A Vow Of No Forgiveness Novels & Stories

When she realized Sarah wasn't messing around, she immediately started begging. "I don't have anything to do with your husband anymore! I was just joking before. I didn't know what I was saying. Please, have mercy on me!" Sarah stepped on Yvonne's fingers and slowly pressed down. She listened to Yvonne scream, and still, it didn't feel like enough. Suddenly, Yvonne started confessing everything. "Lucas paid me to say all that! He came to me! I didn't even want to do it, but he offered so much money. Please, just take pity on me!"

"Sienna, I was wrong. Camille lied to me. I didn't mean to cause Jamie's death–I just wanted to discipline him. I love him. I love you. I never wanted to hurt either of you. "I'm sorry. This is all my fault. Sienna… please forgive me one more time." I looked down at him, a trace of cold mockery in my eyes. "If you want my forgiveness, then Jamie would have to come back to life. The child I never got to carry would have to return to my body. "Connor… do you think that's possible?" He clutched at the hem of my pants, his voice desperate. "Sienna, we can have more children. As many as you want. Think about how happy we used to be. I even learned sign language for you. I swear I'll treat you rig

He continued. “We live in a time that treats promises lightly. As though commitment is optional. As though desire alone is justification.” A ripple of agreement moved through the congregation. I felt heat rise to my face, my heart started the kind of race and pound combo that it does whenever I feel doom lurking. He didn’t look at me. Not yet. “A vow,” he said, “is not made when one feels nothing. It is made in full knowledge that feeling may come… and still, one chooses obedience.”

That gave you so many opportunities to hurt us without consequence! "And don't apologize to us anymore, because your apologies are worthless. Kimmy and I won't accept them, and we certainly won't forgive you!" My words left Alexander speechless, his eyes full of regret and guilt. After a long moment, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes reddened. "Bella, what will it take for you to forgive me?" I pointed forcefully toward the outside. "Get out and never appear in front of me again. Even breathing the same air as you makes me sick."

He quickly turned to me and stepped forward to grab my shoulders, “you don’t have to choose. It’s nothing for me to help you. And my offer still stands. If you can’t offer me any other compensation…. I will be happy with anything. Please just give me a chance.” I bit my lip. His eyes were pleading, desperate, and sincere. After a few moments of thought, I slowly nodded, “I will go out with you. You don’t have to buy my tuition.” “Really?” He looked relieved and pulled me into a tight hug. “I want to do it for you. Pay me back… however you want.” ~ Present Day It was that deal that Jacob had quoted when I caught him at the bar. My forgiveness repaid my debt. My suffering was compensation.

At the Volkovs, still healing from their own traumas. "But we did recover. Not because we're special or strong or lucky. Because we refused to give up on each other. Because we learned that forgiveness isn't weakness—it's the bravest thing we can do. Because we discovered that family isn't just blood. It's choice. It's showing up. It's fighting for each other even when it's hard." Ava squeezed his free hand.

Her fierce expression quickly turned into one of false innocence, faster than a sudden change in weather. "Sister, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have come here and I shouldn't be with Wayne, but Marcus and I truly love each other. I know you still love Marcus, but you've already married his uncle. You can't betray him now. After all, we're family. I know you hate me, but even if you do, you shouldn't do this. How can you play with both uncle and nephew at the same time? It's wrong and you shouldn't do it…”

They thought confinement would teach me obedience, that shame would break me. But all it did was sharpen the vow forming in my chest. I would not beg for Caelan again. I would not plead with parents who saw only disgrace. I would not show them weakness—not ever again. If they wished me silent, then let them. I would use the silence to forge myself stronger. I pressed my palm over my belly, lips moving soundlessly. A vow, whispered not to my parents, not even to Caelan, but to myself and the life within me:

“We tie the knot. We pretend to be married. And we leave without any problems after a year. “ When Sophia saw the contract her eyes remained fixed. “And what happens if one of us violates the rules?” Adrian laughed dryly and said, “ You mean if we both fall in love with each other? That's not going to happen. However, there is a non-contest clause in that scenario. You'll forfeit all of your rights to the assistance I offer. The Bennett partnership will no longer be under my control.” “Convenient.” She reclined in the leather seat. “No intimacy. No affection.” “Exactly. This is a strategic alliance, not a romance,” he stated.
