Cinta Membawa Luka Novels & Stories

“Let them talk. Let them hate. I don’t care what they think. You don’t have to get used to their hate or their insults. You don’t have to pretend to be strong all the time. You’re allowed to break, to cry. Just don’t let them make you believe you’re not enough.” My tears fell harder. His thumbs brushed them away, but more came. “You make it sound so easy,” I whispered. He gave a small, sad smile. “It’s not easy. But it’s worth it. Because you’re worth it.” I looked at him through blurry eyes. “Then why does it hurt so much?” “Because love always hurts when it’s real,” he whispered. “But it also heals. And I promise you, Nora, I’ll spend every day trying to make it heal more than it hurts.”

“Because you’ve been carrying too much alone. You deserve peace, Adrian. Even if it means… letting go of Rosemary.” “Let her go?” Adrian let out a weak laugh, his eyes hazy. “I can’t. I love her.” Cassandra touched his face gently. “Sometimes love only hurts. Maybe it’s time to let someone heal you… someone like me.” Adrian’s head grew heavy. “What… what did you do?” he mumbled, voice slurred. “Relax,” Cassandra whispered, her smile darkening slightly. “Just something to calm you down. You need rest.”

Let her break down in my arms where no one else could see. "I'm sorry," she gasped when she finally calmed. "I'm such a mess." "You're my mess," I said. "And I love every broken piece of you." "How?" She pulled back to look at me. "How can you love someone this damaged?" "Because you're not damaged." I cupped her face. "You're healing. There's a difference. Damaged implies broken beyond repair, but you're not broken, Beatrice. You're wounded. And wounds heal given time and care."

Where the broken mate bond had left its mark. “What I bring is this,” she said. “We will heal the severed mate bond. Not reconnect to Lyra. That ship has sailed, and should be left in sail. But the reserves will be absorbed, and-promise-the scar tissue will dissolve. Someday you'll be able to build a true mate bond with someone else. If you choose to. If you find someone worthy of binding yourself to.” I stopped breathing. Men who lose mates through severing seldom bond again. The scar usually prevents it. The damage runs too deep. I had accepted that. Had believed my chance at a bond like that was gone for good.

Melody said. “Yes ma'am.” “Bye, sugar. Kiss baby Melody for me.” Cynthia laughed weakly. “You bet I will.” The call ended. Melody stayed sitting there for a long time, staring at her phone. Then she leaned back slowly and looked at the ceiling. Why was love so complicated? Why did it always come with hurt? Was it even possible to love someone without hurting at some point? Without bruising your heart? She thought about Cynthia, Jamie, about Brandon, herself and Logan.

“Karina, look at me.” I hesitated before finally meeting his gaze. “To me,” he said slowly, like he needed me to understand, “you will always be the perfect woman. No matter what scars you bear.” His fingers reached out, gently tracing the air between us like he wanted to touch me but knew better than to push. “Those aren’t signs of weakness, Karina. They’re battle scars. Proof that you fought, that you survived.” His lips curved slightly. “And you’re stronger because of them.”

“Tonight, you let yourself break. Tomorrow, we face your mother’s funeral together. The day after that… we’ll figure it out.” My hands found their way to his chest, feeling his heartbeat strong and steady under my palms. “What if I’m too broken?” “Impossible.” His lips brushed my temple, so gentle it made my heart ache. “You’re the strongest person I know.” The dam broke. All the grief, fear, and exhaustion of the past days crashed over me at once. I crumpled against him, and his arms wrapped around me, holding me together as I fell apart. “I keep seeing it,” I whispered against his chest. “The way James looked at you when he pulled that trigger. His own brother. How can someone hate that mu

love gave me a scar! A deep wound that wouldn't heal – I'm still reeling from that hurt! The betrayal that stings more than abandonment—it burns me from within. And the cruellest part?

My mind went back to what he did to me today and the marks on my body which I was able to cover the ones on my neck with a concealer after taking my bath today. I gritted my teeth remembering the amount of pain I felt between my legs earlier today "I curse the day... the day I fell in love with Ryan." I spat "If this were a few years back or even a week ago I would have gladly fought to be back in his arms. Ciara some wounds are hard to heal... some wounds are very hard to heal while some never heal at all." I told her with a cold voice. "Ryan has hurt me in many ways than one and I really don't care what happens to him... no, I don't care if he's on the verge of death and I'm the only one w
