Revenge
I was sold to a blind mafia heir as payment for my family's sins. My new husband can't see my face. He can't see the scars they carved into my back. And he definitely can't see that I'm planning my revenge. To escape my cruel family, I agreed to marry Evander Covelli—the ruthless, blind CEO of a mafia empire. Our marriage is a transaction: his protection for my silence. To communicate, I guide his hands across my face—a furrowed brow for anger, a smile for happiness. It's an intimate, fragile language built on his darkness and my silence. But I have a secret: I don't think he’s blind at all. And he has a secret: he married me to destroy my family. Now, trapped in a gilded cage of lies, the only thing more dangerous than the enemies at our gates is the burning attraction between us. He thinks my silence makes me weak. He's about to learn it's my greatest weapon. And I'll use it to unravel every last one of his lies... even if it means destroying us both. I am Story Eleanor Whilock and this is my story.

The Lies Behind Silence and Darkness Chapter 8: Cesario Covelli
Chapter 8: Cesario CovelliHe was older than her father, but where Richard was going soft, Cesario was carved from granite. His hair was white, swept back from a formidable brow. His face was a network of lines that spoke of command, not laughter. He wore a suit so impeccably tailored it seemed a part of him. But it was his eyes that arrested her—pale, like winter ice, and so piercingly alert they felt like a physical touch. They missed nothing. They took in her drab dress, her careful posture, the way her knuckles were white on the handle of her valise, the faint, terrified dilation of her pupils. She felt instantly, utterly transparent. A specimen pinned to a slide.“Miss Whitlock,” he said. His voice was a low rumble, perfectly clear, devoid of warmth but not exactly hostile. It was the voice of a sovereign acknowledging a new subject. “Please, sit.”She moved to the chair opposite the desk, perching on its edge. Alistair silently took her valise and disappeared, closing the door w

Chapter 7: The Covelli FortressThe vehicle that came for her a week later was not the same ominous hearse that had delivered the messenger. It was a silent, silver luxury sedan, its windows tinted to an opaque charcoal. It looked like a slab of polished obsidian gliding to the curb, impersonal and expensive. There was no driver in livery; just the same broad-shouldered, silent guard from before, who now opened the rear door with a mechanical precision that suggested he could just as easily tear it from its hinges.No one saw her off. Richard was at his office, “avoiding a fuss.” Clandestine and Norielle were taking a long luncheon in town, a celebratory outing for Norielle’s “narrow escape.” Lydia stood in the kitchen doorway, her apron wrenched in her hands, tears streaming silently down her face. As Story passed with the single, small valise (containing two dresses, some underthings, and a small, hidden portrait of her mother), Lydia rushed forward and pressed a cloth-wrapped bundl

Chapter 6: The Last Ounce of MercyHe misread her stillness for catatonic shock. A hint of impatience entered his voice. “This is not a discussion, Eleanor. It is your duty. The only duty you have ever had that carries any true significance. You will do this. You will be compliant, grateful, and utterly discreet. The Covellis are a private family. You will not shame the Whitlock name with any… difficulties. Do you understand?”This was it. The moment of transaction. The signing of the contract.Story looked at the man who was her father. She saw the fine lines of selfishness around his mouth, the cold emptiness in his eyes that no lamp could ever illuminate. She saw the coward who had heard the basement door lock and had turned up the volume on the radio in his study. She saw her jailer.And she nodded.A single, slow, deliberate dip of her chin. Not a frantic, fearful acceptance. Not a resigned slump of the shoulders. It was an acknowledgment. A yes that felt like the first turn of a

Chapter 5: The TransactionThe giddy relief that had filled the house after the messenger’s departure curdled by dinner into something uglier: a festive, contemptuous celebration. Story heard it from the kitchen where Lydia, her face grim, slapped slices of cold ham onto plates with more force than necessary. Norielle’s laughter rang like shattered crystal, punctuated by Clandestine’s lower, satisfied murmurs. The clink of her father’s best crystal decanter against a glass was a steady, smug rhythm.Story did not set the table. That duty, along with all others, seemed to have been suspended. She was no longer a servant in their eyes; she was cargo, being prepared for shipping. To be handled with a bare minimum of care to avoid depreciation.She took a tray in the pantry, eating a piece of bread and cheese alone, the sounds of her family’s joy a physical pressure against the door. Lydia pushed a small bowl of stew toward her, her eyes full of a sorrow too deep for words. Story gave her
