The plus size girl: The mafia secret
Sheba has spent her entire life being told she is too much.
Too fat.
Too ordinary.
Too difficult to love.
Bullied for her body since childhood and constantly compared to slimmer, prettier women, Sheba learned to hide behind her intelligence. Even her own family only valued her when they needed her brilliant mind to keep their business alive.
Then she catches the man she planned to marry betraying her with the one woman she trusted most.
Her fiancé chooses her beautiful, slender best friend, while Sheba's own family takes his side and makes her believe that maybe she really was the problem.
Broken and humiliated, Sheba walks away from everyone.
But leaving her old life behind leads her somewhere she never expected.
Straight into the dangerous world of the mafia.
There, she catches the attention of Luca Verrati, the ruthless heir to one of the most powerful criminal families in the city. Unlike everyone else, Luca doesn't see Sheba as the girl who was bullied, rejected, or underestimated.
He sees her intelligence.
Her strength.
Her secrets.
And he wants to know why a woman who has spent her entire life trying to disappear is suddenly becoming impossible to ignore.
But Luca has secrets of his own—and Sheba's connection to the Verrati family may be far more dangerous than she realizes.
As her past begins colliding with the mafia's dark world, Sheba discovers that the betrayal that broke her may have been the very thing that set her free.
Because the girl everyone laughed at is no longer asking to be chosen.
She's building her own empire.
And the mafia may be the only people powerful enough to protect the secret that could destroy them all.

Chapter: Chapter 7 — Unbroken Bonds 2 The interior of the Maybach was suffocatingly warm compared to the biting rain outside, filled with the soft, high-end smell of rich leather and cedarwood. Sheba sat squeezed into the far corner of the plush back seat, clutching her damp coat around her knees. Her body wouldn't stop trembling, a violent vibration running from her core all the way to her fingertips. In the front seat, the driver pulled off his leather driving gloves and turned around with a bright, easy smile that practically cut through the tension in the car. "Hey, easy there," he said, his voice warm and full of life. "I’m Julian. Don't mind the big brooding statue sitting next to you. He looks like he bites, but I promise he’s mostly just bad for people's blood pressure." Sheba flinched slightly at the sudden friendliness, her wide brown eyes darting from Julian to the man sitting beside her. Damien didn't even blink. He didn't smile, nor did he offer a single shred of warmth. He sat in complete, rigid silence

Chapter: Chapter 6 — Unbroken BondsThe red text flashed across her monitor like an open wound in the dark room, the numbers of the digital countdown burning into her retinas. **SYSTEM DELETION PROTOCOL COMMENCED IN 00:04:59...** A cold, sickening weight dropped into the pit of Sheba’s stomach. Her heart hammered against her ribs, each strike sounding like thunder in her ears. “He’s doing it now” she thought, her breath catching in her throat as tears of pure betrayal threatened to spill over her lower lashes. Marcus wasn't even waiting for the morning light to erase her. He was downstairs in his grand study, sipping his whiskey, casually pressing a button to wipe out six months of her life, her sleep, her sweat, her blood, as if she were nothing more than a temporary glitch in his grand plan. Her hands trembled violently as she reached for the keyboard. For a fraction of a second, the familiar, suffocating voice of her mother echoed in the back of her mind, “You are nothing without this family, Sheba. You are wea

Chapter: Chapter 5 — The Perfect Daughter The icy blue glare of the laptop screen cast sharp, pale shadows across the dark wooden desk in the corner of her childhood room . Outside, the rain continued to beat an unrelenting rhythm against the glass, but inside, the only sound was the low, steady whir of the cooling fan . Sheba sat motionless, her broad shoulders braced against the wooden chair, staring at line after line of proprietary execution scripts scrolling before her eyes . Every algorithm, every automated routing protocol, and every encrypted database framework currently running the backbone of her family’s enterprise bore her thumbprint . She knew every weakness in the system . She knew every shortcut, every hidden file path, and every line of code because she had bled over them night after night while her family slept . Sheba reached to the edge of the desk and dragged the thick Manila envelope closer . She pulled out the heavy, cream colored pages of the joint venture contract and laid them beside her keyboard u

Chapter: Chapter 4 — The Pretty Best FriendThe childhood bedroom was exactly as Sheba had left it years ago . Pale walls, dark mahogany furniture, and a full-length mirror standing in the corner near the window . Sheba sat on the edge of the twin bed, her eyes fixed on that mirror .She had spent countless hours in front of that glass as a teenager, trying to figure out how to be invisible . But tonight, her eyes kept drifting to the small silver picture frame on her nightstand .In the photograph, a nineteen-year-old Sheba stood beside Mira on a sunlit beach . Mira was wearing a tiny white bikini, her long legs effortless, her collarbones sharp, and her smile glowing for the camera . Sheba stood half a step behind her, draped in an oversized black cover-up, her smile forced and stiff .Sheba reached out and picked up the frame .For fifteen years, Mira had been the "pretty one" . Everywhere they went, heads turned for Mira . Waiters gave her free drinks, strangers opened doors for her, and men tripped over themselves just to

Chapter: Chapter 3 — Her Family's Favorite WeaponThe headlights of Sheba’s car cut through the heavy rain as she pulled into the long driveway of her parents’ suburban home . The large brick house stood imposing in the dark, every room on the ground floor illuminated with warm, golden light .Sheba sat in the idling car for a moment, resting her forehead against the steering wheel . Her body felt bruised and heavy, her right hip throbbing in sharp, rhythmic beats . She had nowhere else to go tonight . Every piece of her life had been tied to the house she shared with Adrian, and walking into a hotel room looking like a bloody, sobbing mess was more exposure than her shattered dignity could endure .She stepped out of the car, pulled her wet jacket around her shoulders, and unlocked the front door .The smell of roasted meat and expensive wine hit her immediately, along with the loud, overlapping sound of laughter coming from the formal dining room . Her family was celebrating .Sheba walked down the hallway, her wet boots squeaking

Chapter: Chapter 2 — The Girl Nobody ChoseThe rain battered against the glass of Sheba’s car, blurred streaks of red and white taillights bleeding into the darkness . She sat in the driver’s seat three blocks away from the house, her fingers gripped so tightly around the steering wheel that her knuckles were bone-white . Her hip throbbed with a dull, sickening ache where she had hit the vanity, but the physical pain felt entirely distant, eclipsed by the suffocating weight in her chest .She stared into the rearview mirror . Her eyes were bloodshot, swollen, and red . Rain and dried tears had smeared across her face, and her dark hair clung in damp clumps to her forehead .“A pathetic, fat whale surrounded by literal trash”Mira’s voice echoed in her mind, sharp and ringing . It wasn't the first time Sheba had heard those words . They were simply the latest addition to an endless, cruel soundtrack that had played in the background of her entire life .She leaned her head back against the headrest, closing her eyes, and let th
