Novel & Cerita Ten Years One Lie

When the bank notified me about the insufficient balance in my account, a renowned venture capitalist, Julian Cregger, announced that he was searching for the benefactor who had lent him 30,000 dollars worth of startup funds during the winter years ago. Apparently, he was offering a reward of ten million for that good Samaritan. I immediately responded to it. After all, I couldn't come up with next month's rent. So, it wouldn't hurt to try my luck. … At the banquet, Julian's assistant, Luke Middleton, fired two questions at me. "Back then, what had been used to hold the money?" I tried hard to remember. "A black plastic bag, maybe?" He frowned at my answer. "What did you say to the ma

I loved the wrong man, he was my first and someone quoted it right ‘First is always a lie’ “Lana, baby, look at me…” “And you lied about my parents,” His neck locked, “No! I didn’t lie about anything, little one, what is wrong with you,” His caught red-handed guilt replied this time, the look on his face was clearly exposing him, he wasn’t that good hiding himself,

I sigh, and I turn around with the rest of the guys. After a few minutes of rustling behind me, we hear a small gasp from the young girl. "What is it?" I ask, not daring to look back from the fear that Kenli will beat me with a hammer. "Nothing. She's just cold." I can hear the tremble in her voice. She is obviously lying, people in this family just love to lie. But I shake it off, lying isn't our biggest problem right now. *********************************** Kenli A gasp escapes my lips as I take off her shirt to reveal several hundred cuts covering her body. "What is it?" The one called Alec questions. I look up at him to make sure he isn't looking.

"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.

“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.

“For those who don’t know, you tell us three statements about yourself—two of them true, one a lie—and we have to guess which one is the lie.” “I’ll start,” Zyra volunteered. “Okay, here are my three statements: One, I can play the piano. Two, I see the future. Three, I’m allergic to strawberries.” The pack members looked at her, trying to guess. “I think the lie is you seeing the future,” Kieran said. “No way, it’s the piano,” Elara countered. Zyra smiled. “Actually, the lie is that I’m allergic to strawberries. I love them.” “Wow, I didn’t know you could play the piano,” Seraphina said, impressed.

“Are you giving it to us? She won’t let you, you know.” “A slip of the tongue.” I scrub a hand over my partially shaven face. Lie. I’ve been talking to my lawyer about how to get the apartment to Lilly without her knowing. “You’re a bad liar,” she says, sipping her espresso coolly. “How long have you been in love with her?” “Ten years.” The words are gravel in my throat. Mallory nods, like this is a given. “I’m glad you’re done lying, at least.”

He said whimpering I rolled my eyes, stood up, and walked towards the table, I grab my mini calendar, just as I thought it was a new month. I don’t know if I should call it or curse or something else but Jeff always ends up breaking up with someone on the first of the month. This is the tenth time it happened, sometimes I predict it, and just as I thought my prediction turns into fact. "You did." My voice slipping in sorrow "I can’t believe it happened again."

"Have you ever tried lying?" He'd tried it once... when he was ten years old. He'd broken one of his cousin's many trophies and lied against Kalyani. He'd gotten away with it at that time but immediately he got to his room, he'd been so nauseated by the thought that he'd puked his guts out before he could make it to the bathroom. Kalyani had caught him in the act, figured out the truth and yelled at him and then she told him a truth that he'd never forgiven her for. After that day, he vowed never to tell lies and he'd kept to it.

“Then let me show you who I am now. Let me show you what we never finished.” Before I can answer, my phone buzzes. A message from Daniel. // We need to talk. Tonight. Don’t lie to me again. My stomach turns. Luca reads my face. “Him?” I nod. He leans back. “Then go. Talk. Be honest.” “You really think honesty will save anything?” “No.” He smiles faintly. “But lies already cost you ten years. Don’t give them another ten.” I rise from the table, torn in half. My body still electric and my mind a mess. “I don’t know what I’m doing,” I confess.
