The Orchestrated Lie
“You’ve been lying to me, Stefan. Adrian was the first person to actually admit it out loud. Do you know how humiliating that is?”
He sighed, running a hand through his dark hair. “I haven’t lied to you, Shania. I’ve omitted things, yes. But I’ve never lied.”
“Oh, so that makes it okay?” I shot back. “You’ve been manipulating my life from the beginning, haven’t you? Why? Why me, Stefan?”
He looked at me, his expression unreadable. “Because you were the one,” he said softly.
I laughed bitterly. “The one what? The one with a name that starts with ‘S’? That’s it, isn’t it? I’m just a pawn in whatever twisted plan you’ve been cooking up.”
