Thea's voice trembled as she grasped Ryder's hand. "Ry...Ryder, please listen." she begged, her eyes pleading for his attention.

Ryder jerked his hand free from Thea's grasp, his expression hardening into ice. "I don't want to hear anything from you.You're no one to me from now on."

"You are going to believe her?"her eyes welled up with tears.

"I don't want to believe you.." Ryder spat, his eyes flashing with anger. "From now on, don't dare show your face to me." With those cutting words, he turned and walked away,leaving Thea shattered, her body racked with sobs as she collapsed to the ground.

Years passed Thea returned to the city working as a waitress to support her life.

But fate delivered a cruel blow when Ryder and his fiancee walked into the restaurant.

"Didn't I say you better stay away from us?How dare you appear in front of us?" 

Thea's voice trembled as she spoke, her heart heavy with emotion.
 "Ry...Mr. Thompson," she corrected herself, her eyes locking onto his, "I never thought our paths would cross again, especially not here."

"I made it clear previously that I never wanted to see you again.." he said, each word cutting through Thea like a knife, reopening old wounds and slicing through her fragile heart.

Thea's eyes welled up with tears as she gazed into Ryder's, "I didn't mean to hurt you, Ryder..." she implored, her gaze clinging to his, desperate for him to see the sincerity in her eyes and believe her words.

He scoffed,"Hurt?I hate you for what you did to her.How can you hurt my woman?"

Thea looked at his eyes to find the glimmer of the boy she once knew.But that boy was gone replaced by a man consumed by rage and hatred for her.

She knew she lost him forever.Tears pricked at the corner of her eyes.

Will Thea and Ryder ever find their way back to each other, or is their love lost forever, a casualty of misunderstandings and hurtful words? Will they be able to overcome the lies and betrayal that tore them apart, or will their hearts remain forever fractured?

Fractured Hearts

"Do you want to come with us for the ride? " Charlotte inquired of Saul.

"Alright..." Charlotte responded with a grin, as she and Thea strolled hand in hand toward the Roller Coaster.

Charlotte positioned herself in the front row seat. As the safety bar secured itself, she leaned in towards Thea and murmured, "Saul is certainly fortunate to have married his crush. "

Thea faced her, intrigued. Charlotte persisted, her voice scarcely distinguishable over the roar of the ride, "You know, Saul is the same age as Ryan. . . and I must confess, I've always fantasized about marrying my own crush one day. "

As the ride began to move, Thea inquired, "Isn't Mr. Saul ..uncle's assistant? "

Charlotte affirmed with a nod, "Yes, he's one of the most hardworking ones. His father previously worked for my grandfather, and then subsequently for my father. When his father retired, Saul stepped into his role."
