Lies My Father Told Me Novels & Stories

"So what? Johnson has made plenty of trash before. If you expect me to throw money at you based on words, you’re crazy." My father smirked, rubbing his hands together. "Then allow me to share a…personal testimony. After all, I too have benefited from this miracle drug." My stomach dropped into a black abyss. "What do you mean?" Asher asked, frowning. "I had a similar experience," my father said, his tone casual—as if telling a joke. "There was a woman once. No matter how much I loved her, she never looked my way. No matter what I did, she ignored me."

" I don't know father " I said not knowing if Girik did it or not but he still believes me as his culprit . " hmm means he just left you without any harm right ? " my father asked again in shock .

“Ah yes, of course. I remember. And you mean to tell me my father was that cold-blooded killer? My father?” I gulp. “I grew up being told it was.” He narrows his eyes at me. “That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard in all my life! My father isn’t a killer. How dare you? Is there one thing that came out of your mouth that wasn’t a lie?”

My breaths were coming out in heavy pants. “Also, that was the very first day I saw the strong-willed man, Shaam—your father cry, holding you very tenderly in his arms," he told me. The mind-boggling information was too detailed to be a lie. My eyes brimmed with tears suddenly at that certain sentence. Because I knew what he said was true.

Apollo’s father stood frozen nearby, his posture stiff, his expression distant, like he was trapped underwater and the world around him was moving too slowly. His eyes widened as he looked at me, disbelief written clearly across his face.

But the thought of sleeping in the sheets that had never known dirt or ash made me feel like an intruder. I thought of my mother and how she died in a bed with an itchy blanket, and then I remembered how she was thrown into a fire and discarded like she was nothing more than rubbish.
