Novel & Cerita Not Everything Is As It Seems

Michelle’s fingers drummed nervously against the edge of her phone, the screen dark and reflective under the soft office lights. The anonymous message from earlier replayed in her mind, each word etched deep with a foreboding chill that refused to fade. “Be careful whom you trust. Not everyone is who they seem.”

Why do they seem out of touch by the reality? Sure, they are wealthy—by the looks of it. But he told me about his family having secrets… somebody can pretend that all is well in the forefront. But what about the skeletons that hid underneath the curtains in the tall walls of their mansion? With the guns… men, explosion that caused a commotion among them. Something does not seem to make sense.

** "It's not what it looks like." Are the first words that come out of mouth. Of course Beth and Paul aren't going to believe that. I mean who would—Sebastian Harrison is standing in the closet of my room, holding his shirt and shoe in his hands, and they're supposed to believe that it's "not what it looks like?" "It really isn't," Sebastian adds. "I know it's hard to believe me out of all people but it isn't what it looks like."

“That’s not possible. They wouldn’t—” “They did,” Daniel said firmly. A new message appeared on the screen: Not everything is what it seems. Emma felt her chest tighten. “He’s turning us against each other.” “Or showing us the truth,” Daniel countered. Marcus stepped back, his breathing uneven. “This is insane. We don’t even know what’s real anymore.” “That’s the point,” Emma said quietly. Lena looked at her. “What?” “He’s messing with us,” Emma continued. “Making us question everything… each other.”

her expression immediately darkened. "If I hadn't given Mason's parents the money, how would they have agreed to let him leave the countryside? Is a human life not worth fifty thousand dollars to you? And about the car, what man gets married without buying a car? Whether the marriage is real or fake, I couldn't let Mason be treated unfairly. You're a man too. Can't you put yourself in his shoes?" A metallic taste spread through my throat. Tens of thousands of dollars, and she made it sound so lightly, as if she could take it out whenever she wanted.

They locked the door and pushed me to the sink sitting me down on the counter that was made of black marbles. "You look like sh*t." Queen was the first one to break the silence. "What is that supposed to mean?" She took my shoulders twisting them to the Mirror. I now know what they mean that some people die when looking at the mirror, not because of their good looks but because they simply look like the twin of dog sh*t.

“You saw something, didn’t you?” I nod. “I saw… both of them. I think.” “Then we’re not done,” he murmurs. “Not yet.” The mirror’s whisper returns, sharp as ever: Nothing is what it seems. And I have the sinking feeling… No one is who they say they are. And we also lack one important piece of the puzzle, and i wonder…

I stared at her with mouth wide open as she said that. Not only me but others. How can that be possible? They really reached all the couple goals. All my theories and premonitions about them faded away as they looked at us with guilty eyes. I didn't see it coming neither did others. It was one of those most unpredicted and unexpected moments that could bring a heart attack. Oh lord!

We all like things to be predictable. We expect things to be safe and to keep on happening just the way they always have. We expect the sun to rise in the morning. We expect to get up, survive the day and finish up back in bed at the end of it, ready to start all over again the next day. But maybe that's just a trick we play on ourselves, our way of making life seem ordinary. Because the truth is, life is so extraordinary that for most of the time, we can't bring ourselves to look at it. It's too bright, and it hurts our eyes. The fact of the matter is that nothing is ever certain. But most people never find that out until the ground suddenly disappears from beneath their feet.

Naoh Williams " I was caught up in traffic. Now can we stop focusing on my personal life and discuss this project." I spat back at her,she knew very well where I was and what happened but she's acting like nothing ever happened between us,she just wanted to put me in a compromising position. If she thinks she is going to win this game she has another thing coming.
