The Promise Love Novels & Stories

His body was on the floor as two men held him in place with a gun to the back of his head. Fear rose within me as I watched David move across the room towards me. His steps were purposeful and every inch of my body tensed in anticipation of his words. I could feel my heart racing a million miles per hour, and I was sure that he could hear it too. When he finally reached me, his face mere inches from mine, he paused. “The only reason I haven’t killed you is because I made a promise to my wife. However, I won’t forget this. Come morning, that girl will be gone, and you will start working to make amends with me.”

"But not impossible right? Let's give it a try and I promise to-" "You don't need to promise me anything. I will go back to my parents' house and there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop me." she stated adamantly. "We are having a baby, Roshni. Is this the life you want for the baby when he/she comes into this world? I promise I will not give you a chance to complain about me again, please just trust me, okay?" I pleaded. I promised myself to do everything I could to make her change her decision.

"I'll prove my love to you, Christopher. If you're happy with something I do, give me a star. When you fill up a whole mason jar with paper stars, you'll be the one to propose to me." He held the jar and cried tears of joy like a child who'd gotten the best birthday present of his life. He wouldn't stop making promises, both to me and himself.

He was getting under my skin and I didn’t want to have him know it. “We don’t know if I am pregnant yet and there is no way in hell that you are going to tell me what to do” I retorted. “I said that you are not going back to your old pack simply because it is not safe there. If you really feel like you don’t want to be here, then go somewhere else, just not there. I won’t be able to live if I find out that something might have happened to you and I am unable to protect you. After all, all those years ago when you were born and I was only seven years old, I made a promise that I will protect you with my life and I do not intend on breaking that promise any time soon” Rowan said.

I reached for him, but he'd already turned away. The door slammed shut, leaving me alone among scattered petals. I crossed to the fireplace and fed the ruined white roses to the flames. The petals curled, blackened, and turned to ash, like our love. I thought Ryder would let it go after my outright refusal, that he might reconsider. After all, we'd been unshakable until then. We were fated mates, blessed by the Moon Goddess. But two days later, a courier delivered an unmarked package. I opened it to find the pregnancy test results from the infirmary.

He was the perfect solution to my problems, but there was only one condition he asked before promising me his ‘I do. “Don’t fall for me,” was his unbreakable rule. I laughed at him that day, thinking how easy it is to follow his stupid rule. I’m in love with my ex-fiance, his younger brother Calvin, so what could possibly go wrong? I agreed without hesitation, seeing him as the ticket out of my life’s predicament. Like a raging wave, the realization of my vow’s weight crashed on me. How can I fulfill my promise, when even in the darkness and danger that surrounds him, I’m hauled like a moth to a flame?

He said. “OMG, Chris is here!!!” Maria said while jumping up and down. Valeriana laughed, “Do you like him that much?” She asked. “More than my life! He’s the love of my life!!!” Maria said while touching the left side of her chest. Valeriana giggled. Valeriana

"From what I know, Mr. Foster’s legal wife is Ms. Shaw. They registered their marriage in Rosemont six years ago. Divorce isn’t possible there. That alone proves how strong their bond must be." My mind flashed back to the month Adrian had been away "on business" in Rosemont. When he returned, he had surprised me with my favorite dark chocolate. "I missed you so much, Lauren. Next time, I’ll take you to Rosemont myself and buy you the whole chocolate shop if you want." So that had been their honeymoon. He never fulfilled his promises to me. On the other hand, he and Chloe already had a son over two years old. Cold numbness consumed me. I was a joke. A fool. I couldn’t even remember how I made

Seth looked down at me, "nobody, just somebody at the studio needing me to come down." I nodded looking down. "Seth, I just want you to know I love you." Walking up to me Seth tilted my chin up, "I promise you I'm not out here fucking around. I've got business to handle and then I'm coming back home to you. I know you have a hard time trusting me but I'm being honest with you. I love you K and I'm not about to lose you over any bullshit" I nodded at I'm hugging him, "I'll be waiting up until you get home." He kissed my forehead before walking out the door leaving me alone to eat my burger.

Orlando and I used to dream about a future—kids, laughter, a life that felt whole. Now, I wouldn't even make it to spring. Wouldn't see the roses bloom in the manor's garden. Would he care? Mourn me?
