The Silencing True Story Novels & Stories

“Three... two... one…” The red light came on. Justin looked into the camera. His voice was low but firm. “My name is Justin Smith-Montemayor. I was a top executive at FRGR Holdings. I’m here to tell you what the company doesn’t want you to know.” He detailed the shell companies. The bribery. The threats. The attempts on our lives. And then he turned to me. “This is Joanna Cruz,” he said. “She’s the real hero here. She stood by the truth even when everyone else ran. And because of her, people are finally listening.”

But his feet did not move. He waited, hoping she might reply to him, maybe even smile at him. But just as he expected, Nissa completely ignored him. Benjamin smiled self-deprecatingly to himself and left dejectedly. On the third day, the authorities confirmed the truth behind the food poisoning incident.

Charlotte said, but Andrew didn't listen and by the time he got to the door, I had left , with my heart broken into a million pieces. How did I get here? It seems everything and everyone had a vendetta against me. What was my offense exactly, I have seen mute people leave a more fulfilling life than I will ever dream of.

There's something fragile about how quiet the room is. My phone rings. Timothy. I watch the name blink on the screen, and my fingers tap the green button before I can stop myself. His voice comes through the speaker, too high and yet so soft, “I miss you alrea—” I press the red button so fast, my fingers trembling. My father coughs, a sharp sound that makes my blood run cold. Did he hear?

Then, your drones spelled out 'Salvatore loves Irene forever' over Palemore while Sophia was sitting in your car. "You wanted me to believe you. However, you didn't even believe your own words." Salvatore's lips trembled. "I didn't know about the kidney—" "It doesn't matter anymore," Liliana said. "Whoever donated the kidney doesn't change what you did to me." She looked at him, her eyes as calm as a mirror.

She sat on a low stool in front of him, gently taking his hand. "This is going to hurt," she whispered. "I’ve had worse," Silas lied, though his jaw was tight with pain as she began to clean the deep wounds. The room was quiet, filled only by the distant sound of the wind outside and the low hum of a small heater. For the first time since they had met, there were no cameras, there were no reporters, no board members, and no fake smiles for the public. There was just the two of them in a small, dimly lit room, hidden away from a house that wanted them dead.

Both of our lives had been left in a state of permanent, aching incompleteness my father leaving behind a letter with missing pages, and Silas left with a mother whose true cause of death was buried under a mountain of bureaucratic certainty. “It’s not just that he endorsed the findings,” Silas said, his voice gaining a hard, crystalline edge as he looked at the documents. “It’s that he ensured the investigation stopped exactly where it needed to. He didn't just sign the papers; he closed the doors. He made sure there were no more questions to be asked, no more witnesses to be called. He turned the truth into a closed book.” “And now he’s doing it to me,” I realized, a cold shiver racing dow

Generations of decisions had hurt innocent people. Generations of silence had allowed corruption to survive. I had a choice. I could protect the Vane name. I could hide certain truths. I could present a cleaner version of history. The old Silas would have done exactly that. But I was no longer that person. So I told the truth. Everything. The mistakes. The failures. The people who contributed to the corruption. And the people who fought against it. I refused to pretend my family was innocent. But I also refused to accept that a person was only the worst thing they had done.

“It is just hearing it, seeing the green on the reporters faces.” My throat constricts; the lump of fear and anger threatening to choke me. This isn't just some petty revenge; this is a calculated destruction of his life, his reputation, everything he worked for. This is a public shaming of the man I love. “Do not let him get you down,” I tell him. “We need to get the true story out, show that Silas is the bad guy.”

He stood there, his hands braced on the wood, leaning forward until he was looming over the terrified directors. "My uncle Julian is currently in a high-security holding cell," Silas said, his voice a low, dangerous rumble. "He’s been very talkative about who helped him funnel pack funds into a resonance machine designed to enslave your own Alpha.
