Novel & Cerita Silence Complete

Chapter 6: The Weight of Silence The car moved steadily through the quiet night. The city lights glared past the windows. The roads were less crowded now, the noise of the conference long left behind. Inside the car, the silence felt heavy. Marcus sat on the driver's seat. His hands rested firmly on the steering wheel, his posture straight, eyes fixed on the road ahead. He had learned over the years when to speak and when not to.

Not having to explain anything to anyone. Staying in my own mind, even though it can be harmful sometimes I don't care. "I'm literally stinking and exhausted right now" I wanted to groan but smiled at what Malaika was saying. She was a nice girl with an even beautiful accent. Her Urdu is to die for, god. That's my new inspiration right

“Why not? It’s part of the sparring.” Echo sighed as he removed his shirt and pants and placed it over the chair. RJ turned around to him, his eyes started turning red as he raised his hands. “Reid…” “Attack,” Reid said in a low voice and Echo didn't have a choice but to attack him. A command from their Alpha. *********** She gasped when her alarm started ringing. She sat up as usual and stretched a bit. But she’s too lazy to go out or even leave.
