Her heart thumping hard, her palms glistening wet, warm tears streaking her cheeks, 13-year-old Callie drew her knees to her chest as she heard her most dreaded footsteps approach nearer.

He is the one person that would give me comfort right now, much more comfort than what my friends are giving me right now. Clay gives me a knowing smile, "Okay, but before I kind of let him in, you have to tell us something…” Clay says, and I shake my head. I groan, already anticipating where this is going. “Nope, I am not telling you anything.” "Come on, Millie!" Ellis pleads, her tone playful but insistent. I know exactly what they want to hear, but I’m not ready to spill those details just yet. I shake my head again.

Nodding Ellis agreed and surprised Atticus by saying that he had been wrong. “I've learned much over the years being alone and that is that love is the strongest power in the universe. I'm sorry I didn't honor you or your mother's love. I've been a sour old goat since I banished her over my pride,” he sighed regretfully. Stepping away from Axel I approached him. “Perhaps we can find her and bring her back. Maybe she misses you too,” I offered, causing Ellis to lower his eyes and exhale deeply. “Can't you just tell her that I would like to speak with her,” he asked Atticus. My lips pursed, curious if my father had told his dad the truth about being abandoned. When Atticus told Ellis that he w

“Master Elion, if I had a boyfriend, do you think I would have run away? I left home yesterday without knowing I would be donating my kidney to the soon-to-be Mrs. Elion. When I arrived, I was dragged to the theatre like a sacrificial lamb. Since the surgery, I’ve been lying here. I’ve never had a phone, nor a chance to contact anyone. Ask Liza, Elion, Henry—they were with her the entire night. How exactly did I contact a boyfriend, Maya? It’s all because of your lies that my husband hated me so much, he sold me off.” A heavy silence fell, broken only by the shallow breaths of the room’s occupants. Elion’s dark gaze bore into Maya, cutting through her smug facade. “Can you shut up? Where is

“Just tired.” He studied me for a long, heavy moment. “No. You’re hiding something.” My throat tightened. “I’m not—” “You are.” His voice cracked with something rawer than anger. “Eliot, talk to me. Don’t let him in.” The plea in his tone was a blade. I couldn’t meet his gaze. “I won’t. I promise.” The lie tasted bitter. Because even as I said it, my phone buzzed against my thigh. And this time, I didn’t show him.

Jason gripped my wrist, “Elissa, we need to talk.” “I don't want to talk to you.” I snapped, wanting to pull my hand away, and ignore the electric sparks between our skins. His eyes remained fixed on me, “You are drunk.” I laughed bitterly, “What does it matter to you? I don't think you want to associate yourself with a thief, since you are the captain of the hockey team.” His expression darkened and a muscle ticked in his jaw, “I heard.” My shoulders sagged, “I'd be surprised if you didn't. Joe dumped me. Everyone, even the coach, hates me. I owe fifty thousand dollars that I didn't steal, and my mother is lying in a hospital bed waiting for medicine I can't afford.”

“Oh, he’s busy right now,“ Ellie’s voice was light and mocking. “Want to leave a message?“ The tears come all at once. He lied. He wasn’t going to be there. “Dawn.“ LJ is there, beside me, taking my face in both hands; they feel cold. “God, what happened?“ Damian reaches for my shoulder, but I shove him off. I don’t want him to touch me. “You said she wasn’t the one who did it,“ I manage to say between gasps. “How could you stand there trying to comfort me when you’re with the person behind all of it?“ “Dawn—“ I can’t breathe. The world has gone quiet, and too-loud sounds are coming through in strange, muffled waves, and the last thing I hear before everything narrows down. “Dawn… Fuck. She

I didn’t realize he was watching me until I’d looked up and met his gaze. “What?” I questioned. “There’s something I need to tell you,” “No, Jefferson. I don’t think I’m interested in hearing any of it.” “Eloise, you deserve an explanation.” I disposed of the blood-stained wipes. “What is it?” “Please, sit.” I took a moment before finally deciding to sit. “I know you don’t trust me and you believe every single word I say is a lie, but what I’m about to tell you is nothing but the truth, I swear it.”

I looked at the screen, at the long fingers now wrapped around a glass of red wine, my voice eerily calm. “Is that so? If your hands are ruined… does it hurt?” “It does,” Landon sighed on the other end, his tone tender. “But when I think about saving your life, it all feels worth it. Stella, I love you.” [Detected male lead’s lie: “Beaten by debt collectors, hands ruined from washing dishes in the kitchen.”] [Lie identified. Reward granted: Brain tumor has completely disappeared.] With the mechanical voice, the searing pain in my head receded like a tide.

She hesitated, peering past me like she could sense something was off. “Are you okay?” I almost confessed right then. Almost blurted it all out, about Jennifer, the blackmail, the photos, the sketches. But shame sealed my lips. “Yeah,” I lied. “Just need to catch up on sleep.” Eloise nodded slowly, like she didn’t quite believe me but didn’t want to push. “Okay. Well… if you need me, I’m here. I will be leaving now, Max is alone.” “Okay. Thanks.”
