Promises Unkept Novels & Stories

I have thought about this, in the weeks since Lucian said tomorrow and I said yes in the way I said yes to things that I have already decided before they are asked, about what the same words mean when they are said a second time with everything that happened between the first time and now. They mean the same thing. They mean it more completely. A promise kept is not the same as a promise made. A promise kept is a promise made with evidence. The evidence is the year behind us, the kitchen island at two in the morning and the board meeting and the hospital and the shareholder meeting and the corner chair and the sun hat in the wardrobe and all of the other things, accumulated and present, and

he said while disconnecting the call. "Swara, I know after this you would hate me more but I have no other ways left to keep you with me. I recorded the video when I kissed you. I knew your gold digger step mother would definitely throw you out of your house after watching that video. And then you will have no other option left. You will come to me. I am the one who broke you and I will be the one to fix you," Sanskar said to himself. ♡♡♡

“Your deceased friend’s baby. Single women are rarely approved. Financial instability is frowned upon.” My hands shake. “How did you” “I have resources,” he says simply. “And you’ve been careless.” Tears burn my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. “I was trying to save her,” I whisper. “I made a promise.” He studies me for a long moment, something unreadable flickering behind his eyes. “Promises,” he says quietly, “are dangerous things.” He stands, retrieves a slim folder from the desk, and walks toward me. Each step feels deliberate, measured, final.

“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.”

"Aww my babe you won't lose us .'' *End of flashback* I've been told never to make promises that I cannot keep and for the first time in a long time I've made a promise that I cannot keep and the reason for not keeping the promise is because something happened that was bad it was out of my control so whatever happens will happen but what I need to do is fly to get back to the land of the living and get out of limbo because I've got life to do. ©KCMmuoe

How he could think I would get back together with Dereck was pathetic and revolting. I was in my office, sending an email to one of my clients, the sample of invitations she had requested and how she would choose, giving her opinion. I finished sending the email and received a message on my cell phone. “Good afternoon, Luke, Dereck and I have decided to cancel the wedding. Later he will go to sign the withdrawal documentation. Thank you for everything." I read the message and sighed, concluding that they had really broken up, that's why I had no more news from the couple and they both didn't answer me.

Her thumb hovered over the words like she could smudge them off the glass. Come get her, Maya. Alone. No wolves, no Alpha, no gold eyes. You've got till dark. You know I always keep my word. — D He did. That was the one thing nobody in this house full of monsters understood about Dane. He kept his word. Three years ago he'd promised her she would never get away, and she'd spent every day since proving him wrong, and now here he was in Lindy's kitchen making a liar of her the easy way. Through someone she loved.

“Promise me you would.” “I promise,” I agreed and hung up before his next word. I adjusted on the couch, set to see the program. Wait. Did I just promise Veer? Damn. Now I have to do it or face the consequences of him ghosting me for a year. That was our pact. If any of us break a promise to each other, the other will ghost you for a full year. I can’t possibly survive without talking to Veer for a year. Nah!

I reached for him, but he'd already turned away. The door slammed shut, leaving me alone among scattered petals. I crossed to the fireplace and fed the ruined white roses to the flames. The petals curled, blackened, and turned to ash, like our love. I thought Ryder would let it go after my outright refusal, that he might reconsider. After all, we'd been unshakable until then. We were fated mates, blessed by the Moon Goddess. But two days later, a courier delivered an unmarked package. I opened it to find the pregnancy test results from the infirmary.

-- END OF FLASHBACK -- Tears welled up in my eyes as I recalled the times when Kevin and I were still together. 'I'm sad, and a little bit upset right now, Kev.' I mumble in my mind and scoffs. 'Why didn't you come to me? Why didn't you come? Why didn't you show up?' I thought promises must be fulfilled. But then, promises are meant to be broken. I wanted to change that statement. Because, promises shouldn't be meant to be broken, since its an obligation of everyone that they should be fulfilled. "Right! If you can't keep your promise to me, then I will keep my promise to you. Wait for me, I will find you. I will go to you." I say in a whisper before I finally close my eyes to sleep.
