Novel & Cerita Broken Like You

A voice interrupted from behind him. Rio, his personal assistant, stood there with a deeply worried expression. He stepped closer, trying to stop his boss’s hand as Jackson reached for a second bottle of wine. “The wedding has already happened. Please stop drinking so much, sir. Tomorrow—” Hearing that warning, what remained of Jackson’s reason, already consumed by alcohol and jealousy, snapped. “Shut up!” Jackson barked, his eyes red and blazing with fury. Crash! Without thinking, Jackson hurled the half-full bottle of wine with all his strength. The bottle flew past Rio’s head, shot through the air, and shattered against the marble wall behind him. Dark red liquid streamed down the wall li

“Now spill.” My hand flew to the bridge of my nose, pinching hard enough to leave a mark. Maybe if I focused on the pain, I could ignore her. “We didn’t break up,” I growled. “There was nothing to break up. It was... transactional.” Victoria’s grin widened. “Oh, transactional. Sounds fancy. What were you, His sugar baby?” I glared at her so hard I thought she might burst into flames. “It’s none of your business.”

“Tell me how much you love being my little pain slut. Tell me how badly you need me to ruin you.” He’s crying, shaking, completely broken. Good, he can't go back to normal after this.

“Partners have told you it’s your fault?” “Yes.” I look down at my hands. “They say I’m too tense. Or that I’m faking the buildup to make them feel good. Some get angry. Some just… stop trying.” My voice cracks on the last word. “But it’s real. I feel broken.” He leans forward slightly. Elbows on knees. The movement brings him closer without crowding. “You’re not broken.” Simple. Firm. No pity. Just fact. My eyes snap up to his.

“I had three children looking at me. Waiting for me to be strong.” He set his cup down on the table carefully. “I know I hurt you.” I turned back to face him. “Do you?” I asked. He swallowed. “Yes.” I walked closer again, stopping just a few steps away from him. “My heart was broken,” I said, my voice steadier than I felt. “Not cracked. Not slightly damaged. Broken.” His jaw tightened. “Can you tell me something?” I continued. He nodded slowly. “If a glass breaks… if it shatters into pieces… can you put it back together and make it look the same again?”

’ I say as Edmond comes to sit beside me. ‘I love you mate’ I tell him as I stare up at him, right through his eyes. ‘I love you too a billion times’ he says as he devours my mouth. My life is so full now and I would never exchange this for nothing in the world. If there is one thing I have learnt, it is that nothing really is impossible because if a broken Pieces of a heart could be fixed, then everything can be fixed once you find the right people. The end.

"This happened because Camilla is obsessed and dangerous. That is not your fault." "Is it not?" He moved to the window. "Everyone who gets close to me ends up damaged somehow. Jennifer. Rebecca. Now you." "I am not damaged." "Not yet." He turned, and the pain in his face was devastating. "But you will be. That is what I do, Hartley. I break things. Even when I am trying not to." I stood, crossing to where he stood. "Then maybe I am already broken. Maybe that is why I fit so perfectly into your fractured world."

I yelled. "Oh and by the way Aubrey blocked you, just like what I'm about to do. Bye hoe. Nice knowing you. It's a pity that our friendship broke off over your slutty ways." I said before hanging up. She needs to go.

"What do you gain?" "Nothing. Everything." I moved to the window beside her. "I've been where you are. Broken. Controlled. Used as a weapon. Someone helped me. Now I help others. That's how it works." "What if we can't be fixed? What if we're too broken?" "Then we learn to live broken. Find strength in the cracks. Build something new from the pieces." I met her eyes. "You're not alone. None of you are. Not anymore."

“We’re not.” "Oh fuck yeah! We will never be broken. We broke people and never get broken!" And for the first time in a long time, Claire believed it.
