Debt of Silence

Indu_Singh_7153
On the outskirts of the city stands Ignite, a mansion surrounded by silence and mystery. It belongs to Leonid Voss, a powerful and calculating businessman whose influence shapes industries and whose cold control keeps everyone at a distance. Few people ever challenge him, and fewer survive doing so. Inside his empire works Aansi, a determined young woman whose life is quietly falling apart. When her mother becomes critically ill, the cost of treatment rises to an impossible amount. With no other option left, she turns to Leonid for financial help. Leonid offers assistance—but at a price. What begins as a desperate request turns into a dangerous agreement that entangles Aansi with the Voss family in ways she never expected. The arrangement draws her into the orbit of Leonid’s son, Zade Voss, a man as powerful and unpredictable as the empire he is destined to inherit. Zade is known for his ruthless independence and his refusal to belong to anyone. To him, relationships are temporary and loyalty is negotiable. Yet circumstances force Aansi and Zade into a binding arrangement meant to protect family interests and power. What begins as a strategic union quickly turns into a battlefield of control, pride, and hidden motives. Old agreements are broken, debts are repaid, and Leonid tightens a trap meant to secure his revenge and protect his legacy. But as power clashes with power, the truth behind Leonid’s real objective slowly begins to surface. Living under the same roof, Aansi and Zade are forced to navigate a tense marriage built on obligation rather than trust. Lines blur between hostility and attraction, and Aansi soon discovers that the Voss family’s world is far more dangerous than she imagined. Leonid’s growing and inappropriate interest in her complicates everything, turning the situation into a silent war of control and manipulation. The arrival of Anastasia, Zade’s girlfriend, threatens to shatter the fragile balance. When Aansi witnesses their intimacy, she decides to break free and demands a divorce. But the choice is no longer simple. Because in a world ruled by power, revenge, and secrets, every relationship has a price. And when Zade is finally forced to choose between the woman he once loved and the woman he married for reasons neither of them fully understood, the decision could destroy everything—or ignite something neither of them expected.

Hurt Me Like You Mean It [BL]

[Updates resume March. Due to exams] [This book contains, explicit and mature scenes—no r*pe. Not advised for viewers under 18, protect thy purity] Lance Dixon is drowning in a debt that isn’t his. His parents’ financial mistakes have fallen entirely onto him, and his life has collapsed into a constant struggle to stay afloat. He has never denied what he is. Lance is a masochist, and most people he’s dated couldn’t handle that truth. Every relationship ended the same way, leaving him with needs no one was willing to meet. Everything shifts on a night he drinks too much and ends up venting to a stranger. In a mix of frustration and alcohol, Lance jokes that he’d sell himself to anyone willing to pay off his debt. The stranger, Ansel Lowell, doesn’t brush it off. He asks how much. And when Lance tells him, Ansel offers a deal: three months living under his terms, in exchange for clearing the debt completely. The deal is straightforward and seems almost like relief. But as the days pass, the dynamic between them deepens in ways neither expected. What began as a simple exchange grows into a connection that is far more consuming, and far more dangerous, than either of them intended. [Excerpt] Lance meant to pull away when Ansel stepped closer, but his body didn’t move. Ansel’s hand hovered near his jaw, just close enough to make Lance’s breath catch. “Do you understand what you agreed to?” Ansel asked quietly. Lance swallowed. “You’re paying off my debt. I stay with you for three months. That’s it.” A hint of a smile tugged at Ansel’s mouth, which made him more dangerous because of it. “No, Lance. That’s the surface of it. I want you to hear the truth.” Lance’s pulse stumbled. Ansel leaned in just enough that Lance could feel the warmth of his breath. “I’m going to take up space in your life. I’m going to have you when I want you. I’m going to learn every weakness you try to hide, and I will use them. I will claim you, piece by piece, until you can’t tell where your choices end and mine begin.” Lance exhaled shakily. “Do you worst Mr. Lowell, I can handle it.”
