Starving Lips

WARNING: This story contains themes of domestic abuse, loneliness, torture, and love.

Life must go on when Ariana Vernan's parents pass away, even if it means moving to a new country and leaving old memories behind.

Unaware of the monsters in disguise she calls family, Ariana begins to suffer abuse from her three brothers behind closed doors.

Whether at school, where no one knows her, or at home, where she's abused, Ariana lives under a fake identity, Apple Rye, and leads a lonely life.

But when she has to share a room with Roman Vault, the principal's son and her brother's best friend, on a school trip, could it change her life forever?
