Broke Into Novels & Stories

He pulled her to the side, out of earshot. “Alright, whose house did you break into?” “What?” “Based on all the things you're capable of, I wouldn't be surprised.

She held onto her upturned wheelchair and forced her legs to move. "Please....please...please," she desperately begged her legs to work. Just this once. She was scared. So scared. She didn't want to die like this. Broken sobs tore through her soul as she struggled. After a lot of efforts she managed to get to her feet but as soon as she let go of the wheelchair and took a step forward, her legs gave out and she dropped back to the ground.

Now it was time to call it in. “Leonel ,” I said, urgency in my voice as the phone rang. “Vincent ?” His voice sounded slightly groggy, but there was always a sharpness to it. “What’s going on?” “I need your help,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “Someone broke into my house today.

He took a deep breath and continued. "I can't take the weight of your love, I just can't. I'm getting lost on you, I feel like you'll be safe in the hands of another. I'm beyond damaged, I'm broken to the core. There are times I've felt maybe I'm not broken, just bent, but now, now I know I'm broken.

Someone broke into my house.

“The man who broke me… is the same man I fell in love with.” James opened his mouth to respond— And then he saw it. Movement. A shadow. Across the opposite building, barely visible in the dim light, a figure stood—hooded, masked. James’s blood ran cold. The man raised his arm. A gun.
