Countdown To Heartbreak Novels & Stories

"Seeing her in your office was like a sudden wake-up call for me. It was a reminder of how huge the distance is between your world and my world. You live surrounded by people who have endless wealth, people who play social games, people who treat relationships like business deals, and people who throw others away when they get bored or find something better." She looked down at her hands, tracing the lines on her palm with her thumb. "I have been thrown away before, Greg. I was lied to, cheated on, and left with nothing by someone I gave my entire heart to. I worked so hard for years to rebuild my life, my self-respect, and my peace of mind after I was broken. I cannot go through that pain a

However, it had gone cold. As I didn't have the strength to hold the cup steady, it hit the floor and shattered into pieces. Just then, my phone buzzed nonstop with messages from the work group chat. "Quick, check social media. Did Mr. Bender just announce he's dating Ms. Hubbard?" The word "dating" hit me like a knife to the heart. With trembling hands, I clicked into Lily's profile. She'd posted a photo of a gemstone necklace with the caption, "First month with my boyfriend and I'm already getting such an expensive present! I'm so happy!"

As it turned out, even emotions didn't bother showing anymore once someone had reached peak disappointment in someone else. Before light, I had made my decision. The mating ceremony must be called off. I turned on my laptop and began writing the notice for the ceremony cancellation. Every word I wrote felt like I was shattering all the trust that I had in Xavier for the past eight years. Before I was done drafting it out, however, my phone suddenly began to ring. It was Queenie. "Vanessa? Haven't you gone to sleep yet?" she asked, her voice light as though nothing had just happened. "It's your big day tomorrow. You shouldn't tire yourself out tonight."

"Sophia, listen carefully. I don't have any feelings left for you. Not love, not even hatred. I just want to have my own life." She stared at me in disbelief, tears forming. "How is that possible? You used to love me so much. How can you not love me anymore?" Suddenly, her gaze fell on the gift box I was holding, and her expression darkened instantly. "You found someone new, didn't you? "That's why you're rejecting me. You threw away my gift, but you accepted someone else's gift?" Although it was merely a corporate gift from the company, I decided to play along. "Yes, I did. Will you leave now?"

Before I could say anything, he hung up, giving me no chance to object. After that, Flora's messages kept coming non-stop all night long. "Today's the Moon Goddess Festival. So many couples have planned to watch the meteor shower together. It's a shame you have no one to keep you company. "Adrian doesn't love you at all. Otherwise, why would he choose me over you today and for the trip? "Even if he marks you, so what? I'll always be the most important person in his heart. He only wants you as his mate out of responsibility for the pup in your belly.

Her question brought heaviness to my chest, she was asking like he was past tense but it’s not the case, I still love him and it hurts that it took losing him to realise that. “I know how awkward it will be seeing the man you once banged, showing your boss some love but please be strong, don’t blow your cover. It needs to stay a secret amongst the four of us. Melody doesn’t need to know.” Roberta advised me while I shook my head within, she has no idea how great I am at pretending, it’s just that, a heartbreak is hard to hide, at least for me. We stood at the front door of Vandyke’s house and it took everything in me to prevent a tear from rolling down my cheeks. Iris opened the door and fla

"It's not your fault, my baby. It was never your fault. It was no one's fault. It was just fate. YOur sister and your father had to go a little early. Don't worry, baby. I will be there for you always. I am here for you. I will take care of everything now. Ok! Shh" Both mother and daughter cried in each other arms. Crystal knew there was no one for them; now, they both were alone. The company was going to get bankrupt soon. Suddenly she remembers her boyfriend. Landon. She couldn't continue her relationship with him now. She has to take care of her mother. She has to focus on her mother and handle the company. It's been weeks since she has last talked to him. She couldn't find time to even m

Sophia’s heart pounded as she stared at the phone’s dark screen, its message still echoing in her mind. *Tick tock.* The words felt like a countdown, a clock ticking away the last few moments of peace before everything would come crashing down around them. She tightened her grip on the phone, her knuckles white as the full weight of the situation settled over her. “We can’t keep ignoring this,” Oliver said quietly, breaking the silence. He was standing by the window, his gaze fixed on the dark city streets below. “Sebastian’s playing a game, and we’re always reacting. We need to figure out what his next move is.”

I blurted. He laughed bitterly. “Why is that, right? Do whatever it takes, Hernandez. She ran after you so many times, it's time for you to break a sweat too.” “You're buying," he pointed to the glasses and left. I stood there drinking and remembering the night everything started to go wrong. The night I broke Sofia's heart for the first time and all the other times I did it again and again over the years. Yeah, maybe I really needed to make things right.

Devastating. Three years and I still don't get to habituate to deal with this. This year is more worse since my heart has been broken because of a man,and surprisingly,he is the same man I want to hide in and cry out. But I wipe those thoughts and tears away. I still don't get it. Why can't I cry when it comes to Cayden's death. Maybe I still couldn't accept that very fact yet.
