STOLEN SILENCEUpdated at Dec 18, 2025, 22:36
Aurora Vale never wanted to be brave.She was just a woman in the wrong place, at the wrong time—when she witnessed a murder that was never meant to be seen. By the time she realizes the truth, it is already too late. Someone knows her face. Someone knows her name.And silence is no longer an option.When the threats begin, Aurora is forced into the orbit of Aleksander Volkov—a man whispered about in the criminal underworld as a solution, not a savior. Dangerous, controlled, and mercilessly efficient, Aleksander does not promise protection.He promises containment.Under his watch, Aurora survives—but survival comes at a cost. Her movements are restricted. Her choices monitored. Safety feels disturbingly close to captivity. Aleksander’s protection is absolute, possessive, and unforgiving to anyone who dares come near her.Including herself.As enemies close in, Aurora begins to understand that the man holding her life together may also be the one taking it apart. Each act of violence meant to protect her pulls her deeper into a world ruled by power, blood, and control. And yet, beneath the fear, something far more dangerous grows—an attraction she cannot silence.But Aurora is not meant to remain silent forever.As betrayals surface and loyalties shatter, she learns the most important truth of all: survival does not mean submission. To escape being a victim, she must stop running—and start playing the game herself.In a world where silence is used as a weapon, Aurora must decide who she will become:A woman protected by a monster,or a woman who learns to bite back.Her silence was stolen.Her voice will be chosen.
