I Loved You Once In Silence Novels & Stories

It felt as if every beat echoed in the silence between us, loud and relentless. "Thank you," I managed to whisper, the words barely escaping my lips. I wasn’t sure why it was so hard to speak to him, why everything about him made me feel this way. There was a vulnerability in me that I couldn’t explain, a sense of being completely exposed, like I was standing on the edge of something unknown. It was as if his presence stripped me of all my defenses, leaving me raw and uncertain. He tilted his head slightly, his voice soft and reassuring. "I mean no harm, trust me," he said, his tone steady, sincere. "I just want to be a close friend to you. You have nothing to fear."

But silence was louder than a thousand words. Back in Sophia's room. I snuggled back into bed, burrowing under the blanket. The baby moved again inside me — soft, like a gentle promise. I placed my hand over my belly and smiled weakly. "You're sufficient for the moment," I whispered. "I love you." And suddenly, as if by magic, I closed my eyes. Make him wait. Make him feel what silence truly is. Because I've lived in it far too long.

“She’s lying! I don’t like her! “Yulia, I’ve always loved you. I know I messed up before. Can we start over? I’ll do better this time.

I wanted to love and cherish her, that is all I have wanted for so long. “ Meara, where did you get an idea like that? If I wanted my way with you, I would already have,” I said quietly, hoping she would feel the emotion in my voice. Her eyes softened, and she looked away, biting her bottom lip. God, I wished I was the one biting that lip of hers, but it seems it will only happen far into the future. “ Well, let me refresh your memory, King Kaden.” She pressed that last part out deliberately.

“I am sorry, I was just trying to keep you from murdering someone in public.” His expression shifted - dark, unreadable. His eyes trailed across my face, lingering on my lips. Then his hand reached up, fingertips grazing my cheek. He always wore the same damn expression. Blank, unmoved, like nothing in this world could touch him. But somehow, in the silence and the stillness, he made sure I and everyone else felt it all - the cold, the control, the darkness wrapped beneath his skin.

I looked up to see him still staring then I tried to take my eyes off him but he wouldn't let me, he turned my face to him and slowly put his lips on mine, I wanted to push him, I wanted to yell at him but I couldn't do anything then I finally give in, I relaxed and let him have his way, then the most strange thing happened his thoughts almost explode my brain, I could hear it loud and clear now.

I responded to Javier by clearing my throat. "Do you still remember my song called 'Silent Love'?" Javier asked, I nodded spontaneously, of course I remembered.

This is actually a part of Javier's past, a little sad and tragic because suddenly Javier confessed to me that he loves Hanin, yeah, my neighbor Hanin. Why did Javier title his song 'Silent Love'?
