As If Love Doesn't Exist Novels & Stories

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

"Stay here with Amanda, Ms. Sanders. I'll take care of the fees." Tears welled up in Charlotte's eyes as she stared at Jonathan gratefully. He patted her shoulder soothingly but shot me a dark look. "Tessa, if you apologize to Ms. Sanders and Amanda now, we can move past this." His words stabbed through me like a dagger. The burning sensation on my calf was nothing compared to my heartbreak at that moment. I stared at the man I had loved for the last six years. A bitter smile etched upon my bloodless face as I relented. "Fine. I'm sorry."

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.”

Everything is ‘I’ these days. How can love exist in a world where the word, ‘myself’ exists? I think it is foolishness to believe the lies surrounding ‘love’. People are dreaming. It is like they live in a different planet on earth. Every day is a day for them to dream on. I even hear some say they wait for the love of their lives. Is that not waste of time? Why sit around and mope and day-dream about a world that does not exist? --//

Once again closing his eyes, he rubs them through the pad of his thumb before reopening them. “Love doesn’t even exist.” His voice is low as he tells me. I am not a kid, if he thinks so. Love exists. His thinking is sick. I guess he needs some treatment. “You’re wrong.” “I can give you everything, even respect. But I can’t claim to give love.” “Then I’m sorry, Mr Mathews.” I shake my head no, getting up and stepping back. “Anything!” He reminds me. I shake my head again. “Love.”

carefully without leaving out anything. "if you don't believe me, you can call your cousin and he will confirm everything with you. Asia was filled with bewilderment, how could she have misunderstood him like this, what did she do. He even had an accident and almost died yet she treated him so badly all this while. Her mailbox was filled up with his messages, couldn't she have given him a chance to explain first. Him being persistent should have rang a bell in her mind that if he had someone else, he wouldn't bother himself sending her messages almost everyday. Asia's eyes were filled with so much remorse and tears just rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. Chris

Love and family. THE END

ASHLEY Love. Was there anything like that in the first place? Pfft. I put it to you that it's just an illusion. A crappy feeling that takes a lot from you with nothing to show for it. That shit about meeting the one was crap. It was total bullshit. There is no such thing as love and even if there was, all it ever does was take everything away from you, subject you to the mercy of manipulations, and make you do things that you wouldn't do if you were in your right senses.

His voice trailed off. "You heard me loud and clear. Love doesn't exists. It is a cover up for lust or something similar to that." "Lust! Can you hear yourself clearly?" "Yes I can hear myself clearly." "Lust is a feeling of strong desire especially one driven by sexual arousal." "I already know what lust is, Goodness. You don't need to educate me." "Forgive me, Perer but you are insane." Insane! It meant that I was out of my mind for saying that love doesn't exists. Do you feel that I am insane too?

I'm not sure if I'm just a replacement for Rose or—” “Renee,” Lia softly interrupted. “Sometimes there are men who cannot express love in words.
