Our Lie In April Novels & Stories

“Oh, I see you haven’t heard. This is embarrassing. That woman expertly framed you, now it’s viral. You with her in a hot tub having a wonderful time. The voice claimed you’ve had an affair with her for months. Well, they don’t say that in exact words. It’s more inferred, but it’s clear. You can’t continue like that with her.” Damien went to respond when April stepped before him. “Oh, I see the child is teething. I thought you had a romantic partner.” April eyed Emily up and down with a telltale sigh. A sign of how tired she felt at the many times April discovered the lies of women like Emily. You share a common origin. I swear, there’s a mysterious factory making them. They’re the same. I’m

“But I don’t understand… why would he lie like that?” April was silent, as if she were considering her options, trying to understand what was going through Finn's head. “I have no idea either,” she mumbled, still confused. “But are you sure nothing ever happened between you two? There wasn’t… any time when you felt insecure or…” I interrupted her, hand-raising to dispel that train of thought. “No, there wasn’t. There was nothing, April.” She nodded, still looking thoughtful. “So what is he trying to do? Why lie about it?”

I wasn't sure why but it was impossible without surgery. I could see the two girls eyeing some teenagers on the dance floor with approval. Gracefully they slipped from the booth and glided over to them. The four boys on the other hand practically had their eyes glued to us. Who could blame them? The three of us had curvy figure and Louise and Ana definitely wore clothes that emphasised all their feminine curves. "Apparently you called?" Louise flirted settling her eyes on a brown haired Moroi. "We wanted to compliment your performance just now. That was amazing," he grinned. "I'm Dan."

Hoping I’d heard wrongly. “I can’t do this anymore.” Sapphire breathed heavily, her voice cracking as she continued. “Every day I wake up feeling like a stranger in my own home. I can’t keep wallowing in guilt. My husband… my kids… I can’t… keep lying to them!. I will do anything. Anything to get out of…” “So what are you gonna do about it?.” Lyra asked, cutting in. “You shouldn’t be here if you are so sure of what you want, my dear. You should be at the Don’s… tea-talking with Lazarus.”

[Leah’s POV] I stood in the hallway listening to the voices that drifted from the room I was currently outside of. After waking up and finding myself in an infirmary completely cleaned up and bandaged, I immediately reached out in an attempt to find the others. Once locating them, I wasted no time getting out of bed and making my way towards where they were. As I considered the fact that I had been drugged, I found myself growing angrier and angrier until I couldn’t stand back and listen any longer.

My heart felt heavy and my body was shaking as my chest felt tight at the words that he said to me that night, I had not spoken to him since due to the information that was finally brought forward to my attention. I felt anger and betrayal from the man I chose to put my trust in; my trust was now dissipating from all the lies he had held behind my back, though I wanted to always be near him because I longed for his tough my heart and mind were at war constantly over whether or not I should trust him again.

She turned back and walked towards Kyle, she looked at him before looking at me, with a glare "No one will ever love you, you will never get a man as good as Kyle. You are pathetic Tara, sorry to say but no one likes a girl who keeps secrets from her boyfriend." Damn, she always gets me, I hate the fact she always gets to my head. She turned back and was about to leave when I stop her, I walked towards her and stood right in front of her, staring into her eyes "For your kind information Maria, you are the pathetic one, not me, if I remember clearly, Kyle didn’t cheat on me, actually, we were playing each other." I said before I looked at Kyle. It hurts me to lie but I have no other choice, I

"Hopefully." He forced a smile. "I'll go now. Have a nice day," and he bade the both of them before leaving the house. Adelina stared at herself in the mirror. Was she wrong to have started this lie? Yes, she felt it. But she also thought it was the best way to forget him for good. Jonathan was always going to be the same arrogant, womanizer she had met a couple of years back and she felt stupid to have thought for a second, that he could change because of her. For her.

I watched as he went back up to the porch and opened the door. “I got arrested.” That still made no sense. There had to be more. “We’d been having issues and I fell back on some things I’d been doing before I met her. I lied about it and downplayed the whole situation. I didn’t realize the whole story would make the evening news. We’d just sat down to watch a movie when my face popped up on the screen along with—” He cut himself off and forced a smile. “She’d been struggling for a while with post-partum depression and things from your dad. I never thought it would escalate to what it did.”

Followed with a giggle to make it less obvious. “If that was just easy, LOL!” Wayne believed that she was joking, he grew accustomed to her tease and antics. “I mean you can try.” Jill winked and the two laughed at the same time. The room became quiet as April went back to her sit. Hori was the first one to comfront her, “Are you feeling better sis?” April nodded. “Thanks, I’m still pissed but I’m okay.” Joy also came to her and apologize because she was also part of the people who started the rumor, “Sorry April. I joined it thinking it funny. I-I didn’t know you were dating someone.”
