The Mafia Princess's Return

The Mafia Princess's Return
Thirteen years ago, Kinsley Russo vanished, taken from her bed by her own mother. Now, at sixteen, living a life of abuse and neglect, news of her 'parents' death offers a flicker of hope. But a DNA test reveals a shocking truth: she has a powerful mafia family who has been searching for her relentlessly. Pulled from a life of hardship into a world of unimaginable wealth, protection, and secrets, Kinsley must navigate her estranged family and the truth of her past while grappling with the scars of her captivity.

The piercing sound of the school bell cut through the usual cafeteria din. You sat alone in your usual corner, picking at the untouched food on your tray. Your head was low, a common posture to avoid drawing attention.

A cold knot formed in your stomach. Had someone noticed the bruises again? Or was it something else? Every eye in the cafeteria seemed to turn towards you as you slowly rose and followed him, dread coiling in your gut.
