Big Little Lies Audiobook Novels & Stories

Ashley teased, pointing at Garnet. Garnet simply smiled, while John cleared his throat awkwardly. "Okay… maybe this year," he said hesitantly. Garnet turned to look at him, eyes wide with surprise. He had no choice. He had to lie. "That’s settled then! I’ll call Esmeralda later—I have good news for her!" Diana said excitedly. Then, the unexpected happened. "I don’t want to get pregnant." The room fell into silence. All three of them turned to look at Garnet.

It wasn't overboard, right? Archer's voice trembled. "The interest's snowballed to 50 million… Mom, do we even have that kind of money?" Although their lives looked flashy and they lived in a huge villa, they also spent without any control. Money came and went, with no savings in place. The debt collectors didn't hold back. "It's 50 million today, or tomorrow, it could be 60." "I'll call the police! Try me!" Mom barked. "Go ahead," one replied, unfazed. "Let's see if the cops will go easy on someone who turned a livestream into a show, abusing their own son for fun."

here I was drowning myself in self-pity. What was worse was the fact that my fiance had severely injured my mother over something that could have been handled by the authorities which now was something I could no longer use due to my fiance being the center of the damage control that was to take place if the police were to be involved. From floating on air to crashing face first into the sidewalk of misfortune I found myself lost/confused and hurt beyond measure from all of those I once held close to my heart. I felt alone and confused about what I should do next with José, would I forgive him for what he has done? Could I ever forgive her or him...was I capable of being sympathetic to eith

I ask “To talk. To understand why you’re doing this. To understand if…” He hesitates. “If there’s still something there.” My heart flutters. Still something there. Is there? Damian is calm. Calculated. Profitable. Aiden is chaos. Emotion. History, and history doesn’t just disappear. “I’m busy,” I say, but my voice lacks its usual sharpness. “It’ll take thirty minutes,” he says gently. I close my eyes. If I was truly over him, this would be easy. I would hang up.

I said in raspy gasps. “Who calls you bunny, Bella?” Antonio asked through gritted teeth. “No one calls me that,” I wheezed out as he cut my air supply off. “YOU’RE LYING!” Antonio snarled. “No, I’m not,” I declared. I tried to believe my own lie so he would think I wasn't lying. Please believe the lie. Antonio looked deep into my eyes and was satisfied with the answer. He let go of my neck, and I heaved in breaths of air into my burning lungs.

“Since you’re already going, how about I tell you a little secret?” She smiled and leaned close to my ear. “That cornea of yours... was actually given to me.” My fingers froze in place, and Joanna looked even more smug. “Surprised? Your husband and son teamed up to deceive you, all for me.” “To be honest, Laura, if I ended up like you, I’d have bashed my own head in already.” She tore open my deepest wound without mercy, and though I remained expressionless, my fingers were digging into my palm.

I sniffed his perfume from a distance, it was one of the most expensive he had in his collection. “Why are you acting so nervous?” He asked, his voice trembling and diminished. I was actually trying to figure out if that was true or not, as I stood so dumbfounded and stared at him, without a single word. “Are you being serious right now? why aren’t you even talking to me, Ana?” He inquired again. “Um, I think I would have to drink some water, I feel thirsty, even before you came,” That was a blatant lie though, and I knew he wouldn’t believe me, but who was he to detect what I was up to since he wasn’t telepathic?.

My life is complicated, with a call I could get anything I wanted and with that same call, everything would be over. My attention diverted when I heard his footsteps, holy bananas, it’s time I confront him and if I don’t convince him to stay overnight, that bitch will eventually find out that I was lying to her. "Thanks for letting me use your bathroom." He said; his voice so profound but calming. "Anytime," I smiled still wondering what to say. There was silence in the room for almost a minute before he glanced at his watch "I think I will be on my way." He said

“Hey Mama, sorry I missed your calls. I’m okay, just really busy with some applications and opportunities. Something big might come through soon. I’ll call you properly tomorrow, okay? Eat something good and rest. Love you so much.” Sending it felt like another lie on top of all the others I’d been telling lately. She sacrificed everything for me. She got pregnant young, raised me alone, and made me promise I would never repeat her story. No baby without marriage. No struggling. No shame. And here I was, jobless, pregnant by a stranger whose face I never even saw clearly, about to enter a fake marriage with a billionaire I already knew I would despise.

“What’s going on? You’ve been in here a while.” “Well, Xavier was just letting me know dinner was wrapping up.” The lie rolled off my tongue before I could think, and I managed a small smile to make it more convincing. “I was also lost in our little discussion that I lost track of time.” Frank looked at me for a moment like he found something blue in what I said and then Xavier, I couldn’t read the plain expression he had, it was the kind of look that made you think he had some suspicious thoughts. My pulse hammered in my ears but I held his gaze, kept my shoulders lose and held on to the smile.
