Promise Me Not Book Novels & Stories

"She's only staying for two days. She'll definitely move out before the wedding." I said nothing. I only looked at him coldly. He stepped closer and lowered his voice, trying to coax me. "I promise nothing will happen between Abbie and me. In my eyes, she is practically one of the guys. I am not attracted to her." The moment he said that, Abbie punched him lightly in the arm, pretending to be offended. "Who are you not attracted to?" she snapped. "You big idiot. Other than that face of yours, what do you even have going for you?"

“What can I do, I can’t break the contract. My boss is quite capable of firing me. “I commented. “ Make up an excuse, tell another organizer about...! “You don't know my boss and the rule is clear, if I don't comply with the contract, I'll be penalized... “I said, remembering Dereck's cold look. “And you know what, I have no reason to run away. I didn’t do anything wrong!” “Luke, I think it's too risky... “Thomas looked at me, wondering what he was going to do. “He's going to have to swallow me and I'm going to give him the best wedding he's ever had! “I took another sip of coffee decidedly. “It won't bother you?

Shining with an emotion I couldn’t name. Then he reached for my hand. Pressed a kiss against my knuckles. And finally said, “I promise.” I wanted to believe him. God help me, I wanted to. But something deep inside me whispered that promises were only as strong as the people making them. And for the first time in seven years… I wasn’t sure Damian believed his own. Hours later, Elena and Noah slept peacefully. But Damian remained awake. Sitting alone in the darkness. His phone illuminated his face. A single message glowed on the screen.

I was partially relieved to see no injuries, but they might have been hidden somewhere beneath— “Are you all right, little one?” He grabbed my hand, lifting it gently and kissing my knuckles. I bit my trembling lip and nodded. He leaned closer and brushed my tears with his thumbs. Then he cupped my face with his hands and locked his eyes on me. “Don't ever do that again.” His brows knitted, his voice strangled and hoarse. “I forbid you from leaving me.” Covering myself with fur, I rose to sit and stretched my lips into a soft smile. “I promise, I will never leave you.” My voice trembled with every note.

She is still a kid, so she definitely does not know anything about life. "Daddy always gets us something whenever he promises us... Uncle Max always does whatever he promised us to do, and the ones he never promised us, he never did them. So, I think promise is a strong thing that validates things," She shrugs, and I slowly nod my head. "So, do you mean your daddy never goes back on his words?" I ask her for some reason I do not understand. "Yes... He has never gone back on his words," She replies to me, and I nod my head. I don't know why I'm suddenly scared, but something keeps telling me that something is wrong somewhere, although I can't picture what exactly it is.

“I know you and understand that you are just a kid, you might even forget many things when you grow up, but I know you will never forget this day… The day that your parents and Pack members were burned to death. Thus, I also know that you will never forget what I just told you. But my child, you will have to promise me something… Never reject him when you find him. No matter what, you must protect and be there for him always. And listen, even if you meet hundreds of Mates in the future but without the name Ashton, then you will have to know that they are not your Promise Mate.” The queen's mother said to the little boy, who was just looking at her as if he could understand what the queen was

I was the simple-minded fool that General Adelaide Knight had pulled from a pile of corpses on the battlefield. The poison had been too severe. I survived, but my mind never fully recovered. When people hit me or cursed at me, all I ever did was stare blankly and smile. Adelaide took pity on me. She brought me into her home and refused to let anyone mistreat me. She once said, "Reed may be a fool, but he's my whole life." And like a fool, I believed her. For five years, I followed her everywhere like a shadow. Then Fabian Ortega returned to the capital. He looked so much like me that we could almost have been brothers. He'd been poisoned, and none of the doctors knew how to save him. Hi

“You stay. You follow my rules as far as they concern your safety. You don’t blow this open in the press. You don’t run. At the end of that year, we sit down and decide whether we burn the paper, rewrite it, or add pages.” “It’s not an annulment,” I say. “No,” he says. “It’s a deal. I don’t do promises I can’t keep. But I will give you my word on this: in a year, if you still want out, I will not force you to stay.” My chest feels too tight. “That’s not legally binding,” I say because I have to push. He smiles, slow. “You’ve seen what I do to people who break my *informal* promises,” he says. “Imagine what I’m willing to do for the ones I make to my wife.”

"Lia, Madeline got hurt while moving some props. I need to take her to the hospital, so I don't think I can make the concert today." "Let's just wait for the next one. I heard they're playing in Jeston later this year. I'll get us front-row seats. I promise I won't stand you up again." I wasn't the least bit surprised. For the 101st time, he still hadn't shown up.

Because I wasn’t sure if they could. But I nodded. “I promise.”
