Gianna, the woman he never married, and her three daughters: Beatrice, Sarah, and Avery. They weren't related to Leo. Not by blood, and definitely not by law. When his father died two years later, Leo lost his place in his house, he was turned into an errand boy, a servant. And what followed next, was two years of humiliation. Of being treated like a beggar in a home that once belonged to him. Of being reminded, every single day, that he was nothing. But what happens when Leo snaps? What happens when Leo discovers the ultimate secret that could get him everything he had once lost? He claims it all. (Note: This is the longer version of Leo's story. Fucking my step-family into submission)
