Tell Me Lies Evan Novels & Stories

No matter what others thought, he had always defended me, trusted me without question. Now, he doubted me and raised his voice for Vivian and Sean. All I had for him was complete despair. Seeing my expression change, he quickly softened his tone. "Lia, I'm not blaming you. The boy is missing, and everyone's worried. If you know where he is, just tell us." I straightened and replied coldly, "I don't know. Don't ask me. Go to the police." Rudolf still did not believe me, difficulty all over his expression. "Lia…"

"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!"

Now, looking back, it was clear Max had bribed them all, orchestrating this elaborate charade. "Mom! What are you doing?" Evan rushed toward me in a panic. He wasn't mature enough yet, and I saw the flash of fear in his eyes—the terror of his deceit being uncovered. "Dad is already dead. Let him rest in peace. Don't disturb him," he urged, his voice shaky. "There's no peace to be had for the dead," I replied calmly, not bothering to expose his lies just yet. Evan froze, clearly taken aback by my indifferent tone. He had expected a different reaction, one filled with the same blind sorrow from before.

Ashley teased, pointing at Garnet. Garnet simply smiled, while John cleared his throat awkwardly. "Okay… maybe this year," he said hesitantly. Garnet turned to look at him, eyes wide with surprise. He had no choice. He had to lie. "That’s settled then! I’ll call Esmeralda later—I have good news for her!" Diana said excitedly. Then, the unexpected happened. "I don’t want to get pregnant." The room fell into silence. All three of them turned to look at Garnet.

Adrian, the man who had lied to me about everything, had been lying to Simeon as well. “Yes,” Simeon bit out, his voice sharp, as if the betrayal stung him more than he was willing to admit. “I thought he was a promising entrepreneur, but he’s nothing but a fraud.” The room seemed to spin as my brain worked at the weight of his words. Adrian wasn't only a liar in my books, he had betrayed Simeon, too. But by now Simeon was not just this somewhere distant in my life but part of the story and rather unexpectedly at that.

"I understand that you're mad at me but I told you, I didn—" "Stop." I pulled my arm away and took a step away from Evan. "I don't want to hear your excuses. I know you did this, Evan. Stop lying to me." Evan heaved an agitated breath, loudly. "Fine, I did. Is that what you want to hear? I only did it because he is not a good guy, Jasmine! I'm looking out for you. I don't want him to—try to pull something." My body was close to trembling with frustration. I narrowed my eyes. "Tell me what the deal between you two is, then."

“He does it with Grandma too.” That broke something open in me. Children didn’t dramatize the truth. They just blurt it. I kissed her forehead and stood. “Finish up, okay. I’ll be right here.” When she went back to her work, I picked up my phone again. Me: If this is about Lily, say it. Three dots appeared. Disappeared. Appeared again. Evan: I want to see her. My chest tightened painfully. Me: You walked out. Evan: I didn’t walk out on her.

He picks up. “Evan!” I shout, relief rushing in. “Thank God, I…” “It’s over, Ryan!” His voice cracks. “Loving you was the worst mistake I’ve ever made! Don’t ever talk to me again!” The line clicks dead and silent. I drop the phone onto the bed. My chest feels like it’s been ripped open. Evan… gone. He’s really gone. I have to find him, I have to explain everything. Mason lied, he has to know that. I can’t let this end like this.

But this time, he had no choice. Evan and Nolan just stared at him, their faces void of emotions. “Well...aren’t you going to say something? Or ask anything?” David sighed. “You lied didn’t you?” Evan said, his voice harsh when he spoke. He maintained eye contact. “I want to hear an explanation David. Had I not spoken to you before I would have thought that you are here to spy on us. But I have a feeling that you have a good reason to do what you did.”

He wasn’t kidding but here I am, frustrated as hell. “It’s not me, okay?” I whispered, afraid someone might overhear us. Even though the issue has been handled, news spreads fast, especially when it’s about De Herrera. “Silly,” Evan chuckled, “you just confirmed it by coming here.” “Why can’t I ever lie to you?” I asked, sounding more troubled than I meant to. I really didn’t know what to do, especially if the truth about me and Rome De Herrera came out. “Because you’re not a good liar,” he said with a soft smile. “And that’s not a flaw. That’s one of the best things about you. Unlike most people.” He reached out and messed up my hair, like he always used to.
