twisted

Raven Foster has learned that silence is survival. At home, it keeps the peace. At college, it keeps her invisible. Bruises are hidden beneath long sleeves, apologies come easily, and obedience has become second nature. Raven has spent her life being everything others need her to be—daughter, caretaker, emotional crutch—while quietly disappearing in the process. Her closest friendship is built on obligation rather than choice. Sophie is admired, confident, and always praised for her loyalty to Raven. But behind closed doors, that loyalty tightens into control, and kindness becomes something Raven must earn. The dynamic is familiar. Comfortable. Dangerous. College is supposed to be a fresh start, yet Raven finds herself tethered to the same patterns—until small fractures begin to form. A roommate who notices too much. A chance collaboration with Aiden, someone who doesn’t demand explanations or gratitude, only honesty. And moments that force Raven to confront a truth she has spent years avoiding: silence has protected her, but it has also kept her trapped. As family secrets surface and old accusations resurface with brutal force, Raven is pushed to the edge of everything she has learned to endure. Loyalty is tested. Trust becomes risky. And speaking—really speaking—threatens to cost her the last scraps of belonging she has left. Tethered to Silence is a dark, emotionally grounded novel about coercive relationships, misplaced loyalty, and the slow, uneven process of reclaiming agency. It explores what happens when survival stops being enough—and the quietest voice finally decides to choose itself.

Evelyn Walters was the perfect heiress, until one reckless night with her father’s greatest enemy ruined everything. Pregnant, disgraced, and cast out of the Walters family, she left with nothing but her unborn child. Years later, she's survived. But as a single mother, the life she built was fragile until the man from her past discovered the truth. Now he wants her and his son. But how can Evelyn trust the father of her child... when he's also the enemy of the man who raised her? **** Excerpt: "B-Boss... the woman you slept with that night... she wasn't the supermodel the company just signed," Dylan stammered, his voice trembling. Axel's brow furrowed even further. He tried digging through the hazy, alcohol-soaked memories of that night.  Of course, he remembered the party. He remembered the whiskey. But the woman? Nope. His brain served up a blank slate. "Who was she?" Dylan swallowed. "The first daughter of William Walters." "Cough! Cough!" Axel coughed violently, his face turning red and eyes wide with shock. He never thought that woman would end up in his bed.  --- Curiosity won, as always. Evelyn grabbed the remote and hit the power button. The screen lit up, and her jaw dropped. Her eyes went wide, as if the Grim Reaper himself had just stepped out of the TV to ask for her phone number. “What the…? Why does my personal source of misery pop up the second I turn this thing on?” Because there he was, Axel Knight, gliding out of his luxury car like some corporate deity on his way to a business banquet. Evelyn scrambled for the remote to turn it off, but of course, fate had other plans. Axel turned to the camera and gave a casual wave, acknowledging the paparazzi vultures lined up outside. She hated to admit it, but the man looked sinfully good in his signature black suit and high turtleneck, his sleek black hair framing a face that could stop traffic and quite possibly her breathing. Then, suddenly, her stomach clenched. Her hand instinctively rubbed her flat belly. “Little tenant, did you just say you recognize him?”

ADRIAN HAYES (our ML, 18) unpacking in his dorm room at Greystone University, mentally preparing his "Year of Winning" manifesto. Flashbacks pepper the scene—stolen crayons at age 5, losing races at age 10, the basketball championship defeat three months ago where DANTE ALARIC scored the winning point. Each memory is a paper cut, death by a thousand second places. Adrian's internal monologue establishes him as witty but deeply insecure, someone who's built his entire identity around being "the guy who almost wins." He's likeable, self-deprecating, but clearly using humor as armor.

Maya, an omega, has been a victim of bullying since she turned sixteen and was found out to be without the wolf gene or trait. Her chief tormentors were the three sons of the Lycan King who ruled over the entire werewolf regions, taking into captive colonies that defied his order. After being set up by a jealous classmate, Maya is beaten and left for dead at the borders of their pack by the king’s three sons, who told the pack that she had been captured by some rogues. Maya is saved by a witch who adopted and drilled her on the ways of the ancient magic and sorcery, whilst encouraging and preparing her for a huge revenge plan which threatens to upset the balance of the world and unleash the great threads of darkness seven years later when she returns to her previous pack to perpetrate justice on her tormentors. She comes at a crossroads, however, when she discovers her true heritage and that her mate was the biggest bully there ever was, Adam Brekans, eldest son of the lycan king. What happens now? Would Maya continue on her quest for revenge? Or would she submit to the threads of love so that peace could reign?

I am 20 year Old an ordinary girl who never dreamed of becoming part of a mafia world; my life was simple, quiet, built on hard work and silent endurance, because I learned early that not every tear deserves to be seen. I never imagined fate would place me before a man whose name is spoken with fear, a ruthless mafia king with merciless eyes, bloodstained hands, and a heart that knows only command and punishment, where people either survive by his will or perish by it. Becoming his wife was never my choice but a compulsion, a deal that brought me into his fortress-like mansion for one reason alone his six-month-old daughter, a motherless, innocent soul who needed care. He made it clear from the beginning that I was a wife only in name, brought into his life solely to raise his child, with no claim over his world, his decisions, or his heart. Yet when that little girl wrapped her tiny fingers around mine, trusting me without fear, my resolve shattered, and she slowly became my entire world my strength in her smile, my weakness in her cries. Through her, I began to see another side of the man everyone feared: a father who went silent before his child, whose hands that had spilled blood trembled when holding her. Caught between his rage, his silence, and his dark secrets, I was no longer just an observer, and every time his daughter called me “mother,” something flickered in his eyes. I know this path is dangerous, that the man I married does not believe in love and sees relationships as mere necessities, yet the heart is stubborn, slowly carving cracks into his stone-cold soul. This story does not begin with love, but with fear, compulsion, and captivity and perhaps, somewhere in this darkness, destiny has left a trace of light, even if I do not yet know whether my end with this mafia king will be life, death, or love.

At that time, she seemed to be drunk and was persuaded by her friend to take to the dance floor and perform a dance. He propped up his face, watching the glamorous woman with casual indifference under the dazzling lights. Daisy Ginger. The name is spicy enough. The figure. Also spicy enough. * Banyan City’s young Master Wen, afflicted with a severe illness, was deemed by doctors at birth to not live past the age of thirty.

He was an extremely wealthy CEO. His hobbies were clinging to his wife and pampering her to the extreme. One day, the bodyguard reported, "Sir, Madam went to chase her ex-fiancé!"
