The Lie Of Forever Novels & Stories

"When I handed Jil over to you, you promised to love and protect her. Have you forgotten? Only a few years in, and this is what we get! We may be old, but we're not dead!" Harvey dared not cry out in pain and only grunted softly every time the spatula struck. He wanted to explain himself, only to open his mouth and close it again. "Just go. We don't want you getting hurt and blaming it on us later." Holding the spatula, Dad was about to close the door when Harvey, who had stayed silent the whole time, lunged forward and jammed his hand in the frame. "Please, let me talk to Jilian.

Why did you break the lease? [Are you still mad at me because of that mute girl? I’ve already explained everything to you! Why are you being so aggressive? [Look, I’ll pay the rent myself. Please come back, okay? [I’ve been in a coma for three years. I can’t control my emotions. Can you forgive me just once more? [Stop testing me, Beatrix. I promise I’ll marry you. Is that enough?]

she said, holding a chuckle. “Whatever this thing is, this feeling you’re holding onto, let it be real. Let it lead somewhere good. Somewhere lasting. Let it lead to forever, alright?" "Forever?” she asked, raising an eyebrow while sipping her coffee. “What are you talking about?" "Jeez, you’ve really gone full-on American, haven’t you? You can’t even catch a classic Filipino joke anymore."Nelly rolled her eyes in mock exasperation, a playful grin tugging at her lips.

Even if we hadn't replaced them and tricked you back to kill you, they would've brought you home anyway and forced you to donate your heart to Rhea!" "You and Rhea are a match!" I didn't want to believe it. Forcing me to donate my heart would still be murder.

My love for you grows everyday.” “Martin…..” Her eyes become teary and spark happiness ‘No matter what happened to me, you need to remember, I LOVE YOU and I promise to love you FOREVER!’ Martin’s words stayed in his head, he still kept it a secret about his condition, and didn't want to make Stephanie worried. ------ Hong Kong

I ran my hand along the wall, the dresser, the bedpost, just to make sure it was all real. When everyone went to bed, Emily stayed behind with me in the living room. We sat in silence for a while, just listening to the ticking clock. “You know,” she said quietly, “you’re stronger than you think.” I smiled faintly. “Maybe. Or maybe I just got tired of being broken.” She looked at me, her eyes warm. “Either way, you made it.” Deep down, something still lingered.

“Please, Montez, I had nothing to do with this. Don’t throw me away over lies.” He stared down at her, his words sharp enough to carve scars. “I don’t want your pleas. I don’t want your tears. You’re worthless to me now. Now get out of my house.” “No,” she sobbed, clutching at his hand. “Don’t do this. You promised me forever.
