THE SILENCE BETWEEN FLOORS
Adventure THE SILENCE BETWEEN FLOORS
In a glass tower that touches the clouds, secrets fall faster than stocks.
Mara Vale is invisible by design-an executive assistant who moves through Crowe Dynamics unnoticed, memorizing schedules, smoothing crises, and keeping powerful men comfortable. Until the night her boss stays too late. Until a single mistake becomes a dangerous dependency.
Lucien Crowe is everything the world admires: billionaire CEO, devoted husband, father of two, architect of a corporate empire built on immaculate reputation. What no one sees is the fracture beneath the polish-or the woman who becomes his most catastrophic risk.
Their affair lives in shadows: coded elevators, deleted messages, locked doors. But when Mara discovers she is pregnant and refuses to disappear quietly, the machinery of power turns against her. Contracts. Threats. Silence bought and sold.
She chooses noise.
As journalists circle and lawsuits ignite, a dynasty begins to collapse. A marriage disintegrates. A company hemorrhages billions. And the man who once owned every room must answer to a woman he believed he could erase.
Dark, provocative, and razor-sharp, The Silence Between Floors is a psychological romance-thriller about consent and coercion, ambition and consequence, and what happens when a single voice echoes louder than an empire. You might like

G.Gordon CRACK.
Daniel landed a clean punch right to Leo's jaw. I gasped, hand flying to my mouth, but internally? Oh god, that was satisfying to watch.
Ally and I latched onto each other, giggling like schoolgirls, and took this as our cue to GTFO.
We bolted from the VIP section, dodging security and weaving through the crowd until we reached the DJ stage. The bass rattled my bones, the lights flashing in dizzying neon colors.
Ally clutched my arm. "What the hell did you say to that guy, Daniel?"
I burst into laughter, now fully slurring. "I told him that Leo was my obsessive ex. That I had a restraining order against him, and he wouldn't leave me alone."
Ally's jaw hit the floor. "Celeste. YOU DIDN'T."
I grinned wickedly. "I did. And then I told him if he protected me, he could have me all night long."
Ally full-on SCREAMED, grabbing my shoulders. "You evil little genius."
We howled with laughter, ignoring the chaos happening behind us. The VIP section was in full-blown war mode, but us? We were thriving.
Dancing, spinning, arms in the air, riding the high of the night. We climbed onto one of the podiums, bodies moving with the music, our dresses clinging to our curves. We were reckless. We were untouchable.
Until we weren't.
One second, I was basking in my freedom. The next, a pair of strong hands gripped my thighs, and before I could react-I was THROWN over someone's shoulder.
Everything tilted. My stomach lurched. I shrieked, pounding my fists against a broad, muscular back.
"WHAT THE FUCK-PUT ME DOWN!"
I twisted my head, and even through my blurred, drunken vision, I knew exactly who had me.
Leo.

Celeste never wanted this life. She never wanted the weight of her family's name, the blood-stained legacy, or the ruthless enemies lurking in the shadows. And she sure as hell never wanted to marry Leonidas Astor-the man who once meant everything to her as a child, until he turned her world into a nightmare.
Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, Celeste and Leo are bound by an inescapable contract, tangled in a web of power, revenge, and deadly secrets. But when Celeste uncovers a chilling truth-one that shatters the foundation of their hatred-she realizes she's been fighting the wrong enemy all along.
The real monster has been hiding in plain sight. And now, both of them are running out of time.
With danger closing in and betrayals lurking around every corner, Celeste must decide: Can she trust the man who ruined her life? Or will this marriage be the beginning of her downfall?
Vows were made. Lies were told. And in a world where love and money are weapons, Celeste is about to find out just how deadly it can be. Wake Up, Dream Boy!
Mr. Ben Having some of the poems in the first edition of the poem collection, ‘The P.O.T (Poured Out Thoughts)’ published in several poetry magazines as High On Poems, Earthborne Magazine, Deadsnakes and so on, the author has ushered in the second, titled ‘The P.O.T (Poured Out Thoughts) ---The Reloaded.
It is said to be ‘reloaded’ because there are other poems to be added to make this edition slightly richer than the first. With poems as ‘Out of the Box’, ‘Dad Loves Me’, ‘Heralding God’s Magnificence’ being published in notable poetry journals and magazines, the sequel is hoped to make an impact to the entire world, beginning with the readers.
The Table of Contents has the additional poems that readers, who have read the first edition, would realize. They are intended to look into general issues, family, gender, parental, religious (Christian faith), children, love and personal/motivational.
The aim behind this piece is simple. As said in the first edition, it is about entertaining, enlightening, inspiring or motivating and enabling people think for themselves.
Worthy of Note: The author believes that subsequent edition(s) of the work would carry the above-stated aim.
