Promises Are Broken Quotes Novels & Stories

In that moment, promises hung in the air, unspoken but understood. "I promise," I said, my voice filled with sincerity and determination. It was a promise to fight for her, for us, and to never repeat the mistakes of the past. The weight of my commitment lay heavy on my shoulders, but it was a burden I was willing to bear for the chance to mend what was broken and build a future together.

I try to cut her off. "Nonsense, hum? Nonsense? I am true to my point." She pointed at me, "Fine! If you think of me as a bitch in my loved ones life then it is okay. But what you did do? Promised me and later on broke it. Woah!! I am so impressed. At least I am not like you who breaks other's promises. And not to mention the promise of life long is broked within few years." She tries to stop to tears. "I should applaud for you.... celebrate your success na!" She started clapping and I was too numb to say anything. "Like this," She was clapping and laughing like a mad. I didn't understand what she was saying. Which promise?

“No. It changes you and perhaps the way you see the world, but it doesn’t jade you. The person that jaded me is me.” He leaned back, folding his arms across his chest, and peered over the top of his Ray-Bans. “I don’t believe you. Something jaded you.” A small, dry laugh left me and I looked away. “Sleep with enough men who promise forever to a woman then go away on business while she’s sitting at home rocking a baby to sleep and you see how hollow love is.

As her words broke his heart, he realized he had been breaking all the promises he had made to her. “Please! Don’t break the promise,” as she focused on the promise again, Aramis faintly nodded. “I won’t,” he whispered in defeat.

Burying my face in my arm, I closed my eyes and let the tears fall. “Let me help. Let me do something…please…” I shook my head. “Lo único que puedes hacer por mí es dejarme ir.” [The only thing you can do for me is to let me go.] His hand froze on my back, and I could feel it clench slightly. “No sé si puedo prometer eso.” [I don’t know if I can promise that.] Smiling and chuckling this time, I lifted my head up and looked back at the dancers twirling to the music.“No cumples las promesas de todos modos.” [You don’t keep promises anyways.]

But then my Mom wouldn't know the main issue if she didn't say anything. "Uhmm, I would say promises are easy to make but they are hard to keep. Also, there are times promises need to be broken. Those are desperate times." Theodora answered fluently. Her tone showed she had gone through a lot. "What? Did you make a promise with anyone. A male friend, perhaps?" My Mom asked playfully, wiggling her brows. "No, I did not." I replied immediately. How could I do what my Mom was implying when my so-called mate hated me.

(I believed in you, I believed in us) you hurt my heart, you broke my soul, you failed to keep your promises. Yes, (…) Don't worry, what breaks easily, mends easily...

Congratulations! Congratulations, I applaud you (I applaud you) oh... Uh... Oh... Great liar, destruction is always beneath your feet... I thought for once that you were different.

Shameless man. It's not as if I had any plans to spread my legs for anyone else, but the simple act of being asked to make such a promise was a big deal. Rominic was right about that — I never break my promises, no matter what. It's a shackle that has always bound me, which is precisely why I never give out such promises relentlessly. Of course, there have been times where I've coincidentally or accidentally broken a promise, but the key point is that it's never been an intentional betrayal.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out the ring—the one he had given me, the one that symbolized promises broken. Adrian’s eyes followed my every move. When I handed him the ring, his fingers brushed against mine, and for a moment, I felt a flicker of the past. But that moment quickly died.
