Silence Of Heart Novels & Stories

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

Silence descended once more. I had always loved silence. The calming type that comes with the soft sound of the wind and the crickets singing. The type that calms the heart. But this wasn't that type. This was the soul-shattering type. The type where you're left to wonder and think if you're still sane. The type that feels as though, despite everywhere being quiet, there are voices calling to you. The same type of silence that calls to me now. The type that instil fear.

Another heartbeat. Deliberate. Silent. Footsteps. Made of sigils. I didn’t have to call her name. Didn’t have to talk at all. But I did. Just loud enough for the night to carry it, sharp enough to cut through the silence. “She’s coming.”

The hand with the mole touched my face. Her tone turned gentle. "Honey, can you please stop being mad at me? We've been fighting for so long. I really hate this feeling." I wanted to push her away, but my whole body felt weak. The alcohol had not worn off yet and I was still numb. Her bright red lips began to breathe softly. She leaned closer and closer, inviting and irresistible. If this were the old me, I would have already surrendered and fallen at her feet, but now, I just felt disgusted. I wanted to throw up.

They say he dragged Janine into a patch of wolfsbane and watched with cold eyes as she writhed and screamed until she finally died from the poison. Then, he walked into the Fog Forest and vanished. As for me, I felt nothing. There was no sadness, rage, or closure. Just… nothing. I had no more room in my heart for people like them. I was now fully focused on the two treasures in my life—one big, one small. Nolan kept making me say that I’d only ever loved him in this life. He kissed me like he could erase the traces of anyone else. For three whole days and nights, he locked us in our room, claiming that he was healing me. By the end of it, I couldn’t take it anymore and kicked him out of bed.

"I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you" Minutes pass by, and nothing happens. The whole place was quiet, and the only sounds were that of our silent breathing. My mind was racing out of focus. The anxiety of it all was crippling. I wanted to hear the sirens that said that everything was clear. We sit in silence for a whole hour, but nothing happens. Suddenly my mind goes to Scarlet and Ian's family, who lived in the same area. I send a prayer up to the heavens, praying to keep them safe.

My heart was thumping very loudly in my chest and my throat was becoming drier with every thump. He lifted his hand without moving his eyes from me. His hand stopped when it was straight while his eyes were boring holes in my soul. I found myself captive under his iron stares. I couldn't even blink no matter how hard I try. Silence reigned the surroundings. Cold, brutal silence. Silence before the storm. He pushed the trigger which broke the silence and..... Whizz... I flinched as something very heavy fall on the ground with a loud thump before the silence again dominate the surroundings.

"You thought I was a fool?" She knew it was useless arguing him. "Why are you silent, couldn’t answer?"" "My silence means I am tired of fighting and there is nothing left to fight for, I am tired of explaining my feelings to you but now I don't have the energy to explain them, right now I am on a self healing process and I am trying to forget everything that I ever wanted from you, I have always adapted to the changes in my life and even now I'm going to adjust and I'm not complaining, I am just trying to move on gracefully with all my dignity, I will definitely return your money, sorry and thanks for everything.” with that she walked away tears clouding her vision, rubbing it with the back

It feels like death, just the same as bereavement and in quiet moments, it chokes my breath. Only Marvis whom I loved so much could be my assassin. It takes an inside job to attack one so resilient to emotional injury. That is my heartbreak.

Her lips were pursed in concentration, a testament to her unwavering determination to uncover the truth that lay hidden beneath the surface. The silence was an enigma, a riddle that refused to yield its secrets. It was a silence pregnant with possibility, laden with unspoken questions that hung in the air like suspended particles of uncertainty. Darren's heart hammered in his chest, each beat echoing in the stillness, a steady rhythm that underscored the gravity of the situation.

The muted colors of the tapestries and the dimmed light filtering through the curtains served as a stark b
