BENEATH THE LIES BREAKFAST
008 Just then, I became tense. I could feel the hairs on my hands standing on end. With all the strength I could muster, I pushed the figure in front of me and turned to run away. Once I got outside, I closed the door and ran down the hallway. When I saw that I had reached a safe distance from the room, I paused to catch my breath. “Who was that?” I asked myself. The voice wasn’t Stanley’s—I remembered his voice, and he didn’t sound like that. That voice belonged to someone else, I knew it for sure. Just as I began sprinting again on my way back to my own room, my eyes locked onto a door—I had finally found what I was searching for. The name was boldly displayed at the top of the door: Candy. “Could this be her room?” I thought. Without hesitation, I walked toward the door and knocked. After the first knock, there was no reply on the other side. I knocked again, this time harder; still, no response. Just as I was about to knock for the third time, the door swung open—and beh

009 He picked up the spoon and began eating. I gasped in shock because I was expecting a different reaction from him. A smile pulled at my lips afterward, and I turned to stare at Candy, who was also in shock. She stared back at me, clenched her jaw, and gritted her teeth tightly as she trembled. Her eyes spoke rather than her mouth: I'll make sure you're done for. I smirked at her, folded my arms, and then walked away, heading back to the kitchen. As I arrived at the kitchen, I couldn't help but chuckle. From Candy's expression, it seemed she had given me the wrong information about Mr. Stanley’s favorite dishes. Yet, he had eaten what I made. What a shock that must have been for her, I thought to myself as I leaned against the tiled counter, feeling accomplished. But just as I thought I could enjoy my peace, Candy stormed in. She grabbed my hair and yanked it hard. I let out a slight whimper from the pain, but she didn’t stop—she pulled even harder. "You think you'r

010 "No, Mr. Stanley, it's not what you're thinking!" I stuttered. "Candy's lying! She told me you asked for your room to be cleaned by me, and that's what I did. I only cleaned your room—nothing else!" "Lies! All you do is lie!" Candy spat as she stormed toward me. Just as she raised her hand to slap me, another hand caught hers mid-air. I turned toward the source of the interruption and froze. My eyes widened in shock. Charles. Why would he help me? He cast me a quick glance before flinging Candy’s hand away. Then, turning to Stanley, he said firmly, "She didn’t do it." Stanley, who had been seething moments ago, hesitated. His gaze darkened as he asked, "How do you know she’s not the one who took it?" Charles smirked. "Because I’m a people person." "Really?" Candy scoffed, folding her arms. "That’s your excuse for defending a thief?" Charles ignored her, but Stanley shot Candy a sharp glare, silencing her. She huffed and stepped back into place. "Also," Charles co

011 Candy’s eyes darted wildly between Stanley and Charles as the laptop screen flickered, casting a pale glow across the room. The tension in the air was suffocating, thick with anticipation. I could hear the maids shifting uneasily, their whispers now reduced to shallow breaths as they waited for the inevitable truth to be revealed. Candy, however, wasn’t going down without a fight. "Wait!" she suddenly blurted, stepping forward and forcing a nervous laugh. "Mr. Stanley, there’s no need for this. It’s just a misunderstanding! Why rely on some footage when we all saw her go into your room?" Her voice trembled slightly, betraying the confidence she tried so hard to maintain. Stanley didn’t even spare her a glance. His attention remained on Charles, who was already maneuvering through the footage. The cursor hovered over a folder labeled Security—Room 306, and with one click, the file opened. Candy’s panic grew. "You don’t need to see it!" she insisted, voice rising. "I me

012Meanwhile back at Ryan's house.....The warm glow of the chandelier cast a soft light over the modern living room, the air carrying the scent of fresh cologne and rich whiskey. Ryan poured a drink for himself and his older brother, Lucas, before settling onto the sleek leather couch across from him."You finally decided to visit, huh?" Ryan smirked, swirling the amber liquid in his glass.Lucas chuckled, leaning back with a relaxed posture. "Well, you kept nagging me about meeting your new girl. Figured I’d stop by and see if she’s as perfect as you claim."Ryan grinned, glancing toward the hallway. "Ash should be out any minute. She was fixing her hair."As if on cue, the soft click of heels echoed against the marble floor. Ash stepped into the living room, her long red dress hugging every curve of her body. Her lips curled into a sultry smile as she made her way toward them, her gaze lingering a second too long on Lucas before shifting to Ryan."You must be Lucas," she purred, e

013A heavy silence hung in the air, thick and suffocating. The weight of Ryan’s voice had sent shockwaves through the room, shattering the heated haze that had consumed Lucas and Ash just moments ago.Lucas scrambled first, the shock jerking him into motion. He pushed Ash off him, hastily reaching for his trousers, his fingers fumbling with the fabric as he struggled to pull them back on. His breaths were short and uneven, panic setting in.Ash wasn’t far behind. She grabbed her dress from the floor, hastily slipping it over her shoulders. Her hands trembled as she zipped it up, eyes darting toward Ryan, whose expression remained unreadable—stunned, frozen in place, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.The groceries lay scattered on the floor, cans rolling across the polished tiles, their echoes cutting through the tension like a knife. Ryan hadn’t moved, hadn’t spoken another word. He simply stood there, staring at them as though his mind refused to process

014I’ve always waited for this day—the day I’d finally get my revenge.I still remember that night like it was yesterday. Two days after my father passed away, my mother and I were returning from the bank. We had nothing left after my father died, no money, no way to survive. Taking a loan was our only option.The streets were dark, eerily silent, as we walked home clutching the bag that held our last hope. And then, they appeared.Two boys—one older, maybe sixteen or seventeen, and the other barely thirteen. They didn’t wear masks. They weren’t afraid of being seen.The older one, the one with the gun, pointed it at my mother. “Give me the bag.”She refused. She had to refuse. That money was our only chance.He struggled with her, yanking at the bag, his grip tightening in frustration. My mother wouldn’t let go. She fought for it. And then—Bang.The sound still rings in my ears. A single gunshot, then my mother’s body collapsing to the ground. Her lifeless eyes staring up at me.I

015The house was quiet—too quiet.I stepped inside and flicked on the lights, watching as the warm glow illuminated the dark stain on the floor. Blood. Lucas’s blood.What a shame.I walked forward, my heels clicking against the wood as I neared the dried remnants of his life. Crouching down, I reached out and ran my fingertips over it, feeling the slight stickiness still left behind. I brought my fingers to my nose, inhaling deeply.“Smells like victory.”A slow smile stretched across my lips as I straightened. I made my way to the bar, pulling out a bottle of red wine. The cork popped easily, and I poured myself a generous glass before sinking into the sofa.“You were strong that night, Lucas,” I mused, swirling the wine. “And now look at you. Dead. What a waste. But the best part? Your dear brother is the one taking the fall for it.” I took a slow sip, savoring the moment. “Maybe he’ll get life in prison. Or better yet, a death sentence.”I laughed under my breath. Everything had

BENEATH THE LIES DO YOU HAVE THE RECORDING
063ALORA'S POV I turned and stared at him. "Why the hell do you need his number?" I asked as I walked forward to where he stood beside Doctor Kyle. "So what? Now I don't have the right to have the number of the doctor who'll be handling the test results? Remember, this is our child we're talking about." "Our?" I asked. I chuckled. "You're so delusional, Charles, and I can't wait for everyone to find out the truth." "What truth?" he asked, smirking at me. I glared at him. "The truth—that I'm not carrying a child in my womb. Not for you. Not for anyone." Without another word, I turned and walked out of the room, my legs carrying me faster than I could ever imagine. I strode to the car and got in, shutting the door behind me. Soon enough, I spotted Stanley, Chloe, and Charles coming. I couldn't help but smile. Charles thought collecting Doctor Kyle's number would do him any good. He thought he'd be able to bribe him. Well, from what I know about Doctor Kyle, he's a very honest

062ALORA'S POVI picked up my phone from the bed—again. I needed to search for an AI expert, someone skilled enough to detect whether a video was fake or not.I kept scrolling, but most of the profiles I found lacked experience. Their bios made it obvious—they hadn’t been in the field long.I sighed and rubbed my forehead. All this stress, all because of a false allegation. But it was worth it if it meant proving my innocence.I continued searching until I stumbled upon one bio that caught my attention. The man wasn’t too young, but not old either—55 years of age with twelve years of experience. His name was Jeremy.A smile tugged at my lips. I quickly scrolled up to check how much he charged, and to my surprise, it wasn’t much.He looked perfect for the job. Even in his photo, he looked strict—like someone who couldn’t be easily bought.I copied his contact details and placed a call immediately. The first call rang out. Then the second. Still nothing.“I’ll try one more time,” I mut

ALORA'S POV061“Really?” I asked, stepping closer to him, my voice tight with disbelief.“Yes, really,” Mr. Grey replied, tapping a few keys on his laptop. “When I checked the footage again, I noticed it had been blurred using some kind of virus filter. But it’s not permanent—I can fix it. I can help you.”I stared at him. My heart jumped, but I forced myself to stay calm. I couldn't afford to let hope ruin my focus.“Thank you,” I breathed. “Seriously, Mr. Grey, I don’t know what I would’ve done without you. Do you think you can get it done by tomorrow?”He hesitated for a second, then nodded confidently. “I’ll work through the night if I have to. You’ll have it by tomorrow. I promise.”I let out a slow breath, tension peeling off me like old skin. “Thanks,” I said quietly. “I’m counting on you.”“You should,” he said simply.Without another word, I turned and left the room. There was no time to lose. I needed to show Stanley the footage of Chloe pushing his mother. He deserved the
BENEATH THE LIES CLEARLY NOT ALERT ENOUGH.
ALORA'S POV060"Uhm, I… I uhm, I'm…" I stammered, my voice faltering as a knot formed in my throat. I had no idea what to say to the stern man staring at me. But then it struck me—everyone believed I was Mr. Stanley’s wife now. If I played that role convincingly, and backed it with the photos I’d collected, there was no way he wouldn’t believe me.Straightening my shoulders, I forced the trembling out of my voice. “I’m… I’m Mrs. Stanley. Mr. Stanley’s wife. And you must be Mr. Grey.”He stared at me, his lips tightening. “Women like you disgust me,” he snapped without hesitation.My breath caught in my chest. Had I heard that right? “Did you just say I disgust you?” I asked, stunned.He didn’t even blink. “You claim to be his wife, yet you go around cheating on him. Yeah, I saw the whole thing.”“Mr. Grey, please,” I pleaded quickly, pushing down the wave of anger and shame rising in me. “I need your help. This is about my dignity—”“Dignity?” he barked out a dry laugh. “What dignity

059ALORA'S POV I had been waiting in my room for the past two hours, ever since the chaos that had unfolded downstairs. My heart was still racing from what had happened, but I needed everything to settle. Everyone had to be asleep before I could make my move. Silence was my ally tonight. Charles thought he was clever—thought he could twist things and make it look like I was lying. But he didn’t know who he was messing with. I was going to show him what smart really looked like. By now, the house had gone quiet. Lights were out in most rooms, and the occasional creak of settling wood was all that could be heard. That was my cue. I stood from my bed, my bare feet making no sound as I slipped out of the room and into the dimly lit hallway. My destination was clear: the CCTV room. That room held the truth—hard evidence of what happened that day. If I was going to expose Charles, I needed the footage. I had heard an old man named Grey was usually stationed there, but rumor had it he w

058 STANLEY'S POV After my mom had passed, Chloe and I were headed back home. It was already late at this point. I was driving. And just then, my phone began buzzing through the call. When I looked at the name on the screen, I saw that it was Alora, and I ended the call instantly. I didn't want anything to do with her. Not now. Especially now that my mother had passed away. I needed to find myself. Alora had betrayed me in the worst way ever. So I thought. After a while, I arrived home. I parked the car in the parking lot, and Chloe and I got out from the car. We both walked into the house and just as, we did. I saw Alora sitting on the couch in the parlor. I wanted to ignore her at first. But when she spotted me, she stood up and walked towards where I was. I wanted passing her, but then she blocked me. She didn't allow me to pass. "I don't have time for your nonsense, Alora. I have a lot of things way more important than the act you're putting up here right now. Let me pass

STANLEY'S POV 057I gripped her hand tightly, nodding through my uncontrollable sobs."I promise you, Mom. I promise you I won't leave Alora," I said, my voice breaking with emotion.Just as the words left my mouth, she smiled warmly at me. A smile so weak, yet so full of love."Thank you, Stanley," she whispered. "I'm glad... I know you keep to your promises."But suddenly, the machine tracking her heartbeat began to beep faster, shrill and frantic. My mom gasped for breath, her chest rising and falling rapidly as tears streamed from her closed eyes.Panic exploded inside me."Doctor! Doctor!" I screamed at the top of my lungs."Mom, hold on! I'm coming!"I sprinted out of the ward, my heart pounding in terror. I saw the doctor rushing towards me, alarmed by my cries."Something's happening! My mom — the machine — please hurry!" I stammered desperately.Without wasting a second, the doctor dashed into the room with me close behind.But it was too late.The moment we entered, my legs
