Four Faced Liar Nyc の小説・ストーリー

The city disappeared beyond the windows. The rain softened into background noise. Lois recovered first. "You got lost." Walter blinked. "What?" She approached with a smile. "The financial district is four miles that way." A faint crease appeared between his brows. "I'm aware." "Then why is New York's busiest billionaire standing inside a bookstore on a Tuesday afternoon?" Walter looked entirely too calm. "I came for my coat." Lois glanced toward the hook behind the counter. The coat that had been visible from the entrance.

That sentence was like a match struck in a cold, rainy night, quietly igniting the heart that Dario’s betrayal had frozen solid. I nodded firmly, a cold smirk touching my lips. "Don't worry. I won't let anyone look down on me." The airport was chaotic. I blended in with a few other "tourists"—likely people laying low or running from debt—and boarded the red-eye to Palermo. Through the porthole, the Manhattan skyline glittered in the twilight like a soul-eating monster. At this moment, was Dario back home looking for me? Or was he still holding Sophia's hand at that private clinic, comforting his fragile mistress?

“Laura, I really know I was wrong. I love you—I can’t live without you!” I calmly removed part of my clothing. The skin that was once fair was now charred black from the fire. I asked him, “Is this your way of loving me?” Jack’s face instantly contorted with pain. He cried and held me tightly. “Laura, please, forgive me just this once. I’ll do anything you say!” I thought of my mother’s face. “Then give me back my mother’s ashes.” Jack suddenly collapsed, his face turning ashen. “Laura... that... I can’t do.”

I spent more than forty days lying in the basement, counting the days by the scratches carved into the wall. When I was hungry, I ate the sour, rotten food they gave me. When I was thirsty, I drank the filthy water. Whenever I felt myself slipping toward unconsciousness, I pinched my own skin with my nails, thinking of my father and Vito, forcing myself to stay awake. Then, one day, someone yanked me roughly to my feet. “Damn it, what’s your relationship with the Don?” Bill looked panicked. “Aren’t you the traitor?” I smiled. “What’s wrong?”

“For now.” “Keep driving,” I say. My voice is harder than I intend it to be. I can’t afford to sound afraid. Not when they’re watching me. We find ourselves in a deserted basement parking lot under some old office house. The air is smelling of oil and rain. Leo kills the engine. There is a heavy silence between us. Carina’s the first to speak. “Dante… who are these people?” I stalling, my hands gripping the steering wheel. I have long been evading this fact. “They’re not police. They’re hired guns. And the man that sent them... his name Lorenzo DeVane.

Taking in a deep breath, I re-open my eyes, to see that the game has continued. "Never have I ever... lied to my best friend," Finn says and I raise my eyebrows. I half-expect him to look at Alec, but his eyes are on Miles. Miles takes a sip, keeping a blank expression on his face. I see that Alec does as well, but Finn's attention isn't on him. "Never have I ever... smoked or taken any illegal drugs." Becca pipes up. I smile at her. Pretty much everyone, besides me and Becca, takes a drink. Even Jai, which surprises me.

he said. She looked up. “Yes?” “Is he registered?” Elijah asked. “No,” she said. She did not look surprised. “Some people attend after seeing flyers or hearing about us from someone else. They come in waves sometimes. They disappear in waves too.” “He said he lied to get in.” She nodded once. “He did. Some people lie because they are not ready to speak the truth yet.” “He unsettled the group.” She tilted her head. “Especially you.” Elijah did not deny it. “He was loud.”

“Sonnet, do you know about Harbor City’s Big Four?” “Yes, I know about them. What’s the matter?” “My cousin saw Hayden Gunn, who’s part of Harbor City’s Big Four, in North City!”

his hoarse voice cracked. I did not speak again. I heard him sigh very loud and deep before pulling himself up. He struggled to stand up, as if he was very weak. My lips parted, but I stopped myself from talking. Slowly, he went behind me, and pushed my wheelchair towards the elevator. The cold and harsh wind kissed my face as soon as we got in the rooftop. He looked at me, so weak and lifeless. I lifted my chin. “Tell me everything.” I saw how he swallowed hard. Is he having a hard time confessing about his lies, or he's hesitating because he doesn't want to let me go? I will choose the latter, but I don't wanna get my hopes so high again.

"Your meaning could be a little clearer. Would it be able to be that Linda didn't end it all? In any case, didn't the police hold a public interview about it?" "For what reason do I have an inclination that the lies of the New York police is going to be uncovered? The present demise broadcast will be particularly insane and touchy!" "These little mongrels! In the event that they're the supervisors, I'll be the manager of New York City!" "Good! You're really great. You're the President of the United States. Good!"
