What Lingers in Silence

The morning came quietly, almost too precise for a place that had known so much unrest the night before. It almost didn't feel like it even as the sunlight slipped through the tall windows in rays. Settling across the room in soft glitters.

It brushed over the bed, over the rumpled sheets, over the still figure lying beneath them.

Andre was already awake by now with his eyes open looking in the direction of the light.

He lay there for a moment without moving, his gaze fi

    Pandora's Box.Bella did not rush out this time. The urgency was still there, coiled tightly beneath her ribs, pressing insistently with every step she took down the corridor, but her pace remained careful.It was as though moving too fast might draw attention that she didn't want.The envelope rested beneath the folds of her sleeve, pressed against her wrist where her pulse beat steadily against it.She was aware of it in a way she couldn’t ignore. Every turn of the corridor felt watched, though no one stood there. It was as though the castle itself had grown aware of what she carried or maybe it was just her.Bella exhaled slowly through her nose and turned the final corner that led toward her chambersNothing looked different so far, it was the same hallway. The same tall windows let in the faint wash of fading light. The same quiet that had always existed here…But it didn’t feel the same. Not anymore.She reached her door and paused out of instinct listening. There was no sound f

    Making Hay While The Sun Shines.Bella did not realize how fast she was walking until she nearly missed the turn that led to Eleanor’s chambers.Her breath came uneven, not from the distance, but from the thoughts pressing in too tightly for her to sort through. Every corridor felt longer than it should have been, the castle had always been quiet, but tonight the silence felt different, maybe because she was walking too fast.She slowed just before reaching the door, her hand hovering for a brief moment above the handle. For a second, doubt crept in again.If she said this aloud, there would be no taking it back. Bella clenched her jaw lightly and pushed the door open without knocking.Eleanor turned immediately. For someone who had seemed so composed moments ago, there was a flicker of something sharp in her eyes the instant Bella stepped inside. “You shouldn’t be here,now ” Eleanor said, her tone calm but firm.A box fell off her hand and the contents spilled to the ground. Bell

    A Loophole.Theo did not slow down until the corridor curved out of sight completely. Even then, his steps only paused for a fraction of a second before continuing again, as though nothing had happened. He could tell himself that he wasn't angry a thousand times but the truth was there and the silence around him no longer felt like something that he could just push off his mind casually.The feeling as it was pressed in, carrying the remnants of that encounter like a scent that refused to fade away.Much as he tried to push it away Andre’s words lingered. Not the obvious ones, not the threats or the arrogance but the certainty of not knowing where he stood in all of this.In a way he thought that he was right?This pregnancy put him at a disadvantage but also was his birth right from the first day. He wouldn't have paid it any attention but his brother chose to be an asshole about it.Theo exhaled slowly, his jaw tightening just slightly as he replayed the conversation again, pick

    Bloodlines.Theo stepped out of Eleanor’s room without looking back even with the heavy thuds his mind made amidst the unrest. He had spoken to her like a thousand times all his life but today she was strange àlmost as if hiding something.The door closed behind him with a quiet click softer than expected, but it carried the same feeling that came from his heart. The kind that settled into chaos that filled his mind.For a moment, he stood there and looked back wondering if he should return or shouldn't. The hallways were unusually quiet though it was not the obvious thing, amidst all of this.When it felt all seemed perfect in his mind he exhaled once, and began walking. His pace was unhurried as he had his hands relaxed at his sides, but his mind was anything but calm. Every detail replayed itself through his mind again as he thought about it.Eleanor’s pauses and most definitely her deflections.He thought about the way she chose each word. She had not lied but at the same tim

    How To Tame An Old Cat ( 1)Theo did not immediately speak again after stepping into Eleanor’s room. He let the silence fill the room not out of discomfort, but with deep sincere intentionSilence, he had learned long ago, was important in such matters. It revealed more than words ever could but that was if one was patient enough to let it unfold.Eleanor closed the door behind him with a quiet click. The sound settled into the room like a boundary being drawn..Theo took a slow look around, his gaze unhurried as he took everything in observance without being obvious. Nothing had changed. It was still the same carefully controlled space that he had always loved growing up, everything in its place…Except for, well, few things.His fingers tightened slightly around the neck of the wine bottle.“You redecorated,” he said casually, though there was no change at all.Eleanor did not react immediately. She moved past him, her steps smooth as she gestured toward the table.“I didn’t realiz

    Brothers By Blood.It was Theo when she turned. Even if she knew by his voice when he had spoken standing right there made it seem different.He stood in the doorway with his chest rising hard and falling. He was heaving heavily with his eyes darker than Bella had ever seen them. The force with

    Divided LoyaltiesBella remained against the door long after Andre’s footsteps faded down the corridor. Her mind felt like it was being ripped off from within.“Bella,what have you gotten yourself into." She mutters.The silence he left behind felt heavier even with the handful of words he had said

    Silk and Secrets“That was close." She muttered to herself while touching her temple.Bella did not move for a long time after Andre left the room after his assault. For her it was partly shock and a left over of anxiety from almost being caught.In a way,the room still felt disturbed, as though it

    An August Visitor. Bella did not break the seal at once even afterwards. She turned the letter over in her hand, thumb pressing against the edge until the paper bent slightly.She shut her eyes for a second. “No I won't, I made a promise to him." She turned it in her hands again and checked it on
