A Lie That Ruined Me Chapter 028
❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈ Natalie ❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈Soft sunlight filtered through the curtains, brushing against my face and pulling a slow breath from me as my eyes opened.I stirred slowly, stretching just a little before a sharp sting at my neck forced me to stop. The pain wasn't sudden; it crept in, steady and deep, reminding me of something my mind hadn't fully caught up with yet.I exhaled, adjusting against the bed. Then came a knock.“Come in,” I said, my voice softer than usual.The door swung open as the nurse stepped inside."Good morning, Natalie,” she greeted with a warm smile. "How was your night? How are you feeling?”I returned the smile automatically. “I'm okay." She studied me briefly as though deciding whether to believe that, then stepped closer to check the IV.Only then did I notice what she was wearing; a simple nightwear, a bonnet loosely tied over her hair. Not a hospital uniform."You slept here last night?” I asked, frowning slightly.She nodd

Predictable. Manageable.Misunderstandings could be shaped, redirected, and contained in ways the truth never could, and as long as control remained in my hands, perception would follow accordingly.Still… the way she looked at me lingered longer than it should have.Not fear, not entirely, and it wasn't trust either; it was something sharper. Something that questioned.I pushed it aside. Irrelevant.My phone buzzed in my pocket, pulling my attention. Alexandre's name flashed across the screen as I brought it out and answered without hesitation.“I have something," he said."Go on.”"A cousin," he continued.I paused, not out of uncertainty but to consider how best to use the opportunity presented. “Secure him,” I said.There was a moment of silence on the other en

❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈ Natalie ❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈Darkness didn't leave all at once, it thinned, slowly. Like something pulling away in layers, revealing fragments of awareness I wasn't ready for.The first thing I noticed wasn't the pain…It was the silence. Like every sound in the room had been filtered,then came the faint sound of a steady beeping, muted and distant like I was underwater.Then came the weight, my body felt… wrong, heavy, too heavy. Like I was pinned down by something invisible.I tried to move, pain answered; not sharp, not sudden, just… there, deep and anchored.My breath hitched slightly as a dull pressure tightened around my neck.Something was wrong.My eyes opened slowly, the ceiling above me wasn't white. It wasn't a hospital bright or harsh or sterile.It was smooth, dim and softly lit.And familiar too.I blinked, trying to focus, my gaze shifting across the room; the walls, furniture, quiet luxury.The recognition came slowly… but it came.

┈◆┈┈◇┈┈•⊰⊱•┈◆┈◇┈┈ Leonardo ┈◆┈┈◇┈┈•⊰⊱•┈◆┈◇┈┈The noise didn't stop, even inside my house.Silence filled the walls, but it was quiet. It wasn't quiet. It was the kind of silence that came after chaos; heavy, restless, unfinished.My phone buzzed again. And again. And again.I didn't touch it at first. I already knew what I'd see, but eventually, I picked it up.Headlines flooded the screen.*Leonardo's secret lover shot**Fake relationship turns deadly?**Sources claim girlfriend was a cover-up**Was the shooting planned*My jaw tightened.Planned?They were getting bold… and reckless. And worse… people were starting to believe it.I locked the phone and dropped it on the table as the door swung open.“Brought someone…” Lex said as he stepped in.My cousin sister followed behind him before I could respond.“Hey," she greeted, her tone lighter than the situation allowed.I stood up walking towards her, "Palmira, it's been a while,” I said.“It has," she said, closing the d

┈◆┈┈◇┈┈•⊰⊱•┈◆┈◇┈┈ Leonardo ┈◆┈┈◇┈┈•⊰⊱•┈◆┈◇┈┈ Gunfire. The sound cracked through the air; sharp, wrong and final. My body moved before my mind caught up. I turned, my arm snapping around Natalie, dragging her down with me. I hit the ground hard, pulling her to my chest, shielding her as my eyes swept the room in a single precise motion. “Stay down," I muttered, voice low. People were screaming now, chair's scraping, glasses shattering. Chaos unfolding in every direction. But none of that mattered. "... nardo…” Her voice. Too soft. Too weak. Something in my chest tightened as I looked down. Blood. Too much of it. It spread fast, dark against the floor, seeping through my fingers as I pressed my hand to her neck. For a second, everything slowed… she had been shot and she was smiling. A faint, broken smile; but it was there. She was trying to comfort me and that broke something inside me. “Don't," I said sharply, tightened my grip, forcing pressure ag

❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈ Natalie ❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈We moved forward, his hand resting behind me.To everyone watching, it looked natural. Intimate, even.That was the goal.I stayed beside him, aware of every step, every glance, every whisper that followed us. I wasn't just Natalie anymore; I was ‘his’. Someone being assessed, measured, judged.We reached our table and sat. I adjusted in my seat, forcing my shoulders to relax even though my body refused to cooperate. My fingers curled tightly against each other beneath the table, trying to steady the nervous tremor running through me.The room was overwhelming. Not because of its size; but because of the people in it.Power. Wealth. Influence; All sat in this room. The kind of people who didn't just live in the world; they shaped it.And somehow, I was sitting among them.My gaze drifted across the room, scanning unfamiliar faces until it landed on something… familiar.Her.The woman from yesterday.She was seated across t
