Novel & Cerita Autumn Promise

Glancing at the blinking red light ahead, she replied casually, "Alright." She said it, but she didn’t believe it. After being let down so many times, she’d grown numb. She no longer expected Julian to keep any promise he made. After all, every time he said he’d come home to be with her, something always came up—either a last-minute emergency or a phone call that pulled him away halfway. Autumn wandered around aimlessly for a while, grabbed a bite to eat, and only then remembered she was supposed to head home. Just seeing Julian would remind her of everything between him and Luna. It made her sick to her stomach.

She held her hand out again, wiggling her fingers a bit closer to Autumn’s face. Autumn’s gaze sharpened as she took her sister’s hand, examining the ring critically. It was smaller than the engagement ring Ivan had given Iris in her past life, but Autumn merely shrugged, releasing Iris’s hand with a flick. “What a lovely promise ring,” Autumn remarked loudly, letting her voice carry across the room. “I remember mine was just as small. Hopefully, your engagement ring will be bigger than this?” She cast a pointed glance at Iris’s hand, ensuring all eyes were drawn to the modest diamond.

Eric looked down at her, his features softening just enough to look convincing. “I promise I never will,” he murmured. With that final word, he turned and walked out, disappearing into the dim hallway of the estate. Autumn remained standing by the bed, staring blankly at the empty doorway, a lingering sense of unease settling deep in her gut.

That is a promise. Much love as always, Celice

"I promise" "I promise"

Not a greeting. A promise.

"Oh, I can and I will. Do something stupid and ruin my plans and watch your brother's death and at the same time, I will kill you after and that isn't a threat, it's a promise!" Autumn gulped, what had she gotten herself into. She had never wanted to work for Mahalia but she didn't have a choice, she promised to do whatever to save her brother's life and now, she could only regret her decision and find a better alternative to save Jared but then again, Autumn realized there was no other alternative than seeking help from Mahalia. Mahalia stood up, walking towards Autumn and standing behind her. "You don't have to stain your hands with Xavier's blood Autumn, Jett will do that for us,"
