Love Beyond Death Novels & Stories

Dimly through the mists we can see the long arm of the mountains rising on our right. Our deceased are handled with love and care. Every man and woman present wears battle wary looks on their faces. A sadness that can’t be washed away. The air is heavy with sorrow and grief.

She arched an eyebrow in silent question, so he continued, “I mean it. Countess Loveland, my own lady, I’ll die here tonight knowing that I have never loved anyone as much as I love you.” More tears streamed down her face. “And I, my lord – keeper of my heart, my knight in shining armor – will leave this world knowing I’ve never felt a greater love. And if there is a Heaven beyond this earth, I know I’ll find you and we’ll be together, forever.” Reality crashed around him. This moment was the beginning of the end. In a few hours, they’d both die. Suddenly a thought popped into his head. They didn’t have to die. Not tonight. They weren’t tied up any longer. And… wasn’t he her hero?

Back then, she had cried and said to Viola, "Viola, can you stay with us forever? Chubbs said there's only darkness after we die." Viola had comforted her by saying, "Oh, silly girl.

he asked, with a hint of desperation. “No, I'm serious here. Do you really love me as you say you do?” I questioned, my heart pounding hard against my chest. “C'mon babe, you have no reason to doubt my undying love for you. I know I have been a horrible person in the past, but now I'm here to right all those wrongs. I would never leave you for anyone else, I promise,” Liam's words pierced deep into my heart. I've never felt so genuinely loved, so much cherished and spoiled. I felt the sincerity in words; a promise that would never be broken.

"Honey, do you want some soup? I just want to thank you for taking care of Tasha and me for the past seven years. I know it wasn't easy. Now, I can finally stand again. Don't worry. From now on, I'll love you with my whole life." If I had heard this before, I would have been moved to tears. Now, all I felt was a sharp, bitter ache and deep irony. Her act was flawless.
