Novel & Cerita Everyone Here Is Lying

There’s no anger in his eyes, but his presence is arresting—quiet and unwavering. Mae steps forward, hands raised. “Lloyd, listen—we were just getting air. No trouble, no drinking—okay maybe a little—but it’s just us! Please don’t tell.” I quickly can tell the panic in our hearts is shared. I frown at myself. I am the future Luna why am I scared. “We’ll go back right now,” Savannah adds quickly. I rise to my feet, heart thudding. “Lloyd, I’m sorry. I just needed a break. With everything…”

Adrian replied, his tone laced with concern. I staggered backwards, Jennifer supporting me and preventing me from falling to the ground. "He's right, Nick. You don't have to watch all those lies," Jennifer agreed. "Does it matter?" I muttered. "What do you mean by that?" Jennifer asked. "The only ones who know that those are lies," I said, pointing to the TV, "are the people in this mansion. Every single person out there believes the media!" "It doesn't matter what they think," Adrian interrupted.

"You have to give something hard to guess. It is a truth or a lie." There was silence for seconds as everyone around digested the rule. "So we can't tell something everyone already knows of?" It was Tania asking. Alexia nodded her head. "Yes. For example, I love running. Everyone knows its truth. Or I haven't had dinner, which is a lie because we had dinner together. You need to give a statement that hard to guess, the one only you know the truth or lie. And you can not confirm the answer." "Sounds interesting."

he protested. Jasmine walked behind him, "I'm just saying, almost everyone is born with traits to deceive others, in small ways and sometimes in ways that can be devastating", she pointed out, "People lie, there's no such thing as a man who speaks only the truth", she said as Zee cleared their throat, she laughed, "Man, woman, non-binary, whatever, no one speaks the truth absolutely. Heck, I know nuns and priests that have lied", she corrected and continued, "If you're saying you would rather choose not to con people, that makes you the biggest confounding conman there is", she stated simply. Bell hummed, "That kind of makes sense", she said agreeably.

The old doctor continued telling it all as he scans the medical documents of Tanashiri. "I see. When it comes to money and power, everybody lies." A young intern said. "In all aspects of life, we all lie and deceive each other. We only do it by different severities. And what makes it worse is we all lie in the eyes of God, we lie to ourselves, and we lie to people around us. It is taken into account when someone is hurt, but if no one knows about it, we can all feign innocence. Don't you think I also do not lie to you all? Any one of you can steal my power in this hospital someday."

I wanted to scream. The microphones crackled as Liam began. His voice was smooth, rehearsed, but the fury underneath bled through. “This family does not answer to rumors. We are united. We stand against lies meant to destroy us.” Zane leaned into the mic, his smirk razor sharp. “Funny thing about lies—they’re usually born from truth. And maybe the truth isn’t what anyone thinks.” Gasps. Murmurs. The crowd rippled, hungry for blood. Liam’s glare could have burned holes through his brother. “Zane”

I blurted the universal lie. Damn.

Just the question. Lila looked at him. Really looked at him. The boy who had hurt her. Protected her. Broken her heart. Then stood beside her anyway. Messy. Complicated. Humans. “I need everyone to stop lying to me.” The words came out smaller than she intended. Ethan nodded immediately. “Then no more lies.” Vanessa crossed her arms. “Agreed.” Maya raised a hand. “Honestly, same.” For the first time all day, Lila almost smiled.

Feeling in despair, I repeated the truth—over and over again. "You're lying. Everyone knows that the ring he usually wears isn't this one," Melissa sneered, her gaze dripping with mock sympathy. "Honestly, it's like you've barely even met him to lie like this."
