He doesn't speak.
Not because he won't-
But because he can't.
Elias Vale is a mute billionaire CEO with a silence that echoes louder than any voice. He runs a graphic design empire with cold precision... and never lets anyone close enough to ask why.
Until Loria.
A quiet artist hired to create pieces for a Cartier campaign, Loria Haven never expected to be drawn to a man who's never said a word to her. But when his silence starts to feel like a language of its own-one she begins to understand-she realizes some stories are told not in words, but in presence.
As her art begins to uncover more than what's on the surface, she'll face secrets, scars, and a love that doesn't need sound to speak.

Silence And Honey
Silence and Honey I talked enough for both of us. He listened like he might never let go. Runerth Castellion was the boy with the sharpest eyes and the quietest heart. He didn't talk much-didn't smile much either. But he always showed up. For me. I had known him since we were twelve. Since I decided I was going to be his friend, whether he wanted one or not. I was the chatterbox play school teacher who sings songs about dinosaurs and glue sticks. He was the grumpy heir to a mafia empire no one talks about out loud and a CEO of a heritage company. We were never meant to fit but we did and we did not at the same time. All that until the fate tested us. Tested me. In a world where healing feels impossible, our bond became a refuge, a promise that no matter how dark the night, dawn was waiting. This is a story about the strength found in vulnerability, the power of a patient heart, and the beautiful, messy journey toward a love that saves.

When Pages Turn
In the bustling heart of the city, two very different lives quietly orbit-until a book club brings them crashing into each other's world. Claire-a soft-spoken freelance editor with a guarded heart and a love for vintage novels-is reluctantly dragged into a local book club by her outgoing best friend. Elias-a polished venture capitalist with a sharp mind, a complicated past, and zero time for fiction-is only there because of a promise to his late sister. One accidental meeting, one unexpected book, and one very long stare spark a slow, tender unraveling of their lonely routines. But can love bloom when life has taught them to hide the most vulnerable parts of themselves?Complete
The Space Between Our Lines
Have you ever felt a love that lives in silence, in the spaces no one notices? A longing that trembles in your chest but never finds its voice? What if the one who could fill the emptiness inside you is the one you are too afraid to reach for? What if every almost, every hesitation, every word left unsent has been shaping your life more than you realize? Can you find the courage before fear takes over? Can you cross the spaces that keep you apart without breaking yourself? What if the person you were meant to love has been walking beside you all along, yet you never dared to see them? What if the life you dream of exists only in the moments you almost live it? What if letting go is the only way to hold on? And when the lines between hope and heartbreak blur, will you recognize what you've been searching for before it slips away forever? In the quiet between longing and choice, between love and fear, the question remains for you, for me, for every heart that dares to hope: can we step into the life and the love that has been waiting for us all along?

The Quiet Violence Between Us

In a city ruled by power, their connection might be the one thing that destroys them... or sets them free.
Notes between us 🎹📝
Backstory: Adrian Vale was born into wealth - the kind that comes with power, respect, and danger. The Vale name carries weight, tied to an empire built on generations of business...and the darker world beneath it. To outsiders, Adrian is everything they envy: charm, fortune, legacy. But behind the tailored suits and expensive watches is a man who wants none of it. Music is his only escape - the piano, the only place he can breathe. In the Vale household, though, passion isn't purpose. His father made that clear: a man's worth comes from numbers, not melodies. When his father dies, Adrian inherits everything he never wanted - the money, the power, the loneliness. Every smile feels fake. Every date, a transaction. So now he tests people, playing the part they expect: the rich bachelor who can buy anyone's affection. Most fall for it. Until Rowan. Rowan Hart grew up in a house that was always one paycheck away from falling apart.Her mother works double shifts, her sister juggles school, and Rowan takes care of her ailing grandfather. Writing was her escape - a way to make sense of the chaos. Then, one night, her words reached someone. One story went viral, and suddenly, Rowan Hart was a name people knew. But success didn't change her heart. She still lives in the same small house, still worries about bills and hospital visits. She's learned that love and honesty mean more than money ever could. When Adrian Vale walks into her life - charming, distant, and too polished to be real and she sees something beneath the surface. Loneliness. The same kind she's written about for years. And maybe, just maybe, the stories she writes aren't just meant to heal her anymore. Maybe what's she's been writing was manifesting him to her.
In the shadow of diamonds (The Diamond He Never Saw)
He never said he loved her. But sometimes silence cuts deeper than words ever could. Sienna never walked away-not really. She stayed, she waited, she felt, while Nicholas mastered the art of saying nothing. But in the stillness between them, something fragile began to fracture. Now, with their paths crossing again in the shimmer of winter and the shadows of old secrets, Sienna finds herself caught in the quiet pull of what could've been-and maybe still is. Leonardo offers her clarity. Warmth. A promise without conditions. But love isn't always a rescue-it can be a reckoning. Torn between a man who speaks in silences and another who says all the right things, Sienna must confront the past that shaped her and the future she dares to want. Because some hearts bruise without breaking. Some goodbyes are never spoken. And some shadows shine brighter than diamonds.Complete
The Flame That Mourned Its Own Light
In a kingdom gilded by tradition and chained by silence, Elias stands as a noble heir raised in shadows-not to rule, but to endure. Quiet in manner, sharp in mind, and burdened by expectations, he watches the world of power turn-knowing that speaking too soon might shatter what little remains. He does not seek glory, nor vengeance. But when the line is crossed and the peace he holds dear begins to crumble, Elias must choose between loyalty to what once was... and the weight of what must be done. This is not a tale of fire born from rage. It is the story of a boy who became a flame- not to shine, but to survive.Complete
