When My Family Became My Enemy Novels & Stories

He takes another step forward and I take one step back as he continues talking, "and a brother whose only family he's got left is you." Guilt spread through me. Maybe I was being too selfish but wouldn't anyone be? Be scared and selfish enough to run? "I have a past. I have forgotten everything. I don't feel like I belong here. I feel like a stranger to everyone and an intruder in my own house. Maybe this is a chance for me to run away." "From your family?!" his tone raises. I stopped. I wanted him to understand. I wanted him to let me go to make this easier on me. "Call me selfish but there is something that you and I don't know. Something unexplainable and insane."

Zane said, "I mean you are missing a name. Someone from before Katia. Before Delia. Someone from earlier in your life who might have a reason to want you exposed, humiliated, or hurt through the women closest to you." I looked at him. "I have already gone through every rival I have," I said. "Every man who has ever tried to undercut a deal, every competitor who lost a contract to WEG in the past decade. None of them fit. This is not about business." "That is my point," Zane said. "You are looking at business enemies. What if this is not a business enemy at all? What if it is family?" The word landed heavier than I expected. "My family does not have enemies," I said. "My family has never need

For a brief moment, he looked human just a man carrying too many battles. Something tugged at me then, unwanted and dangerous. Pity. “We’ll get her back,” he said, his tone hardening again. “But you’ll stay here.” “What? No.” “This isn’t up for debate.” I slammed my hands on the desk. “She’s my friend, Warren. She’s the only family I have left.” “And if you walk into Callen’s trap, you’ll be dead before you see her.” He stood, the full force of his authority radiating from him, but I didn’t back down.

Then he looked at Rain. "When I was young," he said slowly. "Before I was old enough to be in the pack properly, my mother used to tell me stories about Lena's family." He paused. "Not bedtime stories. The kind you tell children so they understand where they come from." He looked at the table. "She talked about a bloodline in that family. Said it surfaced once every few generations. Said when it did — the wolf that carried it was something different from anything the pack had seen." "Different how?" Damien said.

“I’d rather die than wake up in my enemy’s house.” That made her smile disappear. “My family is not your enemy,” she said immediately. I laughed harshly. “Everyone is suddenly saying that while acting exactly like enemies.” Her eyes studied me carefully. “Are you angry?” “No,” I snapped. “I’m thrilled.” She ignored my sarcasm. “You don't have to see me and my family as your enemy,” she said. “What?” Her voice softened. “We know everything about you.” That made me completely still. “Your curse. Your family. The failed ritual…”

Without our father's presence, my brother was always untamable and his anger was like a wild animal that could not be controlled. "I told you not to go near Anthonio," Bobby said, his voice stern. "His family is our enemy, and it is forbidden for us to associate with them." "But I love him," I sobbed, my heart breaking. "I can't just stop loving him." "You will learn to love Fernando, your betrothed husband," He replied, his voice unyielding. "He is of noble birth, and his family is allied with ours." "Why must you always insist on having things your way?" I demanded, my voice trembling with anger. "I am not one of your pawns to be controlled and commanded. I am your sister, and I deserve to

I was too stunned to react as the names kept playing over and over again in my head. Elijah Marchetti and his son are Leonardo Marchetti. Leo? I held my chest in pain as a suffocating feeling arose from my heart. Tears poured out of my eyes rapidly. How could the person who has shown me so much warmth be my biggest enemy? “Amira, I want you to always remember that the biggest enemy of the Delgado family is the Marchetti family,” my uncle said, giving me a light pat on the shoulder before leaving me alone. Leon's father destroyed my family and ruined my childhood. He is the reason I suffered so much.

Emily On the entire drive back, I just had a sentence of thoughts running through my mind. “One should never fall in love with a woman from a warring family.” I stare out the window, letting the words repeat themselves. I know that’s what happened with Enzo, but it’s not necessarily true with everyone. My thoughts drift to Felix. Unbeknownst to him, this makes me his enemy. My father, Fronzo Battaglia, and Felix’s family go back a long time - and none of it is good.
