As If Love Doesn't Exist Novels & Stories

Survive? She accepted me. Even when I didn't. Even when I couldn't. And now she was gone. No more soft footsteps behind me. No more flowers in her hair. No more stupid little smiles that wrecked me for days. Because here's the truth no one tells you: Love—real love—doesn't give a damn about power. You can't conquer it. You can't buy it. You can't seduce it into staying when you've wrecked it one too many times.

I said quietly, a tear rolling down my cheek, purposely talking about someone loving me which will never happen as love doesn't exist in my world anymore. All of a sudden I was pulled into his arms. He wrapped his arms around my body tightly, caging me. "No one can love you like I do....you are going to be no one's...UNDERSTOOD?...NO ONE'S ONLY MINE. No one can steal you away from me.... I will win you back my badass angel. I will do everything but I will not let you move on so easily. I know I hurt you....I know I don't deserve you but Fai-" he cupped my cheeks with a tear falling out of his eye while I look at him with disbelief. "I love you so much....so fucking much...you don't understan

“You must have been so shaken up, seeing as you’re being so…nice. I could almost mistake you for a man in love.” “Love?” I scoffed. “That’s a luxury people like me can’t afford.” “Says who?” She raised her brow, staring me down. “People like you never know when it’s happening. You just wake up on a random Tuesday with that heaviness in your chest, and you realize it. You realize that you had failed to realize it.” “Magnus must have added something to his concoctions, Sage, but I am going to have to prove you wrong. Love…whatever that word is, does that exist here.”

Was he really thinking about that? I think it was time to put my organised lines into use, so I looked up. "No, I can not marry someone that I do not love." He laughed in amusement and replied, "Love? Do you also think Love exists?" Does he think Love does not exist? How is that possible? "I do not care if you think Love exists or not but what I know is that, I will never marry someone that I do not love." I told him. Inwardly, I was surprised at my unusual guts but it was for the better.

How can I unlove you when I am living because of you. It's so hard to act like I didn't know you, it's so hard to act like you do not exist but the truth is, you are the one who exist and I aint. It is the opposite, I don't know if you even remember our first encounter, my lady, you are the reason why I exist. How I miss the sight of you, it's so hard to pretend I didn't know you, Zipporah. So long, my love. One day, I will cease to exist, but all my life I will love you.

I like you, Connor". He was overwhelmed. He went even shyer because she just opened up what he could not. "I like you, too. I hope we can meet here again tomorrow". "Sure", she replied. They stood up. Connor shouldered her for a few meters before bidding her goodbye. Connor could not understand what he was feeling for her, but one thing was sure. She did affect her. Avice was having a good moment recapping Connor's shyness, as she walked back home. She felt like someone was walking behind her and looked back, but could not find anyone.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath “You know you could not take me from him, there was no way you could do it. Because he would have killed you. But I've been kidnapped from your care and home too many times.” The word sits in the air for a second and he processes the words too late. “Now you're here.” “Because I chose to walk away. I chose to lie to him, it's a mistake I'll never repeat again.” He chuckles. “You think there's a future between you two?” “He loves me, I know there's a future.” Jaylen laughs this time, he almost snorts. “Mikhail and love do not go hand in hand. He was not designed to love anyone.”

Eric smiled softly. “Hazel, I love you.” (The End)

Jonathan's sentimental promises had come too late, and I no longer needed them. He tried to grab my hand but ended up grabbing thin air instead. "Please, Tess, give me another chance." The company's car slowly rolled to a stop before me. I brushed past Jonathan and headed into the car. The moment the door closed behind me, I heard his anguished sob cut through the crisp, autumn air. But I didn't so much as give him a backward glance. … A week later, I came across a video online. I clicked on it to find that it was footage of Jonathan and Charlotte.

And if that made me foolish, then so be it. Because love - real love - isn’t just about showing up when it’s easy. Sometimes, it’s about showing up when no one can see you. --- Hours later, I checked the phone again. Still no reply. I didn’t cry. Not this time. I just clutched the phone to my chest, closed my eyes, and whispered into the dark: “Don’t give up. I’m still here.”
