Novel & Cerita 12 Rules For Life

“They won’t touch your body. They’ll dismantle your reputation until you beg to leave.” Aruna leaned forward. “So what are the rules?” Leonard’s lips curved faintly. “Rule one: never explain yourself.” Aruna blinked. “That’s it?” “No,” Leonard said. “That’s survival.” He stood and walked toward the bar, speaking without turning. “The moment you explain, you position yourself as inferior.” Aruna nodded slowly. “So silence is power.” “Exactly,” Leonard replied. “Rule two: never react immediately.” She raised an eyebrow. “Even when provoked?”

AVA “ Avoid the blue eyed, maddeningly attractive bad boy covered in tattoos, he'll ruin you.” I carve it deep into the back of my mind and make sure my body knows it too. That’s the most important rule I have to stick to if I don’t want my life wrecked. It’s not just about the lectures my mom drilled into me, I know it myself. Boys like that can wreck you and they’ll wear a damn smirk on their face while doing it.

Deciding enough is enough, I push myself up from the chair, grabbing the napkin beside my plate and tossing it carelessly onto the table. “Well then, Superman,” I say, stepping up to him. “For us to live in peace, let’s establish some rules.” “Rule number one,” I begin, holding up a finger. “No staring.” He doesn’t reply, so I take it as permission to continue. “Rule number two,” I continue. “No following me everywhere.” “That defeats the purpose of guarding you.” “You can guard me from a reasonable distance.” “Like?” I wave vaguely upstairs. “Like me in my room and you in yours, doing whatever emotionally unavailable people do.”

I opened it and began to read. 1. Rule 1: You will never anticipate a future with me. 2. Rule 2: You must not cheat on me throughout your marriage with me. 3. Rule 3: You shall not ask me where I go at night or what I do as it is none of your business. 4. Rule 4: You are prohibited to fall in love with me. 5. Rule 5: You aren’t allowed to interfere in my business or invade my privacy. 6. Rule 6: You will not lie or hide anything from me. I hate betrayal and lies.

"We're making ten rules," Xavier said, "Rule number 1: No matter how angry we are at each other our favorite ice cream should solve the problem." "Good. That way I wouldn't have to be all depressed about your mood swings," I said giggling. "Hahaha very funny," he mocked, "your turn to make up a rule." "Okay so rule number 2: We should be happy for each other's successes," I said smiling. "Good one," Xavier praised, "Rule number 3: If you are doing something you can't tell your best friend about then you shouldn't do it."

“Your failure to carry out this simple task shows that you are not fit for this mission. Hence, you will be withdrawn as soon as possible and other options will be considered.” ‘Options?’ Sweat broke out of my face, as I find it difficult to swallow saliva. My eyes traced its footsteps back to the second message sent a few minutes after the first one. The Second message reads: “never forget the three rules. Rule one: Focus is the name of the game, the end result is more important than anything else. Rule two: Your cover is more important than your life.

He leaned closer and kneeled. Without saying a word, he untied only my hands' ropes, leaving my feet glued to the chair sticks. He then grabbed the silver tape without a single stutter, which burned my lips. "Listen, we will play by my rules here," he said with an unclear voice through the mask. "What do you want?!" "Rule number one, I am the only one who can speak."

Rule 1: Never fall in love with your best friend’s sister. The first rule. The reason for all the others. The one rule I should never break, even though it has been broken from the start. Rule 2: Never lose control. Essential for a guy who lives one bad decision away from the edge. I use visualization, breathing, and mental drills.

Chapter 71 ••~••°••~•• Luciano ••~••°••~•• Fuck. There are three rules I live by. One: Always trust your instincts, no matter the situation. Secondly, don't make stupid mistakes that will get you killed.

Most needed. Master has many rules for me. Rules I must obey. Rules that govern every aspect of my life. One of the most important rules is this: I must never speak unless spoken to. This rule, above all others, defines my existence. It is the foundation upon which my world is built.
