Tessa is trying to rebuild her life - new routines, new support, new attempts at feeling normal again. But the harder she tries to move forward, the more the world around her begins to shift in ways she can't explain.
Objects aren't where she left them.
Strangers seem to know things she's never said out loud.
And the feeling of being watched follows her everywhere... even into her dreams.
Her therapist says it's stress.
Her friends say she's overwhelmed.
Tessa wants to believe them.
But when the messages start - quiet, personal, impossibly specific - she realizes something is wrong. Someone is paying attention to her in a way no one should.
Someone who understands her fears a little too well.
Someone who knows exactly how to get close.
As Tessa tries to hold her life together, she's forced to confront a terrifying possibility:
the danger she escaped once may not be gone... it may just be getting started.
A slow‑burn psychological thriller about trust, vulnerability, and the unsettling feeling of being truly seen.

Excerpt I got a peace offering. And Ice cream. The message popped up again. His Bhaiyu was making it hard to ignore. Darwaza khol, yaar. Mogambo uth jayenge. Ansh glared at the French windows. Even desperate his Bhaiyu would not quit the name calling. Shall I leave? Ansh did not respond. Okay! Leaving the ice-cream outside. Take it before it melts. Ansh did not respond, but his heart skipped a beat. He wanted to meet his Bhaiyu. He was even a little desperate, but he did not wish to give in so soon. So, he counted until 100 and then slowly made his way outside. Iris hopped down from the bed and followed behind him. Ansh opened the doors with a big heart only to find a basket filled with dumb yellow smile squishes and a big tub of ice-cream in between. A few CD's were tucked into the basket almost as an afterthought. The game CD's that Ansh wanted. Ansh glared at the basket. "Do minute nahi rukh saktey they kya?" He muttered under his breath. "You made me wait 17 minutes, kidoo" A voice whispered in his ears. Ansh almost screamed but Nirbhay's palm closed around his mouth before any sound could slip. Ansh's heart thudded in his chest. His Bahiyu had almost given him a heart attack. Nirabhay grabbed the basket and slipped inside with Ansh, and shut the door behind him.
𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐥 ✔ 𝑱𝑨𝑺𝑷𝑬𝑹 𝑯𝑨𝑳𝑬
𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐥 Raven Swan has always lived in the quiet shadows of Forks, a town that seems too small for secrets, yet strange enough to hide them. At eighteen, she's spent her life under the roof of her father, attending high school and moving with her own circle of friends, never needing the Cullens, never wanting their attention. She knows them by name, has glimpsed them from a distance, and has felt the whispers of their strange presence-but she's never truly been part of their world. Raven is calm, observant, and quietly formidable. She doesn't need to prove herself; people notice because she is. Her mysterious aura makes her seem untouchable, but beneath the surface lies a heart that craves connection, even if she doesn't let it show. For decades, Alice Cullen kept a secret: a vision of a girl who didn't yet exist, destined to be the anchor for Jasper's war-torn soul. When Bella Swan arrives in Forks, it all started. The moment Raven finally gets paired in a project class with the Jasper Hale, the vision finally becomes a reality. As an empath who has spent a century drowning in the emotions of others, Jasper finds an impossible "calm" in Raven-a silent strength that challenges his control and offers him a peace he never thought he deserved. While their connection was foretold long ago, the path through the supernatural dangers of the Olympic Peninsula is anything but certain. Together, they must navigate the thin line between a predestined fate and the choice to love, proving that even the most turbulent heart can find its home in the one person Alice saw coming a lifetime ago.Complete
