I Lied Mga Nobela at Kwento

"When I handed Jil over to you, you promised to love and protect her. Have you forgotten? Only a few years in, and this is what we get! We may be old, but we're not dead!" Harvey dared not cry out in pain and only grunted softly every time the spatula struck. He wanted to explain himself, only to open his mouth and close it again. "Just go. We don't want you getting hurt and blaming it on us later." Holding the spatula, Dad was about to close the door when Harvey, who had stayed silent the whole time, lunged forward and jammed his hand in the frame. "Please, let me talk to Jilian. I have something to tell her. I know that I've messed up, and I'm here to make things right. Please let me talk

But I also knew that if I couldn't convince her to listen to me in the next few minutes, she was going to walk out of this room and straight into a trap that would destroy her life. "You're right," I said quietly. "I lied about more than just money. I lied because I was a coward who was afraid that if you knew the truth about who I was, you would see me as just another rich man trying to buy your affection." "So instead, you decided to manipulate my emotions by pretending to be humble and struggling? That's supposed to be better?" "No, it's not better. It was stupid and selfish and wrong, and I've regretted it every day since yo

I release the breath I’d been holding. There. Everything's fine. And then… Lloyd steps through the door. “Is this how you greet your brother?”

I lied. The expression on his face changed.

I couldn’t tell anyone the truth. So I did the only thing I could. I lied. “We’re dating,” I said. The words felt strange and heavy in my mouth. But also… real in a way that scared me. Lila went quiet. Just stared at me. “Dating?” she repeated slowly. “I honestly thought you were joking or hit your head the last time you told me this” I nodded, forcing myself to keep a straight face. “Yes.” “Since when?” she asked. “Recently,” I replied quickly. “How recently?” she pushed.

They didn’t accept consequences. They destroyed things. People. Lives. Until they got their way. A small hand touched my cheek. I looked down immediately. Liam. His eyes were wide. Confused. Scared. “Mommy?” I forced a smile. A weak one. But enough. “I’m okay, baby.” The lie tasted bitter. Because I wasn’t okay. Not even close. For years, I had convinced myself nobody would believe me. Nobody saw. Nobody knew. And now an entire hall was hearing the truth.

Not like I'm in deep trouble with the mafia, and definitely not like I'm working undercover. So I used the safest lie I had. “I’m… fake-dating someone.”

That I was her mate. " Fine, I... I lied," I confessed, at last, my voice was quiet."The whole 'we're bonded' thing isn't true. I don't even know you. But letting them think I didn't give a fuck about you? Nope, couldn't do it. And I wasn't about to say I hit you with my car. I had to play it off, cook up some kind of story.It's just... I didn't want to seem like the bad guy." Her eyes grew wide, and I saw her take in my words like a blow to the stomach. She looked at me still, as the weight of what I'd just revealed struck her.

And I did the one thing I had never done, before. I lied. “I promise.” Maxwell looked me over for a long moment, and then finally nodded, but I could see it in his eyes — he didn’t believe me. And the worst part? Neither did I.

Winds blew my black not so long hair after I stepped outside for the first time after almost two hours inside the train. We gathered in circles, divided by the Edge we came from then a guy wearing a suit appeared in front of us. He’s old and has beard all over his face. “Welcome to the Center, Liars!” he shouted. Liars, that’s what we’re called, the participants of this stupid game.
