Re Deadly Silence

“Are you trying to punish me? I…I don't know how many times I can apologize even if it wasn't my fault that I almost—” “I never asked you to. You do whatever you want, Niya, and I really don't care. Neither should you bother with what I do.” “You're hurt. You're hurt, Alex, and you're acting out. Don't worry we could talk this through. This isn't you.” I try to reach him again but he shoots me a deadly glare that pierces through my skin like a dagger. “Sure it is. You've just never seen me like this. You don't know what I look like when I'm not in love with you,” his brows grow together. “Now we’ve had enough of your drama. You'll find the papers and enjoy the party or use the fucking door.” He pulls away and my eyes cloud again. My ears and heart find it hard to process what is actually going on. The looks on their faces tell me it is awfully too late—I have already lost everything. “Niya, careful now,” my grandmother slowly tugs at my arm as if that will somehow make everything better. “We have guests. Don’t cause a scene.” A scene? I have literally just seen a whole movie, ma. ************* My name is Niya Kendrick. I’m 25, an author who once believed she had the perfect life. But how quickly can everything I love be stripped away in the blink of an eye? Or worse, what if the life, the family I’ve cherished has always been a blatant lie, a mere fragment of the truth? Now, I’m awake, and reality is far harsher than any dream.

Leïla, fille du plus grand homme d’affaires de la ville d’Anbar. Une jeune femme choyée, entourée de richesse, de pouvoir et de sécurité… Jusqu’à ce que tout s’effondre en une seule nuit. Un père qui meurt. Une fortune confisquée. Un palais réduit à un souvenir. Et une mère plongée dans un silence dont elle ne reviendra jamais. Du sommet à la chute… Leïla se retrouve contrainte de travailler comme secrétaire, auprès d’un seul homme : Omar. L’ennemi de son père. L’homme dont la main a détruit sa famille. Il n’oublie pas. Il ne pardonne pas. Et en Leïla, il ne voit qu’un moyen de se venger. Elle, en revanche, entre dans son entreprise brisée… mais refuse de se briser de l’intérieur. Entre humiliations et travail impitoyable, entre une haine affichée et des sentiments troublants, le conflit se transforme en un jeu dangereux, jusqu’à une proposition choquante… Un mariage en échange de la survie. Leïla était-elle une victime ? Omar connaît-il toute la vérité… ou seulement une partie ? Et l’hostilité peut-elle vraiment se transformer en amour ?

Michel Mathieu, héritier d’une lignée controversée et homme d’ambition froide, commet l’irréparable dans un accès de vengeance longtemps prémédité : il élimine un à un tous les membres de la famille de son rival, dans une opération aussi méthodique que sanglante. Ce bain de violence, qu’il justifie par des années d’humiliation, de trahison et de conflits d’héritage, laisse derrière lui un silence glacial. Tous ont péri… tous, sauf une. La femme de l’héritier, jeune épouse étrangère aux querelles anciennes, témoin malgré elle de l’effondrement d’un empire. Michel avait prévu de l’abattre elle aussi. Mais lorsque leurs regards se croisent, quelque chose cède en lui. Un trouble. Un vertige. Le coup ne part pas. Dans le chaos qu’il a lui-même orchestré, Michel tombe amoureux. D’elle. De sa fragilité, de sa force contenue, de ce qu’elle représente : un monde qu’il n’a jamais eu. Elle devient l’exception, l’ombre vivante dans un tableau de morts. Mais peut-on aimer quelqu’un qu’on aurait dû tuer ? Peut-on survivre à un amour né d’un massacre ?

Le jour de la cérémonie de marquage, j'attendais des fleurs et l'engagement, mais c'était la terrible nouvelle qui est arrivée : Liam, mon compagnon, avait disparu dans une tempête de neige, son corps jamais retrouvé. Je perdais mon amour, et le louveteau dans mon ventre perdait son père. Le chagrin a failli m'emporter, mais tous me répétaient : « Aurora, prends sur toi... Fais-le au moins pour ton enfant. » Le jour des funérailles, Jasper, le frère jumeau de Liam, est revenu des frontières avec sa compagne. Chaque fois que je voyais son visage, si semblable à celui de Liam, mon cœur se tordait de douleur. Jusqu'à cette nuit où j'ai entendu par hasard ma belle-mère Monique parler à Jasper : « Liam, tu dois continuer ainsi. Jasper est mort pour te sauver. Ta belle-sœur traverse une période difficile. Attends qu'elle accouche et trouve du réconfort, puis tu officialiseras ton union avec Aurora. » Un silence, puis la voix masculine a répondu : « Mais Aurora... Elle porte mon enfant. » Monique a soupiré : « Aurora est forte et compréhensive. Elle nous comprendra. » Liam, résigné, a murmuré : « D'accord... Je ferai comme tu dis. » C'était alors que j'ai compris : Liam n'était jamais mort. Ce « Jasper » devant moi... c'était LUI ! Le cœur en miettes, j'ai appelé mon frère Brice, dans une meute du Sud : « Brice, je veux rentrer. Liam est mort... Je n'ai plus rien à faire ici. »

“I've sacrificed so much for our sake, to get this duplicitous act from my husband and my foster sister!” My heart clenched at the sight of their naked bodies.  I lacked words to say, My heart felt crushed under the weight of their sinful act!

I managed to say, without minding the tension coming from his voice. After a few minutes of silence…  “A mistake occurred during the insemination procedure, leading to the incorrect sperm being used and….” he took a deep breath. "You're carrying the child of the CEO Williams Corporation.” My eyes widened in shock. “Whatttt!! This was just the beginning of my twist of fate with the ‘Cold and Callous Billionaire’....  Ethan Williams. 

“Don’t worry, Kacie... he’s coming for you. We’ll make sure you’re safe. And when he does… every soul that ever hurt you will pay.

A strangled cry rang out across the silence, it took me a moment to realize it was coming from me, my knees buckled and I hit the soft grass in the pasture.

She woke up to any empty bed , "panicking" she called 911 . She tried to sound freaked out but before she could say much about the matter at hand, her husband walked in . She was gravely disappointed but quickly masked it with relief . Reluctantly ,she cut the call and hugged her husband ,only for him to tense up. " who was on the phone?" He asked pulling back from the hug . She kept quiet knowing what would come next if she had said 911 . When she didn't reply ,he took her silence for an answer. He knew she was messed up but calling 911 all the time had been extreme. Annoyed he went farther away from her facing anywhere but at her . " you got to stop doing that" He clenched his jaw,really upset . " stop doing what?" ' stop wishing me dead ' he thought "Calling freaking 911 everytime I'm not around you " Silence followed. She thought he meant that as in I can't breathe without Lucas beside me kinda vibe but no... He knew. "I'm not asking you to go climb Mount Everest or jump off a cliff .I'm just asking you to grow up,Jen .You're a 22 year old act like it " He made his annoyance evident .He made no attempt to hide how pissed he was . His voice was harsh , cold and very very distant. It was always like that ,one had to get used to it She wanted to cry so bad that she had been caught but she knew he had known for a very long time now . 'Crying now would only prove him right' she thought. Finding her presence irksome, he left the room. Maybe getting married to Lucas was just crazy . Lucas was handsome ,rich ,independent. He was everything any girl wanted . everything that her father wanted for her .
