She had never heard of him or his company, but the hefty retainer f*e he offered to plan his charity gala was too enticing to res

she said in her sugary voice. Macie shouldered past me on her way out, sending me sprawling to the floor. I crashed down, tears streaming uncontrollably. Adrian loomed over me, tilting my face up to his. "Liliana, this little scene? It's nothing compared to the hell I went through. Remember the divorce papers I got in jail?" I was drowning in tears, but I had to try one more time. "Adrian, I swear I didn't know about those papers. It was my mother—"

“He would believe it.” “Of course he would.” My eyes gleamed. “Because he already wants to.” I moved to my desk, pulling a drawer open. Inside lay sealed vials, each filled with a different ink — some tainted with Seraphin blood, others with shadow essence. I selected one, the red glinting faintly in the candlelight. “This,” I said, holding it up, “is how we bind truth to lies. Even a Lord’s gaze cannot tell the difference when the blood sings the right note.”

“So I misunderstood that this guy is your friend. And I misunderstood that you guys are engaged and want to get married. And I'm sure I got it wrong, too, that you were just lying to me the whole time.” She held up her hands in a soothing manner. "I didn't lie to you..." "No, you didn't," he interrupted, his tone now caustic. 'You just kept a few things secret, that's something else entirely, of course. A little secret here, a little swindle there—none of that bad.” “Let me at least explain how it happened,” she pleaded desperately. "Well, I'm really looking forward to it. What are you going to tell me this time?" He smiled cynically: "You can skip that, you don't seriously expect that I'll

Chapter Two: The Truth Hurts I sat in the dim living room, my body trembling, my chest so heavy it felt like I couldn’t breathe. Tears kept falling, no matter how hard I tried to stop them. I thought I was strong. I thought I could handle anything. But nothing had ever hurt like this. Adrian. The man I loved. The man I trusted. The man I had built my life around. Had been lying to me all along. I went to his office today to surprise him, to remind him that we were still a team. That after everything, we were still us.

He asks in a calm tone, ink slams his hand down on the table getting closer to the phone. "They're not your wife and daughter, you killed them remember, now you're just playing pretend family to forget about them! But Anthony, they're not Layla and Gabbie you know that right!" Ink shouts losing his tempter, Anthony pauses for a second which makes ink move away from the phone "this isn't good" he whispers, looking at Blake and Jacob.

A doctor rubbed his nose awkwardly as he spoke, “I’m sorry, I’m Mary’s doctor. Someone sent her to the hospital earlier. I held on to her phone just in case. “She’s having a seizure, and she’s in a critical condition. She’s losing blood from her physical injuries, too. We’re trying our best to save her, but the prognosis is poor. “If you’re her family members, please quickly come over. There are a few documents that you’d need to sign.” Then, the doctor aimed the camera at the hospital bed. John’s eyes immediately widened. “What do you mean… “You must be an actor! You’re lying to me, right?” He took a deep breath and glared at me angrily. “Helen, I didn’t think you’d stoop this low. How dare

the driver asked respectfully. I leaned back, closing my eyes. My father’s gentle smile surfaced in my mind. "Home," I said softly. "Pick up my dad. We’re spending the New Year in Azure Bay." The convoy began to move, dust rising behind us. Later, I heard that the Murrell family became the biggest joke in the area. Drake was buried in debt, wandering around the village muttering that he was married to the richest woman alive. Meanwhile, Diana lost everything over the fake silver bracelet incident. In the end, she suffered a stroke and was left bedridden, with no one to care for her.

The screen went dark and I went back to scrubbing the sheets. The next morning, my phone woke me up by vibrating more than a dozen times. Still half asleep, I opened it and found a long string of messages from my roommates, with a link at the top. The headline read: [Shocking news! The truth about Central University's wealthy heiress and her maid! Is the girl always beside Sophie an impostor?]

“You’re good at pretending.” Her smile widens, icy. “Years of practice.” I inhale deeply and my eyes close briefly at her body scent. She smells like vanilla, not the oud kind, the soft scent that makes you want to lick it. I compose myself quickly before she notices. I wonder what is wrong with me. Why does this lady draw me in this much? As the night drags on, I do what I always do. Talk business with people who want to ‘invest’ in the company. I knew most of them were wolves who just wanted to stick their noses around and weren’t actually interested in investing, but I played along.
