baby

Ten months after the night that shattered her life, Lydia Austin returns to the same cold, shadowed room—this time carrying a secret she can no longer protect alone. In her arms is a baby born from loss, desperation, and a deal she never meant to remember. Crushed by debt, grief, and a past that refuses to stay buried, Lydia faces the man she once walked away from—the man who might be her child’s father. Powerful, distant, and furious, he demands the truth. What he finds instead is a woman who has already lost everything… and a child who changes the balance between them forever. One demand stands between them: a DNA test. One choice will decide whether their lives collide again—or separate for good.

“Only those who have suffered know what true pain is.” Those were Silence’s words to me. At the time, we did not understand the weight of that sentence. And because we did not understand it, we chose to return to the past. Again. And again. We believed that if we relived that pain, we could reclaim what had been taken, that we could exchange suffering for the ones we lost. It was only when we stood in that place once more that we finally understood— Beneath pain, there is not always hope. Sometimes, there is only another choice that was already wrong. The Veil’s Mark — Book II begins.

However, things quickly go south as she falls into the claws of a man who takes a possibly dangerous interest in her. Now she has more dangerous things to escape from and even far more life-threatening things to protect her son from. There was no way this could get even worse ….or so she thought. —— —— Mature Content. Begins with slow burn, survival and mystery. Detailed intimate scene comes later.

Elara Voss arrives in the coastal city of Valenreach believing she has chosen a life defined by clarity, reason, and careful ambition. Quiet, observant, and emotionally restrained, she trusts structure more than impulse and silence more than confession. It is in Valenreach’s old libraries and slow, thoughtful rhythms that she meets Rowan Hale—an introspective, perceptive man whose presence unsettles her precisely because it asks nothing of her and yet sees too much. Their connection forms gradually, built on conversations that drift toward meaning and silences that speak more than words. What begins as intellectual companionship deepens into a profound emotional intimacy neither is willing to name. Both believe in timing, in responsibility, in not disrupting lives—including their own. When Rowan leaves Valenreach for a future that promises stability but not fulfillment, neither speaks the truth they both recognize. What remains between them is unfinished. Years pass. Elara builds a respectable life shaped by practicality and social expectation, mistaking emotional quiet for contentment. Rowan finds success elsewhere, yet carries with him the persistent sense of having abandoned something essential. Though they are separated by distance and time, their bond survives as memory and comparison—an unspoken measure against which all other connections fall short. When circumstance draws them back into each other’s lives, they are older, more guarded, and burdened by choices already made. The love they never claimed now demands acknowledgment, but honesty comes with consequences neither can avoid. As long-suppressed truths surface, Elara and Rowan must confront what love means when it arrives late—and whether recognizing it is enough. The Shape of What We Never Said is a quiet, devastating romance about timing, restraint, and the courage it takes to speak when silence has become habit. It explores how lives are shaped not only by the choices we make, but by the words we leave unsaid—and what remains after truth is finally spoken.

She kindly wanted to pry his mouth open to forcibly feed him. Sheng Zexi: "Keep a bit of distance from me; I’m afraid your stupidity will rub off on me. Obviously, a small bamboo chip would do."
