Novel & Cerita My Loyalty Lies With You

She simply knew that those words, so cruel and falsely inspiring, were for her. "That's why I prefer loyalty. Being loyal is an instinct. You can love me or hate me, but you will still protect me," Banks murmured.

Sydney smirked, arms crossed like she was already rehearsing her victory. I let my breath out slowly, shaping each word like a blade hidden in silk. “I’ve learned that loyalty is not soft. It isn’t quiet. It isn’t simple. Loyalty is hard. It’s jagged. It asks for pieces of you, and sometimes it takes more than it gives. But when you choose it—when you stay—it defines you.” Nico’s hand squeezed mine where it rested at my side. He was radiant, convinced this was about him, about us. That I was painting him as the man worth staying for.

I don’t disagree. Because loyalty is a bloody mess. And someone’s about to bleed.

Every word felt like a needle jabbing into my ears. Jeffrey's smirk only deepened, his voice rising so everyone could hear. "Kieran, Melanie is just too kind. She took pity on you and gave you a job. But you really think you're someone important?" He continued, "Leeching off her must've spoiled you, huh? You're still here trying to act like a big shot? I'm telling you right now to pack your things and get out!"

“But strength isn’t just about power. It’s about loyalty, about knowing who to trust. And I don’t trust you.” Before I could respond, Leo stepped in front of me, his back to Clara as he faced me. His hands cupped my face, and he looked into my eyes with a fierce determination. “I trust you,” he said, his voice steady and filled with conviction. “And that’s all that matters.” I felt tears prick at my eyes, and I nodded, swallowing back the lump in my throat. “Thank you,” I whispered, my voice barely audible.

Dinara’s hand tightened on her fork, her knuckles white. I leaned forward, dropping my voice low, intimate, like we were sharing some sacred truth. “And I believed him. I still do. Loyalty is everything. Without loyalty, there is no family. Without loyalty, there is no us.” I smiled at both of them, but it wasn’t warmth. It was sharp. Deadly. The room was suffocating. I set my glass down and laced my fingers together. “So, tell me,” I asked softly, eyes flicking between the two of them, “what do the two of you think? Is loyalty still sacred… or has it become negotiable these days?”

"Leave my personal interests to me. I'm dropping this call. You have to decide now." "I don't know why you're doing this, Rowald. Maybe we have the same reasons but promise me, you'll be with Maverick when this is all over." I sighed gratefully. "Leave it on me." I stood up after throwing the cellphone on the table then went into the bathroom. I took off my clothes and thought of the crying woman while I'm the shower. I held the ouroboros tattoo on my neck. "My loyalty is in El Draconem. Forever and ever."

" I so want to be on my brother's side and be his biggest champion because he's got so much trust in me he trusts me more than he trusts you . " "He does doesn't rain and it hurts me because I've proven time and time again that I'm very loyal to him and I would not waiver no matter what the circumstances are even now I still want to fight because there's fire in me that wants to keep on trying that wants to keep on believing that we are meant to be and that whatever we're going through is just to strengthen us as a couple and the unit."

“Not from me.” Loyalty. Loyalty is what I need right now. And Giovanni gives it without question, without hesitation. And for that, I’m grateful. But deep down, the storm rages on. Because I know loyalty can’t fix what’s broken inside me.

And for some strange reason, I found myself wanting to believe him, but years of distrust and resentment held me back. He continued, with his voice barely above a whisper, “But being the monster I am, I never showed her that love. I may be all things bad, but one thing I can never be is disloyal. If I'm loyal to you, then come rain or shine, I will never go astray or choose someone else, no matter the circumstances. And all my life, ever since I was merely a child, I have been loyal only to one person…”
