**HOUSE OF STARS**
*A novel of love, legacy, and the family we choose.*
When four lifelong friends-Akari, Sora, Mizu, and Vito-find a lost five-year-old boy named Leo, everything changes.
Unmarried and untraditional, the four decide to raise Leo together, building a household rooted not in convention, but in unwavering trust and fierce love. Against the odds, and under society's watchful eye, they form a family that's as vibrant and diverse as it is devoted. From bedtime stories in four languages to tender moments over burnt dinners and late-night study sessions, the Star household becomes a safe haven-a place where love is louder than labels.
Spanning decades, *House of Stars* follows Leo from childhood to fatherhood, through heartbreaks, celebrations, quiet miracles, and inevitable goodbyes. Along the way, the bonds between the four guardians deepen in subtle, powerful ways-rings exchanged without ceremony, promises kept without words. Together, they illuminate what it means to raise a child, to grow old together, and to leave behind a legacy of light.
A sweeping tale of found family, unconditional love, and the kind of connection that never fades, *House of Stars* is a story that lingers-softly, brightly-long after the last page.

I ran downstairs into the living room, my heart pounding as I found all my brothers gathered around Nefeli. Her eyes were frantic, scanning the room, desperately searching for me. The scream that bastard had let out earlier must have reached her... The moment our eyes met, she practically threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around me so tightly I could barely breathe. I stood frozen for a moment, unsure of what to do. I hugged her back anyway... Even though I had no idea what was going on. "Thank God you're safe" she murmured in my ear, her voice trembling, leaving me even more confused. I glanced at my brothers. They all looked just as lost as I was. Except for Aiden and Alex. They were motioning for me to hold on. "Of course I'm okay, Nefeli. What happened?" I asked, my heart tightening. I hated seeing her like this, so worried and panicked. "I-I heard Alex and Aiden talking in Italian!" she stammered, her eyes wide with panic. "They said something about the Mafia! Are we being threatened by the Mafia?" Her voice cracked, and tears threatened to spill from her brown eyes. The room fell silent for a moment. My brothers exchanged looks, and then, without warning, we all burst into laughter. Nefeli stared at us, completely confused. Cole, finally calming down, wiped his eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Love" he said, his voice smooth, "we're not being threatened by the Mafia." he let the words settle in the air for a second. "We are the Mafia." • • • _______________________________________________________ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ Mentions of abuse, violence, harsh language, bad mental health, and light depression!

Talking to the Stars (Completed)
Big empty rooms. Yells echoing across the corridors. The stench of Mother's whisky breath. The sound of the clock in the dining hall where Father never eats, endlessly ticking away the hours without him. Sometimes, there are scars that don't go away. This is not a love story. It's not about magic and hope. This is the story of my life, for the times I had no one but the stars. _____ I clambered onto the roof, even if it was chilly for star watching. I needed a helping hand. “Why?” I asked the sky, the moon, the stars—anyone who would listen. But they didn’t answer. How childish of me, to talk to the stars, I was pathetic wasn’t I? Yet I tried again. “Help?” Nothing. “Talk to me you damn stars!” I shouted. Just then, a shooting star flew by, like a dashing stroke of paint, gone as quickly as it had come. It seemed that this was my chance. I said, “I wish someone would love me, as much as I love the stars.” And to those words, I went back into my room, my cell, and awaited my fate.Complete

⚠️ CHAPTER 41 - 100 ARE PAID CONTENT VIA KO-FI ⚠️ ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ The De Luca brothers reign supreme in the underworld, holding dominion over the ruthless realm of the Italian Mafia. They are cold, merciless, driven by madness, their loyalty solely to blood. Yet, their lives take an unexpected turn when they discovered their thirteen years old little sister. *** "When she was choking me, is that... love?" She whispered, her voice barely audible, each word trembling as if afraid to leave her lips. Her eyes, wide and glassy, searched mine desperately, seeking a truth that she couldn't grasp amidst the fog of confusion and despair that clouded her mind. My heart seethed with rage, a torrent of emotions crashing against the walls of my restraint, threatening to betray the stoic facade I had carefully constructed. I wanted to scream, to shake her out of this misguided belief. Hestia, my little sister, stared back at me. Her innocence tainted by the cruel hands of someone who had twisted the meaning of love into something unrecognizable. She couldn't differentiate the painfully obvious truth, the clear distinction between love and control, kindness and cruelty. It was as if the very essence of her spirit was being suffocated, just as her breath had been. ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains sensitive and emotionally distressing themes, including emotional abuse, manipulation, disturbing family dynamics, morally corrupt characters, sexual assault, rape, psychological trauma, and mature content.

Scars in our Stars
"We all carry stars, But they don't dim our Stars - They only make us shine differently." They met not at the beginning, but somewhere in the quiet middle- Ariana, a girl who buried herself in books and past regrets, and Ethan, a boy drowning beneath the weight of choices he stopped trying to explain. In a world of fleeting nights, untold truths, and whispered breakdowns, their lives stitched together in the corridors of a college far from home. With hearts bruised by grief and hands still trembling from things they couldn't undo, they found solace in late-night rooftops, music that spoke louder than words, and a friendship no one saw coming. But life isn't gentle. Sophie's death shattered them. Secrets snapped their bonds. And love-when it came-was tangled in pain. Scars in Our Stars is a raw and unfiltered story of young adults trying to make sense of life, love, loss, and themselves. It's about the guilt we carry, the friends who become family, the choices that haunt us, and the lavender feathers we leave behind. Because sometimes, the deepest scars... are the ones we share beneath the stars. ~Zephyra NoxComplete
