Breaking Benjamin Break The Silence Novels & Stories

Silent. Staring at her with those dead eyes. More seconds passed. The air in the room felt wrong. Too thick. Too cold. Carmina took a step backward without meaning to. Then another. Her back hit the door. "Killian," she whispered. Nothing. The silence was worse than shouting. Worse than violence. It was the silence before something terrible happens. Carmina's heart was hammering in her chest. Her hands shaking so badly she could barely hold her cane. "Say something," she said.

The bag she was holding slips from her fingers and falls to the floor with a dull thud. Her gaze moves from me to Evan, then back to me. And in her eyes, I see something break. Something irreparable. — Oh my God, she whispers, and her voice is nothing but a horrified thread. What have you done? The silence that follows is heavier than anything I have ever known. The kind of silence that precedes the collapse of worlds. The kind of silence in which you hear lives shattering. And in this silence, I know that nothing will ever be the same again.

Neither spoke. Nate stared at him. Max stared back. And in the silence between them, everything they'd spent months refusing to say seemed to gather at once. The door remained open. Neither of them moved. Neither looked away.

At the DeLuca Family banquet announcing its new advisor, Matteo said he was going to end nine years of secrecy and finally acknowledge our relationship in public. I stood in the back row of the banquet hall, so nervous I'd crumpled my prepared speech into a ball. Over nine years, I'd cleaned up the port books for him three times, negotiated two cross-border shipping routes, and taken a bullet for him. Everyone knew the DeLuca Family had a female advisor who never showed her face, but no one knew I was that woman. I thought that after tonight, I would finally stop being his shadow. Until the screen at the front of the banquet hall lit up. There was no photo of us. Instead, there was only a si

​He stepped back, his face returning to its silent, stony mask. ​"The shower is ready," Lorenzo said, gesturing to the bathroom. "Five minutes, Bianca. Make them believe you’re the smartest person in the room, or you won't live to see ​I looked at the bloody chip on the floor, then at the man who had just saved me—and threatened me—in the same breath. ​"Fine," I said, my voice cold. "I'll speak for the Silent Don. But when I'm done, he's going to wish he’d stayed quiet."

Every touch seems to light me up inside until I’m burning. And then, eventually, we break apart. We breathe in silence. Sleep comes not long after that.

Eliza looked at Benjamin in silence before bursting out in laughter. “Let’s do it” she said before pulling out her phone from her purse. They were ready to call Noah and give a piece of their mind. With a click of a button, Noah’s number began to dial. Eliza and Benjamin were waiting patiently for him to pick up the call. “Hello?” they heard a sleep driven voice speak from the other line. Eliza’s anger levels grew tenfold after hearing Noah’s carefree voice. It did not seem that he was affected at all by the breakup while Eliza was pouring her eyes out.

“I can’t keep silent anymore. Can we meet? I need you.” She stared at the screen, her pulse racing, every part of her screaming both hope and fear. Outside, the city hummed on, oblivious to the battles of the heart being waged in a small South London flat. The rain had stopped, leaving a wet sheen across the streets, reflecting the amber glow of streetlights. And in that quiet aftermath, Amara felt a flicker of resolve, fragile yet undeniable. The silence that had haunted her for so long had finally pushed her toward action. And though the path ahead remained uncertain, she knew that breaking the silence was the first step toward reclaiming herself, toward choosing a love that demanded hones

But for the first time in a long while, the quiet didn’t feel like something she had to carry alone. It felt like something she was finally learning to break.

Lauren rebutted, confidently. "Are you sure about that? Listen to this." At first, Lauren heard nothing but the noise from the party. Just when she was about to sneer, she heard Malcolm's voice. His voice wasn't loud but the entire hall was pin silent so she could hear everything he said. She listened for a few minutes before her mouth opened in shock. She was so D. O. O. M. E. D!
