brother brothers care drama healing mafia olderbrothers overprotectivebrothers rich sister stepbrother sunshine

Ivy Bright has always believed that a smile can fix anything - even when life keeps proving her wrong. Stuck in a cold mansion with a neglectful mother and a cruel stepfather, she scrubs floors and hides her pain behind a cheerful mask, convinced that kindness is the only thing she has left to give.

But everything changes when five strangers arrive, their presence dark and commanding. The Vitalo brothers - Massimo, Declan, Zayn, Jaxon, and Vale - have come to reclaim what's rightfully theirs. They expected to find their father living off their late mother's fortune. What they didn't expect was Ivy.

She's not their blood, yet something about her stirs a long-buried instinct to protect. Hardened by loss and betrayal, the brothers have forgotten what softness feels like... until they see the girl with the unbreakable smile.

They came for vengeance.
They met  her.

But can Ivy's light survive their darkness? Or will the shadows that cling to the Vitalo brothers consume her, too?All Rights Reserved

I'm sorry for that," I said, my voice wavering. "Maybe you'd all be better off without me."

The Moretti Heiress by ameliaaa_thisside

*They hated her at first... but they had no idea who she really was.* ........... Serena Carter was just trying to live-trying to find peace in the mess that was her life. But one accident changed everything. Abandoned. Alone. She was sent to live with the Morettis-four brothers and a father who wanted nothing to do with her. She was the reminder of their mother's biggest betrayal, the stain on their perfect legacy. Ten months. That's all she had to survive before she turned eighteen and walked away for good. Easy, right? Wrong. Because the Morettis might have convinced themselves they hated her, but hate was a tricky thing-it turned into obsession, into protectiveness, into something none of them were ready for. They thought they knew her, thought she was just a mistake that could be ignored. They had no idea. Because Serena had secrets-ones even she didn't fully understand. And in a world where power was everything, she was about to become the most dangerous piece on the board. She wasn't just a mistake. She was a Moretti.

Six shadows, One light by geet141

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in pastabuse #1 in nightterror on 27/02/25 #1 in running on 2/2/25, 26/4 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in abusing #2 in brokenfamily #4 in olderbrother #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #14 in siblingrivalry #18 in trauma #34 in littlesister #59 in mafia
