Lies We Steal Novels & Stories

My boyfriend's mother had Alzheimer’s. She constantly mistook my best friend for her son's girlfriend. I lost count of how many times I tried to explain that I was his actual girlfriend, but within minutes, she would forget everything, grab my best friend’s hand, and call her a family. Out of sheer helplessness, my boyfriend had no choice but to tell my best friend to pretend to be his girlfriend. She comforted me at the time, saying, “Don’t worry, it’s all just an act.” My boyfriend promised me as well, saying, “As soon as my mother’s condition stabilizes, we’ll get engaged.” I ended up waiting three long years. During the first Christmas, my best friend stood in my spot for the family

“But I can't believe you could stoop so low as to steal a precious jewel.” Somebody hold me. Because if that girl said one more word, I might actually commit a crime in this very manor. Lilia held onto Zoe's hands. “Please forgive her. My sister has always been impulsive when she wants something. Perhaps she simply lost control of herself.” “If anyone says more words about how I stole the useless necklace, I'll beat them up!” I ascertained. Zoe stepped forward. “But you stole it!” “If I wanted jewelry, why would I steal and hide it in my own drawer?”

Seconds before the crash, my best friend, Nora Sinclair, threw herself over me to protect me. When she woke up, she'd lost her memory and mistook my fiancé, Julian Pierce, for her boyfriend. There were five of us in our friend group, and for the sake of her recovery, we decided it would be best to play along with the mistake.

"Mr. Lane, are you here to see Sophie? She is currently abroad, but I'm her roommate. You can tell me if you need anything." She paused, her eyes welling on cue, then pointed at me. "By the way, Mr. Lane, you probably don't know who she is. Her name is Eve. She uses the fact that she shares your last name to pass herself off as part of your family on campus. She even stole Sophie's Chanel purse. I saw it myself. You need to look into her."

Lila whispered, “we have power. They will need us, and we will be the ones in charge.” “And if they ask?” Elena said. “We can say Kael took them he is the stranger here, after all.” My heart sank. They did not just want to lead they wanted to lie and blame others to get what they wanted. Maya and I stepped out from the shadows. “Stealing is not power,” I said clearly. “And lies only make the darkness stronger.” Alexus and Kael woke at once, standing ready. Lila jumped back, her face turning red. She quickly changed her story. “I was only checking! I noticed things were missing too maybe he took them.” She pointed straight at Kael.

I had originally planned to leave him some dignity, but since he didn't appreciate it, I wasn't going to hold back anymore. I compiled everything that had happened over the past two days into a document. The arguments had all been recorded by my smart door lock. Since the neighbors wanted the gossip, I might as well give them the full story. I uploaded all the evidence I'd organized. The group chat exploded once again. [People like this actually exist? If he's that worried about privacy, why is he ordering delivery in the first place?] [Exactly. He's pretending it's about privacy, but he's obviously trying to scam free meals without the restaurant owners knowing where he lives.]

I frowned, feeling a knot form in the pit of my stomach. "What do you mean?" I asked, my voice tinged with apprehension. Lily hesitated, her hands fidgeting nervously in her lap. "I'm not just an escort," she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm a thief." My heart skipped a beat at her words, disbelief washing over me. "What?" I exclaimed, my mind reeling. "Why are you telling me this now?" Lily bit her lip, her eyes darting around nervously. "Because I need your help," she admitted, her voice trembling. "I'm in trouble, Sean. Big trouble." I felt a surge of panic course through me, but I pushed it aside, focusing on Lily's words. "What kind of trouble?" I asked, my voice steady

Lisa said. “Then check her supplies,” Luna Alaia said in an irritating tone. Victoria brought over my supplies, and Lisa rummaged through them. I knew this time around I couldn’t escape this lie. She would find the necklace and probably have me executed for stealing it. “You’re nervous,” Luna Alaia said. “I wonder why when there’s nothing to hide.” Lisa should’ve found it by now.
