Be Careful Who You Trust Novels & Stories

"You can trust me, but be wary of others. This city is vast, and other entities are lurking, waiting for the chance to strike like predators. Be cautious and remember the survival rule: eat or be eaten." I nodded, understanding the gravity of his warning.

"Never. It will never happen again, I promise. No one is ever going to hurt any one of you again. I shall give my life to keep you all safe, you know I will." "But we will have to be careful, all of us. We have to be mindful of the places we go, the rooms we enter into, the people we involve ourselves with. There are only few people we can trust, but keep your ears open and your eyes sharp, okay?" They nodded in agreement. I propped my knee in a squat, so I could examine all their faces from a closer range.

Before drinking, her smirked at her and said, “Only people with weak minds will lose if they trust people easily, Feliza.” She frowned. “What do you mean?” He shrugged, looking at her straight in the eyes. “Trust is a very dangerous thing in this world, Vixen. Be careful about that.” His words hung heavily on the air as she stared at him. She dared not speak as his words hit right through her core. Trust, huh?

"People in Lagos have your new number? The one I had my tech team set up with triple encryption?" Damn it. I'd forgotten about that detail. "I gave it to a few trusted people," I said quickly. "Before I left. In case of emergencies." He studied me for another long moment. I could see him weighing whether to push, whether to call out the obvious lie, whether to demand I show him the phone. Instead, he just nodded slowly. "Be careful who you trust, Aria. Even people you think are loyal can surprise you." "I know, I know."

Dangerous, in the sense that I had to anticipate, to move before others acted. “I… I understand,” I said, my voice firmer now, steadier. “I’ll do whatever it takes.” Luca gave a slow nod, almost approving, before stepping back. “Good. But remember, Elena… there are no guarantees. In this world, in this life… even the strongest, the smartest, the most loyal… they can fall. And sometimes… the people you trust the most are the ones you need to watch carefully.”

Caleb stared at me, before turning his back on me. "I am not asking you to believe or trust me. I am telling you to trust no one and to be careful." Before it completely disappeared from my sight, he said something that stuck in my mind. "Why would you trust someone if you could just choose to be in between. Trust yourself, it's safer than choosing to trust me, or Zack, in this place. You won't be an ally if not yourself." . . .

“There was… an incident. He asked me to tell you he’s okay but unreachable for now.” My heart clenched. An incident? My mind raced with possibilities, was it business? Personal? Something darker? I stared out the window at the city, its endless hustle unaware of the turmoil beneath its surface. Then, my phone buzzed again. This time, a single message from an unknown number I haven’t seen yet. From an Unknown number: Be careful who you trust. Not everyone is who they seem. I stared at it, fingers trembling. Who’s this?

"We're not suggesting otherwise. We're just letting you know what people are saying. Better you hear it from friends than from enemies." "Are we friends?" I asked bluntly. "We could be." Elena leaned forward. "We're all women navigating this world. We understand the challenges, the expectations, the constant scrutiny. We thought you might appreciate having people who understand what you're going through." It sounded genuine. But I had learned not to trust appearances in this world. "I appreciate that. Really." I said. "Before I forget here's a piece of advice." "What's that?" "Be very careful who you trust. This world is full of people who will smile to your face whilst planning your downfal

Williams opened it with a grim expression and snatched it down. There was only one piece of paper with the following terrifying message on it: Never put your trust in anyone. You underestimate how close they are.

To be honest, I don't really completely trust this guy because not only he's a stranger to me that was recommended by Calix to me, he's also a someone who's not included in the novel so I had no idea what kind of man is he unlike Irnes. So I specifically stated this term to avoid being betrayed by this guy. 'Being careful is good so I put it there just incase' Being careful with the people who you associate yourself with won't hurt yourself so I think it's better this way. At the very least, my heart will be at peace.
