Shadows of a broken heart
Prologue: (Completed) The girl who once dreamed of freedom now knows nothing but survival. Every day is a fight against the darkness that haunts her, a fight against the fists of a father and the cold cruelty of a stepmother. The home that should have been a sanctuary is instead a prison, and she is its unwilling captive. From a young age, she learned to shut off her emotions, to block out the pain, because if she didn't, it would swallow her whole. In the silence of the house, where every corner is filled with fear, she is nothing more than a shadow, invisible and ignored, except when they need someone to blame. But buried beneath the numbness, a flicker of something remains-something that refuses to die. A longing for a life beyond this suffocating world. She doesn't know it yet, but salvation is on the way. One day, a secret is uncovered: the family she's known her whole life isn't hers at all. There's another family out there, a powerful one, a mafia family, who has been searching for her. They're ready to take her in, to protect her, to give her a life she never imagined possible. But trust doesn't come easy for a girl who's been broken. And even in the arms of a family that loves her, the ghosts of her past will not let her go. The road ahead will be filled with tension, secrets, and the undeniable pull of revenge. She's been taught to feel nothing, but to heal, she must learn to feel again.
