Just Mercy Book Cover Novels & Stories

“Wayne, I was wrong! I’ll never lie to you again. I can’t lose my legs! “I’m sorry! I’ll apologize to you and to Jocelyn. Fine, I’ll give the house back to her. Please, let me go! I’ll leave the country immediately and behave myself. I won’t embarrass myself in front of you again! “Wayne, please let me go. I…” The truck drew closer and closer. Her pleas were swallowed by the deafening roar as black tires crushed down on her legs. All that remained were screams that tore through the sky. “Ahh! My legs! My legs!”

The book arrives on a Tuesday. Dominic isn't home when it comes. I'm at the foundation and the package is left on the doorstep. When I come home, I see it sitting there and I know immediately what it is. I pick it up carefully like it might break. The book is bound in a simple navy cover. The title is clear: Accountability and Transformation: Building Systems That Work. The author name is Dominic Marcello. My husband's name on the cover of a book.

And still I held back, shaking, my teeth hovering at her throat, knowing that one heartbeat more would damn us both. Somewhere, in a softer part of the world, a siren complained about a different man’s mistake. The sound dragged a thread through my hearing that caught on a nail of memory: the boy in the alley the night before, the way his breath had paused when mine continued, the way my mouth had refused to stop until my will had arrived late. I have learned too many sermons to pretend I don’t know the text of this one. Mercy is not nice. Mercy is breaking yourself where it matters to save someone else’s music.

Symbols moved subtly across its surface, shifting like living script. She placed it gently on the altar. “This book,” she said quietly, “doesn’t belong to anyone, It decides who can use it.” She rested both hands on the cover and closed her eyes. Slowly, she tried to open it but nothing happened. The book didn’t resist violently, it simply refused. The cover remained sealed, unmoving, as though her hands weren’t there at all. Ms. Joyce frowned. She tried again, murmuring words in an old language I didn’t recognize. The symbols on the cover glowed brighter for a moment, then dimmed.

But I knew some hill folk—especially a hoodoo man named Clive Hartley—who could read Latin, so I put it aside for later. I looked back into the box and of course, that’s when I found it. The book that’s caused all this trouble. The Way of Ah-Tzenul. Course, that’s not what’s printed on the cover. There’s a picture of some sorta tribal man squatting down with both hands raised to the sky etched into the cover and traced in silver. Otherwise, it’s a plain-looking book, all bound in pebbly black leather.

Vic opened the door for me, and the moment I sat comfortably, he pointed a finger to the box sitting on the corner of the passenger's seat. "Mr. Mori asked me to lend that to you." I gave him a questioning look before I slowly opened the lid of the box. He also walked to the driver's side and got in. "That's a jacket. He said you should put that on. He's afraid you might catch a cold." I glanced at him through the rearview mirror, and our eyes met. He was also observing me through that mirror. Somehow, I managed to smile before I spoke. "Please thank Mr. Mori for me. I indeed need this." I needed it to shield myself from shame.

He tilts his head with concern when I look back at him. “Just promise me.” I wipe the tears from my face. “Please.” “Okay, I promise won’t get mad.” He shakes his head, not understanding why he would need to promise that. I take the dragon scale gloves from Pan and carefully unwrap the leather strings holding the bag closed. I reach inside and grab the massive book by the spine. I wait a moment to prepare myself before I slide it out onto the crystal stand. I take a sharp breath when it comes into view. It’s just as beautiful as I remember. The cursed black leather cover has a sheen of iridescent purple when it hits the light. Instead of a leather binding on the edge, I sowed it with golden

There was no reason for her to shed tears, if anything, she was supposed to be happy. In surrender, she nodded and muttered for him to go ahead. He pulled his hands from his pockets and touched the book gently. A burning red colour emanated from his skin, and the emblem in front of the book burned with the same red. Once the colour burned out, he pulled his arm away from the book. But it looked as though the book had managed to drain the colour out of his face as well. Her keen eyes remained on his face, eager and itching ears anticipated the result and good news; that she was finally a free girl!

It's a free book. Please, give a chance to my other books on Goodnovel as well and follow me on I*. It's the same penname wellmindelysian. You can get updates about my new stories there. Thank you again.
