Novel & Cerita Drop A Big Lie

“Issue an immediate press release. We’re releasing proof of photo manipulation within the hour. Shut down any site that republishes this trash.” Leo walked back and forth while swearing to himself. “She had this planned out so well. That bitch.” I pressed my palms to my face, trying to breathe through the nausea curling in my stomach. My chest felt tight, my skin too small for the rage and shame pressing against it. “How can they believe this?” I whispered. “After everything I’ve said, everything I’ve done?” “Because lies scream louder than truth,” Adrian said, his voice dark. “But that doesn’t mean truth can’t prevail.”

I dealt the next card, my heart racing with anticipation. The card read: "What's the biggest lie you've ever told your partner?" Elrod's eyes scanned the question, and then he looked up at Krissy, a sheepish expression on his face. Krissy's eyes narrowed, her expression darkening. "Well?" she asked, her voice cold.

Julian suggests, holding his glass out. “No more lies,” Nikita adds with a shrug. “I agree wholeheartedly, no more lies.” Layla moves her glass forward and they all look at me.

But the truth is, for the ones I love, I’ll continue to lie till the very end. THE END

“Well, let’s see what happens when the truth comes to light, shall we? After all, a lie of this magnitude—rejecting a mate and hiding it—carries heavy consequences, doesn’t it, Alpha Rick?” Rick’s jaw clenched, his hand curling into a fist at his side.

“Not this.” He walks away. Back to his investors. His empire. His responsibilities. I stand alone on the dance floor. And realize Ethan was right about one thing. We’ve been lying. To him. To everyone. To ourselves. But the biggest lie? That we could keep this hidden forever. The photos will post tomorrow. The truth will follow soon after. And there’s no stopping it now.

"You let me believe you were lying about the clause, when in fact, you were lying about which document contained it. You traded one lie for a more dramatic, more motivating lie." ​"I exchanged a paralyzing truth for a motivating one," Damian corrected. "I needed you to move with absolute certainty. I needed the Board to believe the threat was real. And I needed the final, unchallengeable proof of our unity. The real lie was that the will we burned was the original.

Uh... Oh... Congratulations! Congratulations, I applaud you (I applaud you) oh... Uh... Oh... Great liar, destruction is always beneath your feet... I thought for once that you were different. I thought for once that your promises were true. I thought for once that you, more than I, made them true. But in reality, it was all... A big lie... Ev

I'll keep lying. I'll have to keep pretending to be Maria Davidson while Amelia Stone hides underneath the surface.

And my daughter has nothing to do with you anymore! You've already divorced! Don't harass my daughter after this, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!" "No, this isn't real! None of this is real..." He frowned in thought, suddenly struck by realization. "I didn't mean to sign the divorce agreement. I signed it when I was drunk! It was all that woman's plot!
