Actually I Was The Real One Novels & Stories

I responded with a smile. "You're stronger than you think, Nina," she said. "You've gone through all of these ugly situations but nobody would know if you didn't tell them. Sometimes, we have to go through difficult times to discover our true strength. You'll get through this, and you'll come out even stronger." “Yeah, I wouldn't let what had happened define me. There's more in me that I need to explore, and I won't stop until I discover the real me. “That's it. Nothing defines you except you say so.”

His face becomes sallow and stretched. I’m no longer a ten-year-old girl. And the pain. Oh God, the pain. It hurts so much. "None of this is real,” I whisper as realization hits me. “You died.” And then a worse realization hits me. "You’re not my real father," I whisper. "You never were. I am Camila Yannickevna... And I can't change that." Hot tears roll from my eyes even as I try to stop them from falling.

Jamal saw it— and something in him hardened. “You can’t prove it,” he said. “Because you don’t believe it yourself.” “That’s not true.” “Then say it.” “Say what?” “Say you’re real.” I swallowed. “I’m real.” “Louder.” “I’m real!” “Again.” “I’M REAL!” He stared at me. “Say it like you mean it.” I stepped closer until my face was inches from his. “I. Am. Real.” His expression changed—

Grace shoved me hard. I stumbled backward and slammed into the coffee table. Glass shattered everywhere. Ethan stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Grace, his gaze as cold as ice when he looked at me. "You're still lying? Grace said her father is fine. You're just trying to run away." "Ethan!" I stared at him in disbelief. "We're fated mates, and you still won't even believe me?" "Mates?" Grace scoffed. "A Rogue doesn't deserve to be Ethan's mate. Today I'm going to teach this fraud a lesson she won't forget!"

Like part of him had expected that answer right from the start. Except that wasn’t my answer. "I wasn’t finished,” I said quickly, placing my hand on his cheek. “I don't want you to be my second, because I want you to be my first. All parts of you, if possible. You're right, there’s no way for me to ever know who's 'real' and who's not. Maybe it’s all of you and maybe it’s none of you. That doesn't matter though. You’re all real to me. And I want to give you all a chance."

“God help me, but yeah.” The thorns in my chest unlatched, still I can't bear to let my guard down. My brows knit. Real? Was this...still real?

There was no denying it anymore. No running from it. No pretending this was just some mistake. This was real. Painfully real. My chest tightened as the truth finally settled in. This was no joke. Hunter really is… the Alpha King.

But just before they closed completely, he added one more sentence that made my pulse spike. “Because tonight… I plan on seeing the real you.”

I said. "So today is the day where you publish your newest book and it's called The Real Deal. Can you tell us briefly what it is about?" The MC asked and I smiled nodding. "Well.. I don't want to spoil anything but it's based on my own love life. I wrote this book for my boyfriend, Ares, just to thank him for everything." I said and I turned to see Ares standing beside my dad. He smiled widely at me and I turned to the audience again nervously.
