Novel & Cerita Countdown To Heartbreak

To make up for it, he turned back and repeated a promise. "I'll definitely go to the old house to see you tomorrow." The next day, he broke his promise anyway. I sat on the couch in the old house, looking at my phone. Twelve hours left. A local news alert popped up. Kayla had appeared at a new project launch, with Lawrence standing behind her. Thinking about the promise he had made yesterday, I let out a self-deprecating smile. If he knew these were the last 12 hours with me, would he still break his promise?

He doesn’t even know me and that’s what’s making this feeling easier, knowing he doesn’t know me, at least I’m safe that way. Okay, enough of ShawnLama, lets talk about the real things, the actual happenings in my life. Jeremy and I, have been conversing on WhatsApp and Messenger, with me being an un ashamed ex and him feeling like a Greek god… I am going to take this as slow as possible and even if it takes me 3years to execute the most brutal heartbreak of all times. He would never see it coming and that’s exactly how I want it, just like I never saw his denial coming…

Only because our son begged to go to the amusement park, my wife, Nyla Frost, a wealthy heiress, ended up in a car accident on the way there, leaving her permanently paralyzed from the waist down. To punish us, she slashed our daily allowance to a mere ten cents. For the past three years, my son and I had no choice but to survive by scavenging through trash every day, even fighting the dogs for scraps. One day, my son was so hungry that he lost all reason. He ate a few crumbs of a cookie that our family doctor had accidentally dropped on the floor. My wife flew into a rage, accusing him of having filthy, thieving hands. As punishment, she made him stand outside in the pouring rain for th

’ I actually understood better the meaning of ‘tick tick says the time,’ as the time went from 5 seconds to 4…3…2…1 and then it clicked down to zero seconds and that means the time is up, so there we go. Good! My heart screamed in delight because this was the exact moment I waited for all the while and I have already changed my mind to trying to want a peaceful divorce. He wants something disastrous and I will give him that squarely. And just like that, my heart whispered, ‘Now, it’s time.’ I shoved him real hard that it caught him off guard. His eyes widened for the briefest moment before my hand moved on instinct. The slap came down with all the weight of three years’ worth of swallowed pa

Tears soaked my pillow as I hugged it tightly, sobbing uncontrollably. Why? Why had my life turned into this? Why did the man I love keep leaving me? Why didn’t I even have a shoulder to lean on? Exhaustion finally pulled me into a restless sleep. … The next morning, I woke up with a pounding headache. I couldn’t remember how I’d gotten home the night before. My eyes landed on a neatly folded note on the nightstand: "Eat something before work. I rescheduled the meeting for today’s case." The handwriting was precise and elegant, and the memories of last night came rushing back.

But as he steps back, his voice drops to a whisper. “I love you.” Then the mattress rises as he leaves, the soft click of the door the only sound in the quiet room. I sit there, gripping onto myself, forcing my breathing to slow. Only when I’m sure he’s gone do I finally let go. My entire body trembles as the dam inside me breaks. Heaving sobs rip through me, curling me into myself, choking me. I don’t know how long I stay like this—minutes, hours—until a gentle knock at the door pulls me from my anguish.

Now this? I felt my body paralyze as I slowly gave up the ghost. But just before I closed my eyes I managed to get a blur glimpse of him. “Are you okay?’’ He rushed towards me trying to feel my pulse. I said nothing but admired his features, this man was too goddam handsome. “I'm really sorry for tripping you over ..I'm Nathan…” That was the last thing I heard before everything went blank.

"Why? We were fine just yesterday! We were together last night. We even promised to get married as soon as we got back." As he spoke, Shaun reached out and held her shoulders. "I need a reason. Tell me why you're ending things. Did something happen? You can tell me…" Halsey cut him off. "Yes! Something did happen!" "What?" "We couldn't find the Snowpeak Bloom. That means your face can't be fixed." Shaun froze. The air between them went dead silent. After a long pause, he finally asked, "That's why you're breaking up with me?"

"Ten... nine... eight... seven..." I thought about Blake one more time. "Six... five... four..." I thought about my baby. "Three... two..." I thought about surviving. "One..." Everything went black.

When the petals fell, my Heartbreak Level soared to almost 90. I moved out early the next morning. Freddie stood by the window, watching my slender figure fade into the distance. His heart twisted in agony. The last 10% of the Heartbreak Level naturally came from the words he had spoken the day before his wedding. The moment I closed my eyes, my Heartbreak Level finally hit 100%. The system said he should go and say goodbye. But knowing the memories would remain, Freddie chose not to. Instead, he said silently in his heart, "Goodbye, Rosalie."
