The Forty Rules Of Love Book Novels & Stories

The lashes kept coming as the rules poured out each one more brutal than the last. Then Lord Lucifer’s voice rose above the rest: “The tenth and most deadly rule!” The room fell silent except for Vincenzo’s ragged breathing. “Love… is prohibited. Women are to be treated like slaves and puppets. Falling in love is like swimming in acid. Crying over a woman… feeling guilty about a woman… is forbidden. The woman receives the most hurt.” “The wages of love is death”. Alan screamed it with the monsters…. Lord Lucifer leaned close, blood dripping from his chest wound.

I continued. “That’s not fair, I object!!” He blurted. “Oh please refer to rule number one, which you just agreed, that you should always make me happy.” I replied showing him my jotter. “Rule number three which is the most important rule.. as quoted from the movie NO OTHER WOMAN, don’t you dare fall in love with me,” I added. “Are you serious? That’s not going to be a problem.” He replied confidently. “Don’t underestimate my charm.” I said, placing my hands below my chin and looking at him with my puppy eyes.

Then the memories of how Orion had thrown words into my face resurfaces, but I had to buried it deep down and work on getting myself to be better. If I was to keep on feeding on his words, then I might do something bad to myself.

I wished he could see that too. “What do you want?” he asked. His thumb brushed against my cheek, sending shivers down my spine. I shook again. “I want you… to make love to me,” I whispered, my voice barely audible, but I knew he heard every word. He let out a soft laugh, shaking his head slightly. “Oh, little girl…” He raised four fingers in front of me, my eyes widening in confusion. “There are four things you need to know before we go any further. Four rules.”

Rule 1: No falling in love" That came first and it made Ophelia hissed. “Who would fall in love with a cold jerk like him?” I must have been crazy for even admiring his looks. She complained. Rule 2: “No intimate relations" It made her smile, Remembering they almost had that in the Sinclair’s mansion she can't help but smile. It felt good though she said still smiling foolishly. Rule 3: “Public affection display must be perfectly acted" Well about that I already passed with his parents she said feeling boastful.

he asked, his voice booming across the room. "You've broken the rules, defied the odds, and disrespected our culture. What makes you think you can just do as you please?"he asked angrily. I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts. "Love knows no bounds, no rules, no culture," I said, my voice steady. "When you find the one, or in this case, the ones, who make you feel whole, you do what it takes to be with them. Odds, rules, culture – they all become irrelevant."I answered

I commented. Eun-woo ignored me as he continued, “Rule 4: Don’t approach me just because you wanted to; Rule 3: Don’t try to talk to me if it’s not something educational-related; Rule 2: Don’t act as you know me personally; And most importantly, Rule 1: Never let anyone we’re step-siblings no matter what.” “Whoa… look who’s talking,” I mocked him. “Aren’t you the one doing as you pleased between the two of us?”

Damn, I have to come up with some rules. "Yeah, sure." He shrugs, acting as if my fine lines are nothing. "Rule one," he reads aloud as he writes. "Don't fall in love with me." I snort. "I don't think that will be a problem." Love, what a stupid notion. "Yeah, that's what they all say," he replies seriously. I give him a double take. All? He really is an asshole. "No sleeping in the same bed," I point at him. He reluctantly writes it down.
