Promises Meant To Be Broken Novels & Stories

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

The moment it closed, the photo frame that had hung in the entryway for eight years shook loose and crashed onto the tile floor, shattering into pieces. I crouched down and stared at the broken glass. That was our photo from our first date in Sicily. Dominic had knelt on the beach in front of a cross and sworn that every year on this day, no matter what happened, he'd ignore everything else and spend our anniversary with me alone. But ever since Mia appeared, he'd even forgotten what day it was. I threw the broken glass into the trash without expression. The glass had cut through our faces in the photo. I didn't hesitate. I tossed it all out with the garbage.

He scoffed, clenching and unclenching his fists in fury. "I'll pay it back. I swear." I promised, making sure he could see the honesty in my eyes. "I'm willing to pay interest as well. Help me out, just this once." He paused, studying my expression for a moment. Just when I hoped, he would cave in, he scoffed again. "Fuck off." He snapped, going back to sit in his armchair and diving into his work again. "Elijah, please." I tried again. "It's for my daughter's surgery. You hate me, I get it but she's innocent in all this. Please, don't punish her because of me."

“Here, wrap your pinky around mine. “Maddie instructs. “That’s it. And now we shake.“ “What is this for exactly?“ “The idea is that if you break the promise, you break your pinky.“ Maddie informs me. “Hence, pinky promise.” It breaks? I look up at her at the violent idea. It’s surprising to hear. “Does it? “ I’m not even questioning how it does- maybe magic? “I’ve never broken a promise, and my pinky’s still okay. So probably. “Maddie smiles. “Here, “Maddie holds her finger with mine, and we shake. “Now it’s a promise. I will do all I can to get you away from that dreadful Mykhol. “

I chuckled, “Okay fine I promise.” We connected our pink fingers together for a few seconds and pulled away. But we all knew promises were meant to be broken.

I said naively and with an assuring smile. "Then promise me one thing," he said with a serious voice. "What is that, come on already we've made all possible promises. What again could it be now," I said sounding a bit worried. "Okay, just promise me that....that you'll never stop loving me, or hate me. I'm sorry, please forgive me. Is just that I...I...just promise you'll never stay mad at me for anything or hate me if I do mess up, that you'll forgive me," he begged as he held my two hands tightly in between his.

I raised my hand, stopping Anjali from scolding her. "Deal. " I said as she gave me her pinky finger, I raised my brow in confusion. She asked, "Promise?" Oh my goodness! I am gonna melt right away, "Promise, " I let out, laughing. "So can we go now?" She questions excitedly. But before I could reply, Anjali interrupts, "Not now, baby, he's here to talk about something important to Mama, " She explains. She flashes a sad look, "Don't worry, angel, I always keep my promise, " I stated, her face soon lifts in a grin.

he said tenderly. Damn that tenderness that catches my heart on fire every damn time he uses it! “And if you break it, what then?” I ask curiously. “I never break my promises” he said solemnly. “Everyone breaks them at some point, even if they didn’t mean to” I said back immediately, thinking back to mom’s promise to stay with me until she’s very old and about a hundred years old. Something flashes behind his eyes, but he’s quick to cover it up before he says in a sweet tone “Come on Hope, I’ve already admired your courage and strong will so far, don’t tell me you’re afraid of a little dinner with me now”

"I want you to hold on and believe in promises again, but I'm also afraid that I might break your trust on promises even more, because I'm not one hundred percent sure if I can really make my promises come true." I blinked couple times. It's true, I don't believe in promises anymore. I don't trust promises, I believe they'll be broken. There are always broken promises. I don't want to increase the pain I feel because of broken promises. "I know you don't want me to make a promise. And I told you I won't, I won't make a promise if you don't want me to." I stared intently in his eyes. I know he's telling the truth. And I also remember that koment when I told him not to make a promise to me. Wh

When that lie cracked, it cracked loud. And everyone saw just how ruthless he was with Ada. He was caught dragging her to a hospital for an abortion, then watched as she unraveled and got locked in a psych ward. Normally, stuff like that would've been buried. Not this time. It had to be Steven. He wanted Bella to see. To know he regretted everything. To prove he was fixing his mess. But what good was it? Bella let out a bitter laugh, her eyes dull.
