Lie With Me A Novel Novels & Stories

He asked. "No. I did not like him" "Liv, what are you saying?” Conrad asked, his voice filled with sadness. I avoided his gaze and instead met the guard's eyes. I deserved to die not him but Lia chipped in. "Being in love doesn't mean you would lie for him. We both know Conrad did it. No need to lie, "Lia said. I turned to look at her with a raised eyebrow. What was she trying to do? Why was she lying?

"Scarlett, go ahead and use mine—the one in a black bottle." Lily, who had been lying on the upper bunk, poked her head out from behind the curtain with a look of disdain, interrupting my attempt to explain. Scarlett smiled gratefully at her, then glanced at me with a little sneer and went back to drying her hair. Lily was the most well-off in our dorm, and when it came to Scarlett's relentless demands, she was always generously willing to fulfill them, throwing a sneer at me and Jasmine for being petty, accusing us of not being helpful at all.

"How does it feel to know that you've been left in the dark about everything? Not only did that whore of a mother of yours hide this from you, but so did that beta that pretended to be your father. Your whole life has been a lie." Clutching the bars in front of me, I tried to remain calm as each one of Brailyn's words slapped me. She was right. I had been lied to my entire life. Everything leading up to this very moment was a lie. But that still didn't mean that I had to believe that Brailyn was my sister. "You still doubt?" Brailyn asked as if reading my thoughts. "Even if I did believe you, it wouldn't change how I feel about you." I pointed out. "But then again, if you are my sister, why

I felt my throat close up as fresh tears slipped down my cheeks, my chest aching so badly I could barely breathe. “She’s lying to you, Noah,” I whispered desperately, reaching for his arm. “Selene is manipulating you, she hates me, she wants to ruin everything between us, please, you have to believe me—” “Stop it,” he snapped, his voice rising slightly before he caught himself and lowered it again, but the cold anger was still there, heavy and unforgiving. “I’m not stupid, Lia. Selene has been honest with me from the beginning, she was the only one who was there for me when I needed her the most, when you were too busy sleeping with that monster.”

She placed a small notebook at the base of the headstone. Inside were pages of her,her pain, her joy, their memories. A legacy. A goodbye. A start. As she walked away, the wind picked up again. And somewhere, in the silence between her footsteps, she swore she heard him say her name. Soft. Warm. Home. End of chapter 10 End of when love lies.

I rubbed my temples, pacing my room as the weight of his betrayal pressed down on me. “It doesn’t make sense,” I muttered to myself. “He’s gay. He told me... he told me he loved me.” Lie. All of it. Lies. The realization hit like a punch to the gut. Liam had lied about everything. About us. About the future he told me he dreamed of. And now, he was engaged to her? My throat tightened as I thought of Sophia, with her perfect smile and flawless reputation. The world adored her. Of course, they did. She was everything I wasn’t—safe, polished.

The pain of the past few months, the tension that had seeped into every interaction, the quiet suffering of my mate—all of it had been built upon a foundation of sand, upon a lie that had served only Adrian’s twisted ambitions. My heart almost flew out of my mouth at hearing this news, not instant happiness, but happiness that rose slowly. It was the slow, steady warmth of a thaw, the realization that the obstacle that had threatened to tear the fabric of my bond with Selena was entirely manufactured, a phantom threat dispelled by a single, desperate admission. The relief was intoxicating—but it was quickly overshadowed by a cold, searing rage against the author of this deceit. Adrian. Lilit

He sighed, a sound of disappointment, the kind a parent might make when a child refuses to understand something simple. “It’s because you’re my wife I’m asking you,” he murmured, reaching out to tuck a stray piece of hair behind my ear. His fingertips grazed my skin, and I wanted to scream, to claw at him, but I stayed frozen. “I trust you, Leylie. I know your heart belongs to me. This isn’t about sex. It’s about loyalty. It’s about proving you’re willing to do whatever it takes for our future.” "It’s about a lie," I countered. “You want me to take pictures? Videos? You want me to ruin a stranger’s life just so you can win a business deal?”

"To keep being your perfect little wife? To put on a show for the world about how happy we are, so you can go screw Sophia with a clear conscience?" Vincent fell silent. "There is no 'us' anymore, Vincent," I said, my voice suddenly quiet. "I hate you. I hate your lies, I hate your hypocrisy, and I hate that I ever loved you." I turned and walked into the bedroom, locking the door behind me. I heard the sound of something smashing against the door, followed by the front door slamming shut. I collapsed onto the bed, feeling completely hollowed out. Just then, my laptop chimed with a new email notification.
