❝You're ours now, Elowen. And we never let go of what belongs to us❞

In the ruthless world of law, where shadows linger in every corner, three brothers - Zephyr, Lysander, and Zander Tenebris - stand as pillars of power and twisted morality. As the owners of an influential law firm, they navigate the blurred lines between justice and darkness, manipulating the legal system to their advantage.

When innocent and naive Elowen Nocturne steps into their world as an intern, she becomes entangled in a web of forbidden desires. Unbeknownst to her, the brothers, each harboring their own demons, find themselves captivated by the allure of her innocence.

Yet, behind the polished facade of legal prowess lies a chilling reality. As their love for Elowen intensifies, the brothers descend into madness, unleashing a cascade of covert actions-stalked by unseen eyes, Elowen's every move monitored, her life molded by forces she cannot comprehend.

Can Elowen navigate the darkness that lurks within the minds of the Tenebris brothers, or will she become a pawn in their ruthless game?

FORBIDDEN WHISPERS by SAM19MERA80
10 parts Ongoing
Maasa... a mute child, whose only voice was the gaze that pierced souls, was adopted by a wealthy family who had lost their little daughter in a tragic accident. Within the walls of their lavish mansion, she grew surrounded by love and care, yet her heart ached under the weight of silence, and she felt unease around her older brother, Qassem, who refused to acknowledge her presence and refused to see her as more than a fleeting guest in his life. To the world, they appeared as estranged siblings, but behind closed doors, Qassem harbored a dark secret; his heart was shattered by a forbidden love-for Maasa, his adopted sister. His glances toward her radiated desire, and his words, veiled in tenderness, stirred a dangerous mix of passion and peril, desire and duty. The family forced him into a cruel choice: marry Maasa or leave the country to pursue his life and education far from her. As the date of his marriage to another woman, arranged to satisfy his parents' wishes, drew near, tragedy struck again; his parents died in a devastating car accident, leaving Maasa solely in his care, unprotected except by his overwhelming heart. Qassem returned to her life as a solitary shadow, abandoning everything-including his fiancée-to become her sole guardian, protector, and a vengeful sword against any man who dared approach her. Every step he took around her was filled with control, every touch a mixture of passion and threat, every gaze carrying a silent promise of retribution to anyone standing between him and Maasa. Yet fate, as always, was far from finished... holding surprises that could turn their lives upside down and unveil secrets no heart dared even imagine.
