Novel & Cerita Shattered Innocence Book

I kicked it so hard it collapsed sideways, books scattering like fallen leaves. The full-length mirror? I hurled a decorative crystal at it, watching with sick satisfaction as cracks spiderwebbed across the glass until it shattered completely. But none of the things he gave me ended up on the ground. None. As if a part of me was silently protecting them. I sank to the ground, where shards of glass decorated the floor like twisted flowers in a cursed garden. A few pierced my fingers, but I didn’t give a damn. Let it hurt. It wouldn’t kill me.

I stared at the file, a war between fury and fatigue rising in me. “She didn’t just steal my husband. She stole my peace.” Lucas nodded. “Then take it back.” That night, I sat on my balcony, stars scattered across the sky like secrets. Sophie Lane had disappeared. But not for long. This wasn’t about revenge anymore. It was about closure. About justice. About ensuring no one else got hurt the way I did. Because in the end, Shattered Vows wasn’t just the title of my story. It was a warning.

“I know things I’m not supposed to know about people. When I touch them, I know things. You do, too. You know what he did to me, the things he let his friends do to me. You want to make it all better, but even if you could take away the memories, you can never make me innocent and good again.” “You don’t believe that, Shaina. You’re smarter than that. They may have touched your body, but not your soul. They could have destroyed your body, but never your soul. You are already good and innocent. You have always been that. The things done to you cannot change your basic nature. They can shape you, make you stronger. You know that you’re strong, don’t you? You found a way to survive what would h

she murmured, her voice trembling with genuine sympathy. Tears streamed freely down my cheeks, mingling with the anguish that consumed me. "It was," I confessed, my voice heavy with the weight of my shattered innocence. "I was just a little girl, trapped in a world of brutality, with no power to change the course of events. I felt utterly helpless, lost in the darkness of my own powerlessness." Pausing to gather my shattered composure, I took a deep breath, steeling myself to reveal the next agonizing memory. The gripping fear returned, threatening to overwhelm me as I recalled the moment when a hand clamped over my mouth, silencing my desperate cries for help.

I say, before rereading the prophecy. When the flower of spring Eases the pain of night She will begin to heal He who is broken "Okay, that part makes sense. Although, similar to what GoldMoon told us, the word ‘broken’ isn’t exactly accurate. Dominic isn't broken, he was abused and scarred.” “It’s semantics, Princess, just like with the Blessing of the Ceryneian Hind, or as we now call it, The Gift of the Ceryneian Hind, Dominic is described as broken. Maybe the prophecy used that word because he can’t shift.”

Yet… even after all that security, I felt vulnerable and defeated as the memories of the people being slaughtered and sheer demonic violence rushed into my head as I leafed through the burnt pages of that book. The book was last rented by a girl preparing for the medical entrance exam to bring her family out of poverty and permanently shift to Arginieth to have a better life. Seems this was the last book she would ever rent. Not just her body, but her dreams and the future of her family buried under this debris with this book. I looked at the sky and took a deep breath. “What’s the point?” I mumbled to myself as I threw the book back into the mountain of debris, which had once been a temple

It would be hard to shake that smell. Once I had been fed, I was given a place to sleep in a small storage closet. Not exactly the most comfortable accommodations, but they were safe and private, at least. I took a long drink from my water bottle and opened a candy bar for a little celebration. And stopped. My hand lowered to my lap as I pressed my other hand to my head, the tears forcing their way out. I remembered poor Janice... another casualty of my youthful stupidity. That one, simple mistake had led to so much pain and loss. I'd only found one key... as much of a triumph as that was, I knew I had to move on soon. I had to fix this, had to prevent any more useless deaths, but it was har

Wasn’t shame. Wasn’t even confusion. It was hunger. Raw. Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Something in me tightened. Because that— That was far more dangerous than innocence. Something had shifted. A barrier… broken. Whatever fragile line we had been walking on— Was gone now. Irrelevant. My hands were still on her, holding her like I didn’t trust myself to let go. And her palms framed my face as if anchoring me there—like she wanted me there. Like she needed it.

After all i had already became the atrocious girl in the family so what was the point of still being a virtuous girl. "The shattering of a heart when being broken is the loudest quiet ever" by Carrol Bryant- resembled the situation of my splintered heart. My heart was shattered like a thousand pieces of broken mirror. And this was also the day from when I started thinking I was a cursed child with a cursed and tenebrous fate; this was the day my Ill fate started and I was doomed for life.

His body shook violently. I could feel his pulse racing through my grip. “Enough!” I shouted. “Fall back!” “No,” he breathed. “If I stop, it widens.” And he was right. The seam pulsed angrily at his resistance. He pushed again, harder. Something inside him shifted then — I felt it. The moment innocence fractured and was reshaped. Understanding flooded through his expression — of scale, of consequence, of isolation. He was carrying weight no child should comprehend. And yet, he did not falter.
