Little White Lies Novels & Stories

Even though I couldn't share revealing details, I told her other minor ones to date her curiosity and tried forming a mixed story of half truths. “He's not from work.” Lie “He’s financially stable.” True. “No you haven't seen him before.” Lie “He recognized me easily.” True, now that I knew the truth about Alexander. “He wants to be in the baby's life.” Truth By the time I was done skirting around it, Malina sighed, cradling the half drained cup of coffee she got on the table. “Maybe this is a sign, you know?” She shrugged. “What sign?” I asked, confusion flitting through me. What could she possibly mean?

“Oh, so you’ve seen the papers, haven’t you?” “You said you were going to contact them to change it.” “I lied,” she answered carelessly. “You know, the same way you lied to Dylan Bass and told him my proposal was yours.” “That’s what this is about?” “What? You think I was just going to let you get away with pulling such a dirty trick? Of course, that’s what this is about? How does it feel to not be given the credit you deserve, Dominic? I bet it’s an amazing feeling.”

"Yes, I always carry them around in my pocket in case the girls that I sleep with cannot sleep." Willow rolled her eyes. "How about we play two truths and one lie?" "What is that?" "You have to say three statements about yourself. Two of them have to be true and one lie. We have to guess which one is a lie. I'll go first." She said and paused for a minute to think. "Okay, here it goes: I once fell off my bike and into a lake; I have fractured my arm twice; I got stung by a bee when I was six and have been afraid of them ever since. Guess which one is the lie."

"Those white lies are for your good. That's what I think" I shake my head and let out a smile that didn't reach my eyes "There's no such thing as white lies Gordon because all lies are dark" A tear escape from my eyes but I held my chin up "Mom lied to me, I thought she was happy but she wasn't because Dad loves someone else and that is Mommy Adie. All along, since the very beginning... I have a broken family"

It tasted of absolutely nothing except mayonnaise. I sat staring out at the darkness rushing past the window while random thoughts kept nudging at the edges of my exhaustion. Missing pieces. New pieces. No pieces at all. There were lies so small they hardly mattered, the sort you could choose to believe or ignore without consequence. Then there were lies that looked harmless on the surface but carried enormous ramifications underneath. And sometimes deception wasn’t about what somebody said—it was about what they deliberately left unsaid. Jock’s lies always hovered dangerously close to the truth.

I explained. A white lie, it is a lie but part of it is the truth. "Mom, why aren't you saying anything? Or is there something you don't want to tell me?" I ask. "Now, the both of you listen to me, Princess, if you don't go and publicly apologize to Kenzo for humiliating you and tell him you will marry him! It wouldn't end well," he warns. "I will take it as an empty threat father, I can't go back to the same man who cheated on me. What is the assurance that he isn't going to do that again?" I ask.

He said to me, causing the smile on my face to widen, but deep within I felt very guilty because I had lied to him. Well, I had told him the truth about getting a job, but I didn't exactly tell him the truth about where exactly the building was located, or the real name of the company, as I was afraid that he was going to search it out online and find out that the company was located in Blenka City. If he eventually found out about that, he was going to stop me, because then, he would understand that the main reason I wanted to go there was because of Michael. Due to that, I had to tell a small white lie to him.

He bargained, there was arrogance in his voice which bruised her ego with a scratch and she keep in mind to crash his. "Oh please, you have nothing I want but I want to because my best friend is also getting married so she dared me to marry too and you are the better candidate at the moment." A little tinge of lie won't hurt would it? She is merely concealing a small secret closed with a white lie, it's not like he will find out anyway.

“Lamp my ass.” “That's the truth.” Nikolai reached for my wrist, pulling me outside until we were at the entrance of his room. He flung me inside and pointed at the electrical socket, then at the lamp that had been packaged on the table, burnt and black. “I knew you would need evidence.” “You're lying,” I shook my head as I stared at the lamp, “you're lying to me.” “One thing about perpetual liars is they think everyone is like them. The evidence is right there and you still don't believe it,” Nikolai shook his head, “that only points at your ability to fake evidence.”

He said, it all makes sense now-- all this time I thought it was Roana. Lies-- their family was the master of lies, and damn Mina I let you abuse me too--- just like a dagger, it bleeds and the pain was the death I had to face as I watch them inside this empty white room.
