I remember it all just like it was yesterday. The heartache, the longing for reasoning, the recurring voices in my head telling me it was all my fault. I didn't know at the time my foolish misconception about the man on Driftaway Lane was going to change my life; I wasn't prepared for the impact it had on my family. My friends. My whole being. Noone was safe.
Everywhere was danger.

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!

Forever and a Day
Mariah Shures is a nice girl with a spitfire personality and a talent for bad luck. One normal day, she walked into Walmart for her usual once-every-two-weeks shopping trip. She turned into the feminine products aisle and slammed straight into a man she definitely wasn't forgetting anytime soon. He was dreamy. Doe-brown eyes. Slicked-back, almost-black hair. Perfect eyebrows. Lashes that should be illegal. A jawline carved by petty, vengeful angels. And those lips. Those full, pink, absolutely bite-able lips. God, she wanted to taste them. "Taste them? Pfft-more like swallow them." That was her brilliant internal contribution to the universe. Totally normal. Not unhinged at all. He was breathtaking-like a marble statue with working legs... and a gun barely concealed as he reached out a hand to help her up. "Ah hell. Not this again." Because yep-fun fact-Mariah's parents made a deal with a drug lord. In exchange for seven years of unlimited drugs and cleared debts, they offered... their only daughter. Parents of the century, truly. So she's been running. Literally running. And That Guy-the one from aisle five five seconds ago-yeah, he's still chasing her. Will she escape this lunatic? Or has her luck finally run out?
Stolen-She can't run
He finally has her in his clutches. Will she escape him?......Complete
