She might not have been directly involved in the money laundering her boss did for the Westies, but she sure as hell knew what she was getting into. The same guy had a wife and a kid at home, and she didn’t seem to mind playing the homewrecker. And had the balls to get her boyfriend bailed out of jail. Doesn’t sound like an innocent woman to me.” I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest. “Right, blame the woman. Classic. The guy cheats on his family, and you’re pinning the whole thing on her? Like she’s the one who made vows and broke them.” He leaned back, a lazy, smug grin tugging at his lips. “Oh, I’m not saying he’s not a piece o

I agreed with most of the murders, but after discovering that one of the possible pedophiles who had been arrested, in fact having been mistaken for another totally different man, I began to have a little more respect for the phrase: "Innocent, until proven otherwise." But I didn't say anything out loud. Most of the time I kept myself as I did at that moment, in silence, just rambling about my life and my choices, about everything that had led me to that point. Those were times when I was at peace. I took refuge within myself to accept that reality, and live with it.

"I may have had something to do with that. Father was asking who the new child in the nursery was and all the commotion all night that kept waking him. I didn't want to tell him, but you can't lie to Father, he can smell one from a mile off, so I told him everything. I'm sorry." he raised pleading eyes up to Roderick, begging for forgiveness. Roderick's side and shook his head at his naive sibling

She hurriedly removed her chain and put it around the child's neck and after kissing her child one last time she gave the child to Mohan. "Run and don't turn back." Mohan ran from there to save the innocent life in his arms. After sending her baby she turned towards the door and wiping her tears she stood straight to face those monsters. Few minutes later Mohan heard a gunshot. He flinched but seeing an innocent life in his arms he again started running to save the baby. When he was near to cross the Mansion's gate he heard a thundering voice from behind. "STOP RIGHT THERE!" Mohan froze on his feet. Gathering all his courage he turned and saw that one of the killers was shouting on one of th

"It's not a joke. I'm serious about how I feel for you. This is my sincerity to you and I promise you that I'm not going to let you down if you forgive me this once." "So what you want me to believe now is that you actually like me and you don't want me to get hurt?" He nodded. "I figured out that's how I feel for you, even when I try to deny myself so many times. I think I fell for your innocence." Innocence? What is he talking about? There's no hint of innocence in me at all. The only thing I have ever had in my life is hatred and resentment. I don't think there's any innocence. Just because I'm getting bullied by anyone, it's because I decide to stay low and focus on getting my life toget

Innocent. Excuse number three: I was hoping to surprise Mason in the office. Romantic nonsense—maybe I thought he was working late. And excuse number four—the most humiliating—crying.

I held my breath as Mason stepped further into the room. I watched his feet walk around the desk. He didn’t speak. Didn’t pause. Just reached for something—probably the lamp, because the next second, darkness swallowed the room again.

“She touches me without fear. She reaches for me without hesitation. She exists alongside me without judgment. Why? Why does she not fear me? Why does she not understand I want to erase her? Why does she not know I believe she should not exist?” “Because she is innocent. Because she only knows love. Because she has never experienced betrayal or cruelty or darkness wanting to destroy her.” Little Aria smiled. “She trusts because she has only known trustworthy beings. She reaches because she has only known beings who protect. She exists without judgment because she has only known beings who accept. That innocence is what existence protects. That trust is what life nurtures. That love is what s

She looked trough the documents and felt her heart accelerating. ACE MARTINEZ SENTENCED FOR ONE YEAR FOR BEATING UP ELDERS AND PROFITING NON ESSENTIAL SOURCES . This couldn't be true right? Oh boy how she was wrong. She threw the papers on the floor and ran upstairs . This wasn't true ! She's lying ... Ace wouldn't hit someone who was older . He's not the type of person just do that !

I thought but kept it to myself as at present I was more interested in listening to him. "You already know about my past and I am not going to repeat it. You know when she left me I was shattered. My trust was broken I was broken beyond repair. I closed the door of my heart for everyone and I promised myself that I would not fall into the trap of innocence ever again because everything is just fake. There is nothing like innocence in this world. But you prove me wrong. You made me realize that innocent still exist in this world. You made me realize that not everyone is like her.

“Innocent? So that also makes you innocent? Oh! Fuck your innocence! ” “Ryo, without evidence, my son is innocent.” Dini pulled Sachin into a hug, wiping the blood with his arms, twisting the facts into lies. “Well, cheers to your definition of fucking innocence.” Without giving them a chance to react, he gave Sachin a twin slap. “Ryo!!!” Dini screamed, only to get kicked on the shoulder, and before he could sit to protect his son, he was kicked again, flat on the floor, where he belonged.
