Absolution Book Summary Novels & Stories

Silence lingered between them. The rest of the flight was quiet as Kevin sat in another seat at the back busy signing documents and discussing business matters while Emma read a book and intermittently looked out the window watching the scenery below and sometimes stealing a glance back at him and caught him looking at her. After an hour, Kevin walked to her, checking on her as she drifted off to sleep. The leather-bound book she was reading lay open on her lap, the words written on its open page clearly visible; “If I know what love is, it is because of you!" Kevin smiled and then put the book aside. There was no lie in it.

Tasting the filth, the fire, the fever he wrote into every page of my skin. The next morning, a box sat on the kitchen counter. Hardcover, freshly printed.

The back cover quote? I read it aloud.

“This—us—it’s not sin. It’s love. Holy in its own way. You don’t need forgiveness from anyone but yourself.” Tears fell, mixing with the water. “I love you,” I confessed, the words freeing something deep inside. “You’ve saved me.” She smiled, soft and real. “I love you too, angel. And I’ll corrupt you every day if that’s what it takes to keep you.” In her arms, with the crucifix watching from the wall, I found my absolution. Not in prayer, but in her touch. In our sin.

I wanted to tell her that someone like Sophia didn’t deserve defending, that she was pure evil, but Gabby saw it differently.

“I know you don’t believe him, Maisie!” “It is not that I don’t believe him, baby!” she sighs, “It is the fact that you believed him so easily, It is true, I find his story unbelievable because of the way he narrated it, plus, I feel like some parts are missing, I mean, most alcoholic men shows tendencies of being violent and abusive, especially towards family members, but through the whole story, he portrayed himself as a sad broken man, a victim to circumstances, trying to overcome his sadness, while his family didn’t show him the support he needed, and his daughter, who was embarrassed with him, decided to leave, which resulted in breaking down the family!” That is not how he narrated thi

I grabbed her chin between my thumb and forefinger, pulling her face to mine as I breathed undiluted madness and despair into her. She wrenched her face loose from my fingers and screamed as she writhed in pain, falling forward out of the chair, making me move back. I stepped over her thrashing body while I looked down on her writhing body, as I squatted next to her. “Only you can stop the agony and despair now, just give me what I want. Give me the Fire Element or die slowly and painfully.” I chuckled as I stood up and walked away toward Antone. He was already waiting for me in the corridor outside his study. I could hear the screams of agony as I closed and locked the door of the study.
