The Promise Novels & Stories

I search his eyes for a second then my eyes go down to his lips that are so close to mine. I gulp, looking up in his black orbs. “ Promise? ” I am still suspicious, but I think there is no harm in trusting him for once, even if manipulating and hurting people is his job. He chuckles breathily and shakes his head before saying. “ I promise. ”

I’m in absolute tears as I whisper with my throat clogged with emotions, “You promise?” Roman’s eyes shines as he replies, “I promise”

I was the simple-minded fool that General Adelaide Knight had pulled from a pile of corpses on the battlefield. The poison had been too severe. I survived, but my mind never fully recovered. When people hit me or cursed at me, all I ever did was stare blankly and smile. Adelaide took pity on me. She brought me into her home and refused to let anyone mistreat me. She once said, "Reed may be a fool, but he's my whole life." And like a fool, I believed her. For five years, I followed her everywhere like a shadow. Then Fabian Ortega returned to the capital. He looked so much like me that we could almost have been brothers. He'd been poisoned, and none of the doctors knew how to save him. Hi

It is the choice to hope, even when the night is dark. Kael looked around at the faces of his loved ones, his heart full. "I have learned that the promise is not about achieving a goal. It is about the journey. It is about the love we share along the way. It is about the lives we touch and the hope we inspire. It is about the light we carry in our hearts and share with the world." The promise fulfilled is not a destination. It is a journey. It is the love that carries us forward. It is the hope that never fades. It is the light that never dies.

Sol asked me, and I nodded. "Can you tell me about them?" I shook my head, and he let it go. "Maybe I will, one day, but not tonight. I promise," I told him. I felt him kiss the top of my head as he whispered, "Take your time. I'm always waiting for you." ###

I’m certainly not proposing you this way or this soon despite how much I want to (just so you know, I’m dead serious about proposing to you someday, just not today) This is a promise ring (I believe that’s what they call these days) I give you this ring to say that I’m so in love with you and that I promise to make you the happiest person in the world. I know you don’t love me yet but that’s okay. You said you trust me with your life and I promise that I’ll do anything to keep that trust. I just hope you don’t lose faith in me, ever. I’ve made a lot of promises to you over the years since our childhood. I’ve kept every one of them and I intend to keep them all – new and old.

They asked them questions and found out things that the academy is hiding.

Yuna patted her back and continued, “I know you’re scared, but after you get to your new home, you won’t have to worry about anyone hurting you. Would it make you feel better if I promised?” Yuna stuck a pinky out in front of her. Sun was confused, she hadn’t socialized very much with others and didn’t know what a pinky promise was. Yuna hooked her pinky onto Sun’s pinky and said, “This is called a pinky promise. People hook their pinky’s like this to mark that they will never break the promise.” Sun had a tough shell, and she wasn’t easily swayed by Yuna’s promise.

But that had nothing to do with us anymore. Christopher pulled me closer, his chin resting lightly on my head as he whispered, "If we can experience this snowfall together, then the snow in our hair would make it seem as if we've grown old together, wouldn't it?" He kissed my forehead softly. Standing there, wrapped in warmth and love, I realized that happiness began with learning to cherish what was right in front of one.

Congrats on finally getting your wish! When I refreshed the page, the post had already vanished. I put my phone down, a slow smile spreading across my face. 'Guess you know homewreckers don't shine too well in the spotlight.'
