Starting With A Lie Novels & Stories

How dare you lie to me. l

She was already too involved in my life. “But he’s in love with you, Rachel.” Her voice had sounded confused when she said it. “And I am not in love with him. I think that part is obvious enough.” “You’re being difficult. How do you know this Damian… guy?” “That’s not your business, Layla.” “Are you keeping things from me now?” “That, I am.” “Wow.” “I know, right.” “You’re crazy.” “I know, right.” What upset me most wasn’t even the argument. It was her telling Aiden. Without asking me.

He grew complacent, dodging work with excuses, content to let me carry the load. As the business expanded, it needed more capital. I poured in all my savings and borrowed from friends and family to keep it thriving. I never complained, believing we'd build a good life together. At our wedding, Dale had vowed, "I'll make it big one day and earn enough to take care of you. I'll stick by you till we're old and gray." But long before we aged, his promises shattered. He always assumed I was the one who couldn't conceive. In truth, I'd lied to protect his pride.

"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.

She intends to write a resignation letter tomorrow. "Is there even a job like that? Work anytime you want?" Leonora wondered. "Yes! There is one. This job of mine... Ahmp, it's just like working as an assistant." Lying is like a virus; it spreads extremely quickly. Carnation's lie grew larger and larger as she sought to conceal the truth. "Does such a thing exist?" "There already is." Carnation stood up for the lie, she even smiled to persuade her stepmother.

Lies, Betrayal. And nothing.

"Who hit my sister?" The crowd fell silent. All the color drained from Viola's face. Her lips trembled, and a muffled whimper escaped her. Aaron's expression shifted from anger to confusion, then to terror. "That's impossible. How could she be..." He suddenly looked at me, his eyes red. "Eve, why didn't you tell me?!" He stepped forward and tried to take my hand. Even his voice changed. "Eve, I made a mistake! She lied to me! She kept turning me against you! I never wanted to break up with you!"

“Nah it's completely normal.” “Alright. So how was your first day at work? Wait. Why are you back so early?.” I bit my lower lip as Mrs. Lopez’s warning crossed my mind. I had no plans of telling Kim that Eva had been kidnapped so I told a little lie. “Eva insisted on returning. Said she felt a bit off or something.” “Oh. Alright.” Kim responded and I chuckled at the way she had said it. She laughed and picked up a snack from her plate to munch on.

"What took you so long?" Fixing my gaze on Cindy, I tried to keep my composure. Cindy didn't give a shit about my emotions or what had actually happened. "I got stuck in traffic." I lied instead. "Sorry, it won't happen again." "Better not." Cindy huffed. "Now, let's not waste any time. I've got a meeting soon." Nodding, I positioned myself as Cindy moved forward, ready to attack. Dodging, I twirled, slamming my elbow into her back, taking her off guard. Righting herself, Cindy shot me a smile as she lunged forward once again.

I asked quietly. "Marco, I didn’t mean to lie. I just... I didn’t know how to tell you." "Who is he to you?" "He’s..." She swallowed. "He’s my best friend. Lucan’s my best friend. I just found out he was the leader of a rival mafia faction. He came to tell me. That was all." "That was all?" She nodded. "Yes." "So you snuck out to meet a rival don early in the morning and didn’t tell me, and lied about it afterward. But it was nothing?"
