A Heart Worth Stealing Novels & Stories

She was way prettier than I'd ever be, and I was quick to admit it. "So this was all just a game to you?" I sobbed, turning to Ryder who had a look of annoyance, but dull interest on his face. "Sure was," Ryder grinned maliciously, "and you fell for it, you stupid whore." "You took my heart and then spit on it after you crushed it," I whispered, eternal pain in my now shredded heart, "I didn't take you to be the type of person to play with my emotions like I was some sort of puppet!"

She tucked the figurine into her clutch, while she mentally updated the transaction as the weirdest encounter she ever had with a client.

She understood that the goddess’s mark had shown her the truth or warning. “It’s not about losing them,” she said, her voice flat but sure. She looked at Ash. “It’s about losing you. That thing out there built a new heart for itself from the stolen pieces of everyone we love. It took their joy, fears, love, all twisted for itself. It’s offering to give them back, but only if we volunteer to become a part of it, too. We’d walk into that square, Ash. We’d hug Elara, and we’d feel happy. We’d sit at our tables and eat a meal that has no taste, no warmth and we’d never feel pain again.

“ As I was saying, I had a little chat with him, and he begged to do one more job for us to buy your mercy.” “So what do you think, can it be bought?” I take a deep breath as I think about it. Is he really worth trusting? A man who took my trust for granted. A man who I helped so earnestly, went behind my back to try and steal from me. He was going to take my girl away and steal my goods too. Death felt like a pardon, and I did not want to pardon him. What would be worse than death? For a man who sought to steal my source of happiness?

“We’ve come to worship the Worldheart,” she says, bowing to the fortress. “To feed it… *properly*.” The static recoils. These aren’t survivors. They’re zealots. The Hunter materializes, roots bristling. ***You serve the Seed.*** “We serve its *potential*,” the woman purrs. “Unlike you, who cling to its leash.” Her followers unveil their offering: a pulsing, fleshy orb—a stolen god’s heart. “A gift. To help it… *bloom*.”

But I need to do it. If you do, they wanted me to call me crazy because of this mindset? Well, you're free to call me that. You can even slap me because I deserve that. I don't want to see him broken but I still want to continue my plan. MISSION: BREAK MY BOYFRIEND'S HEART. But... But how to break a heart? How to break his heart, I can't break his heart just like that, I love him so damn much… Suddenly, I saw Charles' face flashing in my mind…

A boy was now by the tree, on that she could actually see, and he was staring at the unnaturally hovering heart with horror in his eyes. "Have you lost your mind, Lex? You have killed Father's stallion." "Heart collection." Came a childlike excited voice. "I want a heart collection!" "Look at that, the maddening pride in his eyes." The Bride Thief's voice floated to her ears. "Don't you think it's lovely?" Feigning interest, Belladonna stared ahead before she leaned backwards with a huff of defeat.

Isn’t this you endangering her life,” he said and a wicked smirk curled up my face. I whistled slowly and leaned forward. “She should have thought of that before stealing from me.” I pinned my dark stare on him. “Alessandro Caruso, doesn’t run a charity organization and you should know well by now that concern is not my thing.” He blinked and my smile widened. “What’s the fun knowing I’m coming back to enjoy after a long day? Knowing I have my play thing at home…. a toy to mess with.”

"I'll let you know when I have things figured out." "If he hurts you, call me, understand?" Reno whispered. I nodded. "Nice to see you Hobbs." "You too Reno." Hobbs was attempting to sound angry and tough, but I knew he was warming up to Reno. "You are playing a dangerous game, Jovie." Hobbs informed me. "I know." I replied. "But that boy out there is the first person to steal something from me that I can't get back." "What did he take?" "My heart. And now it's his forever."

He then clapped his hands and said loudly, “Everyone, come and have a look! Someone has stolen something! A necklace worth eight million dollars was stolen. This is more exciting than a movie! Don’t let him run away!” Owen’s announcement caused a hubbub… A group of people surrounded Harvey after a while and they were all pointing fingers at Harvey. Many people were even more jealous and could not help cursing after they saw a cold and aloof goddess standing next to Harvey. “Don’t fall in love if you don’t have money!
