Little Serene

Aish_writer
Serene Frost was not born silent. Once, she was a bright, laughing girl—soft-voiced, full of wonder, and inseparable from the boy who lived next door. Ethan Leo was her first friend, her first confidant, her first love. Together they built secret hideouts, exchanged wildflower promises, and dreamed of growing up side by side. But childhood ended the day her stepmother shattered her voice. A “terrible accident,” they called it. A tragic fall. A wound that stole Serene’s speech—and gave her family the perfect reason to hide her, punish her, erase her presence. Her world collapsed into silence. Her only escape was writing—pages and pages of aching poetry, each line infused with longing, innocence, and pain. She published under an anonymous name. The world soon knew her as The Little Siren—the poet with the haunting voice she no longer possessed. Meanwhile, Ethan—torn away from her by lies he never uncovered—grew into a man shaped by power, betrayal, and an inheritance of cold ambition. The boy who once adored her vanished beneath the armor of the Leo empire. Years later, fate reunites them. Not as childhood sweethearts— but as husband and wife in a marriage arranged for business and revenge. He does not recognize the girl he once promised forever. She remembers everything. Ethan sees Serene as quiet, obedient, malleable. Serene sees Ethan as the boy who abandoned her… and the man who doesn’t know he is the muse behind her world-famous poems. Though silence stands between them, old emotions simmer beneath the ruins—jealousy, longing, tenderness, and a love neither knows how to hold without breaking. In Zurich, a single night of passion shatters the distance between them… and Ethan, terrified of feeling again, dismisses it as a mistake. That one sentence becomes a blade. Serene retreats behind unbreakable walls. Ethan realizes too late that the girl he loved… and the woman he wants… are the same person he is losing. Returning to England, the Leo estate becomes a battlefield of unsaid truths. Her silence is no longer weakness—it is punishment. His coldness is no longer strategy—it is regret. When the truth of their past finally surfaces— the accident, the stolen childhood, the poems, the identity of the Little Siren— Ethan must confront the monstrous shadows of his own family… and the guilt of not protecting the girl he once swore he would never let go. Their love story is messy, bruised, and unforgettable. It is a second chance carved out of tragedy. A battle between silence and forgiveness. Between the boy he was, the girl he lost, and the broken adults they became. And in the end, Serene must choose: Will she allow Ethan to be the man who finally hears her voice? Or will she walk away and reclaim the life that was stolen, even if it means breaking the heart that once belonged only to her?

Kaleidoscopic DxD

The complete collection of harunaru's fanfiction stories. ( Vol. 001 ) The Red Dragon Emperor & The Demon King of Sixth Heaven ( High School DxD/Fate ) Falling into a magic circle is one thing. Meeting a scary gun lady inside of it? That was scary. But turning into her, succeeding her, and inheriting her legend? Yeah, that was the icing on the cake.

He knew his life was supposed to be simple. He was supposed to live normal lives, get a normal education, perhaps someday give up the foolish notion of building his own harem and settle down with a nice girl. It would have been nice... It could have gone on forever. Then some S&M-wearing Fallen Angel shit came around and messed everything up.
