Broken Novel Novels & Stories

She dropped the phone and heard it fall on the shards of broken glass on the floor. The atmosphere was suddenly calm. The world was like it has paused in its track. The moon that shone in the sky was now swallowed by darkness and no stars to prove it. Then the air was becoming cold, blowing on like it had a secret to tell. Thaddeus looked down at the man below. The body made the greenish-gold environment which was once appealing look like a bright red passage to hell as blood flowed from the blood like a river down the street. From distance, crows guffawed.

"And I always will." I walked into my office at the shelter and closed the door. As rewarding as it has been to run this place, it's also so depressing sometimes. The women need so much help sometimes and they are so broken and it's just so hard emotionally. I wouldn't change it because I love that I get to help them but when we have a new girl here and she has been beaten to a bloody mess it just breaks something inside of you. That is what we had come in this morning. She had to wait until her boyfriend went to work to be able to leave, but he did a really bad number on her. We had to have our staff doctor come in and stitch her up and also put a splint on her arm.

My legs gave out and I sank to the floor. Great…I broke my bond…I broke a man’s face… I broke my friendship with Ivy… and I broke Nathan’s trust…all in one night. That's has to be a record.

It's just that I am a broken thing, And breaking is all I can give to the ones I love. I never really confided in anyone, never needed anyone or destroyed anything until I met that shit, it destroyed my life. I sent my hand down the back seat and caught a packet of block crystalline. I opened it up and grind some of it, regretting every second. I dissolve some of it and injected it through my veins like a fucking junky.

The water sloshed, wetting my hand. The glass slipped from my hold. The sound of the broken glass penetrated our ears. I peered at the broken shards and realized it was like my relationship with Noah. It was broken and can never be fixed.

Nick immersed himself in work and broke all contacts with Theo and Leah. He couldn't help but feel sore with Theo as well. It was his first heartbreak. And it hurt worse than a bullet straight to heart. The worst thing was he didn't know how to numb it. Leah also didn't try to contact him again. They were not the only people, he had isolated himself from everyone. A week later, deep in night, he got a message from Leah that said Theo had gone somewhere after a heated fight with his dad. And wasn't picking calls. Nobody knew where he was. She asked him if he could tell where he could go.

Then, he turned and left. A month later, we finalized the divorce. He gave me most of the company's profits from those years. I accepted without hesitation. A year later, I officially started dating Cedric. At 30, I had my second wedding with him. Much later, I found out that on the very day Cedric and I got married, Benjamin died in a car accident. All I felt was a quiet sense of reflection. Pink subtitles floated across my vision once more… [This 'second male lead wins' storyline is way more satisfying than all those chasing-after-the-wife or getting-back-together plots.]

My body shook with sobs I would not let become sound. The mark on my neck burned. Through the bond I felt him. Still standing in his study. Surrounded by scattered pages. His forehead pressed against the closed door. He was breaking. So was I. But I had been broken before. And I knew something he did not. Broken things can be rebuilt. But never in the same shape. And never for the person who broke them. I pushed off the wall and kept walking. Behind me through stone and distance and a bond that neither of us could sever I heard him whisper three words.

"But why would she do something like that? Didn't she have a reason?" "I've asked Caine for one reason but all he says is that it didn't work out. Which sounds vague every time I think about it." I massaged her feet as I went on. "She broke him. She broke Caine. He isn't the same man he once was, love. And he is the first man I know who had been broken by marriage. Or love." "Well, there are others." "I know. But I am a witness to this very one. So I don't take it lightly."

Hello Lovelies. From here the part two of this book SHATTERED YET STRONG will begin. It is the story of Gabriel and Louis. It will have the characters of book 1, BROKEN BUT BEAUTIFUL continues but they won't be focused much till the middle of the book. Also, this book mentions the triggers of rape, assault and heartbreak. I would suggest if it isn't your cup of tea, you may leave it here. Tabby Chapter 1. Letting the Pain out...
