The Quietest Knife

Willow wakes in a hospital bed injured, medicated, and alone. She is informed that her life, as she understood it, ended weeks earlier. Her fiancé is there. Calm. Controlled. He explains that they broke up before the accident and that the separation was mutual. He says he remained by her side only out of decency. He is already involved with someone else, his boss’s daughter, and speaks as though this version of events has always been established fact. No one in the room challenges him. The doctors attribute Willow’s disbelief to concussion and trauma. Nurses lower their voices and repeat the same explanation with careful reassurance until it becomes official, documented, and final. Each repetition strips away her certainty, replacing memory with doubt. When Willow looks to the one person who could contradict him, she finds no relief. Her fiancé’s closest friend, a man who has never hidden his dislike for her, says nothing. He offers a brief nod that confirms the narrative without words. With that single gesture, the past is closed. Every detail they present contradicts what Willow knows she lived. Weeks have been erased. Conversations have been rewritten. A relationship has been reassigned without her consent. If she resists, she will be labeled unstable, emotional, and unreliable. She will be the only one insisting that reality has been altered. So Willow stays silent. Within that silence, something colder begins to take shape. She begins to question why her fiancé needed the past rewritten at a moment when she cannot safely object. She begins to wonder why his closest friend chose this precise moment to agree. She begins to realize that decisions were made about her while she lay unconscious and defenseless. The Quietest Knife is a dark psychological romance centered on gaslighting, betrayal, and power disguised as care. It follows a slow, deliberate descent into manipulation, control, and revenge, where harm is inflicted quietly and authority wears the mask of concern. This is not a story about forgetting. It is a story about being rewritten calmly, professionally, and without resistance.

ANA: The Message I Should Never Have Sent

Anastasia’s life had always been loud in the quietest way possible. To the world, she was just another girl with too many thoughts and not enough answers. To her friends, she was Ana the one who laughed a little too hard, loved a little too deeply, and somehow always felt out of place, even in rooms she was born into. Her chaos didn’t begin with heartbreak. It began with silence. Ana came from wealth the kind that didn’t need to announce itself. Generational. Polished. Political. Perfect. Among six children, she was the outlier. The dark-skinned girl with pink lips and watchful eyes who never quite blended into the family portrait. While her siblings carried confidence like inheritance, Ana carried questions. She learned early how to smile without being seen. In high school, she loved the wrong boy the right way. It looked romantic from the outside hallway glances, late-night calls, the kind of attachment that makes teenagers feel immortal. But inside that relationship, Ana was shrinking. He was possessive in subtle ways. Distant when it mattered. Warm only when he wanted something. She called it love. It was slow drowning. But the real mistake the one that rewrote everything didn’t happen during a fight. It happened at night. Lonely. Hurt. Desperate for someone to understand her, Ana did something small. Something ordinary. Something dangerous. She messaged someone she should never have messaged. Not out of betrayal. Not at first. She just wanted advice. A different perspective. A voice outside the suffocating walls of her relationship. She typed out her frustrations. Her confusion. The things she was too embarrassed to admit to her friends. She pressed send. That was it. One message. One conversation that felt harmless. One person who listened a little too carefully. Who asked the right questions. Who understood her a little too well. He didn’t arrive like a hero. He arrived like comfort. And comfort can be far more dangerous than chaos. What started as advice became dependency. What started as conversation became secrecy. What started as harmless slowly turned into something darker something intoxicating. Because sometimes the person who saves you from drowning is the same one who pulls you deeper. Ana thought she was venting. She didn’t realize she was opening a door. This is not a story about a girl who falls in love. It’s about a girl who confuses attention for salvation. Who learns that vulnerability in the wrong hands can become a weapon. Who discovers that some connections don’t destroy you loudly they reshape you quietly. This is a story about a message that should never have been sent. About obsession dressed as understanding. About desire wrapped in danger. About the kind of darkness that feels like home before it feels like ruin. This is Ana’s story. And once you step inside it, there’s no going back.

Addicted to you

Yeri was once a succubus, a powerful and irresistible seductress who fed on desire. Now reborn as a stunning young woman in the modern world, she must navigate the confusing collision of her human innocence and her demonic memories. One night, fate leads her into the path of Shin Keir, a dangerously magnetic and notorious CEO known for getting everything he wants—except peace. Their accidental encounter sparks an intense, uncontrollable passion, and a single night together changes everything. *** Excerpt: The dream had returned. Same eerie forest. Same surreal woman in the crimson dress. But this time, the setting had changed slightly. She now stood at the edge of a cliff made of jagged, glowing red rocks that resembled oversized rubies. Scarlet butterflies floated around her like living embers. A thick fog blanketed the area like some forbidden realm between worlds. She turned to him, her smile soft, sweet—and somehow tragic. She was heartbreakingly beautiful, ethereal yet forlorn, like a love story written in fading ink. Shin had tried to call out, but the wind swallowed his voice. As he stepped forward, the woman mouthed something. He couldn't hear her. Then, in a horrifying instant, her body tilted, and she plummeted off the cliff. The despair that followed wasn't just a feeling—it was a full-body, soul-tearing scream that never made it past his throat. Without hesitation, Shin leapt after her. He awoke convulsing, drenched in cold sweat. His eyes gleamed with a strange madness, a devil struggling behind the polished CEO exterior. *** Disclaimer- Places and characters are all works of fiction.
