Novel & Cerita Gaslighting Isn't Real

“Are you sure your mind isn’t playing tricks on you? You’ve been under an unusual amount of pressure lately.” My pulse spiked. She wasn’t even trying to hide it anymore. She was gaslighting me—and enjoying every second of it. “I know what you’re doing,” I said. “You’re building a case against me. Whispering lies into the ears of board members. Spreading rumors. Playing victim.” “You forgot protecting your husband,” she said softly. “The man you were too busy to see. Too cold to touch. You abandoned him long before I ever stepped in.” I almost slapped her. But instead, I smiled.

"Mr. Blackwood is testifying about matters he has no knowledge of. Ms. Martinez Dante believed herself to be an orphan because she was told this by the foster system. She had no knowledge of her biological family until three days ago." "Sustained," Judge Eddie said. "Mr. Blackwood, stick to facts you can personally verify." Richard clenched his jaw, then continued. “Over the last few months, my wife became paranoid. She accused me and her friend of plotting against her. She became convinced that people were trying to hurt her." Sophia's fingernails dug into her palm. The gaslighting was so smooth, so practiced. How many times had he done this to her? Made her doubt her own perceptions, made

She shouted. “Do I have to remind you of the basis of what we had and how it started? It was all fake from the start and it only went so far because you wanted it. What we had never existed and you know that so don’t create issues and let it just end,” I retorted. She scoffed. “I’d rather eat rock than let you gaslight me.” “You speak like we were ever dating,” I countered. “We did! It was real for me and you knew it and that’s why I did everything that you wanted from me!”

I told her calmly because I didn't want to lose my cool. "You can't accuse me of not wanting to know what is going on in the business. I asked you but you refused to tell me because your mother also..." She made quotes in the air. "Told you that I am a gold digger which you swallowed hook, line and sinker. So don't give me that trash, it is called gaslighting and I don't want that." She slammed her hands against my desk.

“I’m not telling you’re lying though. Allow me to tell you this one thing. Moon magic deals with emotions and manipulating them. I have this kind of spell which makes a person more open, so they’ll be more willing to tell me secrets.” “No, you’re not…” he said, both sounding and looking horrified. “A truth spell.” “Not quite. People won’t tell me anything they wouldn’t normally, but they will be more talkative about what they really think. Would you like me to test it on you?” “Don’t screw with me!”

he cried rubbing Kaleah’s sore cheek. “See this is why I want you to listen to me, when you don’t I get angry and end up hurting you, please my love just listens, just allow me to love you.” He continues to gaslight her, but it doesn’t stop her from feeling fear, “just… please…. Let me go.” She begs, “my husband must be worried sick about me.” “Worried, you think a proud man would worry for a woman who ran off with her lover?” he mocked, “he is probably looking for you angrily trying to kill you for humiliating him.”

They wanted nothing more than to tear him apart now. Only then did he realize that the things he had up until that moment were temporary and unreal. Sitting across from me, Lucas dug into a bowl of peanuts as he clicked his tongue in amazement. "Way to weed out the problem at its root, Damian! Look at them, tearing into each other like ferocious dogs. This is even better than daytime television!" I chuckled and sipped my coffee. "This is just a preview of what's about to come."

I choked out, "Jake, is it really you? Are you Jake?" He woke up completely then, reaching over to switch on the bedside lamp. Concern filled his eyes as he asked me, "Of course, it's me. What's with the waterworks, babe?" I touched his face with trembling fingers, feeling the warmth of his skin to reassure myself this wasn't a dream. "I think… I had a really, really long nightmare. In it, you disappeared, and nobody in the world remembered you. I even married someone else—" Jake laughed softly and pulled me into his arms. "You silly fool. Dreams are always the opposite of reality. I'm right here. I've always been here."

His phone soon started ringing again and I watched with delight as he picked up in fear and spoke in a tiny voice. When he moved his phone away from his ear, I folded my hand and watched the drama unfold before me. “Dad, it’s not true! That video is not real!” He tried to lie his way out as he has always done. The same way he had tried to gaslight me into believing that he wasn’t the one trying to steal my company. Such a fucking liar. “I swear dad, I would never do something like that.” He denied. “The video is fake! The notes are fake! Don’t believe anything father.”

"You're really going with gaslighting the entire household?" "I prefer to think of it as collaborative fiction," Deja replied, massaging her temples. "Look, can we all agree that whatever embarrassing, undignified, possibly career-ending thing I did last night was just a shared hallucination? Perhaps a gas leak? Carbon monoxide poisoning is very common in wealthy households." Mrs. Moreau placed a plate in front of Deja. On it was toast cut into the shape of a heart, with perfectly scrambled eggs in the center. Deja stared. "Why does my breakfast look like it's about to propose to me?"
