When love Cost Me You is a heartfelt story of unspoken love, missed chances, and the pain of realizing one's feelings too late. Dennis, a reserved and caring teacher, has harbored deep feelings for his colleague Lilian but never found the courage to confess. He watches over her from the sidelines, always there but never crossing the line. Lilian, on the other hand, assumes Dennis sees her only as a friend-especially when he gives her no reason to think otherwise. When Raymond, the charming and ambitious son of the school's principal, enters the picture, everything shifts. He and Lilian quickly form a strong bond, and as she grows closer to him, Dennis begins to feel a strange, unfamiliar ache-jealousy. Yet, when she asks Dennis what he thinks of Raymond, hoping for a sign of something deeper between them, his response confirms her doubts: "He's cool. Any lady that bags him sure did win a medal. You both would make a good couple." With those words, Dennis unknowingly pushes Lilian away, and she finally allows herself to embrace her feelings for Raymond. Their growing closeness and eventual engagement force Dennis to confront the painful truth-he has lost her, not because someone else stole her heart, but because he never had the courage to claim it in the first place. A story of love, regret, and the cost of silence, When Silence Cost Me You explores how hesitation can sometimes be the biggest mistake of all.
The rhythmic hum of Dennis's motorcycle filled the early morning air as he slowed to a stop at the familiar corner. Lilian was already waiting, her arms wrapped around her books, her long cardigan swaying in the morning breeze. She smiled as she approached.
"You're early today," she teased, adjusting her bag before swinging a leg over the bike.
Dennis chuckled lightly. "For once, yeah."
This had become their routine-riding to school together, sharing small conversations that should have meant nothing but somehow meant everything. Dennis had never been good at words, but with Lilian, silence felt comfortable.
The high school where they worked came into view-a private institution owned by a well-known businessman. It was a respectable place, one that demanded professionalism from its teachers, yet the environment remained warm. Students walked the halls with familiarity, teachers exchanged greetings, and the scent of fresh chalk and old books lingered in the air.
Dennis parked his bike in their usual spot. As they made their way inside, Annie called out to them from the staff lounge, waving a hand with a cup of coffee in the other. "The duo is here. Lilian, you sure Dennis isn't charging you for gas?"
Lilian laughed, shaking her head. "If he is, he hasn't told me yet."
Dennis only smirked, used to Annie's playful teasing. She had been a good friend since he started teaching here, offering advice and the occasional dose of sarcasm.
As the morning passed, Dennis found himself distracted in class. He watched Lilian through the glass-paneled teachers' room across the hall, her expression animated as she explained something to a student. She was passionate about teaching, about life, and it was one of the many things he admired about her.
And yet, he said nothing.
That afternoon, as they rode home, Lilian sighed, resting her chin lightly on his shoulder. "It's been a long day."
Dennis swallowed hard. It was moments like this-so simple, so natural-that made him wish he could say what was in his heart.
But, as always, he stayed silent.

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
