The Silence Between Bruises

**"The Silence Between Bruises"** tells the story of Amara, a woman who falls into an abusive relationship with Kian, who initially makes her feel seen and loved, but gradually controls and manipulates her. Over time, Amara realizes that love shouldn't make her feel small or invisible, and after a particularly violent incident, she leaves Kian. In her healing journey, she meets Elias, a man who listens, respects her boundaries, and allows her to rediscover herself. Through Elias’s support, Amara learns that she was never broken—just bruised—and begins to heal. Eventually, she forgives Kian not for him, but for herself. Her love with Elias is based on peace, safety, and mutual respect. The story emphasizes self-worth, healing, and the power of love that helps someone save themselves, not because they need saving, but because they are worthy of it.
