MATELDA: In Silence We Forgive
“It is about a house that holds its women the way old houses hold warmth—long after the source of it is gone.”
In the shadow of a crumbling empire, a fierce young heir and an untouchable older woman are bound by a legacy of secrets. This atmospheric lesbian romance weaves a web of high-stakes tension and cold fury within the walls of a sun-drenched villa.
As a slow burn attraction ignites amidst the spring rain and jasmine, they must navigate a dangerous dance where desire is a liability and the truth is the most lethal weapon of all. In a world defined by silence, can they survive a love that requires them to dismantle everything they once believed?
She has her father's eyes and a fury that threatens to burn down everything I've sacrificed to protect. In this world, love is a liability and desire is a death sentence."I'm not asking you to stop being afraid," Mia said. "I'm asking you to be afraid and stay anyway."
Some wars are fought with guns.Some are fought in silence.
The most dangerous ones are fought in the space between hate and love.
