Promises Unkept Novels & Stories

Softer, to Liam, I said, “Joe is excited about this. I’m not the only one who will get hurt if you don’t keep your promises.” “I have no intention of ever hurting Joe, or you, ever again.” “It’s easy to make promises. Much harder to keep them.” “Just keep your eyes on me,” Liam said, inching closer. I leaned closer too, nearing the fence. I wasn’t quite ready to cross it yet, but I was getting closer. “Watch me every second if you have to. I will never disappoint you again.” Such pretty words. My foolish heart wanted to believe so much, but my head remembered things that my heart had forgotten.

if only they knew that he was not one to keep to his words and that his promises to them were all fake. There was doubt about his crafty ways and lofty lies but one thing was sure, if he made a promise to them, united them to support him and then he refused to keep his part of the bargain, then they would come in unity and destroy him and whatever he owned. I was also glad that it was never going to happen because no matter what he did and how much he tried to hurt me, what I was certain of was that there was going to be a way out of his trap. He would not have his way and that would make him never show his face at the pack again..

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

We were in this together, bound by a love that transcended any temptations. "I'm sorry, but we must decline your offer," I finally mustered the words, my voice steady but resolute. "Our love and the values we hold dear are not for sale. We have fought too hard and sacrificed too much to be swayed by promises of power." The woman's smile wavered, disappointment flickering across her features. "Very well," she said, her voice tinged with a hint of regret. "But remember, the Enigma Society is always watching. Should you ever change your mind, we will be waiting."

As far as he knew, this was the first time that Zenios had broken his promise! Another first in his life for Charlotte! “Second Uncle, I know what you’re thinking. You think I’m not a person who goes back on his words, you can make fun of me and even look down on me, but it doesn’t matter. I just want to take it back this time. I’m sorry, but I won’t keep this promise of mine!” ‘It’s because I can’t afford to keep it! If a person can’t even keep his beloved woman by his side, what’s the point of keeping all the other promises in life?’

“Of course I will. And we won’t stop until it’s all beautiful again.I’ll help you clean it, and we’ll plant more beautiful memories after we clean the withered ones. Not even just a single one left.” That night, I feel at ease. With him. He made me feel that I’m in peace. Even in just a few minutes, he made me feel like I have everything. He made me feel like there’s no problem, he made me feel so great. And I’m keeping that to myself, all of what he said. But I won’t take that as a promise. As promises are just words. And I can’t handle another fake promise, another broken promise. I’m done with that. I will just look and wait for actions. And I hope so, that he’ll make it happen.

The other clan plan to hunt him down like a dog. This was a survival of the finest. That when reality hit her. They are all by themselves. ''These women were sent here to kill me by the other clans. They have infected them with a poison that can only be spread by contact. '' Ondo, I have come to be your wife; I won't betray you as they did.'' '' How can you be so sure?'' Ondo said '' Because I have made a promise to your mother to take care of you.'' She replies

"Lia, Madeline got hurt while moving some props. I need to take her to the hospital, so I don't think I can make the concert today." "Let's just wait for the next one. I heard they're playing in Jeston later this year. I'll get us front-row seats. I promise I won't stand you up again." I wasn't the least bit surprised. For the 101st time, he still hadn't shown up. Calmly, I typed out my response. "Don't bother, Nicholas. I'm moving abroad for studies. After today, we won't have anything to do with each other anymore."

A promise he broke. Vincent sighed and looked outside to where Alice and Simon seemed to be still talking. Simon was showing Alice something on his phone, and she laughed again. His face narrowed as he placed his hand on his hips with tensing shoulders. He wanted to punch Simon’s face. As Vincent stared intensely, his thoughts went back to when he made the promise to be with her. They would be together according to his promise. He didn't know what he was thinking, making such a pointless promise because he would not keep that promise. He broke it and hoped he would fix his mistake, but he was too late. Alice was moving on, and it was right in front of his eyes.

"Will you still want me at dinosaur days?" "Tommy would riot if you didn't show." "That's not what I asked." I merge onto the parkway. Traffic's lighter now. Most people are already home for dinner. "You're always invited." I keep my eyes on the road. "Company or no company. Inheritance or no inheritance. None of that changes this." "Promise?" The word catches me off guard. When did we stop believing each other's promises? When did we start needing them to be explicit? "Promise," I say.
