Betrayed By Blood, Claimed By The Don

“I was born into a ruthless Mafia family, but while my twin sister Serena was treated like a golden princess, I was just the disposable pawn. I secretly broke a decade-old Syndicate decryption record, proving I was a tactical mastermind. But when the results came out, my parents and my childhood crush Luca completely ignored me. They crowded around Serena to comfort her over her failing grade, and told me my flawless score was just a system glitch. To fund Serena's initiation into the elite ranks, my mother stole my $38,000 hidden escape fund-blood money I had starved to save for eighteen years-just to buy her a gold bracelet. When I confronted them, my brother dragged me across the floor, and they locked me in my bedroom. "You are an ungrateful asset, and you should be honored to contribute to her success." I had played the obedient, slow-witted soldier my whole life, giving up my food, safety, and dignity. I couldn't understand why my own bloodline was so eager to bleed me dry just to manufacture Serena's fake perfection. They thought I was trapped in that dark room, broken and waiting for their mercy. Instead, I wiped my digital footprint, accepted a recruitment offer from the most lethal Mafia boss in New York, and climbed out the window. This time, I chose to rule the shadows myself.”
