One Of Us Is Lying Novels & Stories

“I'm convinced facts matter." The apartment became quiet again. Linda folded her arms, "then present your facts.” I leaned back slightly. "You were with me the day I initiated the contract.” Her expression remained neutral. “And I left you in the room that same day.” A flicker; small and almost invisible but it was there. Linda looked down at her glass before laughing softly. "So we're playing detective now?” “We’re eliminating possibilities.” She shrugged. “Maybe someone hacked your system." “They didn't."

His voice remains calm. Controlled. That somehow makes it worse. I stare out the glass windows of my office. The city stretches endlessly below. Busy. Loud. Alive. Meanwhile my heart suddenly feels too loud inside my chest. “You left,” I say quietly. Another pause. Then— “I did.” No excuses. No lies. No attempt to deny it. And somehow that annoys me even more. “You don’t get points for honesty now.” “I know that too.” God. Why does he sound like this?

It runs in our system so we know whenever someone is lying. We can detect who those are. And as of the moment, I believe that Claude is lying. “Really? Are you sure about that? I mean, look at you. You don’t look comfortable at all,” I said. “Well maybe because I was an honest man?” he asked me. Got your weakness! “Really? Then, if you're honest. Tell me, what happened on your way to Cogio?” “Well, how do I say this. Uhmm, I shouldn’t be even saying this to you. It's private information. Don’t let it leak.”

he said while disconnecting the call. "Swara, I know after this you would hate me more but I have no other ways left to keep you with me. I recorded the video when I kissed you. I knew your gold digger step mother would definitely throw you out of your house after watching that video. And then you will have no other option left. You will come to me. I am the one who broke you and I will be the one to fix you," Sanskar said to himself. ♡♡♡

He didn’t believe Aisha’s claims for one second, no, but then what exactly was Ursa pulling. “So… what is this supposed to be, Ursa?” At least Ursa had the decency to look a little embarrassed. Ursa thought the only person that would eventually barge in would be Aisha, and even then Ursa thought Aisha would wait a couple of more days. But now both Orlov and Ivan were here. “It’s… a joke.” Ivan grinned at Ursa’s confession, but Aisha rolled her eyes. “No way this is a joke. Come clean, witch!” Aisha’s ramblings caused any embarrassment Ursa had to drain from her visage. She turned to the younger girl, throwing off her hood.

He risked it and lied. The thought that he could stoop so low and lie astonishes me. “Wow, she changed you that quickly,” I whisper in disbelief. “Briar, do you stand by your word, and what you said is true? Punishable if it turns out you maliciously accused a packmate?” He formally asks me. “I do.” I watch as he turns to Rebecca and asks her the same, followed by Devin. “Three answers, only one truth. Let us see who the liar is.” He states, waving his arm toward the living room. “Have a seat.” He starts standing next to the TV and taking out his phone. “Let’s see what happened.” He states as the screen springs to life, and he starts the video when I initially walk into the kitchen and makes

"Duchess and Ella. Whatever you're planning, it's not theirs to answer for." Law leaned back against the wall, arms crossed, watching her with the particular stillness he saved for things he found genuinely interesting. Silas didn't move at all, which was somehow worse. I let the silence stretch a beat longer. Billie didn't fill it. That was new too. "You think we lied to you," I said. “About who you are." "You did lie to me." "Then tell me, since you've clearly already decided we're the villains here. What do you think people like us deserve for that?”

They both stare at me and seem to be waiting for what I say, “I lie to you guys, I don't have my business, I'm living a messy life here in New York, I lied” They look into each other eyes and said, “We know,” “What?”

“One, I love video games. Two, I once pushed a stranger in a pool. Three, I love pickles. Which one’s the lie?’ he said and we started guessing. “You love pickles is the lie,” I spoke first. “I agree with Muff,” Michane followed and next was Krys who also agreed. “Bro, we know you. You could easily push somebody off even on a cliff.” We all laughed at what Levine said. “Okay, I’m next. One, I know how to dance. Two, I have three siblings. Three, I forget a lot about birthdays,” Krysyle said, making our brows furrow. “There’s literally no lie there, Krysyle Verlice,” I answered. “There is!” she exclaimed. “I’m guessing she knows how to dance is a lie,” Clint answered, making me do a facepalm.

"That nurse you mentioned . . . was she coming with the pain meds in this decade?" "They're pretty overwhelmed out there," I hedged. "If we don't see her soon, I'll go back out and rattle some cages." "No, it's okay. There are other folks who need them more." He sighed. "Keep talking to me, please. It . . . helps." "Sure." I tried to think of things that had helped me in my moments of need. "Oh, I have an idea. Let's play two lies and a truth." Noah frowned at me. "Isn't it two truths and a lie?"
