Broken Hearts
"Hell Gabby I'm such a douche."
"I know."
"I'm sorry."
What defenses did she think of again? Were they even up in the first place? The dull pounding in her heart had better be the early stages of a heart attack. She moved then. Not to him, but away from the door. Seeing him in the flesh like something molded from her deepest desires and darkest fantasies, wearing a tapered black suit that practically worshipped his tall frame, an unbuttoned shirt that brought awareness to his hard chest and broad shoulders making her wonder how many buttons she had to open to see him in all his glory, she'd seen enough of him to compel her to not think. She was a healthy woman after all.
Gabrielle Lot or Gabby as she loved to be called was one of the leading names in the Fashion industry, but she didn't do it in just one day she had to work and fight for it.
Even if it meant disappointing her parent.
Everything was going on well for her, with the success of her business waxing stronger and her name getting acknowledgment from different spheres of the fashion and business world. It changed when she met the one who broke her heart, Tan.
Would she risk her heart being broken again or would she forget about the business proposition brought to her by Tan.

Chapter: FinalGabby stared at the numbers on the elevator as they contend, tapping her foot impatiently. It took forever until the elevator finally gave a ting and let her out. She felt so anxious and needed to keep her mind off anything that concerned the Lees; including Tan. She got a call from Laila earlier about the Lees contract though so she didn't have much of a choice but to think about it. It wouldn't come as a surprise though, if they wanted to call off the deal after what happened. She expected it and if she was being honest, she couldn't care less. It was a great deal and she would gain a lot by it but LEE wasn't the only company there was. She would take her business elsewhere. Even as she tries not to think of him, she hoped she wouldn't have to meet him today. It's been days and she had no idea how she would react. No she wasn't prepared at all. But who's to say? It wasn't like Tan needed to to be here by himself. She'd gone days without seeing him, hearing his voice, breathing in h

Chapter: Chapter Nineteen Tan stared down into the glass of whiskey he had in his hand. No matter how deep or how long he stared into the brown liquid, he couldn't get the image of Gabby's face, the last time he saw her, out of his mind. He really messed this one up big time. The memory of Gabby flipping free his hand was engraved in his mind. At what point would the alcohol stop the memories from intruding his thoughts, he often wondered and even after downing shot after shot. Even if he ever survived this phase of his life where he felt like his heart was ripped out of his cage whenever he was sober, his liver might have a hard time catching up.He hurt her. He failed to protect her from his world. He made excuses instead of fixing his problems and in the end, she let go of his hand. He didn't blame her one bit. If he were her, he'd shut him out of his life too. Tan didn't think he would ever be able to get the look of hurt he saw on her face out of his mind. God, she hated him and she had every right to too

Chapter: Chapter Eighteen Gabby was trying to make some toast for breakfast when she heard the doorbell ring. It was Sunday morning and she was hoping to sit in and rest. It didn't matter that she'd been doing that all weekend, what mattered was that she wasn't expecting anyone this morning. She was supposed to meet up with Laila later in the afternoon and it was too early for her to be here. Besides, she expected that they'll meet each other in a café for some coffee. It could be Tan too. She hadn't seen him since the dinner on Friday where she felt like they were saying goodbye to their relationship. For someone to disturb her blissful moment, it had to be very important she hoped. She dropped the bottle of jam she had in her hand and went to get the door. Maybe Tan finally came to have that important discussion he kept running away from. She could admit that the possibility of it being him caused a warm feeling to swirl in her chest that both excited and scared her. She knew she had fallen in love with Tan

Chapter: Chapter Seventeen Going to his parents' millions of dollars 10 bedrooms and 11 bath extravagant house on a Saturday night was many items below the list of what Tan has hoped to do with his evening. He didn't know what he might have done in his past life but someone up there seemed to be having a good laugh in his regard. Even as he really could be anywhere else, he was here, parked in front of their house, dreading what he will meet if he were to go in. He would go inside eventually. For Gabby, he reminded himself as he reached for the flowers he threw carelessly at the back of the chair. White roses. Gabby loved those. It wanted to turn his car around and take them to her. He wouldn't do that though, instead he would pick them up and go in through the front door and be polite. He'd do that to protect her.When his mother called him earlier in the day, he'd known within him that she was calling to warn him. "I assume your father mentioned the dinner with the Parks to you?" more like threatened but who

Chapter: Chapter Sixteen Chapter 16.Gabby and Tan were going out to dinner tonight.Tan stood at the entrance to her apartment looking dapper as always. He needs this night to forget all the drama with his family.“We should go.” She needlessly announced running her palms to smoothen the invisible crease on her dress. She didn’t know why she suddenly felt nervous around him. She’d known him almost all her adult life. She raised her gaze to meet Tan’s. He looked as handsome as ever. There was however a hint of trouble in his eyes. Maybe that’s why she felt so nervous or maybe she was reading into things that were not there. She let her eyes dip down to his chest accentuated by a pale blue shirt. The two buttons on the top were undone and sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. “You look gorgeous.” He said his voiced rough and husky. His eyes met hers and held the hot gaze she imagined hers held as well. She watched him as his eyes travelled over her, taking her in. her choice of outfit was a black satin dress

Chapter: Chapter FifteenTan was in his office the next morning. His had his chair turned to face the huge floor to ceiling windows in his office while basking in the warm sunlight enjoying the what-should-not-be-considered-soothing-but-is noise from the city. He had a lot of thing to do but he couldn’t help but indulge in musing over the night he had with Gabby. Waking up with her in his arms, he felt like he had just discovered a new kind of heaven. The way their bodies molded against each other creating the illusion that what they were feeling for each other was set in stone. Their relationship wasn’t defined yet, he wasn’t even sure if he could call it one, but Tan knew there was something that they shared and he wanted to enjoy this experience with her as long as he could have it because knowing his luck in life, their current situation might just end when he least expects it and shock them both. It wasn’t that he was trying to jinx himself; lord knows he already has enough share of bad luck, but it was

Chapter: Chapter NineteenFinal Chapter The Dark Mage didn't even look like he broke a sweat and I was already breathing hard. I searched my brain for any tricks Theodore had taught me and I didn't use. Nothing was coming into my mind. "You've had your fun little one" the Mage said with a sheer "Now it's time I had mine." The mage raised two arms, gathering dark evil power. I looked into his face which had contorted, leaving a pale evil mask. The whites of his eyes were completely black now. He looked like a demon. Everything moved in slow motion when he released the dark power and pushed to me. I put up a shield in record time but the black wave was beginning to eat up, the flimsy shield I put up to protect myself. He focused his attention hitting and hitting. I don't know if I could hold on much longer. The shield shattered like glass around me, his dark power reached for me with cold hands and I was helpless to stop him. The defenses I had set up in my mind were already Shattered I could feel him prying

Chapter: Chapter Eighteen CHAPTER 18I looked to the wizard sitting in front of me, his look of terror mirrored the one I was feeling inside, even though we didn't say it, even though we technically had no proof, I knew we were thinking the exact same thing."He is here" he said gravely like he was delivering a death sentence. It might as well be one. My plan to learn how to use all the power at my disposal to kick its creepy stalking, family napping ass just flew out the window poof. I called it; the universe truly did have something against me. All what has happened to me for the past few month just go ahead to prove that some god up there was having a laugh at my expense. There is a keep full of magic folk all looking up to a fellow white flasher to beat him up again and here I am, not being able to lift a freaking feather. I knew the ranting I was having inside my head was only stalling the inevitable. Even now I could hear screams of people as they ran to safety. I got up quietly from the mat. Sir Robin

Chapter: Chapter Seventeen CHAPTER 17 I couldn't help the slight shiver that raked through my body and I smiled sweetly at him. "I wondered where you ran off to" I said punching him playfully on his arm "I had work to do here at the keep" "Work?" I asked my face scrunching up in confusion "Teddy is a watcher, a sort of warrior at the keep. He is always so secretive, it's not like it is something that should be kept secret" Selena said rolling her eyes. "I wasn't keeping it a secret" he said defensively. "Yeah right." Selena replied folding her arms across her chest. "How come your girlfriend doesn't know what you do?""It just", I watched with amusement as Theodore scratched his hair nervously. "It never came up""Whatever guys" I said interrupting Selena when she looked like she was about to throw a come back "What's a watcher anyway?" I asked. I actually wanted to know. Theodore and I have been dating for weeks and I still feel like there were a lot of things I didn't know about him. I couldn't help f

Chapter: Chapter SixteenChapter SixteenThe keep was not at all what I expected. Lanterns were floating in the air and so were people. A small train conveyed people and other stuff across. It was definitely large enough to be an actual city. It looked impossible to be kept secret but the magic made it possible. It was like I got lost in a crowd and began to go sightseeing. Somehow I knew I would never be lost in such a place. Everywhere seemed to lead back to the entrance. The archways and passages where clearly cut through stone. I was sure that it was the work of magic. There was no way that a normal human being could do something so beautiful out of hard stone.The witches in the keep were moving about their business and I felt out of place for some reason. There wasn't anything distinct about me and no one even paid me much attention but I still felt out of place. I passed a store selling potions and peculiar things, another selling robes, I don't know what for. None of the witches I have seen made use o

Chapter: Chapter Fifteen Chapter Fifteen I stayed still on the bed using my eyes to scan my surroundings for any potential danger. The events of the last months have left me a paranormal mess. It wasn't that I didn't trust Janice or Bryce to keep me safe, it was that I expected everyone in the world to attack me. I guess loosing members of your family can do that to you. Losing my brother and my mother have definitely made me into a different person. I didn't know if I could ever get my life back to how it was. I eventually summoned the courage to get out of bed when I deemed the room free of threat. I walked into the en suite. There was a new toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste lying there waiting. Good thing because in all my rush last night, I seem to have forgotten to bring mine along. I brushed my teeth and took a shower even though it was freezing and I could do without one I needed to cool my head, afraid that it might explode I still wore the same clothes I had on yesterday. Signature cargo pants an

Chapter: Chapter Fourteen Chapter 14 I have to wait until twenty-four hours and if I didn’t hear from either of them, I could make an official complaint. There was no reason why my mother and brother would be abducted. We have not received any threats. She must have gone out in a rush and forgot to take her phone, or leave a note, or shut the doors. That’s what the police officers said in their halfhearted attempt to a supposedly ‘naive’ seventeen year old girl calm. While they were talking, they didn’t believe themselves, I didn’t believe them, they knew I didn’t believe them either it was sad watching them really. They looked so uncomfortable. From the condition my house was in, it was clear that foul play was involved. When they asked me if I had any family to stay with as I was a ‘minor’, I told them my boyfriend’s family were close friends with purse. I didn’t have any other family and I wasn’t sure if they weren’t going to throw me to the system at the slightest opportunity. They might not, since I
