"You lied to me" I screamed "You hid everything from me, why. Just why did you do this to me, to my siblings?" Tears began streaming down my face. "I did it to protect you, and your brothers, and your sister. I did it all for you guys" he said.

Everyone thought Ellura was just quiet... Until the day she called Noah-her voice shaking, barely a whisper. He ran to find her, but what he found in that cafeteria? Blood. Bruises. Silence. And a truth she still can't speak.

Seventeen-year-old Elara Quinn learned early that love can shatter. Ten years ago, a drive for ice cream ended in twisting metal and screams - and the death of her mother. Her father never forgave her. Her friends never stayed. Now she moves through life quiet and invisible, a ghost in her own house, a target at school, held together only by fragile hope and aching guilt. Her world is cold. Until Alexander Castellano - the ruthless, untouchable heir to a powerful crime family - notices the girl who never speaks. Everyone fears him. Everyone avoids her. So why does he look at her like he sees her scars instead of her silence? Alexander is danger dressed in elegance, violence hidden behind stillness. He shouldn't care - not about the girl with trembling hands and haunted eyes. But something in her broken softness pulls at something he thought was dead inside him. She has quiet hearts and glass bones, but he's the only one who sees the steel growing beneath her skin. Their worlds should never collide - His carved from blood and power. Hers collapsing in secrets and bruises. Yet when her past threatens to drown her and her father's cruelty grows darker, Alexander steps into her storm with fists raised and a voice that finally whispers the words she's never dared to believe: "It wasn't your fault. And I won't let anyone break you again." In a town full of liars and kings, where loyalty is currency and love is a weakness, two wounded souls learn that sometimes the softest heart belongs to the strongest fighter - and even shattered things can cut deep enough to save. This is not a story about being rescued. It's a story about rising from ruins, learning to fight back, and discovering a love powerful enough to make even monsters kneel.

They took me when I was three. Since then, I've forgotten what safety feels like... what love is supposed to be. Every scar on my body tells a story-none of them with a happy ending. By day, I protect my little brothers. By night, I fight to silence the screams echoing in my head. There's no escape from this house. Not yet. But I haven't given up. Not completely. Sometimes, I wonder... What if there's more to my past than I know? What if I wasn't meant to live like this-trapped, broken, forgotten? And what if... just maybe... Someone out there still remembers me? Someone who could love me enough to bring me back to life?
