*Slow update
A bond forged in childhood shatters under the weight of lies, love, and betrayal. Liam, Aurora, and Mateo were inseparable-until tragedy strikes, and the death of Liam's parents unveils a web of corruption connected to a powerful criminal network. As secrets surface, loyalties falter, and Aurora's trust in Mateo is shattered when she discovers his darkest betrayal.
When Aurora suddenly vanishes, she leaves behind more than unanswered questions-she carries a secret that could change everything. Years later, she returns, a shadow of her former self, wielding skills that could dismantle an empire. Meanwhile, Liam, hardened by grief and revenge, walks a dangerous path as an assassin, his target set on the network responsible for his pain.
As their paths cross once again, Aurora and Liam must confront old wounds, hidden truths, and an enemy who always seems one step ahead. But when Liam uncovers a truth Aurora has kept buried, it threatens to unravel their mission-and their fragile alliance.
With time running out and betrayal lurking in every shadow, can they trust each other long enough to take down the enemy, or will their own secrets destroy them first?

Her Side Of Silence
. On the day her twin sister "died," or that what she thought everything she knew shattered. She remembered the scream, the fall, the blood-and then the world changed. In the chaos, no one asked her what really happened. They didn't care to hear her version. Her parents, once the warmth in her world, turned cold overnight. The brothers who loved her most began to look at her like a monster. Whispers filled the house. Accusations behind closed doors. She was blamed, judged, and punished-not by strangers, but by her own blood. And then, without warning, they sent her away. A boarding school in another country, they said, as if it were for her own good. But it wasn't a school-it was a cage dressed in discipline. Far from home, far from love, she entered a place no child should ever be. Hidden behind iron gates and smiling lies, that school was a breeding ground for cruelty. Every corner held secrets. Every night was a nightmare. And no one ever came looking for her. Not a single letter. Not a single call. They forgot her- Years passed. . And then came the call. Her family wanted her to return. As if they still had the right to call her back. But the girl who left never came back-not really. What returns now is someone colder, quieter, sharper. She tells herself she feels nothing for them. That she's learned to live without love. That hatred is easier than hope. But buried beneath the years and pain, there is still a small voice inside her-a child's voice-aching to be believed, to be seen, to be forgiven for a crime she never committed. Will her family finally face what they've done? And when the truth comes out-will it set her free, or break her all over again?
