Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped. I was held against my will. Tortured. Starved. Broken apart, piece by piece. All in the name of "curing" me. He didn't just steal my freedom. He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic. He's given me this journal and I'm going to write my story. This is my truth. My confession. My war cry. Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT!

❝𝓣𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓴 𝔂𝓸𝓾❞
When two parents in Russia begin to worry about their quiet son, they tell themselves it is nothing. Boys speak late sometimes. Some children are simply shy. But in the late 1940s, silence feels heavier than it should. Though he was not quiet by choice, perhaps it was safer that way. In a time when neighbors listened through walls and governments listened through wires, many preferred silence over sound. So when they hear of a man, a "miracle doctor," they call him one who specializes in children who are "lacking," and they allow themselves hope. Five months later, hope returned, with a black case delivered to their door. It is filled with money. Their son is gone And on top rests a single note. "Thank you."

The young man is the Kingdom's missing Prince, feared dead after his escort was attacked on an expedition.
