Definition of Penitence - the action of feeling or showing sorrow and regret for having done wrong; repentance.



I guess I was stupid like Cinderella. She let people take advantage of her and so did I. Cinderella got her happy glass slipper ending and all I got was a broken glass slipper..... a broken relationship that I can't get out of.

Glass & Sorrows by NoelleWicked

Dante De Loughrey, the shadow of the devil himself... blessed with the face of an angel and a prince of darkness, born into the unforgivable world of crime and control. Is consumed by the merciless strive for vengeance of a past he couldn't control, and troubled by the one mistake that formed his reality, leaving Dantes heart barley any room for much else. But when a leakage happens in business, causing a path towards war to form, he crosses paths with her... A girl too tempting to keep his hands off, with a vaguely familiar last name and the soul of innocence... Something melts. An unfamiliar heat forming in his chest. As a man who is driven to saddle whatever stands unreachable and uncontrollable in his path, he is determined to take her. A girl he should most definitely NOT want. The forbidden fruit. She must be his. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wendy Aberidge, the picture of innocence, yet a soul burdened by the complications of poverty's weight, keeps her heart locked in a cage.

But when her generous heart gets the better of her, she finds herself driven into the arms of the most gorgeous, yet dangerous, man she'd ever met. A man she should NOT want. Getting involved in a world of crime and lethal danger. Their love is a path paved by betrayal and desire... In a world where every choice has consequences, where every heartbeat could be their last. Will their love be their salvation or their downfall? This is a story about love, grief... and the real definition of betrayal. Glass & Sorrows is the #1 book in the Gems of Sentiment series.

Her Breaking Point by AuthorOliviaGrace

He had rules for a reason, or thats what he said. I did something wrong I got punished. I spoke out of turn, I got punished. I looked at him or ate without permission, I got punished. Haven thats what they named me funny isn't it? Ironic really. They named me Haven because my mom would say I was her 'Safe Haven'. What a pile of shit that was. She left willingly, she didn't depart because of some tragic accident. My father didn't kill her. She left because she was a coward who didn't want kids. As soon as my older brother went to college she left. I knew she hated me. I was the product of her love with another man. A constant reminder that her life didn't work out the way it was planned. He who ever he was is a phantom in its own. A deep rooted fantasy never going to come true. My brother left, my mother left, my grandma ignored, and my father broke. They let me give up hope on escaping and then decided to play hero. But I haven't forgotten everything I went through. Guilt consumes my brother but I don't care, you don't get to leave and then buy a reprieve of trying to save someone who has been dead for years. Besides lets just be honest I reached my breaking point long ago.
