Disobedience Romane & Geschichten

What happened to all the decency lessons that had been ingrained into her before she could even start talking well? "But sister?" Mary called out in protest. "I wouldn't repeat myself, Mary. Do as the young man says. Or do you need another seminar on disobedience?" Sister Martha warned her, and she shook her head. "No sister." "What did the father say about disobedience?"

Abigail watched her daughter then as she approached them and stood beside Shane, she doesn’t need a soothsayer to know what’s happening, she quickly look at Shane with tears in her eyes, shaking her head softly, she said, “this will not work, it can’t work. This is highly against the rule.” “Abigail, I know and I know what you must be thinking but I want you to know, I don’t want to take advantage of your daughter.” “I know but please, you have to release your hold on her, society will never be in support.” “Have I always been the type to care about what society thinks?”

But did I let that stop me? “You want obedience,” I continued, my voice coming out forced and shaky. “Not loyalty. Loyalty end up having cracks, but obedience doesn’t.” His eyes lightened and the smile was back. “You’re smarter than I expected.”

Their gifts filled an entire room. Nora was so jealous that she became furious. Every day, she tried to scare me by whispering in my ear. "Rebecca, you have no idea, do you? Theodore kills without a second thought. If he gets upset, he takes it out on the people around him. You're walking right into a lion's den! If you ask me, you should give up. But we can't reject his family's engagement offer either… How about this? I'll sacrifice myself and go to your place..."

He’d been staring at my cleavage through the rearview mirror and nearly ran a red light. “Does that mean all your ‘new’ boys disobeyed you?” The way Callum says, “disobeyed you” is so animated, I can’t help but laugh out loud. Chuckle. It's like he can’t imagine anyone not hanging on my every word, let alone disobeying those words. “You could say that, Callum.” He looks visibly irritated at this news. “Once in my control, many of my new boys thought they could bend rules.” I gently run the tips of my fingernails down Callum’s cheek.

Gwen Michael, Keith and Ingrid entered my room later. Micheal smiled at me, but I could not smile back. I felt ashamed. I felt belittled. The thought that I would need help getting around broke me. I hated being dependent, and I hated being a liability, but the ISA had made my nightmares a reality. All my life, I had trained and disciplined myself to defend myself and others, to be stronger and to be enough. I hated it and never listened when asked to back down. I always ignored orders because I wanted to help and prove myself. Now, look at me. Marcus never wanted me to do anything, to begin with, and with what the humans have done, I will have no choice but to obey when they ask me to hide

She was born free from her mother’s womb, so why should her freedom be sold while she is a complete human being? I refuse!! ... The square was filled with a sound she had never known before. Something she had never experienced. Overlapping voices… Harsh orders… And merciless gazes. Completely different from the warmth of her village. She stood in a long line with the others, but something inside her refused this reality. This is not her place. She had promised that child to keep her safe. She must not break her promise! ... When the guards were distracted for a moment, she moved.

“I have no other choice.” “Yes, you do,” argued Luke. “Didn’t you tell me it works out for that Mario guy and your ex?” “That’s because Faith is stubborn to the point of absurdity.” Luke chuckled. “And you don’t think Autumn is stubborn too? Hell, she went through a lesbian psychopath in high school and nearly died because of detergent and still dated you back then although breaking up with you could save her some trouble.
