A girl born into the world as a slave, after her mother was brutally raped by the Master's son. When you hear this, you automatically think about the South in a time where slavery was common and every prominent family had them breaking their backs day in and day out.
But what if this isn't something that happened ages ago, in a time when humans had different mentalities? What if this was something happening on this very day?
Isabella Marie Swan is that girl and she is born into this very modern time. Only something is different about her. She isn't born in the hospital, nor is she born in a comfortable home surrounded by midwives. Isabella Marie Swan is born to a slave and in midst of filth and desolation. She's born in a barn, like a common animal.
On her sixteenth birthday the most terrifying thing happens to her. She is being sold. Only what seems to be a bad thing, might actually be the chance she needs.
Carlisle Cullen, although he seems volatile at times, is not a cruel master. And he is nothing compared to Charles Swan, Isabella's previous owner and father.
Carlisle lives alone with his three sons; Jasper, Emmett and Edward. They confuse Isabella from the very first day, because they are nothing like her previous Master.
They even try to engage her in everyday activities, such as watching TV, going to football games and parties.
Isabella doesn't instantly respond well to these things. She is too traumatized and too frightened of crossing a certain line. The fear ingrained in her from what experience taught her so far, has left her meek and empty. She has completely closed herself off and the Cullens' attempts of engaging her into the family life are often ignored. Either that or she just participates out of fear, thinking she has to obey them.
They don't give up on her though and when feelings arise for the youngest Cullen son, Isabella finds herself more willing to let go of the things her former upbringing brought forth.
Edward is the son of Carlisle Cullen, which is a name feared by many. His bloodline offers him many advantages, because of his connections to the mafia. He has easy access to drugs, weapons, etc. And he doesn't lack any female company. He's a great quarterback, with only increases the amount of attention he gets and he loves every second of it.
Let's just say, he's the typical cocky, arrogant son of a bitch that no one really likes. He causes trouble constantly and doesn't care about anything but himself.
He is the famous 'Principe della mafia' and his only prospect in life is to follow in his father's footsteps.
Until Isabella, or 'La mia bella ragazza' takes a complete hold of his heart and turns his world upside down.
Secrets that have been buried for years start coming to light. And let me tell you, those mobsters have a whole lot of skeletons in their closet. Kill or be killed, betrayal from all sides and a whole lot of intrigue, accompanied with misery. You'll find it all in 'Emancipation Proclamation' by kharizzmatik.
Personally, I hate and love this story. It's an amazing fic and there are a lot of moments that will just take your breath away. The love story and entire setting is well thought out and fits perfectly with the storyline.
I loved how she added a lot of Italian into this story, making it more tangible. She even wrote some Russian and French lines. My hat off to kharizmatik for that.
The story is well-written and you get really lost in it. Once you start you won't be able to stop. Trust me, I know because I tried to stop several times. Every time they seem to have found their happiness, something else happens and it all falls apart. It pissed me off more than once. But still, I couldn't stop reading.
The story has an amazingly strong plot and all the details fit perfectly. You can tell a lot of research and work went into it.
If you have a strong heart and love those truly heartfelt stories, you MUST read this one.
It's amazing in every way.
See you all next week!
Love,
