Heartbreak To Hope Novels & Stories

Love doesn’t hurt the most, hope does. It was the slight glimpse of hope that “if he could fall for me once, then he would again” that dragged me on the path of thorns through all these years. Every time it hurt, every time I wanted to quit, every time I looked up divorce lawyers, it was hope that kept me on. What a deadly trap hope can be. It stopped hurting when I stopped hoping. I no longer want anything from him, and now he can’t hurt me. “Scar? What are you doing here? You should be resting,” Adrian is surprised to find me right out of the doctor’s office, “I was -- are you okay? You look like you have seen a ghost.”

I lowered my gaze slightly and said calmly, "Evan, I'm grateful you saved me. I'll always remember what you did." A flicker of light sparked in his eyes, as if a long-suppressed hope had finally found release. His voice trembled slightly, hopeful yet pleading. "Does that mean you forgive me? I know I've made many mistakes, but if you could just give me another chance, maybe we can start again." I looked at him quietly.

"Lucas, you're still as blunt as ever. You never leave any room for hope, do you?" I'd always preferred honesty in matters of the heart. I either had feelings, or I didn't. There was no middle ground. Sophia hesitated, seeming as though she wanted to say more, but ultimately only whispered, "I'm finally letting you go. Take care, Lucas." When I heard that, I breathed a sigh of relief. I wished her a speedy recovery and quietly left the room. As we exited the hospital, I planned on settling her medical bills since she'd been injured protecting me. It seemed like the proper thing to do.

Maya let out a bitter laugh, tears welling up in her eyes—yet not a single drop dared to fall. That familiar pride, that unyielding dignity, wouldn't let her break. "Maya," she muttered to herself, a tight whisper lost in the night, "what are you still hoping for? He never had you in his heart." Just then, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Diana. "Maya, now you finally see it, don't you? Oscar's heart was never with you. If I wanted, he'd toss you aside in a second."

"You've got quite the imagination. Aren't you just making up some poor excuse to fool me now that you're regretting it? You simply didn't think I'd actually go through with it." Hearing that, I had no desire to argue. I hung up and posted a photo of myself on my social media. It wasn't to gain sympathy. I just couldn't let Kayla be treated so unfairly because of me.
