Inside, she was drowning in despair. A shard of broken glass had sliced her skin; crimson threaded down her fingers and she let it, as if the pain might scrub out the memory. Why keep pretending? Why not let the world see the wound?
"He has been freed."
Those words landed like a verdict. Each evening, when the sun slid behind the rooftops, the hollow in her chest widened until it felt like an impossible weight. Sleep offered no refuge only the thin pretense of rest. By day she moved through life like a practiced actor: composed, capable, untouchable. By night she surrendered to a private unraveling.
When the house was empty she clutched her tear-stained pillow and wept quietly for the man she had loved. Her sobs were small, private things
careful not to wake the ghosts. In the daylight, people bowed to the strong surface she presented; at dusk, the surface cracked and she fell through.
The last time he left, she'd thought her world had split in two. Had his goodbye been the hinge that opened a new chapter a chance at beginning again or the last line in their story?
Every heartbeat asked the same brutal question: is this the end, or merely the pause before something unthinkable returns?

Storms of the heart ♥️
His betrayal was the storm that could have drowned her, but instead, it awakened the fire she never knew she carried. He expected her tears- but she didn't shed a single one. He expected her to plead- but she gave him nothing except a cold, final silence. He expected her to break- but she walked away with her head high, leaving him to realize the weight of what he threw away. And when she stepped out of his life, she stepped into a world where her love was not taken for granted- into the arms of a man who understood loyalty, valued respect, and knew how to hold a woman like her... not as a possession, but as a partner. She didn't lose him. He lost her. And she found someone far more capable of loving the storm in her heart.Complete
The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.
Throat Like Glass Bones (edition)
She doesn't remember the sun. Her world has always been four walls and a locked door. No windows. No choices. No voice. The only time she was allowed to leave was when her pain meant saving her sister-or when she'd been "good enough" to earn it. They took her words early on. Beat them out of her until silence became survival. Then one night, everything changed A break-in. A gunshot. A breath of air colder than she'd ever felt. And suddenly, she was alone-left by a riverbank like forgotten trash. That's where he found her. Cruel. Cold. Powerful. A man with blood on his hands and no space for weakness. The kind of man other men fear: a mafia boss with no room for broken things. But he took her in. He doesn't know her story. Doesn't ask why she flinches when he raises his voice or why she can't speak. But for reasons he can't explain, he tries to fix what the world destroyed. She's silent. He's ruthless. And somehow, they both understand each other. Because sometimes the most shattered souls speak the loudest without saying a word.

The Boy Who Found Her
Prologue A long time ago, there was a girl with her short height who always spent her break time the same way quietly tucked away in her secret place under the tree, reading her notes. Every day, without fail, sometimes she sat alone by the window in the farthest corner of the classroom, hidden behind a curtain of silence and sunlight. The world outside bustled with chatter and footsteps, but in her little corner, time seemed to slow down. She always wore her earphones, soft music playing just loud enough to drown out the noise. Her long black hair fell gently over her shoulders, framing a face that was too often lost in thought. She didn't care how she looked why would she? She believed no one was watching. To her, this moment of peace belonged only to her. But she was wrong. She didn't know that someone had been watching her all along. A boy. He sat a few rows away, quiet and unnoticed just like her. Day after day, he observed her from a distance, curious and drawn to the way she seemed so content in her own world. He didn't know her name. He didn't know her story. But something about her made him pause, made him want to understand the silence she lived in. What she didn't know was that he would soon become the one to change everything she believed about herself. He would be the one to break her quiet world And he would be the one to show her that happiness still exists in this world.
