Because secrets don't stay hidden forever-and hers could shatter everything.

⚠️‼️READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS‼️⚠️ Kalani has mastered the art of silence - not by choice, but by survival. Selectively mute and carrying a past too broken to name, she's spent her life shielding her secrets behind wide eyes and trembling hands. After the brutal loss of her mother and years under the control of a relative whose name still haunts her, Kalani and her twin brother, Kaleb, have only ever had each other. Then the police find them. But instead of being sent into foster care - something that, strangely, never happened despite years of instability - they're told someone is coming to collect them. A man they've never met. A white man. He claims to be family. He says he's their legal guardian. And without warning, they're thrown into a cold, unfamiliar world of sharp suits, marble hallways, and older half-brothers who seem more like shadows than siblings. A world of wealth, power, and secrets that run deeper than blood. As Kalani tries to navigate this new life - where silence is no longer safe, and the past feels anything but gone - she begins to uncover the truth behind her family, her father, and a legacy far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Some bonds are forged in love. Others in pain. And some? Some are written in blood. They thought they were escaping their past. But what if it just changed its face? Read 'SECRETS OF THE MUTE' and find out the story of Kalani.

They are cold, merciless, driven by madness, their loyalty solely to blood. Yet, their lives take an unexpected turn when they discovered their thirteen years old little sister. *** "When she was choking me, is that... love?" she whispered, her voice barely audible, each word trembling as if afraid to leave her lips. Her eyes, wide and glassy, searched mine desperately, seeking a truth that she couldn't grasp amidst the fog of confusion and despair that clouded her mind. My heart seethed with rage, a torrent of emotions crashing against the walls of my restraint, threatening to betray the stoic facade I had carefully constructed. I wanted to scream, to shake her out of this misguided belief. Hestia, my little sister, stared back at me. Her innocence tainted by the cruel hands of someone who had twisted the meaning of love into something unrecognizable. She couldn't differentiate the painfully obvious truth, the clear distinction between love and control, kindness and cruelty. It was as if the very essence of her spirit was being suffocated, just as her breath had been. ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ [⚠️ Chapter 41+ are paid content via Ko-fi ⚠️] ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains sensitive and potentially distressing themes, including abuse, sexual assault, rape, psychological trauma, and mature content.
