SILENT BETWEEN TWO HEARTS CHAPTER SEVENTEEN- The Grieve
Elena stepped into the living room, and for a moment, the silence felt unnatural, heavy, abandoned, like no one had lived in the house for years. Dust clung to the air, and a foul stench hit her so sharply she covered her nose. It smelled like something had died inside, maybe a chicken, maybe worse.“Papa?” she called out, her voice echoing through the hollow space.No answer.A knot tightened in her stomach. She called again, louder this time, and hurried toward the staircase. Her footsteps were quick, frantic, her heartbeat crashing in her ears.Halfway up the stairs, she froze.A single wooden stool sat beside the railing. On it lay a folded piece of paper, placed too neatly to be an accident. Her chest tightened as she reached for it. Her fingers trembled.She opened the note. The words blurred as she read, her eyes refusing to believe, her mind rejecting every sentence. This couldn’t be real. It had to be a mistake. A trick. A nightmare.“No… this can’t be,” she whispered.The no
SILENT BETWEEN TWO HEARTS CHAPTER SIXTEEN - Whispers of Her Arrival
Elena had always imagined what it would be like to return home after so many years, but nothing could have prepared her for the moment her feet touched the familiar, dusty ground of Monte Calos. The air smelled the same, earthy, warm, thick with the scent of burning firewood and the faint sweetness of wildflowers that grew behind the old church. Yet everything felt different. Surreal. Like stepping into one of the dreams she used to have as a girl, the ones where she wandered through the streets searching for something she could never quite name.It was the weight of nostalgia, soft at first, then almost suffocating. This was home. It had always been home, no matter how far she ran or how hard she tried to forget. She didn’t want to admit it, but part of her heart had remained here, buried under memories she had long abandoned.Leaving Monte Calos had never been easy. She had walked away from the things that shaped her, the people she cared about, and the dreams she had nurtured. She
SILENT BETWEEN TWO HEARTS CHAPTER FIFTEEN - The Return
When Elena stepped out of the lounge, the air outside felt thinner, sharper, almost biting against her skin. She was ready to run, not just from the room, not only from Henry, but from every memory, every truth, every burden that had been thrust into her hands without warning. Her legs trembled as she walked, and though she tried to steady her breath, her mind spun like a wheel thrown off its axle. Everything had shifted in a matter of seconds. One moment she had been wrestling with jealousy, feeling foolish for the sudden pang she felt when Henry seemed lost in memories of another woman. The next moment, the world had cracked open, spilling a truth she never imagined could be tied to her.That face on the picture.That familiar smile.The ghost she had mourned and cursed in the same breath.Maria, her sister.Her heartbeat echoed inside her ears as she tried to grasp the full weight of what had just happened. She had come into Henry’s life unaware that he had once been the center of
SILENT BETWEEN TWO HEARTS CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Henry had never known emptiness in this form not the hollow ache of losing Maria all those years ago, not the numbing grief that settled in his bones after her disappearance, not even the unbearable guilt that followed him like a shadow through the decades. Those pains were sharp, yes, but they had settled into something familiar, an ache he carried like a second skin. But what he felt the moment Elena walked away was different. It was vast. Consuming. A vacuum so wide it threatened to swallow him whole.He didn’t expect it. He didn’t think her absence would feel like a knife slipping between his ribs, like a wound freshly carved into an already scarred heart. He stood there long after she had gone, staring at the empty space she once occupied, and wondered when did she become so important? When had her laughter, her gentleness, her stubbornness, her fire… when had all of that become a part of him?He had thought the death of Maria was the worst pain he would ever endure. He had belie
SILENT BETWEEN TWO HEARTS CHAPTER 13 – A Heart Too Full to Carry
Elena remembered everything, every detail, every fragment of truth her father had revealed in his trembling voice earlier that week. The confession had come unexpectedly, soft and broken, as Miguel sat in the lounge speaking more to his own ghosts than to her. He never knew she listened from the hallway, frozen and afraid. He spoke of regret, of loss, of the night he lost control not just of the wheel but of his entire life.And now, standing in Henry Dubois’ silent study, Elena felt that painful memory press down on her like a weight she could no longer hold.Her father, Miguel, had entered the Dubois Lounge days ago with humility she hadn’t seen in him for years. He had bowed his head, spoken softly, and asked Henry for forgiveness completely unaware that the man sitting opposite him was the very one whose name had destroyed his family.Miguel did not know Henry was the mysterious stranger Maria ran away with.He did not know Henry was the one her heart had chosen, the one she riske
SILENT BETWEEN TWO HEARTS CHAPTER 12 – The Portrait in the Shadows
Elena had always sensed that Henry Dubois carried a weight heavier than his calm voice and gentle eyes revealed. There were moments when she caught him drifting into a silence so deep it felt sacred, moments when his gaze lingered on something distant, untouchable, lost. She used to think it was simply the burden of leadership or the scars left by a difficult past. But now she knew better.There was a secret. A name. A woman.Maria.The revelation of the name had shaken her more than she expected. She didn’t know why her heart reacted the way it did why jealousy rose like a quiet storm inside her. She had no right to feel threatened by Henry’s past, yet she did. She felt it deeply.Because somehow, somewhere along the way, Henry Dubois had become more than the man who saved her… more than the man who took her in.She had begun to feel something strong. Something frightening. Something she didn’t want to name yet.And she was almost certain he felt something too. His stares lingered
