Novel & Cerita Icarus Deception

She hissed when her head hit the wall with force accidentally. “And even at that time, you were successful in deceiving me, and you did the same thing today.”, I growled at her. “Don’t you know everything is fair in love and war?”, She asked, sensually touching my lips with her thumb. “The war was called off at the moment when you gave a new life, and I won’t mind deceiving you again and again and again and again to listen to those three words from your mouth which you haven’t said to me directly, looking straight into my eyes.”, She said and licked her lips with the tips of the tongue, touching my chin which her thumb.

Who would have thought that beneath that innocent, beautiful face lay a cunning, deceitful woman? When the ceremony ended and the priest told me to kiss my bride, my eyes slowly scanned her face, and I couldn’t help gazing at her red, luscious lips. As I crossed the small space between us, I found it hard to accept that her lips were as sweet and soft as I’d imagined them to be. The way her eyes widened in surprise when I kissed her told me she was good at pretending to be an inexperienced kisser. I felt the urge to lengthen and deepen the kiss but when I felt her respond, moaning softly, I realized I had to stop my delusions. I shouldn’t be feeling this way toward this bitch. She may look i

Kairos was standing still, his back to the room, staring out into the outside world beyond. The confirmation of Lucan's deception, the spoofed tracker originating from Velmora, Silas's report of being dismissed from the island all of it pointed to one undeniable truth. In all his years, he would never think that Lucan Vale, his loyal lapdog, would ever betray him under any circumstances.

I felt like I needed it right now. Finally, my nerves calmed to normal. I offered him a nervous smile, and he responded with a flirty eyebrow raise. “Misunderstandings, um, Alpha, they are at the very base of all deception. No deceiver can be queen,” Elder Sybil added in a measured tone, setting her palms flat on the table. “The red wolf…” Elder Victor raised, shifting in his chair. “She is th…” Connery cut in adamantly, rising from his chair. “I am,” I stopped Connery, glaring at him. I lifted my chin a fraction, and then I swayed my gaze at Victor and corrected, “I was.”

Nevan hissed, his hand gripping the edge of the console until the metal groaned. "It doesn't kill you," Aris said, a ghastly smile touching his lips. "That would be too kind. The Icarus Strain is a de-compiler. It targets the parts of your DNA that allow you to interface with the Sovereign. It burns through the violet-coding, turning your nervous system into a forest of scarred nerves. You’ll live, Gianna Lane. But you’ll be a prisoner in a body that can no longer hear the stars. And the child..." Aris let out a wheezing laugh. "A god-mind in a brain that can no longer process data? He’ll go mad before he can even speak his own name. His mind will expand, but his flesh will rot."

By the time his soft knock came at her door, she was seated at her desk with legitimate alliance correspondence spread before her, the picture of dedicated partner reviewing strategic documentation. How easy deception has become. How naturally I slip into performance that hides truth behind walls built for protection that feels increasingly like isolation. "Enter," she called, her voice carrying appropriate curiosity rather than the guilt that gripped her chest. Elaric stepped into the study with shadow magic still stirring around his tall frame—evidence of whatever research or planning had kept him occupied during hours when most people sought rest. His pale eyes found hers immediately, ass

"Why should I suffer after being cheated on? Is it really enough for me to just let her leave empty-handed? Maybe that's just what they want so that they could play happy family while I lose everything. If that happens, I will lose both my pride and money." With that thought in mind, I pulled over and bought three packs of the abortion medicine. The man said they were disguised as regular prenatal supplements but had subtle counteracting properties. Even professionals wouldn't be able to tell if anything was wrong with it. Plus, it would be impossible to detect something wrong with the medicine since the effect was slow. When I got home, Vicky was lounging on the sofa in a silk dress. She wa

“Right, but how am I supposed to make myself look 20 years older? There’s only so much I can do, and even then, I doubt it’ll do much.” “I’ve already thought about that. You can just say you have a rare genetic disorder that makes you look younger than you already are.” “This all seems more complicated than simply telling your parents the truth.” “I know, but I enjoy keeping this part of my life a secret. There’s just something thrilling about living a double life. I’ll tell them when I get bored or tired of it.” The next night… He came back at the arranged time and got ready. “Look at you,” Myrine complimented. “I’d be shooting my shot if I was straight and you were a bit older. Don’t compl

But I couldn’t hear him over the blood roaring in my ears. “You…” My voice cracked. “You killed him.” Ethan’s jaw tightened. “It’s not what you think.” Elias chuckled darkly. “Oh, it’s exactly what she thinks.” I spun to Elias. “You knew.” His smirk was slow. “Of course I knew.” My stomach churned. This was a game. A sick, twisted game between devils. And I was the one trapped between them. Elias took a slow step toward me. “You see, sweetheart…” He leaned in, his breath brushing my ear. “You never really escaped me.”

"Remember that you still had guests waiting inside. You must be back inside and finish the wedding ceremony with Vivien." 'Finish that ceremony?' Carter frowned as he thought about that. Even though he didn't want to doubt Vivien, he felt that the video was real. It didn't look like it was manipulated. However, Julia knew about Adam; with Adam's technology, there was a high chance it could be faked. At the same time, Carter was still too confused. But it was hard for him to find someone to identify it as Lilian had destroyed the USB drive. As Lilian said, that was all Julia's conspiracy with her, all aimed to destroy his relationship with Vivien. If Carter looked for someone to appraise it,
