Feigning Innocence Novels & Stories

The boy gave a quick nod and left without a word. The man brought his attention back to Sera, his eyes slightly narrowing. "Why are you wearing a mask, Miss Sophia?" he questioned. On instinct, Sera adjusted her already well-placed mask, feeling caught. "I am allergic to dust," she lied. Nine years and, her heart still stuttered every time she lied. She was in hiding, and each day was a reminder of that. From her name to her identity, everything was a carefully constructed lie. The man nodded, having bought the lie. Just then, a lanky man stepped in bearing no resemblance to her little brother. Her shoulders slumped. The clueless man looked between her and the man behind the desk.

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.

“He just said that and yeah, he told me he’ll never contact me again if I did it and then the call ended…” “Do you have the call log?” “No… I remember it vanished as soon as the call ended…” “Hm. It is all so suspicious” “Yeah… but… Vincent” I looked at him and he did at me. “You believe me, right…?” He looked at me for a while and then nodded. “Yes. Because there is fear in your eyes, but not the one which people have when they lie-- rather the one which people have when they are unsure the other would believe the truth or not”

“I silenced it. I…didn’t want to believe that you would stoop so low after everything I’ve done for you.” “After everything…” I start to laugh. It isn’t funny, but he honestly thinks he did me some kind of favour. “You tortured me.” “I tried to save you.” I ignore the statement. I’ve heard it one time too many. “Please. Take my hands. Let me show you.” “If this is some kind of trick--” “It’s not,” I quickly interrupt. “Listen to your intuition, what does it say?” For a long time, Innocent doesn’t move or say anything. I’m about to give up and leave when he relents. “Okay…but only to satisfy my own curiosity.”

His forehead shone under the lamp light, reflecting it. I hate him. It was hate at first sight. “Is there a reason that you guys would want to come onto two innocent teenage girls in the middle of the night and made an attempt to man-handle them?” I raised an eyebrow to question him and he filed his nails in mock casualty. He shrugged, seeming calm about the fact that I just beat two of his men unconscious. “We were just passing by and saw you girls looking a bit lonely. We just wanted to offer some companion.” He feigned innocence and my eyes turned into slits.

If I were in his place, I would laugh even louder, so kudos to him for playing the role. Yet, a moment later, I take his words as a wonderful opportunity of playing the role of the innocent fool. “Hey! What is that supposed to mean?” I cross my arms in front of my chest and frown. Fenton raises his hands and turns around, now walking backwards, as he grins at me and shakes his head. “Nothing, absolutely nothing, my friend.” With those words, he turns around again and focuses on the path ahead. I huff and puff, pretending that his words hurt my ego. The funniest part is that this guy actually caught my bait and swallowed it whole. I’m not as dumb as he thinks I might be.

Her dying breaths were just words to blame her as she was innocent. Samantha tried to slow down her breathing. She must plan carefully. She won’t let Ruby get away with this. Samantha pretended to sob and ran into Eric’s arm and said, “I don’t know what I did to you, or… what I ever done to you, so why are you always trying to humiliate me?” Ruby thought that Samantha was good at putting up her innocence. She is making it sound like Ruby is attacking her. Pretending to be weak and bullied by Ruby.

"Don't play innocent!" Once again, Fathia furrows her brows. "Play innocent?" She mumbles softly. "What kind of innocence?" Adjusting her glasses that are sliding down due to her slightly oily face and the dampness of sweat, she decides to pick up the notes. Before she can reach it, though, Ineke kicks the notes away.

"You are so unpredictable. You are sure a complete man. You astound me. And you are so bullheaded and arbitrary....." " I am not!" " And so kind and gentle. And you are a magnificent love." "Really?" " Umm. And you scared me to death, rushing out to investigate when Minny said there was trouble. And you snarled at the poor man." " That......poor man?" " You're supposed to lie still and pretend to be asleep when someone invades your house." " Horsefeathers." Horsefeathers? where did you find that word?" "Penny forbids Mac to say anything vulgar. We have become quite inventive in expressing ourselves while keeping within her limitations. Mac you see, says he picked up on words and repeats them
