A Lie That Ruined Me

A Lie That Ruined Me

Who knew a single lie could ruin a life this much? Natalie Rossi, a scholarship student from a poor background pretends to be rich to survive among Italy's elites. But when she names Leonardo Moretti as her boyfriend during a party game, the lie escalates into something more dangerous. Because Leonardo is real, and isn't a man whose name can be used easily without consequences. Overnight, Natalie becomes a target meant to be cleared off. Hunted, shamed and stripped of everything she has worked for, Natalie watches her world crumble until an unseen hand begins to shield her from chaos. Will Natalie pay the full price of her lies, or accept the hand reaching for her… and everything that comes with it?

A few had attended private gatherings where information had been discussed under the assumption that everyone present understood the consequences of repeating it.None of them had direct access, which meant someone who did was feeding them.The doorbell rang before Andrei entered.“Anything?" I asked."Not yet. Alexandre is checking the financial records separately, and ice

I turned to him, his expression told me this wasn't routine business.“What is it?" Without a word he handed me a tablet, a breaking news broadcast filled the screen:NATIONAL HEALTH AUTHORITIES ISSUE PUBLIC WARNING OVER ILLEGAL DRUG KNOWN AS OBLIVIONThe anchor continued speaking:“*Hospitals across three cities have reported multiple emergency admissions linked to an unidentified substance known as Oblivion. Authorities believe the drug is being distributed through organized criminal networks and are urging citizens to avoid any unidentified recreational substance while investigations continue.*”I watched silently, another headline appeared: POLICE FORM SPECIAL TASK FORCE TO TRACE ORIGIN OF OBLIVIONI lowered the tablet, “how much?"

❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈ Natalie ❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈By the second morning, I had convinced myself that yesterday had simply been an introduction.Today would be different. Today someone would explain my responsibilities, assign me an actual work and prove that Leonardo had not place me into one of the country's biggest corporations simply to occupy an expensive office.A knock interrupted my thoughts. “Come in." Andrei entered carrying a thin black folder. "Good morning, Miss Rossi,” he greeted.“Please tell me you're here to explain what am supposed to be doing,” I said, furious."I am.”He took a step forward and placed the folder on my desk before stepping back."This contains your schedule for the next four weeks.”I picked it up hastily, and opened it immediately; board meeting, executive luncheon, foundation gala, charity fundraiser, press conference, quarterly shareholders meeting.I looked up, “That's it?" "Yes," he replied.I narrowed my gaze, “I meant my work,"

I nodded when it seemed expected and said nothing otherwise, every now and then I caught someone looking at me.some of them looked curious while others looked irritated.A woman look

For a brief moment she simply stared at me like she was trying to determine whether I was bluffing or whether I actually knew the answer already. Then she laughed. It sounded forced. “You really came all the way here to accuse me of leaking your contract?" I didn't answer. She shook her head and reached for her wine glass. "That's insane.” Still, I said nothing while the silence lingered. It always amazed me how uncomfortable silence made people. Eventually she looked away first. “You haven't changed,” she muttered. "No.” A bitter smile appeared on her lips. "Still convinced you're always right.” "No," I replied and that made her look at me. “I'm convinced facts matter." The apartment became quiet again. Linda folded her arms, "then present your facts.” I leaned back slightly. "You were with me the day I initiated the contract.

Articles were appearing faster than anyone could keep track of them.MORETTI FIRES BACK AF FHE CONTRACT SCANDALWHAT DID LEONARDO MRAN BY “DO YOUR JOBS"?IS THE RELATIONSHIP REAL AFTER ALL?A humorless smile touched my lips as I scrolled silently.Exactly as planned, people had stopped discussing the leaked contract and started discussing uncertainty instead.
