Broken By Evelyn Miller Novels & Stories

“I reject our bond.” The moment the words left her mouth, the pain hit her like a tidal wave. Elara gasped, her knees buckling as a searing pain tore through her chest. It was as if someone had ripped a piece of her soul from her body, leaving her hollow and broken. The bond between her and Luka—the connection that had once felt so powerful, so unbreakable—shattered in an instant, and the agony of it nearly brought her to the ground. She clutched her chest, her breath coming in ragged gasps as the pain threatened to overwhelm her. Tears streamed down her face, but she forced herself to stay upright, to push through the hurt.

Giving up her job would mean resigning herself to a life of mediocrity with the Shows. Thus, she argued with Laura. However, the old woman was a master manipulator. Even though she had beaten Queenie severely, she played the victim in front of Francis, milking his sympathy.

It dated back to their grandmothers' generation. Back then, Wynn's grandmother, Dorothy, and Celeste's grandmother, Betty, had been close friends. However, Dorothy had married poorly and lived in hardship. Betty had often supported her financially. Later, Lilian and Isabelle had become best friends as well. The Locket and Rodriguez families were of equal status. Harvey and Isabelle had fallen in love freely, and in the beginning, their relationship was strong. But everything changed when Lilian returned after graduating from university. To elevate Lilian's status, Dorothy had ruthlessly severed ties with Betty.

And Bella would soon forget everything and start a new relationship with someone else, as if nothing had happened. Evan violently throws everything on the table and breaks the glass table with his fist. Why, after all, can't he get over the pain of losing his love for someone else? He felt anger and heartache, unable to comprehend how easily Bella had moved on. The broken mirror reflected his broken heart, which reflected the pieces of his own shattered dreams.

"She just... stopped." The words landed like a blow. For several seconds, I stood there looking at Evelyn, trying to reconcile the woman in front of me with the woman I knew. Evelyn had survived things that would've destroyed most people. She had fought through betrayal, heartbreak, loneliness, and grief. She always fought. But now she looked like someone who had reached the limit of what she could endure.

Evelyn interrupted gently but firmly. Her voice trembled slightly now. “Yes, we went through a lot recently together. Yes, you protected us. Yes, you almost lost your life trying to save Ethan.” Her eyes grew glossy. “But none of that changes the past.” The room became deathly silent. Evelyn looked directly at him now. “You broke me, Adrian.” The words landed like knives. “You humiliated me… ignored me… chose another woman over me while I begged for your love.” Adrian’s breathing slowed painfully.

Annie felt a small spark of hope. But that hope didn’t last long. Because at that exact moment Selena moved. It was quick. So quick no one reacted in time. She stepped forward And pushed. “Ah!” Mrs. Miller’s scream echoed through the mansion as her body lost balance at the top of the staircase. Everything slowed down. Annie’s eyes widened. “Watch out!” But it was too late. Mrs. Miller tumbled down the long marble staircase. Her body hit each step with a sickening sound.

Damian came to my door again, humbling himself with a plea. This time, he wasn't here to see the pup. He was bringing his last and most consequential offering. The door opened, and I stepped out calmly. Hope sparked instantly in Damian's eyes. His voice trembled as he called out, "Eva." His voice was hoarse, rough, and ragged from emotion. "I've decided to sever the mate bond with Chloe." The air seemed to freeze. I watched him quietly, my gaze passing through him, lost in the distance beyond.

Time flashed on, and the sound poured in broken fragments out of her throat as he plunged towards the pavement below without her following him. The sharp stop of her own fall had been too much for her clammy grip upon him. It had broken them apart like shattered china, and left her to watch as beyond her reach, Death unfurled its black cloak and consumed the life light that had been Mr. James. A chorus of horror from the onlookers below mimicked Evelyn’s as the earth rushed up to catch Russell James with a dull thud she could hear, even dangling high above.

My blood could clearly be seen on the floor and it was really hurting, I can't take this anymore, I really can't. "Kareem please, it's hurting please" I begged. "Keep quiet! One more word from you and I'll do worst than this" "Ka...Ka....Kareem" I said and fell down, then darkness took over me. ____PRESENT DAY____ Maryam's POV "I was asked to give this note to you Miss Maryam". Mrs Tania said as she smiled. "Thank you". I can't believe this, he still write to me! "Congratulations,I'm sure your benefactor will be very happy!". I smiled again and she left.
