Innocence lost at four. A mother murdered. A daughter blamed. She spent thirteen years trapped in a cage of lies into a decade-long nightmare of abusive schools and foster homes. Now, fifteen and broken, she's thrust back into the lion's den - the father and six brothers who despise her. As their venomous words echo the lies she's lived with, a fragile truth begins to surface. 

Can a family built on hatred dismantle the cage of lies they imprisoned her in, or will the weight of thirteen years of suffering crush the only chance for redemption?

The ties that bind by Hennncccy

A family that once loved her. A crime she never committed. And a past that won't stay buried. For years, Serena Rossi lived in hell, locked away in a place that felt more like a prison than a school. She was punished for a crime she didn't commit-attempting to murder her twin sister, Sofia. The truth? Buried. Now, after years of silence, Serena's called home-to a family she barely recognizes. Her parents are dead, and her twin sister is alive. But everything has changed. Sofia, the one person Serena loved more than anyone, now sees her as a monster. Her brothers? They can't forgive her. Serena's heart aches as she tries to piece together the truth-about her family, about the betrayal, and about the mother who tried to kill her to hide the twisted secrets of the past. But as the past comes rushing back, someone from the shadows is ready to finish what was started. The lies, the pain, and the broken bonds threaten to tear everything apart. Will the truth ever set them free? Or is it too late to fix what's been broken?

Blood & Bloom by LilRaynee

Eight-year-old Athena Dimitriou has never known safety. Raised by a mother who loved her but resented her, and a man who hid his violence behind closed doors, she learned early how to stay small, quiet, and invisible. Until the night everything shattered. When her mother is found dead and her stepfather vanishes, DNA results reveal an impossible truth-Athena is the illegitimate daughter of one of America's most powerful Mafia dons. Whisked away to New York, she finds herself in a palace of cold steel and burning loyalty, under the protection of five ruthless brothers who rule a criminal empire. She was born in silence. They raise her in steel. But beneath the violence lies something unexpected-soft hands, warm arms, a family that will kill for her, die for her... and teach her, at last, how to live. Book 1

Sinclair's Problem by userella

Ella Romanov was born into power, yet never belonged to it. The only daughter of the ruthless Russian Mafia family, she is the mistake they never let her forget - a burden, an inconvenience, a girl her father wished had never survived her first breath. Her wrists carry scars instead of bracelets, her silence carries secrets sharper than knives, and her existence is a quiet rebellion in a house that would rather pretend she isn't there. But Ella endures. With elegance laced in defiance, she builds her own world in the shadows - a company, a fortune, a freedom no one gave her. She is invisible to her family... until the night she arrives at the mafia gala alone, draped in black silk, and sits at the table they never set for her. That's when he sees her. Lucian Sinclair, the cold and calculating head of the Italian Mafia - a man accustomed to obedience, silence, and blood. To him, Ella is not a daughter, not a pawn, not a pretty decoration. She is a problem. Sharp-tongued, untouchable, and entirely unimpressed by the man the world fears most. And God help him he loves that about too much. He wants to understand her. She wants to destroy any man who thinks he can own her. In a world of alliances written in gunpowder and silk, she becomes the one thing he cannot control-and the one thing her family can no longer ignore. But the question is no longer who Ella is to the Romanovs. It's what Ella Romanov will become to Lucian Sinclair. His threat. His undoing. Or his only weakness.

She was the baby they blamed. The sister they forgot. Guilt runs deep. Love runs late. And time may not wait for them to make it right. She never asked for much-just to be seen, to be loved. Born the day their mother died, Lucia became the silent shadow in a broken house. Forgotten by the four brothers who once cradled and kissed her as a baby, she learned to shrink, to survive. But when a cruel illness leaves her helpless, they are forced to see what they've ignored for years-a little girl, aching for care, terrified to need them, and still loving them with everything she has. #5 in family: 27/05/2025 #1 in sad: 05/07/2025 #1 in sick: 27/05/2025 #1 in disease: 05/07/2025 #1 in rich: 31/05/2025 #2 in siblings: 24/05/2025 #1 in brothers: 24/05/2025 #1 in neglect: 31/05/2025 #1 in babysister: 31/05/2025 #1 in help: 13/07/2025 #2 in elderbrothers: 31/05/2025 1k reads: 23/05/2025 100k reads: 2/06/2025 200k reads: 15/06/2025 300k reads: 04/07/2025 400k reads: 15/08/2025 500k reads: 1/11/2025 Started: 22nd May 2025 Ended: 28th May 2025

SCARLET BONDS - Ties of Blood can CHOKE or SAVE. by Ayanawrtss

Swapped at birth, Elira and Aleyna were never meant to walk each other's paths - but destiny had other plans. Elira, once cast out, now carries scars too deep for words. Aleyna, raised in Elira's place, finds herself drawn to the sister she never knew she had - even as guilt consumes her. In the grand halls of the Moretti mansion, secrets rot beneath luxury, trust is a weapon, and family means both safety and suffocation. As destinies collide and the past refuses to stay buried, Elira must choose: escape again... or reclaim the life that was stolen from her. A story of sisterhood, love, betrayal, healing, and the fragile threads that bind us. Scarlet Bonds - Ties of Blood Can Choke or Save Some bonds are chosen. Others are written in blood.

Broken Doll by CherylZielle

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 potentially distressing themes, including abuse, sexual assault, rape, psychological trauma, and mature content.
