What is the french word for heartbroken? 2

Diogo was really devastated at what Clara just said to him. He looked over at Kiara for comfort but found she was staring at him with an emotionless expression. "Diogo, it was never my intentions to break up your family. But you had to know the truth. I would have been fine raising Riley alone but my parents told me to let you know." Kiara said that and she stepped out of the bedroom.

Diogo watched her leave but after a few seconds he followed her out. "You have a lot of nerves Kiara. 'Had no intentions to break up your family' give me a break. You did this with the intentions of doing exactly that. You still want me don't you? Yes, that must be it." Diogo said crazily, "Well, you win. She left me. Now we can be together, right?"

Kiara took a step back, "Want you? Diogo you misunderstood. I just hope you will be part of our son's life. Whatever thoughts you have of us, Im sorry but that will not happen." Kiara said calmly. That statement nearly drove Diogo to insanity.

"How dare you bitch! After you ruin my life you say you don't want me?" Diogo pounced on Kiara grabbing both her shoulders. "Diogo you are scaring me." Kiara said terrified.

Diogo realised what he had done and he let go of her. "Diogo I am really sorry. I can't be with you." Kiara decided to say once again. Diogo has calmed down. "Okay, okay Kiara. Then I am taking the boy with me." Diogo said with a straight face.

Kiara frowned when she heard this. All her newly acquired motherly instinct screamed at her. "What do you mean?" Kiara asked. Diogo stepped back, "If I can't have you then I am taking the kid. Listen, when I go back to Portugal I won't have no one. He will be the only one who is my blood relative. That is why I want to take him."

Kiara thought about it but she had a bad feeling about it. She looked at Diogo in the eyes, "I can't make that decision on my own. Go with me to Liverpool and speak to my parents." Kiara offered. Diogo nodded and after that some time passed and they finally flew to England.

Kiara's parents heard Diogo's story and they felt bad for him. Diogo played on their feelings a bit, he made himself look vulnerable and they believed him, ignoring whatever that was that told them not to agree. They agreed to Diogo's request to take Riley and made him promise to take good care of him and Diogo agreed.

Diogo flew back to Portugal after staying a few weeks in England. Diogo got to Portugal and like he knew everything fell apart. He lost everything and had to move to a village in Lisbon. He started hating everything afterwards, he went as far as hate Riley. Chalking it up to everything being his fault. If only he wasn't born. As Riley started growing up so did his hate for him.

Kiara and her parents would send money to Diogo to maintain Riley. Diogo did the basic for him, like sending him to school and keeping him fed. He would pocket the rest of the money and would not give any to Riley. Kiara would send gifts and heartfelt messages to Riley but he never received them because Diogo never told him and he would pocket those gifts too.

Kiara found love and would soon get married. She sent plane tickets for Riley and Diogo to come over, she would have sent one but Riley had to travel with an adult. Diogo simply threw them away and when Kiara asked about it he said they never received them.

-Present-

"So that's it." Was all Riley could say after his mother finished her story.

Kiara nodded. She had told Riley the truth, of course she expects him to maybe ask Diogo to confirm but she herself knew that she had told him the unfiltered truth. Riley let go of Kiara's hands as he felt something break. All of a sudden he clenched his heart. 'So it's like that.' He thought.

No matter how you look at it, he is still a 14 year old boy. Yes circumstances had forced him to mature fast but the fact remains that he is still a 14 year old boy. Riley stopped clenching his heart as he moved his hands to touch his eyes. He touched something wet, 'Im crying?' He asked himself.

Kiara was devastated when she saw Riley's tears and she stood from her seat and went around the table. When she got close to him, she wrapped her arms around him, giving him a firm hug filled with love.

Riley feeling the warmth, couldn't hold back anymore and he just cried silently. People in the restaurant were staring at them but not knowing what was happening they just stopped paying attention. Someone took a picture of that moment and posted it online.

After some time, Riley was fine and Kiara too had calmed down. "So Im French?" Riley joked trying to lighten the mood. Kiara understanding what he was trying to do laughed a little.

The twins got back from playing and they were now ready to leave. They stood and headed for the exit. Riley had a cold look on his face. 'What was that earlier? Did my heart really break? Wow, that thing is real?' He thought as he got to the car. 'Heartbroken huh? I wonder what is the french word for heartbroken?' He chuckled to himself.
