novel X you

He thought he could love her, break her, and walk away unscathed.

She had given him everything, her time, her heart, her unwavering devotion. She saw the good in him when others saw the warning signs. But what did he do?

He turned her love into a game, a fleeting amusement. He played with her heart, betrayed her trust, and left her drowning in the wreckage of their love.

But a woman scorned does not remain broken for long.

She spent nights crying until she had no more tears left. Days wondering why she wasn't enough, where she went wrong. Then came the rage, the cold realization that she had given her soul to a man who never deserved it.

And in that moment, she knew, she wouldn't let him get away with it.

He had always been an open book to her. She knew his strengths, but more importantly, she knew his weaknesses. She had memorized the way he thought, the things he feared, the cracks in his perfect facade.

So she turned the game around.

She didn't scream, didn't fight, didn't expose him." No", she was patient. She let him believe he had won, that she was just another broken girl in his past. And when he least expected it, she struck.

She took back her power, made him feel the weight of the destruction he caused. Whether through subtle manipulation, the slow unraveling of his carefully built world, or the simple act of making him realize he lost the best thing he ever had and she made sure he never forgot her.

And when she finally walked away, it wasn't as the woman he broke. It was as the woman who had learned how to break him instead.

Because love and hate are two sides of the same coin, and this time… he was the one left ruined.
