Thirteen-year-old Marleny "Mari" Phoenix Knight isn't afraid of cops, consequences, or correction. She's been raised by chaos, hardened by the city, and stitched together with spite. But after one too many run-ins with the law, and the loss of her mother, Mari's last strike sends her somewhere worse than juvie: a Tennessee ranch owned by the father she thought had abandoned her, and the half-sister she never wanted to know.
Out here, silence speaks louder than shouting. Consequences don't come with warnings-they come with corner time, work gloves, and the sting of a belt. Her name ain't just mud-it's fire, history, and blood running deeper than the dirt beneath her boots.
They say the land don't lie.
And Mari's about to find out the truth has a way of breaking before it builds.

Isabella Ekaterina is the only daughter of the two most powerful mafia families in the world: the Di Luca Italian mafia and the Vasiliev Russian mafia. She was their little princess, and her life was supposed to be like that of a princess. However, that was not the life for little Isabella, and instead she had been followed by almost never-ending misfortunes since the day she was born. She lost her mother minutes after she came into the world, and when Isabella was three years old, she and her father suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving their family to be confused and in pain for the next thirteen years. It has been thirteen years since the incident, and Isabella is supposed to be sixteen now, but the Di Luca and Vasiliev families never gave up, and they are most determined to find out the truth about what happened to their missing princess. And during the past thirteen years since Isabella went missing, life has never been the same for the two families. The four troubled Di Luca brothers face their own version of hell, not knowing at the same time that their missing princess is also facing the worse kind of hell. What happens when they finally find their missing princess? Can Isabella and her brothers finally escape the hell they were thrown into, or are they too far into the deep to escape? Can they still continue to be a family despite spending years forgetting what the word family means?Compleet

The Bubbly Heiress of Chaos
β°ββ€ βNo, I'm fine, I'm lying on the floor again.β She's a little rabbit amidst a pack of hungry wolves. A prey amidst a pack of predators. A flickering light amidst a jungle of darkness. Her kindness is her vulnerability, a soft heartbeat in the face of merciless, sharp fangs. Yet, in the midst of this peril, there's a quiet strength, a glimmer of innocence that refuses to be extinguished. She may be small, but they aren't the only ones with secrets. 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? From skipping through life like its a path of roses to finding danger in every breath she takes? From dancing to baby shark as she walked home to playing video games in a private jet? Ask anyone, they would say she is a combination of water and fire. 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. Will she be able to keep her smile or will she end up loosing it forever?Compleet
Rascals
A story of a runaway heartbeat and the found family it dragged along. They move from place to place-half-lost, half-chosen-chasing quiet, hiding from the noise. It started with one girl trying to outrun the truth her family fed her, and grew into a mismatched group of escapees: her best friend, a boyfriend, two internet ghosts, and later, the ones who took the place of those who left. But people don't always stay. Sometimes they leave with a note. Sometimes they don't say anything at all. And sometimes... they come back. What happens when someone you loved left you for what they thought was your good-only to return when the damage's been done? What happens when grief makes room for someone new? And how do you know when the road you're running is finally home? --- Content Warning: β’Themes of death, grief, abandonment β’Found family & trauma bonding β’Emotional and psychological triggers β’Intimate/suggestive scenes (light smut)Compleet
Finding Phoenix βοΈ
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS! THERE HAS TO BE A DIFFERENT WAY; WE CAN FIND A DIFFERENT WAY!" I shouted over the deafening roar of the passing trains, hoping she could hear me. "I DO; YOU KNOW I DO, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!" she shouted back, on the verge of tears. A look of fear took over her face, but before I could turn around to see why, I collapsed. I could feel myself fading and something warm running down my neck. "That didn't have to happen," was the last thing I heard before darkness consumed me. ~ When Phoenix's relationship takes a turn for the worst, she relies on her best friends to help her make it out and protect those closest to her in the process. However, things don't go as planned, and a rescue mission ensues. She'll do anything to protect her family, but how far will she have to go, and what will it cost? ~ (Trigger warning: abusive and controlling partner) I wrote this in middle school so read at your own risk β¨not editedβ¨ might edit in the future but probably notCompleet
