Not My Mama's Broken Heart Novels & Stories

The pain of losing something that had never been mine. A soft knock. My mom peeked in, concern softening her face. “You okay, baby?” I nodded. “No, you’re not. You locked yourself in here all night.” My throat tightened. “I had my first heartbreak.” Her expression melted into sorrow. “Oh, honey…” She crossed the room and hugged me. Her arms were everything Kael’s weren’t; safe, steady, kind. And yet, it wasn’t enough to stop the hollow inside me. “Draven’s son?” she asked quietly.

And I was not going to do that as 'Emma'. All my name, all my past had to be buried. Tonight, I wasn't the girl he once humiliated, the one he and his Crimson Brotherhood tortured in college. Tonight, I was Nora, woman with her own mystery, and I would make sure that's the only version of me he saw.

I lay in the hospital as the healer repeatedly questioned me. In the end, I decided to keep the pup in my belly. I couldn't bring myself to be a cruel mother even though I'd been reborned. I simply made up my mind to take my unborn pup and leave Adrian. Just then, I received a call from him. "Don't take Flora's Twitter posts to heart. I'm taking her to see the meteor shower, so I'll be home late tonight." Before I could say anything, he hung up, giving me no chance to object.

I did have some hopes that my mom would support me but she didn't. Her harsh words had completely shattered my hopes. All my hopes of one day being free from this marriage and Mason De Luan were all gone now. Maybe this was my life. Maybe I wasn't destined to be free and happy on my own terms. The only happiness I experienced was in my childhood with momma and Papa. My misfortunes began after Christian broke my heart and now I was stuck with a monster and a cynical man.

Kenan said. "Why? You never liked me because my parents are old-fashioned. Are they dead or do you want me to be dead too?" said Andien without emotion. "I wouldn't get married if I didn't like you." "Really? I don't think so. You broke my trust that night, Kenan," Andien said firmly. Kenan closed his eyes. He had made a mistake, but was it wrong to be nice to his parents? Vishnu had taken everything that belonged to his parents and even kicked him out of his home.

"For what? I'm happy now. Evan is a friend." She shook her head at me, "Not about that honey... If only a few days relationship could do that to you. If only by listening to my story you were devasted. I'm afraid what would happen if you fall in love. And that person breaks your heart. I'm afraid you won't be able to take it." "First of all, that won't happen. And second of all, mom I'm strong enough to take anything that life throws at me. Whether it be a heartbreak."

“I promised you and Jesse I’d get better. I intend to keep that promise.” We sat in silence for a while, the good kind this time. Then she asked, lightly, “How’s your friend?” Cade’s face flashed in my mind, his words, his betrayal. “He’s fine,” I answered, leaving it at that. But then the question slipped out of me, unplanned. “Mom, did you ever have your heart broken?” She went quiet, her gaze going distant. Then a bitter little laugh escaped. “Yes. And that heartbreak is what ruined me.”

"I'm sorry. I know that what I did was wrong. Can't we go back to how we used to be back then?" I looked at her and lightly shook my head. "We can never go back, Queenie Blackrose," I replied. "From the moment you posted the first photo of you and him on your Instagram account and chose to lie to me, we could never, ever go back to the past again." Misty sighed and said, "Nessie, know that trust, once broken, can never be put back together again."

We sat down on a couch and I hopelessly cried into my hands. "Liv, what's wrong?" My mom asked me in confusion. "I'm not a good person, mom. All I do is hurt people." I sobbed out and my mom frowned at me. "You're not a horrible person, Liv." She softly argued. "You have to say that because you're my mom." "No, I don't. I say that because it's the truth, Liv." She pointedly stated. "No, it's not! I broke Cole's heart and then I used Storm to get over him." I said, wiping my tears dry. I looked into my mom's eyes before letting out a soft sigh.

It's terrifying despite the fact that I already feel dead inside. My heart has been shattering into a million tiny pieces of his betrayal. I could have healed from being hurt by his awful mother. She wasn't the person I loved most. The one I had fallen for with the whole of my heart and every drop of my blood was him. The broken pieces of my heart moan at the fact that he finds me repulsive. "I am so . . . sorry!" His mother cries, her face suddenly looking old and wrinkled. The fire and tears must have ruined all her makeup.
