Shatter Me Book Novels & Stories

PART 1: Shattered Pride **Demetri's POV** I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my jaw clenched so tightly. Paulit-ulit na naglalaro sa isip ko ang eksaktong sandali nang humampas ang palad ni Snow sa pisngi ko. The sting had long faded, but the humiliation still burned, searing deeper than any physical pain ever could.

Hindi na niya napigilang tumulo ang mga luha niya kaya ang ginawa niya ay isa-isa niyang dineactivate ang lahat ng accounts niya sa social media. "Sa Chapter 2 na susulpot yung antagonist dito 'di ba?" Samantalang sa kabilang kwarto naman ay kasalukuyang kausap ngayon ni Eros si Shawna. Ngayon ay inuumpisahan na nila ang Chapter 2 ng kanilang romance novel na ang title ay fourteen.

“I never thought that the man I promised to love for the rest of my life would become the man I would spend the rest of my life hating.” For three years, Yvaine Rivera has been engaged to the mysterious billionaire Jayce Draven Blackwell—a man she has never met, never touched. She tried to meet her fiancé, but Draven found a way to avoid her. Until the truth came out. Their engagement was a business deal. Pumayag si Draven na maging fiancé ni Yvaine upang makuha ang pinakamalaking share sa kumpanya ng pamilya Rivera. At nang makuha niya ang gusto niya, kinuha niya ang buong kumpanya at iniwan ang pamilya ni Yvaine na wasak at walang-wala. Then he broke their engagement.

At nang buksan nila ang thread, lahat ay kinilabutan. Ang kwento ay parang isang madilim na teleserye. Isang mayamang heiress mula sa isang bagsak na pamilya ang pwersahang pinakasalan ng isang malamig at makapangyarihang CEO. Itinago ang kasal nila sa publiko. Ginawa umanong laruan ang asawa, binaboy sa opisina, sa loob ng sasakyan at pilit na dinurog ang dignidad nito araw-araw. Hanggang sa hindi na kinaya ng babae ang pang-aabuso, na humantong sa pagtalon nito sa bangin at pagkalunod sa dagat.

My control was slipping, and I hated it, hated him for making me feel so exposed, so helpless. Then he slammed into me again, harder this time, each thrust driving me over the edge. Once… twice… and I shattered around him, my walls quivering as heat and pleasure tore through me, my body trembling, moaning, completely undone under him. I closed my eyes as a burst of light shattered behind my eyelids, every nerve on fire. It had been too long. He didn’t slow, his movements frantic, desperate, chasing his own release while keeping me pinned beneath him.

She walked to her bedroom, sat on the edge of her bed, and stared at the floor. She couldn’t let herself falter. Not now. Not when everything was on the line. This is revenge, not love. Paulit-ulit niyang bulalas sa isipan. Pero kahit ilang ulit niya itong sabihin sa sarili, hindi pa rin maikakailang may kakaiba sa pagitan nila. Something that made this deal and revenge more dangerous than she had ever expected. She closed her eyes for a minute and whispered to herself, “don’t let him be your weakness."

Nag-init ang pisngi ko nang maalala yung paghalik ko sa kaniya noon. Why would I even remember that?! Dahan-dahan at maingat akong umalis sa ibabaw niya ngunit tila ginawa niya akong unan at muntik pa ako mauntog ngunit hinawakan niya ang ulo ko at niyakap na parang unan niya. Kumabog ang dibdib ko at tsaka lumunok. “Four-eyed, I’ll kill you if you—“ My eyes widened when he shoved his face on mine and accidentally made our nose and lips meet even if it’s just a sec!

It feels as if her bubble filled with happiness, fulfillment and contentment had been replaced with remorse and regret. Napaluha si Zarah ng muli nyang hawakan ang kanyang kaliwang dibdib. A gauze protected the stitch from infection, it was still bloody and it still ached. But nothing pained her more than being betrayed by the man that she loves, the man who promised her his love. What she thought was a promise of forever... was now something far fetched from the truth. In the end... She is back to square one. Broken-hearted and alone.

“HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT THIS IS A SMALL PROBLEM? MY SISTER'S AND YOUR BROTHER'S DEATH, OUR NEPHEW'S LOST MEMORIES IS A SMALL THING? A SMALL PROBLEM?! WOW! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT BUT IT'S NOT SURPRISING. THE MIGHTY AND PERFECT MR. AVELLINO IS AN ASSHOLE. YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO INSULT ME, QUESTION MY NORMS? MY VALUES AND MY WAY OF LIVING THEN YOU'RE LIKE THIS? THAT'S... DISAPPOINTING.” Napapikit si Letitia at napaupo, nararamdaman niya na nanghihina ang kaniyang mga tuhod dahil siguro sa biglaan niyang pagsigaw. “GUSTO KO LANG MAGING MASAYA! I CAN'T HAVE THE CHILDHOOD I WANT! THE TEENAGE LIFE I WANT! I CAN'T HAVE THE LIFE I WANT! ITO NA LANG, ITO NA LANG ANG PAMBAWI KO. I WANT TO LIVE MY MARRIED LI

I asked, as my voice cracks. "Because they don't deserve you. People tend to break other people, however we wish to just break, didn't we?" He cut himself off. "Because sometimes, we don't only break, we shatter. But shatter pieces can still glisten too. They can still glow with the light, and I'm willing to be your light, Eizz. I'm willing to be your light so you can glow and glisten until you heal," he said, emotionally and he smile at me. The sweetest smile I could ever wish for.
