The End Does Not Justify The Mean Novels & Stories

“True talk, but I still think that everybody deserves a second chance, don't you agree?” “Not in this case.” Idara said to Anastasia. “Some people are beyond redemption. They just have to learn the hard way.” “Take it from me; it really doesn't have to be so,” said Isioma. “Not every situation has to be an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth. As a matter of fact, the Bible says-” “Enough!” Idara snapped through gritted teeth. “There's nothing you'll both say that'll change my mind, because it's already made up. So let's just forget about this issue, 'cause it's a lost cause. Believe me.”

They questioned whether the ends justified the means and whether they were becoming what they had once fought against. It was a trying period for the heroes, as they navigated the delicate balance between power and responsibility, unity and discord.

After my older sister, Elise Sterling, is supposedly imprisoned for financial crimes, I become the target of retaliation from her enemies. I can't find a job and live under constant threats. Almost every morning, I find garbage left outside my door. At night, I come home to find my front door splattered with red paint, imitating blood. I break down and fall into depression. Over the next five years, I make three attempts to end my life. The last time, as I lay there after emptying the entire bottle of sleeping pills down my throat, waiting for everything to end, I suddenly hear my sister's frantic voice. "I only wanted to punish Leon! Why did you take it this far?" Her godbrother,

Gordon closed his eyes, and when he opened them again there was nothing left but indifference. He turned to Leon and bowed in apology. "Don Thorne, it was the Perrone family's failure to keep our own in line that brought about this tragedy. Anthony's crimes are beyond pardon. By the old family law, he will be stripped at once of all property and command of arms, struck from the Perrone line, and imprisoned for life at the quarry deep in the northern mountains, never to set foot outside the pit again." "Would that satisfy you?" he asked humbly.

"To further my interests. Kovac would have bled my company dry and put thousands of people on the street without remorse. I stopped it. The ends justify the means." He gazed out over the brilliant skyline. "This city, this world, is a twilight bargain, Miles. It's never about what's in the box. It's about what's hidden in the corners." Jonah fell silent. He had learned to use leverage, as promised. But the lesson had been more of a contagion than an education. He had glimpsed the wickedness that lay at the heart of Julian Clarkson's genius, and he knew with a chill of conviction that part of it was within him, too.

After that, he would be free from the Blackwoods' control and could take me far away from all of this. He said he never imagined I would really try to end my life. When he kicked down the door and saw me lying on the floor in the red dress, his entire world shattered. "I thought… I thought you were just angry with me. I didn't know you had lost all will to live," Damien said. I listened in silence, completely numb. His explanations felt meaningless against the weight of a lost life and two unborn children. I understood, then, that broken trust could never be repaired.

''I was just worried,'' I say, and I feel my tears ready to come out. ''Why are you worried? Is this because I made some meaningless moves on you? If this is it, let me explain it to you. They meant nothing to me. I was drunk, and I didn't know what I was doing. You thought that I had a thing for you? Do you think you are worth having a thing for? You are just a meaningless woman. Just like all the women I have known before you. Now get the fuck out of my office.'' He says it with an angry tone, and I feel my heart stop. Tears started coming out of my eyes, and I could feel my heart breaking. Did I do something wrong? Am I a meaningless thing? Is this how he has seen me? Just another girl I

"Fuck off." That was it. Any more, and it would be a waste of good words. My partner and his stupid idea. Crush her, he said. Yuck, all it did was disgust me more. Lauren couldn't believe how heartless I was. She got up and tried to grab my hand, but the gorgeous owner stopped her. "Stop embarrassing yourself. You heard the gentleman. Fuck. Off."

"You think I don't know why you married her? It's because her father could help you get back up on your feet, right? You used her, and now you want to play the devoted husband? Stop being so disgusting!" Her words hit Samuel right in the heart, revealing the darkest part of him to the light. He was so mad and embarrassed after it was pointed out that he grabbed Rachel's throat. "Shut up!" He roared with his eyes red, "You would sell anything for money...

You married a woman you did not love for money! I slept with ot

“You were the one who spread gossip when one of my employees harassed his subordinates.” Her face turned serious. “It’s not my fault nor it was a gossip. It was the truth!” she exclaimed. “And if given the chance, I will blurt to the whole world what he did, Mr. Calcifer. He deserved to rot in jail. I don't really like perverts.” I crossed my arms. “The end doesn't justify the means, Nathalia.” She bit her lower lip upon hearing her name. She doesn't like it. Even a bit.
