The Authenticity Project: A Novel Novels & Stories

"I am Aliana and he is Winston. The book is based on my life. It was our story." "You have got to be kidding me. Everything that is in this book is real. All the sex, the characters, the events are all real?" "I change the characters' names and their appearances. But everything is true. I have a handwritten journal to prove it." "I don't need proof. I believe you. So what are you planning to do? I know you. You wouldn't just tell me this if you don't have something up your sleeves." "I am going to tell Stephanie the truth. I don't want her to be trapped with a man she can't trust. I believe he is pretending that he doesn't remember me. She should know the truth. Who knows what other secrets

A very loud round of applause welcomed us as we entered a room. Camera flash but it hurts my eyes though. I never thought… I will be going to engage in this kind of program that Jeoff never told me. Official introducing his fake wife. Yeah Jeoff! FAKE WIFE! @DEATH WISH Thank you for supporting my Novel! You may also read my complete Novel, (hmmm... while waiting for an update) Title: TAMING THE DANGEROUS CEO THE DEVILISH BILLIONAIRE FATED TO MARRY THE DEVIL

Then, as if accepting what I already knew I had to do, my thumb hovered midair. Claus and Andrew both noticed. “I need to take this,” I said quietly, already rising. “Just a moment—I’ll be right back.” On any other day, I wouldn’t have let a single second slip—not with everything we were trying to make sense of: Julia, Lara, the hidden archive floors at HAB, the attacks, and how it all connected. But this call was different. Dr. Victoria Green wasn’t just a therapist. She was the only person who’d held space for my crumbling truth the day Julia confessed.

"The world has followed the Sterling saga closely. Your first book, The Debt, was a fictional exploration of financial secrets. Now, you’ve released The New Contract, a book about two people rebuilding their lives on total honesty. Is this simply a memoir disguised as fiction?" I smiled, meeting her gaze steadily. "Every writer draws from life, but this book is much broader than the Sterling saga. The New Contract is about the universal human need for genuine connection after experiencing profound betrayal. It’s about the work required to shift from a foundation built on lies to one built on absolute transparency."

Possibly. So, I had my people dig into it. Turns out “Nova,” her pseudonym, is real. She’s an author, and from what I’ve seen, her books aren’t half bad. They’re filthy—dark, twisted. She has a mind that revels in the shadows. But this move? This was reckless. I need to know if she’s genuine or if she’s playing some kind of dangerous game.

She stared for a second, then replied, “if it’s 500$, yes. But around 10,000 dollars? No baby. I can’t even afford my rent that’s why I’m living off two grown men. Plus, I’m taking care of a grown adult—Frank.” She leaned in and asked, “you’re being sold off? To who?” I faked a laugh. “Ha ha. That’s ridiculous. I said if, besides it’s for a novel I’m working on,” I said, trying to shake it off. She shrugged, “if you say so,” She wiped off her tears and stood up. “Let’s go,” she said. “Where?” I asked. “To the club.” She replied. Before I could respond, a message popped up on my phone. I clicked it and it was from an unknown ID. The message was a document, I opened it and my jaw dropped as I

Liana’s POV (2 days earlier ……) I wasn’t supposed to be here—and definitely not like this. Puffy eyes. Smudged makeup. An expired gym pass and a trail of broken pieces. Matteo should never find out Matteo made sure the world saw a picture-perfect marriage. He didn’t care what happened behind locked doors—as long as no one ever questioned it.” But here I was, sitting cross-legged on cold concrete beside the door of a gym I couldn’t legally enter, pretending like I wasn’t about to lose what little sanity I had left.

Once he read it, there was no going back. He was still shell shocked by Darien’s sudden confession, reading a detailed account of his feelings was only going to add to it. Then he remembered Darien saying that he might never want to talk to him after he read everything. There would really be no going back after he read the book proposal. Zach turned to the first proper page after the front cover page. His hand was shaking. The first page detailed the synopsis of the proposed story. The story was about a billionaire CEO trying to find the confidence to come out as gay and the intern who he fell in love with. Their names were Darien and Zach. The real Zach was taken aback by how to the point i

, I tried my best to defend myself. I did promise that I'll be doing the project alone but I really don't remember promising anything else. "For the voice recording, don't worry. It wouldn't even take me a day to bring you the voice recording, After all who do you think I am. The heir of the Gwan Institutes of Research, Ryung Gwan. So, Seo-yeon, does that mean from now on you'll do whatever I tell you to?", I gulped with eyes wide as he approached me with a devilish smirk forming on his face.

"As you all know, it's been a hard couple of months. You all have been so loyal to me and I promise I will do everything in my power to make sure you all are taken care of. We are in the middle of the biggest war known to man. A mystery man has stolen my identity, murdered my fiance, burned and raped thousands of people, and continues to destroy lives right as we speak". The tension in the air was thick. Every person here had been brutalized by the Fredrick imposter in one way or another. Through the years this group has grown as people began to be fed up with being puppets. Fredrick turned to me and held my gaze. I smiled lightly at him, encouraging him to continue. "I have an informant on
