Here For The Wrong Reasons Novels & Stories

A Bad Idea Irina spent the entire weekend avoiding Kyle. Or at least attempting to. The first mistake was checking her phone. The second was realizing she was disappointed every time it wasn’t him. The third was admitting it. Even if only to herself. By Sunday evening she had convinced herself that a little distance was healthy. Necessary. Smart. After all, Kyle George represented everything she should avoid. Another powerful man. Another risk. Another opportunity to get hurt. The logic was sound.

he admitted, his uncertainty reflecting his genuine desire to understand her perspective. Emilia's smile was bittersweet, containing a hint of melancholy. She understood the complexity of her own actions and the futility of trying to justify them. "I have reasons for everything I do," she began, her voice tinged with a tinge of sadness. "But that doesn't mean those reasons become a defense against my actions. Sometimes, even unjustified actions have reasons behind them. So what's the use of listening to those reasons if they won't justify my actions?"

He was wrong for rejecting her. He was wrong for insulting her. He was wrong for lying his way with her. He was wrong to not treat her the way she deserved. He was always wrong. But damn him, why did he realize so late? Why did he have to realize his wrongdoings only when he was on the brink of losing her? He was still debating and cursing himself for being so blind, so stone-hearted when his phone started ringing. Sighing heavily he looked at the caller's I'd and had no heart to answer it but went against it.

Two wrongs do not make a right. I can see that sometimes there might be a need of Blackmarsh’s strength. To stop a terrorist attack, or an armed robbery. To fight supernatural beings who are doing harm, preying on others, being that human police could do nothing about. I could justify that to myself. Asking Blackmarsh to see justice done, not ordering it to serve my own ends.

How can she act this childish when she is eighteen already? We are the same age ,but I act even more mature than her. All she does is prank me or annoy me and it's really getting me so angry. " Someone woke up at the wrong side of the bed," Mum said, walking into the living room from the kitchen. "Mum didn't you hear Vivian banging on my door?" I asked . "I asked her to call you to come eat breakfast. I didn't know she would go bang on your door, sorry hun. " mum said.

“Lust? Is that what you think this is? You think I’d burn my bridges, risk my company, my reputation for lust?” “Wouldn’t you?” he sneers. I take a step forward, close enough to smell the whiskey on his breath. My voice drops, lethal calm. “No. I’m doing this because I won’t let her fight this alone. I’m doing this because someone in this family has to stand for what’s right, instead of hiding behind legacy and wealth.” Ariana whispers my name, but I don’t stop. I can’t. Not now. My mother rises gracefully, eyes narrowed. “If you choose her, you’re choosing against us. Against your blood. Against your inheritance. Is that truly what you want?”

She looked, Sophie thought, like a woman who had decided to put something down that she had been carrying too long. "I tried to sacrifice both of my daughters' happiness for a business arrangement," Margaret said. The words were plain and deliberate, the way her mother said things when she had rehearsed them enough times that the rehearsal had burned away and only the truth was left. "I told myself it was for the family. For stability. For the future. And those things were true — but they were not the whole truth, and I knew they weren't, and I kept arranging and managing and planning anyway." She paused. "I watched Charlotte disappear into a life she didn't want, and I told myself it was he

“Does the reason matter? If the thing itself is wrong?” Aria held her son’s gaze and felt the weight of the question, not a child’s question, not an adult’s question, but something in between. The question of someone who was trying to build a moral framework that could hold complexity. “The reason matters for understanding,” she said carefully. “It matters for forgiving. It matters for deciding what someone might do next, because people who do wrong things from fear behave differently from people who do wrong things from cruelty.” She paused. “But the reason doesn’t change whether the thing itself was wrong. It just changes what you do with that knowledge.”

Mia insisted. “Does it make me wrong that initially doing the right thing really didn’t have much to do with doing the right thing? That my initial motive for doing the right thing was revenge for years of mistreatment?” I questioned. “No, it makes you human. Everyone has their limits and can be pushed only so far before they push back. You pushed back by doing what you knew was right,” she said softly as she crawled across the bed to sit in my lap.

I've lived in it at intervals since I was six years old, the specific quality of being weighed by something larger than yourself and coming up short in its accounting. What's different this time is that I know it's wrong. Not defensively. Not with the fragile bravado of someone who needs to believe it to survive.
