Feigning Innocence Novels & Stories

Did she truly think I'd be oblivious to her manipulation? I gazed at her, my eyes burning with disdain. The false innocence plastered on her face made my stomach churn with disgust. How could she feign innocence after everything she'd done? “Stop with that innocent face,” I spat, my voice laced with venom. “It makes me sick.” Veronica's smile faltered for an instant, revealing a glimpse of the calculating person beneath. But she quickly regained her composure, her mask of innocence firmly back in place. “Evelyn, don't be like that,” she cooed, her tone condescending. “I'm just trying to make amends.”

Feigning innocence, I replied, “What are you talking about? I have no idea what you mean.” “Don’t play dumb! With your stubborn personality, there’s no way you would’ve given up the inheritance so easily. And you’ve been fanning the flames online, making sure everyone knows I’m ‘dead’!” “Now that’s unfair,” I said, with mock sadness. “You were declared legally dead after going missing. What if you weren’t really dead? It’s only right to let everyone know, just in case. And see? It worked perfectly. Here you are, alive and kicking, back from the ‘dead’!”

“Today is my first day. Since I just got here this morning, I must have made a mistake due to the rush. I apologize deeply ma’am.” Her eyes narrowed. “What is your name?” “Mina.” Fea lied. “Where are you from?” “ Northvale.” With her arms crossed the woman studied her for a long time. Fea felt her palms get clammy. At last, the woman said, “ Well, Mina from Northvale, this isn't your assignment. This is not your place. I'll send you to the kitchen for a week to peel turnips. The next time you sneak into private rooms, you'll be thrown out.”

That blend of her innocence and tenderness could make anyone go crazy to taste the outcome’s sweetness. She could be read by anyone, could be tarnished by anyone, and could be deceived by anyone. Anyone like him. Because he too forced her and suppressed her like this. She was left at his mercy. She had shown him that the innocence sought in heaven was alive in today’s times.

“I asked you what you’re going to do when we prove your innocence? You’ll lose that stellar reputation of yours and won’t be able to threaten everyone into doing what you wanted.” “Shit,” I cursed, “Maybe we shouldn’t prove I’m innocent. Or maybe I should just murder someone else. We just learned PEMDAS in math. That would cancel it out, right? I’m sure it’s the same principle. Hm, I wonder if it would work better if my victim was the future Alpha?” No death threats before dinner, Lilac.

His arm hovered in the air for a moment, before falling back to his side. Everyone turned to look at me. “I’ll go,” I said quietly. “No,” Hayden said immediately. I turned to face him. His expression…God. It broke something in me. Even though his eyes were unfocused, I could see the desperation and helplessness in them. “I’m innocent,” I said, reaching for his hand. My fingers slid into his palm, grounding us both. “I have nothing to hide.” “You don’t need to prove anything,” he said, his voice low.

Soon I arrived at the cell and I walked in. I found her lying there as she buried her face in her palms. I walked to her quietly and tapped her. She was startled as she jumped up in fear. “Your grace.” “Hush, I’ll be doing more of the talking here, all you need to do is answer my questions.” “Your grace, I’m innocent of all the accusations that they have laid before me, I don’t know anything, please spare my life.” She begged in such a pitiful tone. I was very impressed with her acting skills because one that would see her would see that she was innocent of all the accusations that were placed before her.

Adi shook his head and said "Angel, what I told you about lying to me?" Meera looked at him and then looked down. "There is still a little pain in my knee but Adi your magic really worked. Trust me." "I know Angel, my magic never fails but it works better when you tell me about your pain honestly. So never hide your pain from me. Promise me you will always come to me when you are in pain" Adi said kneeling in front of her and extending his pinky finger towards her. "I promise, I will always come to you." Meera intertwined her pinky with his.

“Stay with me please. I am afraid of being alone in the dark,” hearing her words, he gritted his teeth and spun around to face her. “You are not afraid of seeing me kill someone in the dark but you are afraid of being left alone in the dark. Really?” he seethed out at her, snatching his arm back from her hold. What did she think of him? That she would be able to trap him in her fake web of innocence, just like she had trapped his nephew, Cain? He had encountered countless people like her in his life and he knew exactly what they wanted from people like him.
