I Promise You This I'll Always Look After You Novels & Stories

“From the beginning. For everything.” The room was quiet around us, but I didn’t care who was watching. “I promise,” I said, my voice breaking slightly despite my effort to keep it steady, “I will always be here for you.” The vow left me without hesitation. No thought. No doubt. Because it was the only thing I knew with complete certainty. I would not fail them again.

“Promise me you’ll stay… no matter what happens.” I lean in, lips brushing her temple, the tip of her ear. “I don’t just promise. I swear. I’m yours, dolcezza. Always. And if this family or anyone dares to forget that, I’ll remind them, over and over, until it sinks in.”

“I’m trusting you to watch out for her. Take care of her and keep her safe for me. Promise me Rik. Promise me you’ll always look after my little girl.” I’m laying on my back, looking at him. My legs won’t move because of my injuries and as I watch him, I feel the teeth sink into my throat. As the darkness surrounds me, I hear his whisper on the wind. “I promise.”

I feel my eyes get wet as his words replayed in my head. “This is my promise to you Ava, no matter what happens, I will always stand by your side. No matter how far apart we are, I WILL ALWAYS COME AND FIND YOU. ALWAYS AND FOREVER, AND UNTIL FOREVER FALLS APART.” Those were his words to me, and I found some comfort in them. I had to believe in his promise to me that he was going to always find me. I know he was going to find me, I just hope in time.

I gasp before saying breathlessly, “You do?” “I do. Alana, I want to wake up next to you every morning. I want to make you smile all the time. I promise to always protect you and the child. I promise to treat the child like my own. In fact, I promise to claim the child as my own. If you promise to stay with me always.”

“I need you here. Not just for the healing, but… because I want you. Here. With me.” He looked down at me, eyes stormy, searching. “I’ll always be here,” he said, voice low but certain. “Even if the world goes to hell, I’ll be here. You. Your family. No one touches you. Not ever.” I felt warmth spread in my chest, the kind that came from trust, bond, and something deeper than words. I nodded, resting my head back on his shoulder. “Promise me we’ll stay like this… just for a while.”

"This lifetime, the next, and any others that may come our way, I’ll always find you, and I will love you all over. And I promise, no matter what the future holds, I'll always be here beside you." "Mmmm, I like the sounds of that," she murmurs. "Good, because it’s a promise."

, " I will never" " What if I leave instead", " I will always come to find you; I would never leave; the only bride you'll unveil is me." He burst into laughter, "Keep dreaming kiddo, I'm not marrying you", " Eh?", she shouted, " But I promise to always protect you; when you feel lost, I'll be there; I'd never let harm come to you; I'll be that one person you need most as a friend, though, "he added and began to walk away.

I say firmly, trying to sound sure even though inside I’m trembling. “Promise?” Her eyes search mine, desperate for reassurance. I want to promise. I want to tell her that everything will be okay, that we’ll always have a roof over our heads, that she’ll always be safe. But I’ve learned not to make promises I can’t keep. Instead, I take a deep breath and say gently, “I promise I’ll always take care of you. No matter what.” She nods and goes back to her cereal. Such a simple answer satisfies her because she trusts me completely. She doesn't know that I feel like I'm drowning.
