She was the girl stolen by silence. He was the boy who vowed to break it.

When Aria Vale was a child, her life was stolen-and so was her voice. Raised by strangers who masked cruelty as family, she's forgotten what love, freedom, and truth even feel like. Her world is quiet, not with peace, but with fear.

Until Lucian Blackthorne returns.

Once her childhood friend, now a billionaire cloaked in secrets and shadows, Lucian never stopped searching for the girl with haunted eyes. And when he finds her again, broken but breathing, he vows to protect her-even if it means burning his empire to the ground.

But as buried truths rise and enemies close in, Aria must face the ghosts of her past... and the fire of a love that refuses to die.

In a world where silence was her prison, Lucian might be the one to help her find her voice.

But some rescues come with a price-and some hearts were never meant to be safe.All Rights Reserved

But when her parents arrange her marriage to the Italian heir she swore she'd never forgive, Izzy's world burns with the weight of old wounds and forbidden desires.

Now, with the families bound by an alliance, she's his fiancée... whether she likes it or not. Hatred. Desire. Betrayal. Two names, two families, and a marriage meant to heal an empire. But some ashes don't fade - they ignite.

Where Silence Blooms by Yemeniflower

At thirteen, Elijah saw something no child should ever see- A four-year-old girl named Aria, bruised, silent, and hiding behind the trash bins of his apartment building.

Everyone forgets. Everyone but Elijah. Fourteen years later, Elijah is a rising star in the tech world-a millionaire before thirty, living a life others dream about. But none of it means anything. Not really. Because somewhere out there, Aria might still be alive. And he made a promise-to himself, to her, to the universe-that he would find her. On the other side of the city, a young woman walks the streets by night and survives by wit, instinct, and sheer will. Her name is Aria-but she doesn't remember that anymore. She only remembers fear, darkness, and how no one ever came for her. Until now. Two lives. One impossible reunion. A story of survival, devotion, and the enduring power of a bond that defies time.

Everything Changes by Upallnight19

At the time she thought life couldn't get any better; minus the guy she was in love with was having a hard time noticing she's the one. But when tragedy strikes, she doesn't know how to deal with it. Losing someone close to her and the guilt that eats away at her heart. How do you deal with it? The life she had known was gone. The pain feels like drowning. Though putting your life together is hard when you keep finding out people aren't who they say they are. Who could possibly help her keep her head above water? Someone she least expected? Could he be the one to save her, before it all becomes too much? Ryder didn't leave much falsehood to rumors. A complete playboy. He didn't have much he cared about in life anymore, at least, other than his friends. They were the only ones who knew his dark secrets, the mystery that hid in his eyes. That's the way he liked it, usually keeping to himself, not giving a shit what anyone thought about him. When Aria walks in his life, things get shaken up. Now, life starts getting a little more interesting.
