Familia Book Novels & Stories

Her family is shocked and angry at first, but as they listen to her story, they begin to understand the importance of what she has discovered. They realize that the secrets of the past must be brought to light, and they work together to uncover more of the truth. They discover that the book is part of a larger story, one that reaches back through the centuries. As the family delves deeper into the mystery, they discover that they are descended from a long line of people who have been trying to protect the book and its secrets for generations.

I slept with my lover’s father. There was no simpler way to put it and I don’t know, could we call that incest? I believe incest was sex between family members. Sleeping with people from the same family didn’t count as such and so I was relieved. That didn’t bother me, though; what bothered me was the anger building inside of me for this man. Fire didn’t seem to like him because I couldn’t explain the anger. For the first time in a long time, I was dumbstruck.

"A good wife brings prosperity to generations. A wicked one ruins an entire family. Choose wisely." As the night deepened, the family gathered to keep vigil beside the caskets. Kelly, unwelcome among them, shrank into a corner, her presence tolerated but barely acknowledged. I found her there later. "Zarrick's finished," I told her softly. "And when I leave him, I'll make sure he walks away with nothing. If you're willing to stay with him then, when he's broke and ruined, then maybe—just maybe—I'll believe your love is real."

Miska winked, teasing her sister. Hearing her brother's wish, Michael pinched her cheek. Born into the Syailendra family, which people say is already rich with seven generations, Michael lives in wealth. Moreover, he is the first of three children and the only son, therefore almost all of his family's companies are currently holding him because his father had a stroke. His two younger siblings did not want to continue the family business and chose to realize their dreams, Miska, who is a professional model, will now become one of the iconic fashion models to be held in Paris. While, his younger sister Melody Andrea Syailendra became a surgeon. "So you came to your brother's party tonight, ri

It felt like progress, like actively doing something instead of just reacting to problems. At the library, Isabella checked out every book Dr. Chen had recommended. Stories about single mothers and daughters. Books showing different family structures. Age-appropriate stories about dealing with big feelings. That evening, she read one to Lily before bed. It was about a little bear being raised by just her mama bear, finding joy and adventure despite missing her papa bear. "Is that like us?" Lily asked when Isabella finished. "A little bit. We're our own kind of family. Just you and me and all the people who love us."

I thought—maybe they missed me. I left Eva’s estate with my heart wide open, expecting warmth. A reunion. Maybe even love. What I got was ice. My family looked at me like I was a stranger. My mother barely acknowledged me. And the father who once kissed my forehead goodnight? He was silent. Distant. Like I’d imagined every good moment between us. Home wasn’t a home. It was purgatory.

Sisters. Family.

As far as family goes, they’re all I have… and Tyler doesn’t know anyone else. The thought hits me out of nowhere. They’re my family—but is Tyler part of it now, just because we’re married? Even though the marriage wasn’t planned and I’m only staying here for three months? What do I even call him that doesn't sound strange? He’s my husband… but is he a part of my family? This wasn’t supposed to be so complicated. When I reach my room, I unlock my phone. Several missed calls from my uncle and aunt. Two messages from Max. One from Vanessa. A few emails—definitely work-related—so I ignore them.

“We were Family. Do you know what that means in the Bratva?” I shake my head. “I barely know what family is anymore.” “Well, in the Bratva, Family is the unseen force that holds everything together. In the blood, there are cells, and these cells are a collection of molecules, and these are a collection of atoms. These atoms, they are held together by an invisible force, the willpower of the universe, and I believe this extends back up to the animal kingdom, and to Family in particular.” I wasn’t expecting such a deep explanation from him, and I’m already captivated. I lean forward, clasping my hands together as I soak up every word he utters.

Then she said, "I'm showing you that this doesn't have to feel weird or wrong." "Masturbating with my mother's help?" I asked, but it wasn't exactly a protest. My cock was tingling so much that it had taken over my rationality. She cooed softly in my ear, continuing to make my hand move up and down my shaft. She shifted beneath me, and I felt the heat from her crotch move to my other ass cheek. "That being sexual around a family member isn't a bad thing," my mom whispered. Then she added, "And there's nobody on earth who you are closer to than your sister."
