They are cold, merciless, driven by madness, their loyalty solely to blood. Yet, their lives take an unexpected turn when they discovered their thirteen years old little sister. *** "When she was choking me, is that... love?" she whispered, her voice barely audible, each word trembling as if afraid to leave her lips. Her eyes, wide and glassy, searched mine desperately, seeking a truth that she couldn't grasp amidst the fog of confusion and despair that clouded her mind. My heart seethed with rage, a torrent of emotions crashing against the walls of my restraint, threatening to betray the stoic facade I had carefully constructed. I wanted to scream, to shake her out of this misguided belief. Hestia, my little sister, stared back at me. Her innocence tainted by the cruel hands of someone who had twisted the meaning of love into something unrecognizable. She couldn't differentiate the painfully obvious truth, the clear distinction between love and control, kindness and cruelty. It was as if the very essence of her spirit was being suffocated, just as her breath had been. ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ [⚠️ Chapter 41+ are paid content via Ko-fi ⚠️] ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains sensitive and potentially distressing themes, including abuse, sexual assault, rape, psychological trauma, and mature content.

Her Unsaid Confession (ONGOING)
In the quiet streets of Jaén, Spain, there once lived Kalid - calm, patient, and benevolent. But his story was never meant to stay still; it was meant to wander. His new beginning unfolds in Vihnilox City - a city that never sleeps, where lights shimmer even past midnight and the air hums with stories waiting to be told. He wasn't searching for love, only for a place where he could finally belong. Behind closed doors, he found comfort in solitude, in pages that spoke louder than people ever could. Then came Enzo, his spirited French best friend, who moved into the old mansion that once belonged to Kalid's parents. With him came laughter, noise, and the quiet warmth of life returning. Soon after, a photography project led them to Yuna - a graceful, thoughtful girl whose presence made the world feel still, even just for a second. Together, they wandered through the corners of Vihnilox City, capturing stories, smiles, and fleeting moments that somehow lingered longer than they should have. But as the days went by, something unspoken began to take root - subtle glances, quiet pauses, and the ache of wanting what words could never capture. What began as a simple journey turned into something deeper, something that would leave a mark on all of them. Through it all, Kalid starts to see that even when you have everything, something can still feel missing. Because sometimes, life's true beginning doesn't come from the past - it starts the moment you realize you're already living it.
