Crimefamily Stories

In the Moretti family, blood makes you family. Loyalty keeps you together. Salvatore Moretti has spent years building his reputation as one of New York's most feared men. As head of the Moretti family, he knows that power always comes with a price. But behind closed doors, he is a husband, a father, and the man Alessa knows better than anyone. Alessandra "Alessa" Bellini Moretti is the heart of the Moretti household. Elegant, warm, and quietly strong, she holds the family together while standing beside a husband whose world is filled with secrets and danger. Salvatore and Alessa have built something powerful-a marriage founded on loyalty, trust, and an unshakable sense of "us against the world."

Matteo and Sienna. Lorenzo and Elena. Nico and Isabelle. Together, they are one family. Until the world they've spent years protecting themselves from begins to close in. Old secrets surface. Loyalties are tested. And suddenly, protecting the Moretti name means protecting the people who carry it. Because when you're a Moretti, you don't stand alone. You stand together. And sometimes, the strongest thing a family can have isn't power. It's each other.

VOWS OF VENDETTA De Laurentis × Castillo Romanov Two bloodlines. Two empires. One war. For generations, the De Laurentis and Castillo Romanov families had existed on opposite sides of the underworld. Italy against Mexico and Russia. Power against power. Blood against blood. The De Laurentis empire belonged to Zaccario Luciano De Laurentis, twenty-five, eldest heir and future Don of Italy. Ruthless, commanding, and feared, he carried the unmistakable emerald eyes of his bloodline, dark hair, sharp features, and the presence of a man born to rule. Beside him stood his younger brothers, Damiano Romano De Laurentis, twenty-three, whose cruelty surpassed even his brother's, and Rafaelle Massimo De Laurentis, twenty-two, charming enough to deceive and dangerous enough to destroy. Across the bloodline stood the Castillo Romanovs, a powerful Mexican-Russian dynasty ruled by its own code of loyalty and vengeance. Among its heirs was Isabella Castillo Romanov, twenty-two. Sassy, beautiful, fiercely independent, and dangerously hot-tempered, she possessed dark-brown hair, deep brown eyes, and light-brown skin. She was not the kind of woman who surrendered to anyone. Her brothers, Roman Salazar, twenty-five, Luka Reyes, twenty-three, and Dante Navarro, twenty-one, guarded their family's name with equal ruthlessness. Their youngest sister, Serena, twenty, completed the Castillo Romanov heirs. Then came the decision that neither empire could refuse. A forced marriage. Zaccario and Isabella were chosen to unite the very bloodlines that had spent years trying to destroy each other. No love. No trust. Only an alliance sealed by a wedding ring. But hatred has a dangerous habit of becoming obsession when two enemies are forced too close. And sometimes, the most powerful empires are not destroyed by war. They are destroyed by love. Two bloodlines. One marriage. A lifetime of vendetta.

This is not your average mafia story. This is Valentina Belladonna-heiress, beauty, and the deadliest force in her father's empire. She drifts through marble halls with a smile that could charm or kill, balancing elegance and cruelty with effortless control. Behind the gilded doors and lavish breakfasts lies a cold, calculated world where lessons are taught in fear, love is forbidden, and power is a form of art. Every choice, every move, every whispered command shapes who survives-and who learns that softness is never the same as mercy. Welcome to the life of a princess... a princess with a deadly crown.

She had traveled to Seoul expecting nothing more than a summer of ordinary adventures. Instead, she found herself inside a world where silence carried more weight than words, and danger wore the face of a man who refused to let her leave. He was younger than her, colder than the city he controlled, and entirely uninterested in being anyone's idea of a hero. A kkangpae by blood and by choice, he believed protection and possession were the same language. She believed otherwise. Their first meeting was not romantic. Their first weeks were not gentle. What grew between them happened in the spaces between arguments, through rain against window glass, in the quiet of rooms where neither dared to speak first. Then she escaped, returned to the life she had promised herself, and discovered that some departures leave deeper roots than any stay. Years later, he found her again on a Charlotte street, older and guarded, walking beside a child, his eyes. The boy did not know him. The woman who had raised him alone had no intention of sharing what she had built. But the past does not remain buried simply because the surface looks peaceful, and the organization he never abandoned had a way of reaching across oceans. This is not a redemption story. It is not a story about a dangerous man becoming safe. It is the story of a woman who learned that love could exist without rescue, and a man who spent seven years searching for the only person who ever made him question what control truly costs. © _RelleLebby_// R.

And every time I try to leave him, something stands in my way. This time, it's my life. He's the only person who could save me, and he wants to do so through marriage.

She was never supposed to be his bride. Dr. Samaira Kapoor has spent years building a life that belongs entirely to her-her career, her apartment, her patients, and a carefully guarded peace she has no intention of surrendering.

To those who know better, he is the man people call Il Fantasma-the Ghost, a Mafia Don whose name carries consequences. They meet once at a charity gala. A conversation. A little flirting. A private number Samaira never uses. It should have ended there. Instead, weeks later, Samaira learns Vincenzo is the man her cousin Anaya is expected to marry. And when the bride disappears before the wedding, Samaira is asked to take her place. Hidden beneath a veil, she walks toward a man who believes he is marrying someone else.

They were supposed to be looking for a traitor. Instead, they found a little girl. A tiny toddler, sitting alone in a cold cell, barely old enough to understand what was happening around her. She didn't know who they were. She didn't know where she was. She only knew that she was scared. The eight Volkov brothers had seen a lot in their lives. Blood, bodies, betrayal... none of it surprised them anymore. But a baby locked in a cell? That was something they couldn't just walk away from. Arabella wasn't their sister. She wasn't related to them at all. Yet somehow, within a matter of days, the little girl became the center of their entire world. The men who could make grown criminals tremble now argue over who gets to carry her. The same brothers who never cared about anyone's opinion suddenly can't say no to one tiny pair of eyes. And Arabella? She has no idea that the eight terrifying men she's slowly getting attached to are some of the most dangerous people in the Russian Bratva. She just knows that they came for her. And they stayed. Because once the Volkov brothers decide someone is family, blood doesn't matter anymore. And nobody is taking their little girl away from them.

She is the forgotten heir of an old Italian Mafia dynasty-whispered about in locked rooms and erased from family records the moment she disappeared. Once known as the only daughter of a powerful Sicilian don, she was taken away as a child during a violent betrayal meant to wipe out her bloodline. While the rest of her family vanished into prison walls, graves, and silence, she survived under a different name in a completely different world, growing up unaware of the empire that once belonged to her. Now in her late teens, she carries herself with an unexplainable kind of authority that never matches her age. There's a quiet intensity in the way she looks at people-like she's always calculating, always listening for something others can't hear. She doesn't know she comes from power, but power recognizes her anyway. Her beauty is understated but unforgettable: dark lashes, warm olive skin, and eyes that seem too old for her years, as if they've already witnessed loss she can't remember. She prefers simplicity in how she dresses, yet even that can't hide the natural elegance in her posture or the confidence in her stillness. Strange things begin to follow her as she gets older-men who bow their heads when she passes without knowing why, names she's never heard spoken with fear, and a symbol that keeps appearing in places tied to her past. The truth is closing in slowly: she is not just a lost girl. She is the last living heir to a Mafia throne that never stopped waiting for her return.
