Heart Bones Colleen Hoover Novels & Stories

As she spoke, she forcibly grabbed my hand and placed it into Luna's. A shudder ran through my body. Nausea rose in my throat. "Let go of me. Get out!" A doctor rushed into the room, pulled Luna away, and stepped in front of me. "Are you all right?" I shook my head. Claire Bennett was a world-renowned cardiac surgeon I had hired at great expense. She was also my partner in developing artificial hearts. Luna panicked. Like a dying stray dog clinging to its last breath, she struggled across the floor toward me.

We suddenly heard a faint heartbeat echoing from deep within the ground. The elders looked at me with widened eyes. "What's that? I have never seen a thing like this before. It's getting scary. How can we suddenly hear a heartbeat in this hall like something buried long ago has awakened." Elder Isolde finally spoke since the incident began to happen. Elowen has gone totally silent, unlike her. Does she know what's happening, or is she just as shocked as the rest of us? I guess she is. The large circular stone slab engraved with ancient runes, that was embedded in the center of the hall, glowed with an ocean-blue light before turning gold. No! Something needs to be done.

No big declarations or dramatic confessions. Just the soothing sounds of the house and the gentle rhythm of two hearts learning to be soft again. ---

Empty. Then the bottom drawer. Clothes. Then she paused. Pressed the back panel lightly. It didn’t move. But it felt hollow behind it. Her heartbeat picked up slightly. She didn’t say anything yet. Just stood still. Listening. Behind her, Malik appeared in the doorway. “I told you,” he said quietly, “once you start looking—” “I already started,” she interrupted. Then she pressed harder. A soft click. Not loud. But definite. Malik went still.

Selina said in a deep whisper as she stood up from the chair by the bed where her uncle was sleeping when she saw Lucian walk in and stand before her with his worried eyes fixed on his uncle. Lucian shifted his gaze to Selina. He could see the anger in her eyes. "How is he? Albert told me he was sick," he said in a low voice. "The doctor said he had a problem with his heart. He's been grieving since Lester's death," she replied in sad. Anger filled her eyes again. "You haven't answered my question? Where have you been these days?!"

He faced the crowd with a calm, dark composure and announced, "I will be appearing on the upcoming season of The Heartbeat Chronicles alongside Miss Tiffany Vance" A glass shattered somewhere on the floor as a wave of shock rippled through the guests. The Heartbeat Chronicles was Holloway City's most exclusive reality show—a "dating sim" program designed to build chemistry and public "shipping" for the elite. Silas had just announced he was going on a romance show with his wife’s sister, and he hadn't spared Chloe a single glance.

"Our relationship was not that easy as well. Heartly has a Chronic Heart Disease that could attack anytime. Her life is always at risk and she needed assistance every time and wherever she is in case she would have a heart attack. I witnessed how she suffered in several heart attacks before and I almost lost her for how many times, that's why I am working hard to pursue my study as a medical student and to work hard for her." I stared at him as she stared at Heartly who was still laughing with Zhanaia and Caroline at their table. I heard Caroline mention my name so I looked at them as well with my brows creased. Zhanaia glanced at us and smiled when she saw us looking at them. I just sighed

She did not react immediately. Her posture remained straight. Her face remained cold. But inside her, thunder roared violently. The DNA results had already told her the truth. Logically, she had prepared herself. Yet hearing the confession directly from Liam’s lips felt entirely different. It was like a thin needle slowly piercing through her heart, painfully gentle yet impossible to resist. Her chest tightened painfully, but her calm expression remained flawless. Chatrine had always believed weakness should never be shown to an opponent. Not even to the person she loved.

Hillary croaked. “So why come back now?” Tony spoke for the first time beside me. I narrowed my eyes at her. “And why didn’t you just tell me the truth when I overheard that conversation between you and Robert? You told him I was still just a walking cash machine to you.” She swallowed hard. “I...I..uh...I did it to appease him. Even though I said I would pay him, he had gotten more possessive because the time he gave for repayment had already passed. But you heard us talking and I knew I'd lost you.”
