Sebastian Valente

Intro Short Story Synopsis: “Blood in Silence” Sebastian Valente is a name that echoes power, wealth, and danger. A feared mafia boss by night and a business tycoon by day, he rules the world on his terms. But behind the steel walls he built around his heart, there’s one soft spot — his wife, Aria. Aria is not like the others. She doesn’t crave his money, nor does she fear his darkness. She simply loves the man behind the empire. And for that, Sebastian loves her more than life itself. But not everyone is happy for them. Damien Cruz, Sebastian’s childhood best friend and right hand, has always been loyal — or so it seemed. Deep inside, Damien harbors a quiet obsession with Aria and a deep jealousy of Sebastian’s perfect life. Damien begins to plant doubts, twist truths, and manipulate everything behind the scenes — hoping to destroy their love, take Aria, and rise above the shadow of the man he once called brother. What Damien didn’t know was this: Sebastian may be silent, but he sees everything. And when it comes to Aria — he doesn’t forgive. He doesn’t forget. He eliminates. “You can betray me, Damien. But the moment you looked at her like she was yours… you signed your death.”
