27 years old Alice Watson lived by TWO rules:
#1: Money overshadows feelings and #2: No matter what, DO NOT get attached. She made a pact with herself that she would not fall under the spell of any man, no matter how perfect he appeared to be. She did not trust men and no matter how corny it sounded, she believed that all men were the same. Pretty little liars.
From Alice was a small child, her mother Agnes always told her "trophies are momentums put on shelves to catch dust. Once the moment is over, they are meaningless. Do not be any man's "trophy".
These words chimed in Alice's mind daily. She vowed to herself that she would never be any man's "trophy".
Alice learned her away around men and soon became the "queen of heart breaks". For her, men went from "pretty little liars" to "pathetic suckers with lots of money." You see, Alice didn't long for a lifetime of happiness because she believed that nothing good lasts forever. So instead, she lived in the moment and took advantage of every opportunity she got to break a mans heart and his pockets too.
But this all changed when she met the blue eyed, six feet tall, slender built Lawyer hottie Jace Gauntley ..

Broken Hearts by Phiya
"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.Complete

Every Little Thing
Caleb Jacobson has spent years building walls to protect himself-from heartbreak, from abandonment, from the girl who walked away without looking back. When Lily Summers returns senior year, all laughter and light, she brings every buried feeling crashing back to the surface. She says she wants to make things right. Caleb can't decide if he wants to let her try. What follows is a slow unraveling-of anger, of longing, of years of unspoken words-as the two navigate friendship, forgiveness, and the impossible pull between them. But healing isn't easy, and love isn't simple-not when trust is fragile, and the past refuses to stay buried. Some stories don't get second chances. But some hearts never stop hoping. Disclaimer I dont own any pictures used, but the story is 100% mine!

I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it slips out.

"I won't break your heart." I turn around and say lightly, jokingly, just to tease him. His smile fades. "You won't...because you can't break what's already broken." He says more seriously. ******* Once bitten, twice shy Such is the case for Aaron Bishop, who after a failed marriage, decides that love and all things related, is not worth the trouble.
