Daughters Of The Promise Novels & Stories

My throat felt tight, my chest heavy, and my heart was beating so loudly I could almost hear it in my ears. I wanted to ask her why. I wanted to scream that I’m her daughter, not her puppet. But the words stayed trapped in my throat, trembling like they were afraid of her too. “I promise,” I finally whispered, my voice breaking into pieces. “I promise I’ll make you proud.

I know I sound heartless and this is too much to ask of you after what you're about to do, but I speak as a father who couldn't protect her baby girl. I don't want to lose my granddaughter as well. Please, Mr. Stone, promise me, that you won't speak to her, won't tell her anything." I turned away from him feeling the burning sensation in my eyes. I couldn't even begin to imagine what I was about to put her through. I was beginning to wonder if all this was worth it but knew the answer immediately. If it keeps her safe, anything would be worth

During the dream schools exercise, I expected him to list Araros, but instead, he matched my choice of Nyxifall. I was shocked. "What about Araros?" He slumped over his desk. "Nah, it's overrated. Nyxifall sounds solid." ... Three days before the exams, he ripped up his slip. When I probed, he stayed silent. That night, I learned the truth: Pierre Wiley's wife and son had both perished in a car crash, and he was summoning Mamie and Ted back. Pierre finally paid attention to his one remaining heir, offering legitimacy and inheritance if Ted stayed in Eldonfield.

You promised" "He doesn't deserve you, princess. Let him go" "I can't. I love him and we promised to be together forever" "Promises are meant to be broken, Princess." "But..... But if I let him go then I'll be all alone." "You've never been alone Princess. I'm here" "But I can't even see you" "That is because you don't want to see me. Open your eyes and look at me. Really look"

Scars, small but clear, were dotted around his exposed skin. “Rescue me? How did you even know I was here?” “Informants that want to undermine OA rule and bring the world back to peace again-“ Interrupting him, I shook my head “The Nations? They’re destroyed, Mr Nightingale killed Mrs Velt.” “No, not The Nations. A sister organization Infinite Light-“ “And you just expect me to trust you? How can I possibly trust you? You’ve lied to me after all these years.”

I frowned at her, "how the hell you get that in here without me seeing it?" She shrugged, "cause you didn't see your baby daddy go get it." The votes were even. Brooke, Dutch, Nathan, and Seth had all chosen boy. Christine, Erin, and Travis had chosen girl. "As you can see it's fifty, fifty here...soooo..." I frowned at her causing her to laugh, she knew I was super impatient. Walking up to me she handed me a tube of what I could only guess would be confetti that popped out everywhere when I pulled the string.

“No. Frosted Flakes. We suffer in sweetness here.” I chuckled. A real one this time. She wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug, and I melted into it. For a second, I imagined us frozen there.

"Mommy, I promise I'll always remember you picked Daddy even when it was hard. I promise to help you be brave when you're scared, just like you taught me to be brave when the sad lady was mixed up about love." Bella started to cry, covering her heart with her hand. "I promise to be the best big sister ever to our new baby. I'll help them know that families stay together even when bad things happen because love is stronger than being scared." Emma turned to me, her green eyes serious because of the big promises she wrote weeks ago. "Daddy, I promise to remember you came back home because you know now that running from love doesn't keep anyone safe. I promise I'll help you remember every day t

She's making a promise to raise her daughter with emphasis on independence and autonomy and she's making a promise to teach her daughter about what healthy love looks like and she's making a promise to make sure her daughter understands that she has options and choices and the ability to refuse to accept conditional love or possessive love or love that comes with control.

"She just made a mistake..." "It wasn't just a mistake, mother, but I assure you, no one deserves to be treated like that, especially a woman... and worse! For a man who doesn't even give you the slightest attention..." her daughter responded, none other than the organizer and hostess of the event, her sister-in-law.
