Promises Are Meant To Be Broken Novels & Stories

“I told you I wanted to know everything about you, remember? I think I told you I meant every word I said. I meant every promise I made you.” “Promises are meant to be broken, Zachary,” I said acidly. “I waited fourteen years for you to keep your promise of ever coming back.” It was true. A big part of me was hurt that it took him long enough to come back into my life. That part stopped believing he ever would. “I am one guy who would die first before I break a promise, baby girl,” he said. He took a deep, labored breath. “You don’t know how difficult my life had been, so don’t judge me.”

“Because you broke your promise, Marcus!! You broke your fucking promise.” I knew exactly what he was talking about and he knew I knew. “You promised that you would give them a chance. You promised to welcome them into this family.” I could barely look into his piercing gaze not to talk of moving my lips. “A man who doesn't keep his promises is not fit to run an organization like mine. I'd happily hand over management to your sisters before I give up my last breath.”

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

And somehow, that promise doesn’t scare me. The world should fear Damian Bernardi. But me? I never have. Because I know, I’m the only thing he will never destroy. End of Unspoken Promises…. Please let me know what you think….. Book Two - Unspoken Truths - Coming Soon

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. If you haven't read NOW AND FOREVER, Dario and Catalina's story, or TILL DEATH DO US PART, Alejandro and Mia's story, I hope you will. The next book in the Brutal Vows series is QUEENS AND MONSTERS, Rei and Jasmine's story.

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 asked. “Give me the truth." And then Sofia held out her little finger. I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. I taught her about the little finger promise when she was 4 years old and I was 8. We promised never to lie to each other. A little finger promise could never be broken. She remembered this. I didn't deserve that gesture, I broke my promise. But not anymore. Sofia deserved the truth that I had denied her for so many years, even though in the end I would lose her for good.

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.]

“A momentary lapse in judgment followed by a lifetime commitment?” “No!” Barbara protested again, feeling outnumbered yet grounded in her truth. “I never planned this! I simply lost control.” “And you think this is how you find stability?” Jefferson asked quietly but with hurt threading through his words. His disappointment hung around them like fog. “You already experienced one broken marriage; you really want to put yourself into another?” Barbara bristled at their unyielding scrutiny; they were navigating a landscape sketched by grief and uncertainty that she alone inhabited. “I’m not seeking stability with Ethan,” she asserted firmly. “But I also can’t deny what this may mean for two liv

I couldn't see his expression since I was deep down into my memory lane to notice his tender gaze. "You know, we'd promised each other that we'd marry when we were old. It might sound silly for you but I'd actually held onto that promise for the most part of my life." I smiled ruefully, feeling that familiar ache burn in my chest that came everytime I thought of him. What I didn't tell Adrian was that some part of me was still holding onto that promise, and some part of me was still upset that I broke the other promise. That often left me confused because I liked Adrian kissing me. I scolded myself for thinking like a wanton woman and shook off my thoughts. For a moment, I wondered if he sti
