Trust None Novels & Stories

I fished it out of my purse and noticed that an unknown number was calling me. I answered the call and pressed the phone to my ear. "Hello," I answered. There was silence on the other end. "Hello." I tried again, but there was still no answer. The call was immediately disconnected. Weird. Maybe it was the wrong number. I got a message just then. I checked my inbox and opened the most recent chat. I read the message written in bold capital letters. TRUST IS LIKE AN ERA. IT GETS SMALLER WITH EVERY MISTAKE MADE.

“That’s what he said. He just said it, but what if it’s not true?” “What do you mean not true?” “Maybe he’s only saying he doesn’t know anything about you, but the truth is he already knows your entire identity, he already knows about you and your children.” She chuckled and continued, “Someone like Mr. Tyler West, who has a lot of money and connections, do you think he would just trust anyone he doesn’t know? For me, I don’t think so. If he is prone to trusting easily and does not engage in thoughtful consideration, he will be unable to elevate the company’s sales market or build their company and his company into multi-billion dollar corporations.”

“Then why would he—” Frank’s mouth twitched, just the corner lifting. “Men get greedy.” “You don’t actually believe that.” Frank didn’t answer right away. Instead he reached for the whiskey glass I had left on the table. “I’ve been doing this a long time,” he said finally. “Trust doesn’t mean anything. When money and power start talking, you’d be surprised what people are capable of.” Something about the way he said it made the back of my neck prickle. “Does Marco know you think this?”

Chapter 120 — Trust Is Earned Dominic Costello Trust isn’t a gift; it’s an achievement. Noah trusts his uncle too much and Atlas trusts David, but I smell trouble. After seeing the documents regarding Mr. Blake, and David’s expression, something sparked inside me, and inside Lawson too. “I don’t trust this guy.”

“Oh, yes. But I wanted to be sure it was you before parting with it.” “Why would you trust me? I don't even know you.” “In this world, Mr. Martin . . . Was it Mr. Martin? “Yes, that's John Carlos Martin.” “. . . there's nobody you can trust . . . Nobody. Knowing you're an American, by your accent and a journalist, makes me more comfortable leaving it to you.” “How about if you're a hoax . . . how can I be sure?” “You have nothing to lose. Be sure to be there.”

I squeezed her hand, grateful. “I trusted him,” I said, the words trembling. “At least, I thought I did. And now I don’t know what to believe. I keep telling myself I know who he is, that he’s not capable of what they’re saying, but then I see those headlines, and it’s like the whole world is daring me to be a fool.” Sabine nodded slowly. “Trust doesn’t mean pretending something didn’t happen. It means holding on to what you know about someone even when everything else tries to convince you otherwise. If there’s anyone who deserves that from you, it’s Aaron.”

“Perfectly.” I rolled my eyes. “Seriously? Is all of this even necessary?” I asked. “Noah is a long time friend. I trust him.” Beta Trent grunted. “The last time I checked, you didn’t have any friends in this shit hole and this isn’t a question of trust. Men like him shouldn’t be touching what belongs to the Lycan King!”

Date = 13 April From one fire into the next. In the same day. Place = San Francisco (UCSF Medical Center) I just need out of here. POV – Aria Trust. If you look it up in a dictionary, it will probably read something like a firm belief in the reliability of someone. A single word that’s difficult to achieve — whether earning it or giving it. And once it’s lost, it’s probably the hardest thing to get back. Trust. It’s like hugging a cactus while balancing on a cliff made of jello. Impossible, stupid, and probably painful.

"I'm troubled." He told her the entire matter. Lai felt that it was easy. "You say you trust this grandpa. Then you trust him. Bjt blind trust is not good. Sometimes the enemy is in our midst so you don't have any final result till you try to know. Just find it. You wouldn't feel bad later if you missed something now." "I know. I just don't want to doubt my family. It's like I'm doubtful of everyone. It's paranoid."

I don’t tell him this though. If I decide to do this hopefully she’ll understand. “You won’t have to. We’ll just keep it between us.” He shrugs. “And when the time comes then we’ll tell her.” I don’t trust Race. Yet I’m interested in how this will end. “There’s no ‘we’.” I’ll be the one to tell her anything. My mind drift and I catch it. “ My real concern here is.. why has the king’s vizier lost his master?”
