Deadly Deceptions Novels & Stories

She could not control her muttered curses, “Damn the British Lord. He… He actually deceived us for thirty years! After activating the pineal gland, there is… there is no such thing as our soul surviving despite the death of the physical body! It's all lies, it’s all deceitful nonsense!” “This despicable person… He… He was just treating the four of us… as bombs! He deceived us, saying that in a life-or-death crisis, we could leave behind a strand of our souls to undergo the process of being reborn to give us hope. In reality, this scoundrel wanted… wanted us to activate our pineal glands when facing formidable enemies and encountering life-or-death crises so that we could perish with our enem

I know it was a hard truth, but it was better to face the truth head-on rather than run from it. "There's one important factoid that's really bothering me." Thomas tapped the wheel, turning down his long driveway. "Was Mike alive or dead when I killed him? Because if he was alive and out of his mind, then I murdered a man. But if he was dead, which he very well could've been, then I killed a... zombie." Goosebumps rippled down my back. Zombie. Thomas was the first of us to have enough courage to say it. I hadn't said anything because I didn't want them to call me crazy, but when Thomas suggested the idea, Derek and I couldn't fight his logic.

He then says something again, but it’s indecipherable. He coughs lightly and says something once more, that this time leaves us all confused, and me worried. “Deadly Secrets Of The CEO.” Jimmy’s voice comes out clear as he smiles while sleeping.

This was only the beginning of a new war. Not one of teeth and fur. but of deception and manipulation. One that could kill me without ever taking a single drop of my blood.

He flips the pages of the book once more as the next verse was written and reads like the hunting darkness of a song that rings. “Count one to three don’t dare to see a tempting hunger yet to be. Gluttony is there for you to seek. A mouth of death you will end up being. Deadly sin is upon your way and the only thing for you to live a camera she treasures so dearly. Don’t dare steal anything you want and see, for that hand of yours will surely drag you down in an endless pit. A pit of nothingness where your deepest fear aside and in the end, you will desire to die.” Drawing a sinister smile as his eye glows like a devil who son a game of souls and will about to harvest the intended ones whose

Today, I sensed, would bring veils of deception to the forefront actions hidden behind polite words, motives concealed under practiced expressions, and ambitions disguised as loyalty. Adrian’s note rested on the desk, crisp and deliberate as always: Deception will surface. Observe, anticipate, and guide. Missteps are costly. The message was short, but its implications were weighty. In Adrian’s world, deception was never simply malicious; it could be defensive, ambitious, protective, or manipulative, and the challenge lay in discerning intent while managing impact. My pulse quickened with anticipation. Today would test my judgment, intuition, and ability to influence outcomes with subtlety an

“Someone you’d never suspect. And someone who will strike when we least expect it. Kane’s network… is only the beginning. The real betrayal is yet to come.” Isabella shivered, not from the cold, but from the realization that danger, desire, and deception were entwined in a deadly dance—and that every move she made could cost her life, Damian’s, or Valentina’s. The city below glittered, oblivious, serene, and beautiful. But inside the Moretti estate, shadows moved, secrets festered, and betrayal lingered, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And Isabella knew this truth: in the world of seduction and strategy, no one was untouchable, no secret safe, and no heart truly secure.

“I told you Celeste wasn’t working alone. What I didn’t tell you is that there’s another player. Someone even more dangerous.” Juliette leaned in, her tone clipped. “Who?” Adrian tapped the screen. A photo appeared. Damon’s blood drained from his face. “No…” “Yes,” Adrian confirmed. “Martin Delacroix.” Juliette’s heart lurched. “That’s not possible. He’s dead.” Adrian’s voice remained even. “That’s what he wanted the world to believe. He faked his death just before the SEC could nail him for tech fund fraud. He blames Damon for turning his back on him during the collapse. Claims you sealed his fate.”

He wake me up at midnight and took me again, and another one at dawn until I totally pass out. I woke up in the afternoon and I can't feel my lower half, I tried to move and I saw a painkiller and water at the night stand, I reach it and drink two pills. I wait to kick in the medicine and move again. As I sat I see that I was still naked under the duvet. I was looking for Pete but he was nowhere to be found, and it sank in my mind that maybe he regret being with me and my heart aches.

"Tell me— why would Adrian want to kill Marcus? It was you he hated. So why should he want to kill Marcus, the man he loves? Think, Laim." My mind races. At first, I assume Deception is just trying to mess with my head, trying to plant doubt. But something about his words sticks with me. I try to shake it off. "I know it was me he wanted to kill. But he shot Marcus by mistake," I say firmly. Deception grins at my words. "Come again. By what again?" he presses. I frown but repeat myself. "He shot Marcus by mistake." And then Deception laughs. A deep, knowing laugh. "Mistakes don’t happen unless the celestial beings in charge of them allow it," he says, his eyes gleaming with amusement.
