Novel & Cerita Lies Deception Quotes

She asks; a hint of desperation in her voice. I shake my head, “It’s not that simple. Yesterday if you had gone to the Delegation telling them your version of the story of Gaius they’d only feel truth from you because you believed it was true, so for you that made it so. But they lived during that time, so they know for a fact that wouldn’t be true. So I could scream my innocence, but they may just see it as me believing my own lie so much that it reads as truth. Even the truth is subjective and flawed,” I say bitterly.

Sienna The truth doesn't cost you anything, but a lie costs you everything. That’s what they say, but in my case, both could cost me everything. Both will destroy my life. Lies kill relationships, but the truth will kill mine, too. Maybe I’m making a stupid decision—actually, I know I am—but sometimes stupid decisions save lives. At least, I hope so.

“That’s…” He shook his head slowly. “I wish I’d seen that.” I laughed softly. “It wasn’t nearly as dramatic as you’re imagining.” “I doubt that.” I continued anyway. “I walked them through everything.” “The fake infertility report.” “The domestic violence allegation.” “The financial fraud.” “The manipulation.” “The conspiracy.” I swallowed. “And then I ended by telling them…” I looked directly at him. “‘The truth does not become a lie simply because someone famous tells it.’” The room became very quiet.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, he would still be deceiving me. Tears streamed down my face as I sat by the tall window, staring blankly at the message he had sent me. [Honey, I love you. Did you miss me today?] I didn't want to reply. The message existed, but how much of the sentiment was genuine? During his trips, he would always send me these texts to affirm his love. But now I knew they were just part of his good husband act. Soon, my phone rang with that familiar ringtone. Seeing "Husband" on the screen, I felt an overwhelming wave of irony.

With a soft click that sounded like a lock, he simply watched as I walked in and shut the door. I felt cold, even though the fire in the study was warm. With the folder between us like a trap, Alexander leaned back in his chair and held a glass. "Elena, do you know what the worst thing about liars is?" I looked him in the eye. "That they hold onto their lies long enough for them to seem plausible." A ghost of approval—or derision—twitched his lips. "No. They forget that someone is always watching, which is their worst weakness. Always recording. You can appear agitated and irresponsible and still believe that no one is looking. However, the walls here are unforgiving.”

If something had been engineered — if a family had built a marriage on a lie, on a swapped presence and a forged bond and two decades of careful management — I was going to dismantle it piece by piece. Every record. Every document. Every careful, buried, expensive truth. I was going to pull it all into the light. I picked up the glass. Finished what was in it in one motion. Set it back down on the table without a sound. "If something is really going on." I said it to the glass. To the room. To the five years that sat behind me like a closed door I was about to take off its hinges. "I'm going to know." Lucien looked at me across the table.

The atmosphere changed subtly. Jessica, “You lied to me.” About each and every thing. Also your f*ing soul, also your intentions, also your past. “You pretended that you would play everyone else while playing me.” Jessica’s smile faltered. “Adrian, you did not come with a halo also.” “No,” I agreed. “I never pretended to do so, though.” Innocence was like the accessory which you wore. Perfumed your deceit. You thought I would not notice you dressed manipulation in silk and smiles.

“He’ll deny it, of course. Loudly and desperately, but the thing about this kind of situation is that every word will make him look even more guilty.” Edrick laughed… that dry, cynical sound of his. “You’re good. You make poison sound like poetry.” “Poetry moves people,” I said. “Poison just finishes the job.” He crossed his arms. “And what happens when the truth manages to find its way out? When someone looks closely and figures out the forgeries?” I met his gaze steadily. “By then, no one will care. Once a lie tastes better than the truth, no one will hurriedly spit it out.”

I ask, my tone sharp. "What?" he asks, watching me closely. "You were amazed that I can identify nature," I remind him. "So, I sense you are not Time at all. You are Deception." His smile fades slightly before he chuckles softly, nodding his head in approval. "Nice one. You are intelligent. You are right," he admits. "But you should still believe what I have told you." I scoff. "Tell me why I should believe a liar? Am I crazy?" I challenge, my eyes never leaving him.

I ask with a growl, Jordan was right, I should see the other guy now, and Jordan is right he's in a much worse shape. "I see, you've sold me for this new guy," Joshua says sounding hurt, but it's fake hurt, he's lying, he's a good liar, always been one. "We were never a thing Joshua," I say annoyed with him, looking down at Jordan, he's still asleep, I don't want him to hear this. "But it didn't feel that way holding you," he says making me growl, he's making things up now. "Stop making things up!" I say, he's trying to gaslight me.
