Sometimes I Lie Summary Novels & Stories

Six years ago, when the Berlandi family accused Nico Valenti of leaking their financial records, I found the evidence that proved him innocent. When they still refused to take him back, I mortgaged my mother's restaurant and put everything I owned on the line for him. With my backing, Nico eventually became the person in charge of Saint Vito Port. He promised that at this year's council meeting, he would openly introduce me as his wife. But that night, I was stranded at Blackwater Docks. I called Nico for help twelve times. He never came.

Thank goodness he interrupted the conversation, even when I know he wasn't aware that he just saved my ass from the unwanted conversation about my life in America. “I’ll check right away, sir.” Aljun moved to the computer and typed quickly on the keyboard before shaking his head. “No, sir. It’s unoccupied.”

“Mr. Stefan told me you went to work for a company.” “Oh! Yeah! I did. Just pulling your legs.” I laughed awkwardly again. Stefan really needs to tell me all the lies he told everyone, so I wouldn’t have to start acting dumb, just to cover up. “So, tell me all about it.” Layla said, excitedly as she stared at me, with keen interest. “At your service, ma’am.” I smiled, and began to spin believable stories. ~

Can’t wait to finish!’’ Lying has now become part of me the past few days. I have lied so much that I have started to believe the lies I tell and it bothers me.

How could someone be this handsome every single morning? “How are you this morning? Any pain?” Instead of saying no, I answered, “A lot.” I lied on purpose. And I hated lying. Let the record show: even lawyers who hate lies exist. “Hmm, you were doing fine yesterday. I was hoping you’d feel better today so we could go out and eat.” “I was feeling okay yesterday, but the pain got worse today.” “Let’s get it checked. I wonder why it suddenly got worse.” “Well… I made a sudden movement before I fell asleep. That’s when the pain started. But it’ll pass once I take some medicine. I already have an appointment next week.” These lies could pave a road to New York—whatever, Amber…

My first statement will be my lie. She collects it back. “Good, now tell us your two truths and a lie.” I take a deep breath. “One; I have an annotated copy of Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men.” He should know I don’t, judging from the argument we had in English class. “Two; I’ve talked someone off the ledge of the school’s rooftop before.” I watch him suppress a smile. “And three; I look away when I’m being insincere.” He doesn’t even miss a beat. “Your first statement is your lie.”

he murmured. "It doesn't matter!” I snapped as tears blurred my vision, "I lied… I lied to them and I... I told them I was like them, they found out I wasn't. They were angry." “And?" He said, expression blank. “And that was my fault!" Silence fell once more, “What if their parents finds out? What if it spirals further?

I leaned back in my seat and added, "I'm giving you a chance now. Say the magic words. Break up with me. Don't worry. If anyone asks, I'll tell them that you were the one who dumped me so that won't hurt your ego anymore, right? Now, come on, say it. Say we're done so I can finally go home and sleep."

"When I handed Jil over to you, you promised to love and protect her. Have you forgotten? Only a few years in, and this is what we get! We may be old, but we're not dead!" Harvey dared not cry out in pain and only grunted softly every time the spatula struck. He wanted to explain himself, only to open his mouth and close it again. "Just go. We don't want you getting hurt and blaming it on us later."
