Author:
Bárbara A. Insfrán B. is from a small city in Paraguay, Latin America, where she lives with her family and works part-time as an educator. She dedicates her free time to writing about the intriguing fictional world she has created; where she blends mysticism with eroticism and romance. She writes in English and her native Spanish, although most of her books are written in English. She loves to sit down and write without much planned, since her stories take shape on their own in front of her as she types them.

Her name is Caliope, and when she was a young girl, she never believed in happy endings. For her, there was nothing more than what you see in front of you. All she needed was her best friend Vanessa.

Her background is very simple; a foster child with foster parents that were everything but warm and caring. Regardless of that, she became a smart and responsible young woman, ready for whatever came her way. At least that is what she thought.

Her new job interview changed her life. It changed everything she ever believed in, and what she thought it was real. Her new boss is an amazing woman who has a son, something different from what he is made out to be.

As she discovers the hidden truth about her boss and her son, she has to prepare herself for a whole new world that will unfold to her.

The Awakening

Amra sat next to her smiling, took her hand into his. Elaine was patting Pronab's shoulder and thanking him repeatedly. Only Caliope was a little disturbed, and worried. 'You can talk again, why are you sad?' Amra squeezed her hand. 'It is how he made me talk' she replied to him mentally. Amra nodded 'I know, I am not happy about it either, but he asked my permission... he said, he would reach to his dark side, and through the kiss, he would absorb whatever was holding your voice, he promised me it wouldn't be a deep kiss, I was not going to let him live if he did not fulfill his promise.'


She sighed and smiled, nodding and squeezing his hand tightly, then leaning to kiss his lips. She then turned around and smiled at Elaine and Pronab. Her real worries were not the kiss, which kept sending electricity through her body; her worries were how Amra would react to it.


"I am sorry, Pronab... for slapping you... thank you for bringing back my voice..."
