All Chapters of Love in lies: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

EMILY’S POV Marco had not noticed my skepticism, he was walking a step ahead of me. “What are we doing here?” I asked him. “Come, I want to show you something.” He held his hands out to me. “Don't be scared, she's not here.” He squeezed my hands that were trembling slightly and led me through the dark path. I kept thinking of Isabella as we walked, what if her spirit was still hovering around? I brushed the thought away and tried to see our surroundings through the very dim light that came from a lantern on the wall. I could barely make out anything, aside from Marco's back. There was a light coming from a distance as we rounded a corner. How was this house built? I knew there was a dungeon here, but I had no idea it was this big and deep. We stepped into the light, I closed my eyes to stop the stars I was seeing and adjust to the switch in lighting. To my right, Jonathan stood there with a pliers, two other guards stood at each side of a bloodied man. My stomach churned at the s

MARCO’S POV Vanessa, Emily's step mother sat in the living room, I had totally forgotten about her. I remember knocking her down in that house, but I Can't remember giving any of my men the order to bring her back here. “You?” She looked at me, her eyes just stared at me blankly. “Marco?” I heard Mr Harper's voice. “What's she doing here?” “What do you mean by that? She's here because she's my wife.” “Hmmm, wife?” “What brings you here by this time of the day?” he asked. “We need to talk,” “Can't you say it here?” “Sure, but I'm not sure it's something you'd want your beloved wife to hear.” He looked at me his brows raised, as if questioning. I went towards his study, I didn't even want to be in the same room with that woman else I'd kill her. “To what do I owe this meeting? Or have you finally decided to forgive me.” His eyes fixed on mine, they were sullen and bright with unshed tears. The sadness in them very evident. I looked away. “Be gentle with Vanessa, I don't kno

“Are you okay?” I asked Hivan the next morning. “Are you sure it's okay for you to be up?” “I'm fine Emily, I can't stay in a place for too long anyway.” “Are you sure you can trust your husband?” Hivan asked. “Like he won't endanger you for him benefit like Lucas?” “He's not like that,” a part of me was asking if I really believed that, I remember there was a time I could swear that Lucas would never do something like that to me, his supposed best friend. “You look different around him I just admit,” he took an apple from the basket in front of me. “He has that effect, I guess.” “Hiiii” Judi beamed at the door. “Looks like our patient is awake.” “Yeah,” I replied, unable to take the cold silence from Hivan. “Is it okay for him to be up already?” She started checking his body for signs of.. what I didn't know exactly. “Uh, uh,” Hivan cleared his throat, “I ah, need to take a shower.” He pryed himself from Judi, his ears turned red as he walked away. It seems like the tough

Marco turned to face me, “ she's heading towards Aleo's house.” “Aleo's?” “Yeah, your dad.” I sometimes forget that Aleo is my dad, he barely used that name at home. I paced across the room, my heart still hammering from the fight. My throat hurt where Judi’s fingers had been, and my palms were shaking. Marco leaned against the table, with his arms crossed, watching me. His eyes narrowed on me. “She’s not thinking straight,” I said finally, my voice trembling. “She’s angry, Marco, angry enough to do something stupid.”He frowned. “Yeah, I could see that clearly.”“You're not worried? What if she does something to dad?” “She came here. She knows.” The words rushed out “About my dad—about her mother. She thinks I hid it from her all these years.” I broke into a sob. “What dad did to her mom was horrible, Marco.. very horrible.” He was right beside me again, “M M M Marco, she, he, why did he do it? I-i-i didn't know, I had no idea.” “I know sweet Emily, I know. Shhhh.” He patted m

My heart leapt to my mouth, the only thing in my head was NOT AGAIN!! can't my life just be peaceful, no drama? The sound of metals jamming against each other made the house shake. I covered my ear to reduce the effect of the noise. Cal moved to the window of the study so fast. “That’s the gate,” he said, his voice tense. “Something just broke through it.” “Let's move to the living room.” Marco said without waiting for permission. “I told you I didn't want to get involved with your shit again Marco.” I heard Cal say to him. “Not now Cal, look around you, there are people we need to protect here.” His eyes found mine quickly before narrowing back to the living room door. My heart was already beating fast, I couldn't even think straight, I just wanted whatever it is that was going on to be over already. “What do we do now?” I couldn't even hear my own self, but I hoped they did hear me. Before anyone could answer, gunshots started raining from outside. started. “Get down!” Marc
