Familia Fileman Novels & Stories

When I stepped closer, extending a hand toward the documents Felix instantly placed a firm palm on top of them. “The files are here,” he said, eyes glinting with something unreadable. “Shouldn’t you at least hear what I want first?” I exhaled and sank into the seat across from him. “What do you want?” Felix’s tone shifted, as he crossed his leg against the other. “These files are enough to bring down the Mancinis." My brows lifted skeptically. Felix leaned forward. “And with them gone, the Moretti family will have no competition. You, Adrian, will be the face of the country’s most powerful family. Only you can make that happen.”

Kent stopped and looked back. “Try anything stupid and everything you thought you had will disappear like a speck of dust,” the man gestured, snapping his fingers. Kent quickly rushed outside and came back in a matter of seconds with the manuscript in his hand sweating and breathing heavily. “You see? Did I have to threaten you,” the man patted Kent’s shoulder. “Don’t hurt my family. I’m just an editor,” Kent begged. “I don’t have control over the stories brought to me.” The man collected the manuscript and read the title out loud - "THE FAMILY THAT KILLS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER by Ludo Sakala."

" Damien didn't go home. Instead, he parked his car by an artificial lake overlooking the estate. He smoked one cigarette after another, the red embers glowing and fading in the darkness, the smoke doing nothing to chase away the bone-chilling cold. He recalled Sera's initial timeliness when she first arrived, how she had used her "thoughtfulness" and "consideration" to erode the family's patience for Jocelyn, how every conflict ended with her eyes brimming with tears, as if wronged... So all the clues had been there all along, they had just been blinded by so-called "guilt" and her elaborate deceptions! In less than one hour, his phone screen lit up again. A file marked "Top Secret" finishe

Vane signed off: "Don't worry about her, just get the results quickly." Dante's hands trembled violently. Every page felt soaked in Elara's blood and tears. Tucked into the last page of the file was a crumpled note, stained with old blood. In Elara's childish handwriting: "Mommy, Daddy, if I give all my blood to my sister, can you hug me? Just hug me once, like you hug her, please?" Seeing this line, Dante couldn't hold back anymore. He slammed his fist on the floor, then hurled the file against the wall.

"Shut up! It's exactly because you're our daughter that we can decide your marriage!" Miranda held my arm tightly and tried to persuade me calmly, "He's got a car, a house, and money. You'll have a comfortable life if you marry him." Carl chimed in, too. "Mr. Smith may be a bit older, but he's an honest man. You'll marry into happiness and do right by you." Even my second brother, Tony, spoke up. "That's right. Mr. Smith's not a bad man." Seeing every single family that I was related to by blood determined to sell me out, all I could feel was the chill to the bone as I shook uncontrollably.

I closed my eyes, letting the last shred of my attachment to family die. "Think whatever you want. But Mom, even if you kill yourself right now, I'm still telling everyone the truth about that matcha."

On the day I left, Jasper tried to chase after me by car, only to be caught in an accident, leaving one of his legs crippled. Fate took its time, but it didn't seem like it was much kinder to them in this life, either. The acquaintance who was relaying all this information suddenly paused, as if realizing something. "Oh, come to think of it, the real daughter of that family is also called Aria!" I smiled at him and raised the book in my hand slightly. "Oh, my name's common enough… Anyway, if you don't go right about now, you won't make it for Professor Smith's class."

"I can't go on living anymore! My own nephew is driving me to death! My son is still a manager at a big company! I'll have him expose you!" Elena raised an eyebrow and pulled out her phone to make a call. "Hello, Mr. Caleb Irving? This is Elena Monroe. I heard your company has a manager named Kevin Freeman? Yes, he's my husband's cousin. It's nothing major, but I think he has character issues and comes from a problematic family. Good, I understand... The Monroe Group will prioritize your company for next quarter's orders." Less than a minute after she hung up. Aunt Patricia's phone rang.

“I will have Monster call you, he can decide whether he wants to do this for you or not. I won’t force him to. He may have a woman somewhere I don’t know about.” I doubted he did, but I couldn't order him to seduce a woman just so I could get The Family off my back. “That’s fine. And in return, here.” Gio pushed a manilla file over the table. “I said I would do you a favour in return, Fang, and I am a man of my word.” I stared at the file without touching it. “What is it?” “Everything you need to know about your new lady friend. Her background and…”
