All The Lies Book Novels & Stories

"Hopefully." He forced a smile. "I'll go now. Have a nice day," and he bade the both of them before leaving the house. Adelina stared at herself in the mirror. Was she wrong to have started this lie? Yes, she felt it. But she also thought it was the best way to forget him for good. Jonathan was always going to be the same arrogant, womanizer she had met a couple of years back and she felt stupid to have thought for a second, that he could change because of her. For her.

"Rachel, what’s happening? The men in black not only wrecked my shop and locked up your brother and sister, but they also stopped Evans' job and refused to cover your oldest brother's school fees. They threatened that if we don’t give back the store, property, and cash, your siblings will rot in jail forever. Rachel, what did you do with Lucas? We can't offord to offend them." Rachel's eyes filled with tears, and she didn’t try to hide it. With a shaky voice, she replied, "Mom, Lucas cheated on me and got his mistress pregnant. She was waiting for me at our house and pretended to fall, losing the baby. Now, Lucas wants me to leave with nothing." "What kind of sense does that make? Why should

He was so charming, you know. He was so charming that he almost made me forget that he was a pathetic liar. He just had sex with Anna a few hours ago and he’s here spreading bullshit. Oh my goodness, I was already getting tired of the lies he was feeding me. I felt like throwing up because he was a terrible person. But I had to hold myself and act as though I was enjoying his stupid sermon.

"The powerful man. The helpless girl. Tell me, Jade. Is the real thing better than the paper?" ​"No," I lied, my breath coming in short, jagged pops. ​It was a total lie. This was a million times hotter than any book I had ever read! I licked my lips, trying to look innocent, but I was actually tasting the air, wanting him. I wanted him to see right through my act. I wanted him to punish me for being such a liar and make me his little slut. My pussy gave a violent throb just thinking about it.

By now, he's probably already confessed. Hearing this, my emotions tangled into a storm. I was heartbroken that a man who had worked alongside my parents for so many years could betray me so ruthlessly. And I was filled with regret toward Andy. In the past, deceived by Chelsea, I had often lashed out at him with harsh words. Yet now, the one who saved me… was him. Without thinking, I tightened my arms around him. At that moment, another barrage of comments flashed before my eyes. [This idiot Melissa still isn't rushing to save the finance director—she's actually believing Andy's lies!]

So, this was the reason he had refused to go public with our relationship all these years. All that talk about waiting for the firm to stabilize, waiting for the right time, waiting until he could give me a secure life before going public—it was all a lie. Without even knowing it, I had been the other woman. I forced a bitter smile and looked them both straight in the eye. "Fine. Okay. I'll leave you two to it." With that, I bent down, gathered my personal belongings from the floor, and prepared to leave. "Hold on." Louis suddenly called out, stopping me.

No more lies, no more Ken, no more pretending I was okay. Then my phone buzzed on the bed, the screen lighting up like a cruel joke. I glanced over, and there it was—*Ken*. His name flashing, mocking me. My heart twisted, a fresh wave of rage burning through the sadness. More tears spilled, blurring the room. “You,” I whispered, my voice shaking, barely audible. “You’re the cause of all this, Ken.” My hands clenched, nails digging into my palms. He lied about Tasha, about his other wife, about everything. He left me in the dark, made me the fool, the pathetic wife who thought she could hold it together. And now he had the nerve to call? Where was he when I called him first?

I rubbed my temples, pacing my room as the weight of his betrayal pressed down on me. “It doesn’t make sense,” I muttered to myself. “He’s gay. He told me... he told me he loved me.” Lie. All of it. Lies. The realization hit like a punch to the gut. Liam had lied about everything. About us. About the future he told me he dreamed of. And now, he was engaged to her? My throat tightened as I thought of Sophia, with her perfect smile and flawless reputation. The world adored her. Of course, they did. She was everything I wasn’t—safe, polished.

And her body, once proud and strong, grew weaker and thinner, but her eyes still burned with desperate hope that he might hear her pleas if she repeated them enough times. “Stefano, they lied to me as much as they lied to you, I was nothing but a soldier, I was used, I never wanted this, I swear to you, you are the only man I ever loved, the only truth in all my lies,” she cried one night when he pressed the cold barrel of his gun against her temple, not pulling the trigger but letting the weight of it speak for him. He shook his head slowly and whispered, “Love, you say, but love is not built on lies. Love is not a mask you wear until it rots and falls away, what you gave me was not love, i

“You’ve given me every reason to doubt hiring you.” My throat tightened. Yep. This is it. I’m fired. I took a breath and lifted my chin just a little, ready to take it. “You’re right,” I said. “I’ve done more wrong things than I can count. So if you’re letting me go, I won’t argue. I’ll accept it.” I dropped my gaze after that. My hands curled into fists at my sides. Honestly, he had every right to fire me. It wasn’t just about the laundry. I’d been lying this whole time, pretending to be Amelia Castillo, when in reality, I was Amara Celestine Fuentes.
