The Commitments Novels & Stories

"The team maintained position through Zurich. Phasing stands." "Rotterdam close," Edmund said. "Q1," I said. "No movement." George looked back to his notes. "Henderson." Alicia didn’t look down this time. "The commitment we made to her is moving," she said. "Catherine's committee will have it before the end of the month. It stays exactly where it belongs." Catherine made a note. Sat back. "The subsidiary formation," Edmund said. "Legal wants thirty minutes before end of week."

"I don't… get you. What's with Kath in this discussion?" He scoffed, twitched his neck sideways, glared a little on fixing his gaze back at me. "Drop the act. I know what's going on. But seriously, we aren't children anymore. Fine, I've once been a victim. But now, we've grown up enough to know that commitment is vital at this point in our lives," he uttered. I was so, so confused. What was he saying for goodness sake? Act? Victim? Commitment? Or wait, did Kath tell him about this silly game?

“Or that if they do, they’ll evolve within acceptable parameters.” She looked at him. “Do you think that’s possible?” “Yes,” he said. “But only if we define which parameters are public and which aren’t.” Evelyn leaned back, thinking. “I don’t want to perform certainty,” she said. “I want room to think.” Jesse replied, “Then we give them structure without surrendering direction.” They began separating what could be shared from what needed to remain internal. Public commitments: principles, frameworks, areas of focus. Private commitments: timelines, thresholds, non-negotiables.

"Miss Lily-white ,have a seat. " The only other woman in the room says in a neutral voice. From the shock of seeing the guy from the other night let's say morning, sitting on the other side of the table, I don't bother correcting her. I just sit obediently trying very hard to not meet eyes with him again. Goodness I hope he is not the CEO. I promised myself. I promised myself not another one in my life. But if he is and he probably is, I've already involved myself with him. This is bad! I already broke my own promise.

"I am saying it because the no-reserves commitment means I say what I know you know, so that the knowing is not only internal." Ernest looked at him across the sitting room—at the fire and the November evening and the man on the sofa who had said, without hesitation or qualification, that the direction was certain and the promise was larger. The no-reserves commitment had been made in the fourth year, but it was not a static thing. It was a living commitment, one that required renewal and reinforcement and the ongoing choice to say what you knew, even when the knowledge was already shared. Don was not telling Ernest something Ernest did not know. He was telling Ernest something Ernest alread

That vase had been something we’d constructed together, and our initials were carved into the base. Adrian rushed forward, gripping my arm. He brushed a hand over my cheek as if nothing else mattered. "It’s alright. I’ll buy you another one. Lauren, I know you’ve blamed yourself all this time for not being able to conceive. If you can’t, then we won’t. We’ll just adopt." He paused, then spoke carefully, "I have a friend abroad. His whole family died in an accident, leaving behind a two-year-old boy. Lauren, you’ll love him."

He leaned to her face completely mesmerized in her beautiful orbs. "Be mine till eternity.” A small smile appeared on her beautiful lips before throwing it towards him once again surprising and shocking him with her reply. Her reply broke his every control. "I am all yours till eternity." Promises is just an affirmation but in reality, It’s a commitment in a relationship to be with your one and only until your last breath.

And when he discovers you're gone," he said. "He already knows," I said. "The morning guard would have found the room empty." I looked at the lamp between us. "Which is why this conversation needs to conclude quickly." "Agreed," he said. He opened the document case. I have been in enough negotiation rooms from territorial gatherings to understand what an opened document case signaled. The shift from the discussion to the thing both parties had actually come to address. "Caden Voss wants a formal commitment," he said. "A committed alliance with terms

But no amount of blinking or deep breathing would change the facts. I didn’t want this. This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen. No first date. No butterflies. No love songs or sweet messages. Just a deal. A business transaction disguised as vows. “I don’t really have a choice. It’s all for the company,” I said in a barely audible voice as I sank beside her, shoulders drooping. “Haze, our family's company is in trouble—serious trouble. From what I picked up last night during dinner, the Fenwick family agreed to help us out financially, but there’s a catch. It benefits them too.

I breathed fast as he showered a little kiss on my jaw. His hand on my lower thigh moved a little bit higher and the growing anticipation made me feel intoxicated.
