I need to get more asthma medication.” Hearing her voice, a scoff surfaced in my heart. She had no idea I had uncovered her lies. She still thought I was the same gullible fool she could push around. If I sent her the money now, she would definitely use it to refill Derek’s medication. With that thought, I replied coldly, “I’m in the hospital. I don’t have money to send you.”

Hence, no one can lie but of course if they manage to, they will die." He said, "that affected their brain that they are almost as dumb as Patrick from the spongebob animation." "Wow. What exactly is the motive behind this?" I shook my head in fear. This meant that back at home, my family was probably going through the same thing.

"Don't Marcus, that just made everything she said more believable because you lied to me about being fine with what happened, when deep down you weren't, how many more times have you lied?" "If I am honest Anaya, I don't know. Yes, I have lied, but not to hurt you. The biggest lie was when I left and didn't tell you. I am sorry for that, then the lie of saying I understood you moving on with Demitri." She looks at me, nodding. "You forgot the biggest lie there, Marcus." I look at her, waiting. "The one where you said you loved me and would never walk away if less, I pushed you away." The biggest one? So that is the thing that is causing her the most pain?

he trails off. “Excuse me??” I angrily interrupt “You expect me to tell such a huge lie on national television?” I question him to be sure if he has an idea of the magnitude of what he is making me do. “What do you mean by huge lie? And when exactly did you start having a problem with lying” Elliot questions “You know that if I can avoid lying, I will actually pick honesty over lying” I remind him of my principle “ I am well aware of that, but in this situation lying is unavoidable, so the best option you have is to build the story that I am giving you into a beautiful love story for you and Meelah” he says like it is something so easy.

“If people believe those papers, everything collapses.” Liam rose, his footsteps steady, deliberate. She felt his presence before he touched her, the warmth of his hand resting lightly on her shoulder. “Let them believe for now,” he murmured. “The truth always has a way of breaking through shadows.

Lie or tell the truth? Either could implicate me... Lying too early would be suicide. I went with the truth. For now. I picked up my notepad and gave it to him. Then I shifted the laptop slightly towards him. I prayed my hands weren’t shaking as bad as my insides. “Someone’s been moving money into offshore accounts,” I said. “And this contract here…” I pointed at the highlighted section, “has a loophole big enough to crash the company ” His brows pulled together as he leaned in. Close. So close his cologne; musk and cherry, wrapped around me like smoke.

“No way, Layla.” “Oh, come on. He’s still in love with you.” “And I’m not,” I deadpanned. "Anyways, he’s flying back to Los Angeles on Thursday." “What did you do?” “I just told him you’re still single so maybe he still had a chance.” She gives a sweet, unapologetic smile. “Why did you do that?!"
