Emotionaldetachment Stories

In a world where silence is survival... love may be the most dangerous risk of all. Abigail Snow has spent her life surviving by staying silent. Brilliant, controlled, and emotionally untouchable, Abby built walls no one could break through-walls forged in foster homes, shattered trust, and a past she never speaks of. Her life is quiet, calculated... and entirely on her own terms. Until the night a terrified, pregnant runaway collapses on her doorstep. Emily Winter arrives with nothing but fear in her eyes and a secret she can no longer run from. Against every instinct, Abby lets her in-offering shelter, safety, and the unspoken promise of protection. What begins as a reluctant arrangement transforms into something neither expected: a fragile bond formed in shared loneliness, quiet mornings, and a nursery painted in soft green. But the peace doesn't last. When tragedy strikes during childbirth, Abby finds herself caring for Emily's newborn daughter-Madison-and thrown into the crosshairs of one of the most powerful families in the world. As Abby steps into the Winter empire, dark truths unravel: impossible expectations, family demons, and a legacy Emily never had the chance to escape. Everyone wants a piece of Madison. Except Abby. Abby wants only one thing: to keep the baby alive, safe, and far from the ghosts that destroyed her mother. But Abby has secrets of her own-secrets tied to the business world, to power she never asked for, and to a past that refuses to stay buried. As the Winters close in and Emily's last wishes demand answers, Abby is forced to face the one thing she has spent her whole life avoiding: Her own heart. Heart-wrenching, atmospheric, and full of quiet intensity, Beneath Her Silence is a story of trauma, found family, and the unbreakable bond between two souls who were never meant to cross-until they did.

A detached aviation investigator who secretly hears the voices of the dead is assigned to reconstruct a catastrophic plane crash. The sole survivor remembers things the black box does not. As truth and memory collide, love ignites under interrogation lights, and both men must decide whether survival is worth the cost of the truth.

He was the type to shrug at ruin. Cold, cocky, careless-his mask was confidence, but beneath it lay only dust and absence. Promises meant nothing. Apologies never came. He moved through others' lives like a storm without aftermath, leaving behind silence, not sorrow. At least, that's what he told himself. But now, something clings to him. A shadow etched in red. A raven, slick and bleeding with memory, has nested on his head-its claws sunk into the rot of everything he pretended not to feel. No one else sees it, but it watches him constantly, whispering truths he spent years ignoring. He doesn't remember the names of those he hurt. But the raven does. And as the walls of his reality melt into guilt-soaked hallucinations, the figure who once stood above it all is forced to reckon with a version of himself even he forgot existed. He is nameless. He is forgotten. But the raven remembers.

Kim didn't believe he needed therapy, especially not for emotional trauma. He was fine, never been better after the invasion. Still, his brothers forced him to go to therapy to face what he never showed-his emotions. "Why do I need therapy for that?" Kim asked, "why do I need therapy for shoving away my emotions, and not reacting to them?" "Why do you believe you are alright, shoving all these feelings away?"

Virgil Sharpe, a mute homeless street rat, who's been on his own since he was a boy, ends up beaten and dying in the woods he called home... when suddenly a voice pulls his attention away from the black pulling at his mind. "I can save you..." It spoke... Its voice like a song in the wind... magic in the air. He could feel the heat all around him as his vision blurred and darkened. "I can save you..." It repeated as this blurry figure bent down to look him over. "...but your life will belong to me... After all..." The figure slowly cleared enough, allowing Virgil to get a good look at the ethereal being before him, literally glowing in the night air. "You're the one who fell into my circle."
