A slap here.
A punch there.
A kick in the ribs.
Yeah, I can handle that.
But what breaks me are the names.
Bitch
Whore
Slut
Worthless
Disappointment
I have lost count of all the transgressions caused by my mother and stepfather, but as much as I want to, it doesn't matter because my mind will never allow me to forget the horrors I have experienced.
After all these years, between the bruises, the scars, and the nightmares, the mental pain is worse than any physical pain that I have endured; it has left me truly fucked in the head to the point that I fear that there is no return.

Katerina is a 15-year-old girl who has been abused by her mother for as long as she can remember. Having almost nothing that she cares about in the world except for her love of music and photography, she survives with only the help of a few dangerous friends that she has befriended along the way. Strangely enough, the group happens to be a part of the Russian Mafia, thankfully a group that happens to care for the strays that they pick up along the way.
——
After the death of her mother and stepfather, she learns that she is not alone in the world.
All her life she thought that she was an only child, but little did she know that she had five brothers who had been searching for her for the past decade.
——
Will Kate finally be able to overcome her dark past and love again, or will she stay cold and closed off from the world forever?
Will her brothers finally be able to break down the walls that she has spent years building?
Will she let them see her for who she truly is?
Or will they cause her to fortify her walls and hide behind her mask forever?
