SEQUEL - CANNOT BE READ AS A STANDALONE
Three years ago, he vanished - no goodbye, no explanation. Just silence.
Now seventeen, Cecelia Bonetti has learned to live with that silence. She's grown into her strength, anchored by the fierce love of her brothers and the pieces of herself she's slowly put back together.
But then - on the first day of senior year - he walks in.
Zaiden Black.
Only this isn't the boy she once knew. This is someone else entirely.
Six-foot-four. Broad. Scarred. His eyes are colder now, carved from something darker. His presence is unignorable, yet he pretends she doesn't exist.
He vowed to keep his distance. To stay cold. Unreachable.
But Cecelia was never just a memory. And the more he tries to turn away, the more something fierce and protective stirs beneath the armor he's built.
He thought walking away would be the hardest part.
He was wrong.

Found
Natalie is 15 living with her abusive step father. She is having a normal day, well not normal at all but normal for her, when she finds out that he has passed away. She doesn't know how to feel, on one hand she hated her step father but on the other hand he was all she had. She goes to the station expecting the classic "we'll put you into the system" but finds out that she has 6 older brothers who have been searching for her since she was taken from them. Natalie only has one rule: Don't trust men. But how will she react when these new men in her life treat her with nothing but love, well all except for one. Will they break down her wall and see that broken teenager inside or will her years of abuse keep her isolated from her refound family. If that wasn't enough drama for her 'new life', out of nowhere she finds out there is someone watching her. She found them but he found her TW: mentions of abuse, rape, strong language. This is my first story so please be mindful and I also suck at descriptions but I would appreciate anyone who reads xx.

Finding Her - Saving Them
It's been 13 years, but her brothers never gave up looking for her. Everything they did, she was in the back of their minds. Where was she? Why couldn't they find her? Was she ok? An unfortunate event led them together, but things are never as easy as they seem. Any similarities between the story and characters and other works are unintentional. I am trying to keep bringing in new ideas despite the storyline of brothers finding their missing sister being common. 8/15/25 - #1 in "Italian Mafia" 8/22/25 - #1 in"Overprotectiveolderbrothers" 8/28/25 - #20 in "lostandfound" 9/23/25 - #2 in "abuse" 11/7/25 - #20 in "longlostsister"Complete

BEAUTIFULLY DESTROYED
Copyright Β© 2024 by xphoenixo BEAUTIFULLY DESTROYED ELIXIR SERIES | BOOK 1 ΓΓΓ Everything around her was chaotic. Lights were flickering on and off, casting wild shadows across the room. Sparks flew from broken wires, and the stench of burning plastic filled the air. But through it all, she heard the sound of slow footsteps approaching her. A pair of black boots stepped into her blurry line of vision. She tried to lift her head, but it felt like it weighed a ton. All she could do was lie there, soaked and shaking, staring up at the figure that loomed over her. He crouched down, his cold dark eyes gleaming with a twisted kind of pride. The one who smiled when she screamed. "Finally," he whispered, his voice smooth and calm, like he was congratulating her on passing a test. "My beautiful creation... ready to take on the world." Evelyn's heart pounded in her chest. She wanted to move, to fight, but she was too weak. The power that had burst out of her was gone, leaving her empty and drained. All she could do was glare up at him, her vision fading as exhaustion swallowed her whole. The last thing she saw before the darkness took her was his cruel smile, and she knew - this was far from over. He had won this time. But deep inside her, there was still a spark. And one day, that spark would become a fire that would burn him and all the monsters like him to ash. But for now, all she could do was survive. And wait. Because she has nothing to lose but him?Complete
