Novel & Cerita Flawed

"I'm quick to anger. I solve my problems with violence. I'm stubborn to a fault. I'm not willing to forgive. I have impeccable taste in suits—" "Not a flaw," I point out. "—but my taste is also very expensive." He's smiling slightly at his own joke, but the smile fades. "I hold back. I'm slow to trust. I feel things, asteraki mu, sometimes too deeply, and I let them tear into me without doing anything about them. I want to be better, but I don't think I ever will be. Those are all flaws. I have more, but I don't think I know what they are."

​The Flaw of Trust: He confessed that his inability to trust anyone led to the creation of the disastrous Voidance Clause (in the decoy will) and the five-year Escrow sentence (in the true will). ​The Flaw of Pride: He admitted that his pride forced him to rely on his own brilliance, leading him to overlook the ethical decay that almost destroyed the company. ​The Flaw of Attachment: He wrote extensively about his contempt for Damian's attachment to Tasha and the subsequent disaster of the car accident. ​"It can't be one of the corporate flaws," I stated, tapping the screen. "He leveraged those flaws to test us. The answer has to be personal and deeply embarrassing to him."

Die choosing. Not programmed. Not modified. Not controlled. Just me. Flora. Human. Flawed. Free. That had to count for something. Even if I did not survive to see if it mattered.

“…It’s learning how to use them.” The words felt wrong even as I said them. Because flaws were never supposed to be an advantage Imperfection was supposed to break systems. Not strengthen them Not refine them Not… weaponize them Theodore exhales sharply “…So we just made it worse.” I don’t argue “…Yes.” Aurelion’s light dims slightly “That shouldn’t be possible.” Eryndor mutters “It shouldn’t have been possible a long time ago.”

“Why?” “No reason. Just didn’t know.” He looks adorable in glasses, I texted Tessa. That’s definitely a flaw. That’s the OPPOSITE of a flaw! I’m disowning you. I laughed. Set my phone down. “What’s funny?” Lycian asked. “Tessa thinks you’re too perfect. Wants me to find your flaws.” “I have plenty of flaws.” “Name three.” “I’m possessive. I have anger issues. And I’m terrible at letting people help me.”

“Then what is it?” --- The Tenth Twist The figure didn’t attack. Didn’t move. It simply spoke. “You misunderstood.” Silence fell. Raven blinked. “Excuse me?” The figure’s gaze remained locked on Ethan. “You believe I oppose balance.” Ethan’s expression didn’t change. “You do.” The figure shook its head slightly. “No.” A pause. “I expose its flaw.” --- The Flaw Revealed The system beneath them pulsed— But this time— It didn’t align cleanly.

Dale turned slowly, her breath increasing. She had turned to see someone flat on the mud. She couldn't recognize the figure. All she knew was that he was a human being was now in complete deformation. His pelvic joint was now pushed out and his right arm now amputated. His legs twisted in a position beyond repair. He muttered some words and was in great pain. Slowly turned towards her direction, stretching his plate forward still muttering the arms incantation. Jessy felt Dale's grip was beginning to loosen from her waist.

Her voice was shaky and I knew she was about to cry but she didn’t deserve any of this. “Mom, it was never your fault. He’s a cheat and a bad husband even if he was a partially good father too. He was never home for any of us just like you too. It’s not your fault but he didn’t have any right to cheat on you and leave like your marriage meant nothing to him. That’s sheer wickedness” It was nothing but the truth.

"Can you just drop this whole attitude thing? We were both wrong so stop acting as if it was all my fault!" "Okay." She took a sip from her mug and almost spat it, cold coffee was horrible. "I'm sorry about last night and I shouldn't have..." Cold coffee tasted like cow dung water, cow dung soaked in water, not that she knew how cow dung tasted, hell no! "... I'm not perfect Amirah and there's the tendency for making mistakes on my part and I apologise if I'm not everything you want or..." But just because cow dung smelt bad doesn't mean it tasted bad, she should google it later. She was sure some idiot must have tasted it.

Alicia asked her, removing her gaze from the sky to her sister only for a brief seconds. "I think we are the most unlucky set of women. I think we trust too much. I think we fall inlove do quickly. I think we are goddamn stupid." Anna breathed out. "I can't agree with you less. You are right. We are the most foolish set if people, for falling so quickly with the worst men. I am a very big fool for signing those contracts without reading it. You are a fool, for ever believing that your husband could ever change in a twinkle of an eye."
