Promises And Vows Novels & Stories

Terms and conditions Sharp and emotionless the contract on the table was immaculately written in black ink on white paper. The difference between Sophia and being saved or disaster was a few signatures. Just as he did in every boardroom, Adrian kept a close eye on her. As composed as ever he stated It's all standard. “We tie the knot. We pretend to be married. And we leave without any problems after a year. “ When Sophia saw the contract her eyes remained fixed. “And what happens if one of us violates the rules?”

“Help? He was a loose end, just like you.” I glanced at the door, then back at her. “You don’t have to do this. Whatever they’re paying you, my father can double it. Just let me get him out of here. He still might make it if we move fast.” “Double it?” She stepped closer, voice dripping with mock pity. “Money doesn’t buy loyalty to the Swan. Your father couldn’t save your mother, and he sure as hell can’t save you. That alliance with the Volkov’s? It’s going to get you both buried. But don’t worry. I’ll make sure the message gets sent loud and clear with you dead.”

“I, Chandler Andrew Parker take you Millie Wilson as my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish you for the rest of my life, for better or for worse… till death do us part.” After Chandler placed the ring on her finger, it was her time to say her vow. “I, Millie Wilson take you Chandler Andrew Parker to be my husband…” She paused, swallowing hard and looking at Chandler. Her hand was trembling as she held the ring on the guy’s hand. “…and I will cherish you…” She wasn’t able to finish her sentence anymore, when a loud bang echoed inside the church.

The sound of rain swallowed her words, carrying them into the night — a quiet promise, and a warning. The dawn would come again. And this time, it wouldn’t break her. It would break them.

“Thank you, Mom.” Rossa nodded. Not far from there, Ronald stood silently, watching. But Livia did not leave just yet. She stepped toward the man once more. “I have done as you asked,” she said softly, yet firmly. “Now you must keep your promise. Never hurt my mother again.” Ronald gave a short nod. A promise. But an empty one. And Livia knew it. She would never truly believe him. Without looking back, Livia walked away. Leaving the old church behind.

We all knew that despite the love and unions within our individual couples, we’d need to unite as one to take on the future. Thank you for reading BOUND BY A PROMISE.

Invitations stopped. Adrian could still feel the weight of that funeral suit. He had stood at the graveside with his hands clenched so hard his nails cut his palms. He had shaken hands with men who had smiled in his father’s face while helping destroy him. He made a pact then. That day, he made himself a promise: He would never be like his father. He would never give anyone the chance to strike at his softness. He would never believe in words without proof. Even now, years later, the vow was carved into him like stone.

He shook his head, scooting closer to her. “Please promise me you’ll understand,” She sniffed and looked away. “I will understand you the same way you’ve understood me,” He placed his hand on top of hers. “Kai…” She licked her lips, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Cale stiffened. "We have to write them," Elion said. "For Saturday." "I don't know what a vow is," Cale said. "It's a promise." "I know the definition. But the... the content. What do people promise?" "They promise to love each other," Elion said. "To stay together. Sickness and health. Richer or poorer." "We are poor," Cale noted. "And sick." "So we're halfway there." Cale looked at the bubbles. He caught one on his finger. It popped.

John:"I promise to encourage your compassion, because that is what makes you unique and wonderful. I promise to help shoulder our challenges, for there is nothing we cannot face if we stand together. I promise to be your partner in all things, not possessing you, but working with you as a part of the whole. Lastly, I promise to you perfect love and perfect trust, for one lifetime with you could never be enough. This is my sacred vow to you, my equal in all things.” Olivia:: “You know me better than anyone else in this world and somehow still you manage to love me. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I’m the one who gets to marr
