Deceit Desire And The Novel Mga Nobela at Kwento

I froze, “What do you mean?” “See,” Sarah pushed forward, hands on my desk. “These things are what I read in fictional novels. The husband gets the mistress pregnant, then switches children with the legal wife, who, most of the time, doesn't know until it's too late. The cheating duo ends up killing the woman, who'd be reborn and play the cheating duo like a fool and—” Emily groaned. “Sarah, for heaven’s sake. This is not one of your late-night binge reads. This is Adele’s life.”

Lust with deceit. I was shattered, regretful, helpless, exhausted. I still didn't want to believe it. This was a coincidence. To be sincere, I had always known something wasn't right. I had known something was missing in this relationship, but this had never been my thought. He was deceiving me?

You tried to manipulate me with your stories but you forgot what I had told you that nothing will work on me. I accept that I always acted foolish just to save our marriage but I have no reasons to dig the grave of my self respect. Not even your love has that power for which I should compromise with my self respect. I'll snatch everything from you and your so called parents. After that you all will be on roads. Or I should say behind the bars for doing fraud. My Deceitful Husband also deserves to get deceived from the love of his life. He should know the taste of deceit.

I had never felt so regal, so commanding, yet the act of deception weighed heavily on my heart . I did not like that I was deceiving the man I loved with all my heart . This is not how I planned to start my marriage , with secrets and deceit. Not in the least but choice had abandoned me long before the sun rose. If being Prince George’s wife required this web of lies, then so be it. A mere vampire hunter, a shadowed spy, a schemer of any sort would not stand in my way of spending the rest of my life with him . I would not allow anything or anyone to prevent me from claiming the rightful place that was mine by destiny and by promise.

The only thread I began to hang onto. “How long are you going to hide it?” My voice dropped, rough with exhaustion. “You didn’t know the lady I was buying a ring for. The one I moved here for was Anastasia?” My laugh came out broken and bitter as I scrubbed a hand over my face. “Jane… Mom, I’m in pain. Spare me the questions. I know I messed up, Mom. I did. But I tried. I tried to keep my hands off her, to hide my jealousy, my—” I hesitated, then spat it out. “My desire for her body. For her. I tried. But it’s exhausting and I went crazy. I don't think there is any going back. Not for Snow. It’s too late. I want her. I want to marry her, and I mean it.”

I wondered. “Nuances,” he smiled with genuine enjoyment, his face lighting with the expression. “Fae cannot lie, but if their language tells you that they’re not telling the truth, is it really a lie? The language of deceit was initially developed as a literary device. It was their way of saying, this is an imagined story, and not a true event. When the cataclysm of mankind began, they evolved that language into one they use with man.” “And the Deceit of Elovyn is written in the language of deceit?” I puzzled it out. “So, it could be implying that Elovyn is lying, or just that the poem is a creation and not a true event?”

Emma's POV I let what he said sink in and realized that my experience with her was the same. “She did the same to me. Well, sort of.” I said, “I told you, right?” “You did.” He said, “I don't understand what she is trying to do. I feel like the Sinclair family is onto something.” “I don't think so.” “Why? Just because she said she has changed, you believed her readily that she has indeed changed?” “No, that's not it.” I said and struggled to find words to explain to him. After thinking for a while, I said, “See, Desiree is evil because of hatred, not because she was born like that. She won't hurt you unless you hurt her first.”

“You didn’t even ask me.” “You work for me, you do what I say.” His eyes were darker than usual. “Do you like being talked about like that?” he asked. “No.” “Then stay off work and remain here as I told you .” “That’s control, I can’t stand being controlled again .” “No,” he said. “This is control.” He closed the distance in three steps, he lifted me. His gaze looked hungry like he had been holding himself. “But this—” he murmured, his hand reaching the curve of my back “—this is desire.”

I said as I set my briefcase down, my gaze following her as she rose from the bed and began to walk toward me with a slow, deliberate sway. The fabric shifted with every step, revealing far more than it concealed. The outline of her body was unmistakable, her confidence unmistakable too, and the way she moved made it impossible to look away. She knew exactly what she was doing. And worse… she knew exactly what it did to me. Fuck. She really was going to be the death of me. “Yes, I did,” she murmured, her hand gliding slowly down my chest, igniting every nerve in its path. “Do you like what you see?”

“You think I ever wanted to be you? No. I wanted what you had. Power. Security. Love. You were untouchable. The woman everyone admired, feared, whispered about. Even broken, you had everything.” “No. I lied. Deceit. A husband who used me. Friends who betrayed me. A marriage built on silence and shame.” “And I took it from you,” she said, voice low and triumphant. “Piece by piece. And you still don’t get it.” “Get what?” “That it was never about Daniel.” She stepped closer, lowering her voice to a hiss. “It was about proving that no matter how perfect a woman is, she can still lose. You were brilliant. Accomplished. Composed. And still, you lost him—to me. That’s the part that made it delicio
