Life After Lie Novels & Stories

A sob came out, but she bit her lip and forced it back down. I crouched until our eyes were level. "You still have a chance. Leave Central University and start over somewhere else. Stop staring at what other people have. Pay attention to what you still have." I stood up and walked away. Behind me, her sobs faded into the evening wind. By the time I passed through the university gates, night had fallen. The streetlights stretched the trees' shadows into thin lines. I sighed and the last weight in my chest eased. My phone lit up with a text message from Sophie: [Check your email now!]

Greg, Lily, Riona, could only stare in shock, the weight of what had transpired sinking in. As the officers moved in to secure the scene and call for paramedics, the relief of having survived the ordeal mingled with the heaviness of all that had been lost. Two years had passed, and Lily found herself living a life filled with love and happiness. She had married Greg, and together they had welcomed another child into their family – a boy they had through surrogacy. Their family felt complete, and the memories of the past, though not forgotten, had begun to fade, replaced by moments of joy and laughter.

5 After that fire, although I managed to survive, my body and the artificial eye suffered irreparable damage. I was severely injured and the doctor regretfully told me that I had less than a month to live. I nodded, then gave up on continuing treatment at the hospital. In my final days, I didn’t want to become an ICU patient with missing teeth and a bald head. So I bought a ticket and returned to the old house where I used to live with my mother. After so many years away, the place was overrun with weeds and cobwebs.

Eventually, we reached a mutually agreeable compromise, setting aside any lingering grievances. Lastly, we turned our attention to the matter of a suitable getaway vehicle—a crucial element to ensure a smooth escape after the assassination. Silence, renowned for his vast network of connections, assured me that he would provide an inconspicuous, untraceable car for our purposes.

Our assassins will vanish without leaving a trace."

"Take my life if it makes you feel better." He closed his eyes as he waited for a second shot. But it never came. "Your life is filthy. I don't want it." I tossed the gun aside and headed upstairs. "Salvatore, from this day on, our paths will never cross again."

And somewhere far away, Perhaps Ethan was smiling. Because after everything they survived, After every lie. Every secret. Every heartbreak. Every battle. The contract had ended. But their story was only beginning. THE END ❤️

Then, he opened the flash drive I left behind and played the recordings. "You really think the Alpha would fall for someone as boring as you? I was never poisoned. I'm not dying. I made it all up. You'd be better off kneeling and begging me." It was Ruby's voice, dripping with malice and mockery. And then came my gentle, soft voice. "Caleb, if I'm no longer around, promise me you'll take care of yourself. Be happy." That was the final blow. Caleb collapsed to the ground, wailing in grief. After a moment, he wiped his tears away, a deadly calm settling into his eyes.

I snapped back irritably, "Did you forget? You couldn't even tell what was left of me when you went to collect my body! So what are you still unsure about?" Laurel let out a long sigh. "I remember. You were basically mush. I had nightmares for days after that." Vita frowned. "We're not doubting whether you were killed. We're just not sure how you still got labeled a fraud when you're the real heiress." Who the hell knew? The four of us put our heads together and still couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. Laurel started sniffling. "What do we do now? The only ones whose ages match are the four of us. There aren't any other candidates. With that psycho family, I honestly think if no

“Landon I don't want to go back I don't want to survive I want to die.” “I'm sorry Lilly it's just not your time you have so much to do in your life. It has a lot of purpose. Your life is going to be extraordinary. Just believe in yourself.” “I am marked by the Alpha, and pregnant he has gotten what he wanted his heir he will know that I am alive, how will I escape him without him finding me.” “Lilly you died, the mark was broken once your heart stopped beating you are free. You need to believe in yourself, stop all of this nonsense and start living. This baby is your family, a part of you.”

"Congratulations—on raising someone else's child." With that, I turned and walked away. Behind me, Silas erupted into a hoarse scream. "Impossible! That's impossible! Ariana, you lied to me—you lied, didn't you?! Ahhhhh! Come back! Ariana, come back!" His voice grew weaker and weaker, likely drowned out as the police restrained him.
