Arabella D'Angelo is just a shell of a girl, a mere presence floating through the halls of her Los Angeles home. Her once bright grey eyes and sunshine-like spirit was crushed by the weight of her abusive parents. 

Living in a constant state of fear and despair, the sixteen year old girl endured the endless cycle of violence and cruelty that had plagued her everyday. She had learned to keep her head down, her voice silent and her pain buried deep within her fragile heart. Quiet and reserved were the only terms that could describe her closed-off persona.

But then, in a cruel yet fortunate twist of fate, a tragedy struck. Arabella's parents were killed in a mysterious but deadly car crash, the wreckage leaving behind nothing but burnt ashes. Their abrupt deaths opened the doors to a new chapter in Arabella's eventful life, as her custody was now handed over to her elder brother, Damon D'Angelo.

While Damon had everything a man could ever wish for, he didn't have that one thing, or person in this case, that he longed for everyday. His baby sister, whom he would kill or get killed for, no hesitation whatsoever. Him and his brothers were never this happier when they heard about their sister's arrival in their abode. Finally, things are looking up for them. The question is, for how long?

Join the journey of the D'Angelo siblings, who go through hell and back, facing every single challenge thrown at their face and overcoming it with everyone by their sides. After all, it is the D'Angelo blood they got running through veins.

Or will they lose their daughter for good this time. Will Avyana sacrifice herself for her family's sake? Will she get the happy ending she deserves? ••• ❝Oh my God." I breathe out, tears welling up in my eyes. "I know I've been busy with work and my mafia, but I thought we needed a little date night. Just the two of us." he says, wiping a tear from my cheek that I didn't realize had fallen. "Kayden, t-this is amazing! I love it!" I stutter and jump on him, which he catches me, and I cling like a koala. "I love you to the moon and beyond." I mumble into his neck, and he tightens his hold on me. "I love you more, baby. Always. To the moon and beyond." He rasps into my ear, and when I let go of him, we just stare into eachothers eyes for a second. Just him and I.❞ __________________________________________________________________________________ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃 - July 9th, 2024 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐃 - Dec 19th, 2024

Daniela O'Brien. Dani is the girl you would say has absolutely no luck going for her at all. Two dead parents, an estranged sister and an abusive, controlling boyfriend who's keeping one hell of a secret from her. At 21 years old she unknowingly finds herself thrown into the darkest life of them all - The Mob. Carson Agnello. The guy you would say, on the surface, has all the luck going for him. At 25 years old, he's the leader of the most powerful Italian mafia in America. He's busy fighting off the Irish Mob who are neighbouring him in New York. They're on opposite sides of the battle, he knows of her but she has no clue who he is, until one event intertwines their two lives together. They suddenly rely just on each other, they need each other. They're all each other has. ✨ "I felt sorry for you, when I saw you. I wanted to help you because you were being attacked by these men. But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide. Read with caution please. ⚠️ Completed - 26.05.21

Broken Shell Of Hope

48 parts Ongoing Mature

Adeline Jade had always been alone. She had no father to call her "princess," no mother to hold her, no grandparents to cherish her, and no siblings to play with. She wandered through a world determined to isolate her, wrapped in a loneliness that filled every empty room and silent night. Loneliness was all she had ever known, her only constant companion. But this was about to change, though she had no idea that her life was going to change. Soon, the universe would disrupt her quiet life. Shadows from a past she didn't know existed were closing in, bringing both new connections and painful truths. Adeline was about to discover a hidden world, one that could either fulfill her deepest desires or bring her great sorrow. I cannot express enough how tired I am of reading the same story about the missing daughter of mafia again and again. Its frustrating. I want something new to read, and if I can't find it, what's better than writing it yourself? I dont anything that you see in every story ever.
