The Unkept Promise Novel Novels & Stories

"Isabelle is doing this on purpose. Just because they aren't biological siblings, she not only steals your things, she's even throwing herself at your fiance right in front of everyone!" A bitter sting welled up in my eyes as my romantic feelings of six years slowly died out. I responded in a soft and calm tone, "It's fine. Don't let it get to you. Since nothing has come out of it after all these years, it's about time for me to let go." Clara widened her eyes, staring at me in disbelief. "Karli, I've seen how much you love Douglas all these years. Y-you even got p-pregnant… Are you really p-planning on giving up just like that?"

"Besides, Mom, that boy carries Foster blood. He’s the future heir of the Foster Group. Would you really let him grow up outside? "I’ve made up my mind. No matter who opposes me, I’m bringing Chloe’s son home. I’ll raise him myself." My legs gave out, and I stumbled back to my room, collapsing onto the floor. My hand moved instinctively to my belly, to the small life growing inside me, unwanted, unloved. That morning, I’d been so full of joy before the doctor’s visit. I had never imagined my life could crumble in just one day. Tears streamed endlessly, unstoppable.

She looked up at me and asked me with innocence and smile lingerie on my lips and I thought of teasing her, "I think there are even some more guys, what do we do?" "You cannot betray me and leave me, okay?" She mumbled "Promise me. Promise me." And her pleading eyes met mine. "Sure, I promise!" I promised her to not leave her and that promise was not for just that moment but it was a promise for a lifetime. ❤️AUTHOR' NOTE❤️ ❤️ Hey everyone, hope you've enjoyed this chapter and do listen to that song which I've mentioned.

I refuse to cry here, in the middle of this restaurant, where anyone and everyone can see. How many promises has he made? How many has he actually kept? The answer stings more than I’m willing to admit. The flickering hope I had at the start of the evening has been extinguished, leaving behind only the cold reality of yet another broken promise. Why do I keep doing this to myself?

"If I hold onto it, the moon will help you find me. No matter how far apart we are." He had kissed her forehead and said, "We'll never be apart." She had made him promise anyway. "Promise me," she said, "that even if I do something to make you angry—even if I hurt you—you won't give up on me. Promise." "I promise," he had said. He had broken that promise. He had given up on her the moment he saw her kiss another man under the old oak tree. He hadn't asked questions. He hadn't listened to explanations. He had just walked away.

"And Anthony never breaks a promise, right?" His heart shattered. "I..." He couldn't muster a single word. Solace was right. He never broke a promise. "Don't go on making promises you can't keep. You'll be backed into a cave. Full of broken words you never truly meant. They will only come back to bite you in the future, you can't escape it. There's never an escape," Solace lectured. "Your promises to me weren't really promises, were they? Just scattered tasks you never planned to do. You never planned to stay with me the way you promised. You can't keep a promise. You never could. No one can. It's a word tossed in the air far too often to mean a single thing. Not the way it used to."

He assured himself that the pain in his heart would lessen only when there would be tears in her eyes. Only when she would be as broken as he was, he will be satisfied. "Right away, sir." Daisy bowed dramatically, pretending to tip off her imaginary hat. Even now she realized, she liked the annoyance that clouded his features at her unnecessary theatrics.

He looked at her and she immediately took that as a sign to step in. “Claire, we have to make sure grandmama is in good health first before everything else, okay? We’ll go on the beach trip once everything’s settled,” She assured her despite her not knowing if will even fall through. “You promise?” She gave both of them the puppy eyes. Kai licked his lips, briefly glancing at her before looking at their daughter with a smile on his face. “Promise, my love.” Then she looked at her mom who’s watching them, not knowing how to react.

“About the poison inside those people, why did they plant poison inside them if they can just kill them by hiring people with the killing promise? What happened? Carson asked. “Killing promise is one of the forbidden promises. There were only a few of us who still live and we need to hide ourselves from the higher ups. “ sadness can be seen on his face. “But you’re the one who is stronger than them, why don’t you guys just kill their promise and help the people?” He asked. “It’s not as easy as you think.
