One Of Us Is Lying Book Review の小説・ストーリー

It was Jax who let his guard down over books. I smiled. I remembered the lavish life I got to visit when I was younger. But out here, none of us really knew how to read. Not well anyway. We had codes made up. But we couldn’t read books like Aspen had always had. We couldn’t read that version of written language. We had never been taught or had the resources to teach ourselves. “You don’t have books?” S looked horrified. “Then how do you know what side you’re on is the right side?”

He fled, leaving in a hurry. I clenched my fists, suddenly finding my determination laughable. My family, the Medina family, had a long-standing relationship with the Grays. That was why I wanted to deal with all this quietly, sparing everyone the embarrassment. But the truth was, Vivian was the daughter-in-law recognized by his mother, Sylvia. Perhaps even everyone in the Gray family knew about her, with me being the only exception. I was the only one fooled by Rudolf's empty promises. If he had told me plainly that he wanted a child, I would have left with my dignity and never stayed with him. But he claimed he did not want a child, all the while secretly having one. He should have been ho

“You can’t seriously think I—” But his face was unreadable, jaw tense as suspicion flickered in his eyes. The pause was answer enough. Rhea’s words were sinking in. She smirked in triumph. “Enzo…” Amira almost let out a painful whimper yet he didn’t meet her gaze. Rhea seized on the hesitation. “Exactly. She’s the outsider. The only one with a different motive. And what? She just happens to be sitting beside him when a sniper takes the shot? Please. If you can’t see what’s in front of you, then you’re blind.”

I read a few pages from one of the books and my wonderment went up a notch. Angel, Eva… They were nothing like what their families had been. Their lives at the moment looked so peaceful, so ordinary. But I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was missing something. They left me no clues, no loose ends, nothing to hold on to. “Looking for something?.” A too-familiar voice suddenly said, startling me. The book made a loud bang on the floor and I turned to see Angel, sitting casually by a window, a book nestling in his lap.

He took a book from the stack I was holding and said, "Take this book. It will be beneficial to your assignment. Return the rest to the library." I nodded and exited the classroom with the books. Was he truly attempting to assist me, or was he attempting to compensate for doing his job? Anyway, I got the book I wanted, so it was worth it. While walking to the library, I noticed Alex pleasantly conversing with someone else. Didn't he claim he didn't have anyone to turn to for help? Did he lie to me? Why is everyone this way? He could have told me he wanted to accompany me. Why does he have to lie about not knowing anyone? I groaned and continued walking to the library. As I walked past him, I

Please, let me stay with you. After a long moment, I replied in a calm and distant tone, "You don't have the right to stay with me, Andrew. Everything you have belongs to Daisy, not me. Didn't you already make your will? "For years, I've lived in the lies you created. Do you know how much I hated myself when I finally learned the truth? I hated myself for loving you, for falling in love with the man who destroyed everything." Looking at the face I had known for 20 years, the one that had slept beside me for five, I suddenly felt no more hatred.

I knew everyone here had incredible strength and speed but even at that. My heart slammed against my ribs, as I fought him, but no matter how fast I strike, he was always ready to receive or dodged it. Fuck! I need to check what is inside that book and the fact that was fighting so hard to protect it only makes me more suspicious. I had speculated two scenarios to expect from the book. It's either it's contains lies or a very painful truth. Anyone it was, I won't mind. Staying in the dark is as much pain.

Then he smirked, the same infuriating smirk he always wore when he thought he’d won. "Enjoy the lies while they last, Shania," he said, backing toward the door. "Because when the truth comes out, you’ll realize you’ve just traded one manipulative bastard for another." The door slammed shut behind him, and the silence that followed was deafening. I turned to Stefan, my heart pounding. "Is he right?" I asked, my voice trembling. "Have you been lying to me?" Stefan sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It’s not what you think," he said finally.

Or maybe he was just choosing to believe everything she was saying because he had the upper hand against him. "Well, I thought that if I could manage to blackmail you, then you would come to me, but you were so in love with Evangelien that it broke my heart, and since I wanted to keep my pride, I acted as if I had evidence," she expounded her lie. She could not believe how good she was at doing things like this. "So cute," he murmured. She almost let out a sigh of relief that she had been able to deceive him so quickly, and he did not pick up on it. Maybe he was just choosing to believe her, so he did not miss out on anything.

Because every truth unraveled another, and now she stood on the edge of a decision she could never come back from: Stay loyal to the country that used her. Or stand beside the man she was sent to destroy. The man she was now hopelessly falling for. Now she knows: everything about the case had been a lie. And maybe… just maybe… she had been the biggest lie of them all.
