a degree that she tried to keep their male family members away from her?
Mira tried to not let the familial isolation get to her, but she truly didn't know how much longer she could hold out here.
At least she had her best friend's home to escape to, right?
Or,
What happens when a girl isolated and scorned by her closest family members learns that she can do better? That she deserves better? And will her family realise their mistakes before it's too late?

Every young girl dreams of becoming a princess someday, right? Wrong! That wasn't my dream- far from it! I dreamt of a day where, upon reaching my eighteenth birthday, I could finally escape my neglectful "parents" who only acknowledged me when it suited them. But all that changed when I learned my 'parents' had been arrested on drug charges, and an unknown side of my 'family' had been looking for me since before I had even been born. Enter Mr. Castellucci and his seven sons, and I quickly understood why Maria had never mentioned a previous marriage or her other 'children.' These men were not the dashing princes riding white horses; they were dark, imposing, and intimidating figures. And Mr. Castellucci was determined to take me back with him to his lavish home somewhere in Italy -so far from my comparatively uncomplicated life in New Haven, Connecticut - and begin building my new life there with them. Although wary that these men had a more nefarious and sinister reason for taking a sudden interest in me than being a 'long-lost family member', they were doing an excellent job of easing me into a false sense of security by treating me like their long-awaited 'Principessa'. Desperate for their love and approval, while struggling with my inadequacies and haunted past, I was naïvely unaware of their ruthless nature and sheer power. I did not realise the scope of their 'charm' until it was too late. Far too late. Until I was precisely where they wanted me: under their thumb and control, with no prospects of ever escaping them as Maria had done before me, I was nothing more than a bird locked in a gilded cage, that they had deviously led me to believe was the price of love and safety. Let it be said once and for all: The Italian mafia did not ask; they took what they deemed as theirs to take. And I was THEIRS. _______________ This is my dark, twisted take on the popular Mafia, Older Brothers/Younger Sister, and Lost/Found Daughter/Sister tropes.

Her Side Of Silence
. On the day her twin sister "died," or that what she thought everything she knew shattered. She remembered the scream, the fall, the blood-and then the world changed. In the chaos, no one asked her what really happened. They didn't care to hear her version. Her parents, once the warmth in her world, turned cold overnight. The brothers who loved her most began to look at her like a monster. Whispers filled the house. Accusations behind closed doors. She was blamed, judged, and punished-not by strangers, but by her own blood. And then, without warning, they sent her away. A boarding school in another country, they said, as if it were for her own good. But it wasn't a school-it was a cage dressed in discipline. Far from home, far from love, she entered a place no child should ever be. Hidden behind iron gates and smiling lies, that school was a breeding ground for cruelty. Every corner held secrets. Every night was a nightmare. And no one ever came looking for her. Not a single letter. Not a single call. They forgot her- Years passed. . And then came the call. Her family wanted her to return. As if they still had the right to call her back. But the girl who left never came back-not really. What returns now is someone colder, quieter, sharper. She tells herself she feels nothing for them. That she's learned to live without love. That hatred is easier than hope. But buried beneath the years and pain, there is still a small voice inside her-a child's voice-aching to be believed, to be seen, to be forgiven for a crime she never committed. Will her family finally face what they've done? And when the truth comes out-will it set her free, or break her all over again?
Had To Be Him

Forbidden Luisa × Female! Reader
To be fair you always had a crush on Luisa Madrigal, but you were always intimidated by her too. One day your best friend and also her sister, Mirabel, makes you step out of your comfort zone and start hanging out with her to help you realize she isn't really that intimidating, but rather a big loveable baby. You of course have a slightly bad reputation for making the other girls of Encanto fall in love with you unintentionally because of your horrible jokes and awkward/silly personality. Luisa well she has the most beautiful reputation of all (almost) for always helping out and her personality was usually hidden, but was definitely there once you got to know her. As for Alma (Abuela) she never really liked you, but for the sake of Mirabel kept you around because she knew that sometimes Mirabel needed more then just her family to be happy, but the last thing she expects is her own granddaughter to fall for the one person she's never really agreed with. Its no secret that its forbidden for two girls to love one another in the small village of Encanto, but when its someone from the Madrigal family that rule just might be broken or bent a little. This is my first time writing a girlxgirl story, so if it sucks thats why. If you'd like to have me fix anything in it I can. If you have some ideas or requests that you'd like to see in the book I will try and make it happen. Updates will be slow as I work alot, so no guarantee I will be able to update everyday.⁵Complete
From Nerdy to Popular ✔
==WARNING== I wrote this a couple of years ago and it isn't well written. I am hoping to rewrite this but for now this will be up. Before you read this you should probably reconsider since the plot is cliche in the worst way possible, some scenes are hard to follow and lets not mention the multitude of spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK DONT TELL ME I DIDNT WARN YOU Now for the $H!T Description: Let me introduce myself, my name is Rhea Lyon but in school I am known as Rhea Matthews or 'nerd girl'. My father owns the largest chain of high class schools, hotels and restaurants and my mother owns the most successful range of fashion. Everyone expects their daughter to be a beautiful supermodel, but what can I say? I care more about science and maths than I do for fashion. I am someone most people would call a nerd. I stay invisible to everyone except my best friend Jessica Fawk; no one in the school even knows that I am the sister of the school football team's captain. Then one day when I come home I discover something I never thought I would encounter. I decide that the bullying has to stop. Jessica and I change completely, from the nerds to the most popular girls in school. We learn to defend ourselves, how to be confident and we never let anyone step on us anymore. And on top of all of that....well, there are guys.Complete![Till my last breath [Completed ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/101408006-256-k912070.jpg)
Till my last breath [Completed ]
Don't judge, try to know first. _________________________________ She is rude. He is polite and friendly. She is irritable. He is calm. People want to stay away from her. And he pushes people away from him. What happens when these two completely different persons become each other's company? __________________ _____________ "The more I'm trying to know you, Sid, the more I'm getting confused," I smirk, "I don't think that I can ever get you." "You better not to try," he says with a boyish grin. _ ___________________ ______ Knowing any boy's character never seemed that hard to her before, until she meets him. Getting any girl was never that hard for him, until he meets her. Both of them are not that what they show and both of them had bitter experiences in past what they don't want anyone to know. But what happens when their secrets get revealed. Will they still stay together? Or let each stay alone? [Hey people, let me tell you one thing - this story is a simple story. It doesn't contain any smuts or sexual stuff. So, if you're looking for that kind of story then don't read this. It's an innocent, clean, teenage love story, where my characters are not so good looking, not so special and not so popular. So, it's definitely not like the other teenage love stories you have read before, where the girl is described as an angel from heaven and the boy is described as a famous, handsome bad boy. I'm not insulting anybody, I just want to say that a girl doesn't need to be extremely pretty or a boy doesn't need to be insanely rich and popular to get love in their lives. "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder." So, hope you're gonna appreciate my message and give my story a big thumbs up up. Please don't forget to hit the star button if u liked my story and u can also pm me if u find any mistake or you can tell me how to make it better.]Complete

How does one go from being a normal 15 year old with the best family she could ask for to being the unknown daughter of a billionaire?

A shimmering river that will flow in whichever way you direct her and also a blubbering stumbling fool that might or might not burn down a building if left unsupervised. In her defense the ground is 'madly in love with her' and danger is a 'clingy ex'. Welcome to the life of Palak; a carefree overthinker, a sensitive rock, a withering laughing fool. She doesn't break, but she sure as hell is covered in bruises. This is Palak. An oblivious Mafia Princess. The Bubbly Heiress of Chaos.
