The Promised Neverland Don Novels & Stories

He asked still standing there. "Thank you for today. For showing me that place and," I played with the pendant around my neck, "For giving me this. It's really beautiful." "Can I get a promise in return for that gift?" He asked— looking me in the eyes. "Sure," I told him with a smile. I waited for him to say his next words. He opened his mouth, "Promise me you'll never leave me." I have never been so sure of a promise before. I have never been so fast in making a promise before. Because before I knew I had already stepped towards him and said those words, "I promise. I promise I won't ever leave you." ----

“You still there?” “Yeah.” She sighed disgruntled by my choice. “I just don’t want you to waste one of the best times of your life.” “I’m not Becca. I promise. And when we graduate and I move out west to be with you then I’ll let you play matchmaker for me, deal?” “Do you promise?” she asked questionably. And as much as I wanted to take back my offer I knew if I was ever going to let her drop this I couldn’t.

I embraced my new life and left the wreckage of the past behind. … Clement and I traveled to Finholm to see the northern lights. While I was mesmerized by the shimmering sky, he leaned over and pecked my cheek. Perhaps it was the aurora's glow, but when he looked at me, his eyes were dazzling and faintly blue, drawing me in. … When we returned from our honeymoon, the head of a kickboxing club, whom I hadn't seen in forever, reached out to me. She told me the international tournament I had given up on was about to start again, and she didn't want my talent to go to waste.

"He's not his father. I see that now. He loves you, Ella. Really loves you. Don't let the past destroy what you have." "Dad—" "Promise me." His voice was urgent. "Promise me you'll be happy. Promise me you won't spend your life running from the things that scare you. Promise me you'll live." Ella's tears were falling now, streaming down her cheeks, dripping onto the white sheets. "I promise," she whispered. William smiled—a real smile, the kind she'd never seen on his face before. "That's my girl." He closed his eyes. His chest rose. Fell. Rose again.

He had been standing in the living room, listening as Nathaniel and Serena said goodbye. Serena had the same question. She frowned as she turned to Nathaniel. “I promised them something I will stop at nothing to give,” Nathaniel calmly answered. “I will never break that promise.” The twins stared at Sterling and nodded at the same time, their smiles and eyes full of hope. “What did you promise them?” Serena asked. “We can’t tell you, Mommy,” Sebastian said. “It might get jinxed.” Alisa nodded. Nathaniel coughed into his fist. “We really should go, Mr. Vander. We don’t want to arrive late in Velmon. I promise to take care of Serena.”

My children will live a care free life because no one will be after their heads. They won't feel like outcast,as though they belong to the outer world. "Thank you, Luciano. I love you, I love you so much."I sobbed and wrapped my hands around him so tightly. Never in my life did I ever imagine that I would find someone who would be able to fulfil his/her promises because whenever I believed in a promise, I ended up being disappointed. I remember when I was only a little girl at the age of seven, my mother promised me that she would never leave me but…she never came back to me and we only reunited when I came to the South as a captive.

The baby slept soundly in the crib. From behind, Leonard gently embraced me. "What's on your mind?" I turned around with a smile. "Just thinking about how lucky I am." He lowered his head and kissed my forehead, his voice oozing with tenderness. "It's not because you're lucky, but because you deserve this. Karli, I promise to make you the happiest woman for the rest of our lives." In the end, love and compassion healed all wounds.

Even the underwear he was wearing now was the one I bought. "What a pity," Rebecca said, shaking her head as she held Mom's hand. "When we were young, we always said we'd become in-laws one day. We even joked about arranging a childhood engagement for the two of them!" She glanced at me, her tone warm. "I've always liked Gerry. She's such a lovely lady. She's beautiful, kind, and cheerful…" I lowered my gaze, afraid to make a sound. I was terrified that if I slipped up for even a moment, my tears would start falling one by one.

I don't know if it was a dream or it did happen really when I felt a another wave of tingles run through me as a pair of lips touched my forehead and I heard a soft whisper. "I promise you won't ever cry again, my Eve. I've finally found you and I'll never let you go. Whatever the reason behind your tears are, I'll make sure to find out and this will be the last time they fall from your beautiful eyes. I'll keep my promise I made to you all those years ago.

"She's only staying for two days. She'll definitely move out before the wedding." I said nothing. I only looked at him coldly. He stepped closer and lowered his voice, trying to coax me. "I promise nothing will happen between Abbie and me. In my eyes, she is practically one of the guys. I am not attracted to her." The moment he said that, Abbie punched him lightly in the arm, pretending to be offended. "Who are you not attracted to?" she snapped. "You big idiot. Other than that face of yours, what do you even have going for you?"
