Shattered

The childs gone. The dreams gone. I've become comfortably numb Valentina Lombardi has been through a lifetime of trauma throughout her years. From her absentee, abusive father who's neglected her all her life to her even more abusive legal guardian who's been the one to traumatize her. A trip to what she sees as her second bedroom, the police station, takes a turn of events with a piece of information she receives that changes everything. Zane Marino, leader of the Marino mafia, and Raul Romano, one of his top men. Dead. The two men who've destroyed her are now out of her life, a miracle to her. Now, she's being thrown into the custody of her eight older brothers she never knew she had. Her biological family. Not to mention, her eldest brother who's now her legal guardian, also happens to be the leader of the Sicilian mafia. Her "father's" pure enemy. What happens when she has to learn to deal with the infamous, ruthless Lombardi brothers, the ones she was raised to hate? Marino through adoption and Lombardi by blood. A dangerous mix. Throw trauma, boys, secrets, and utter chaos into the mix. How will it all play out when her inner demon's come to the surface, making everything unravel right under her two feet?

I was looking for mute ♤He was leaned up against the wall, examining what I did to the place and I caught a small smile cracking on his face which went straight back to his serious expression as soon as he was aware of my presence.I walked out of my closet and towards him while keeping a good distance. He sighed before speaking while nudging his head towards the hallway, "Come on, dinner's ready. It's time to meet everyone."Great. I've only gotta deal with these people for two more years and I'm out.I've got this.Why do I still wanna make a good impression though-Ugh. Me and my need for a male figure in my life that actually likes me-Valentina. Chill.

Chapter: 2 | A New Start

♤ The quickest way to self destruction is to push everyone away ♤I now found myself waiting at the pick up area of the airport like an idiot. I was annoyed beyond ones imagination because I was told that one of my "brothers" was supposed to be picking me up but I've been waiting here for twenty minutes now.There's also a grin on my face though since I didn't have to go through airport security because of the whole private jet thing.My favourite suitcase was the closest to me out of all of my luggage. In it, the largest carrier out of everything, my firearms, big and small, my hand combat weapons, my trusty edibles, some cigarettes, a bit of alcohol-To sum it up, my version therapy.Aka, avoiding your problems by slowly killing your insides!I groaned out in frustration as I pulled out my phone and began passing the time on it, bored out of my mind but my attention was brought up to the attractive as fuck sports car that had abruptly pulled up in front of me.I might've been drooli

Chapter: 1 | Don’t Smirk

♤ I had my shit together once. I was five. ♤Phone in hand, my body felt like I was walking on air, yet fear was still taking over ninety-seven percent of my body. The other three percent? Alcohol.I've learned how to see who's present, know when things are about to go wrong, you get the idea. The typical's of a fucked up teenage girl... who also has been "trained" as a mafia princess for years in a horrid, traumatizing way.I tip-toed my way into the foyer thats lit up by the golden light shining down from the chandelier, as always.Does this guy ever turn off the lights around here?What am I saying. He's a rich asshat. Of course he doesn't.I rolled my eyes at my thoughts before continuing to make my way towards the stairs with caution. I squinted my eyes shut, silently praying that I wouldn't make noise as I skipped the first step of the huge ballroom like staircase which always has an unpredictable squeak.My face dropped when the second step decided to gain a squeaking habit as
