Confession Book Novels & Stories

mind: the secret glances, the whispered promises, the hidden touches. I recall the rush of adrenaline as we sneaked around, avoiding detection. But now, those memories taunt me, reminders of my failure. I glance around my room, the familiar comforts now feeling hollow. My icons, once reminders of my devotion, now seem like mocking echoes of my failure. The crucifix on my wall appears to judge me, Christ's eyes seeming to bore into my soul.I think of my congregation, trusting souls who look up to me for guidance. What would they say if they knew? Would they still listen to my words, or would they see the hypocrisy? My parents, devout Catholics who encouraged my vocation, would be heartbroken

I'm nervous in a way that I haven't been nervous in years. This book feels more vulnerable than the others. The first book was testimony. The second book was about healing. But this book is about my marriage. This book is about Dominic and me and the specific work that we've done. This book is me saying to the world: This is what real love looks like. The first reading is in New York. The bookstore is packed. More people than I expected. People who've read my other books. People who've heard about the foundation. People who are curious about what comes after survival and transformation.

She was just like the old me, wasn't she? No matter how coldly she had been treated, she would still run after him like a hopeful puppy. The only difference was that I had confessed to him 143 times over the course of five years. As I carried my belongings into the cab, I received a text message from Aldric. "Let's have your 144th declaration tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you with the decorated car." I laughed before removing my SIM card and tossing it away. My luggage had been packed, and a one-way ticket to Eastmere had been booked.

I can see Angel moving from the corner of my eyes. “You better get me something, or our deal is off’, he says, and I nod slightly. He takes one step back as he starts moving around the room. He touches the books and then looks at me. “I need something and fast. I need you to find out where they are based”, he says, and I look down at my hands, and I can see Angel moving closer to me. “If you know anything, tell him”, Angel whispers and I can see he is being honest with me. He is being himself and not the gorilla sent to terrify me. I look up and take a deep breath.

Little did he know that the next confession would lead him down a path of emotions he had long suppressed. The sharp sound of a stiletto caught the attention of another man serving in the lord's presence. He looked up to see a lady with black hair, fair skin, and an alluring figure. "I wonder what a beauty like her has to confess," the guy mumbled as he watched Khana knock before entering the confession room. Khana sat, her voice trembling as she began to speak, "In the name of the Holy Spirit, Amen." "May the presence of the Lord be with you. May the Lord find the path to your heart. May you humbly confess your sins in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen." Father Henr

I whispered, the microphone catching the hitch in my voice, "the only way to know mercy is to be completely consumed by the sin. To feel the fire until there is nothing left but total surrender and the name of the Lord on your lips." I abruptly closed the book. My face was flushed, my heart hammering. I could feel the throb in my lap, the familiar, shameful bulge against the silk of my robes. As the choir began the hymn, she didn't join in. She simply stood, adjusted the strap of her bag, and winked at me before slipping out the side door. She had heard my confession, and she knew I was far from cured. I was back in the confession booth the next Friday. Days of fasting and discipline went do

I read the author's name and book title. Alina. He must be reading it before his turn comes. "We do shit Sanchi. We all do. Nobody is born saint." He gripped the book tight. "People who say they are good, do more shit than any of us. I never said I am a good person. I had done bad things in my life. Things I am not proud of. I've been into guilt and regret." He stopped for a second and stared at the wooden door. I listened to him carefully. I never saw this side of Kabir. Dark and . . . broken.

I don't want to reread or relive the last chapter of this book of my life. I have spent years hiding the hurt and heartbreak that consumes me. The need for antidepressants has come along with being repeatedly rejected and tormented by someone I care about. My belief is the pain wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the knowledge of knowing it's all pain Seth is inflicting on me. I am not sure what is happening but I don't think my heart can take anymore. I've spent all evening laying on this bed shedding more tears than I even knew I had.

Charlatans! The back room was large. He searched, until he found the book, he searched for. The book was massive, covered in a thick layer of dust. The cover was locked with a handle that was shaped like a figure with elongated arms, he forced the lock. Nothing happened, he wasn't losing hope. With one movement of his hand, he removed the layer of dust.

Reece motioned and I opened my confession. My heart thudded instantly as I recognized the handwriting. It was mine! I had gotten my own confession. My hands began to shake as it was all messed up. It would be obvious because it would sound too natural. I cleared my throat and glanced at everyone before reading. “Every time I pray with all my heart that Reece and Kaden would suddenly have their legs broken and amputated and lay on a hospital bed so they won’t be able to move.” I read, trying to sound monotone and I could see people folding their lips, trying not to laugh.
