One Of Us Is Lying Book 4 の小説・ストーリー

"But where can we possibly look to find this book?" I shrugged. "We could perhaps, rest first." They both chuckled. "You're so relaxed babe. Did you find anything good?" "I'm just in no hurry. We will certainly find the book. So far as it is the three of us that knows about it, we are going to find it." I really deserved a crown for being the queen of lying. I was doing it so easily and it bothered me a lot. But another one of my issue was how Alder and El were so comfortable in speaking with each other more than they used to. And why were they standing so awfully close to each other? I folded my arms, watching them but said nothing. I didn't want to jump into any conclusions, but my curiosi

he retorted. “I didn’t see anything here… errrmm… I didn’t see anything, "she said, lying. The counselor took a glance at her and he could tell that she was lying. He decided to move to her a little further but she took a step back, tripped her leg and fell, with the note falling from her dress. The duo eyes interlocked as the pack counselor gave a smile having seen the book. “I knew it was with you all this while, I only wondered why you had to lie to keep it” the counselor said, motioning to pick the book. “You have no need for this, it could get you loosed in the realm of the unknown” he snarled

Julian suggests, holding his glass out. “No more lies,” Nikita adds with a shrug. “I agree wholeheartedly, no more lies.” Layla moves her glass forward and they all look at me. I exhale slowly and nod, cocking a brow before I clink my glass with theirs. “No more lies!” they say in unison before we all drink. But the truth is, for the ones I love, I’ll continue to lie till the very end. THE END

As the sound of our footsteps echoed in the empty space, an unsettling feeling crept up my spine. "I heard you're pregnant." A familiar voice rang out, laced with mockery and disdain. I stopped and turned to face Daisy, who stood in the shadows with her arms crossed. A smirk played on her lips, and her eyes gleamed with malicious excitement. "Looks like I underestimated you, Eleanor." She walked toward me slowly. "But do you know why you haven't had children these past five years?" My fingers clenched, an ominous feeling settling in my heart. Daisy chuckled softly. "Because I didn't want you to have one."

Cole takes another step and my hands fly up involuntarily. “I’m tired Cole, I think it’s best we finish tomorrow,” I mumble. Cole frowns, before spinning around and walking out. I close the door softly behind him, and shaking my head. I attempt to go back to normal, reading my book, trying to retain the information in it. The many books he used to convince me that I still have potential to have a wolf just like others. My fingers slide down the aged papers, hoping this would distract me from my inevitable doom. I take a sharp breath. How to distract yourself from your own death?

“If the book somehow ended up in Giselle’s hands, Beta Alek must have given it to her. I don’t know why he would lie about this, but it’s not my doing.” Beta Alek’s hand shook, panic seeping into his eyes as he turned to me, his voice breaking. “Alpha, please, you know me! I would never betray you — Andros is lying! I swear I would never give that book to Giselle or anyone outside the pack. The only mistake I admit on doing was not burning the book and keeping it secret as you have told me to do.” “Enough!” I thundered, the command reverberating through the room. “Leave us.”

Cancer, they'd said. A long battle. A peaceful end. Lies. All of it lies. --- End of Chapter Fourteen.

It was for me—my choice, my selfish decision—and he got caught in the crossfire of my mistakes. I never meant to lie. Yet I did. And that alone is enough for him to despise me. Enough reason for him to turn his back and walk away. I lay on the cold floor, shattered—not just by his words, but by the brutal truth they carried. This is the end. Our end. For so long, I dreamed of forever with him. But forever, it seems, was always meant to be brief. I stood before the towering Company building, my heart pounding in dread. I knew how furious Justin would be to see me, but no force on earth could stop my trembling hands from pushing through those doors.

I began carefully forcing my voice to stop shaking, "I know you're probably mad about what happened earlier but I guess you've taken your anger out already.” His eyes darkened, “At least now you have a chance to clear your name,” I continued, “I don't, and that's okay. Perfectly fine by me." Was it? I swallowed. “That's the consequences of my lie anyway,” I said but he said nothing. He walked behind his desk, opened a drawer and brought out a pack of cigarette. The sound of foil tearing echoed loudly in the quiet room and he lit one slowly. Smoke curled around him, blurring his features. “I have to go,” I said finally.

“I’m sorry, Jane.” I pressed my palms to my face. Everything was unraveling — my mother, my father, my mentor, my board, my past. “Everyone I ever trusted,” I croaked. “Every single one of them lied to me.” Daniel stepped closer. “Not everyone.” “Daniel…” “I never lied to you,” he said quietly. “Not about this. Not about us. And I won’t start now.” The room fell painfully silent. I forced myself to sit. “I need to know what’s on the missing page.”
