Novel & Cerita The Golden Lie Lies Of P

Reina's Point of View In case you haven't realised, I lie my way out of things like these. It was a thing since I was little. You have to know the secrets. They know if you're lying according to your heart pulse. And when you are lying your body automatically picks up his pulse. So, you have to make your body believe every lie as if it were a truth. Just like pa said 'lies roll of my tongue.' He was in shock. He kept harassing me to seek answers about who the Black Hunter was but I had apparently didn't know anything about it.

"Pen, I know you didn't. We are going to fix it. Hang tight." "Okay." She whispers, sounding nothing like herself. Layla hung up, returning her gaze to me. "We are going to find him. He's going to tell the story that Penelope can't. Then, this ridiculous attempt to destroy everything we've worked for will be put to bed." "And how do you know he'll agree to say anything? How do you know the media will believe he's even the same person?" "In every lie, there's an element of truth. So we're going to tell a lie, and the truth will not be far off."

Clenching my fists, I spit back, “You’re lying.” “Am I?” His eyes gleam with twisted satisfaction. “They think you’ve humiliated them, Piper. I was the golden boy they wanted for you. And you? You’re the ungrateful daughter who threw it all away.” Anger and disappointment course through me like a storm. My chest tightens as I glare at him. “You cheated on me!” I shout, my voice shaking with the sheer audacity of his lies. "How dare you lie to them? Are you so shameless that you had to twist the story to make me look like the villain? Is this really how desperate you are? Is this really how badly you want me?”

And yet, for the sake of appearances, for the crowd, she forced the lie from her lips, trembling. “Yes,” she whispered, barely audible. “He—he paid me to lie. Kastiel bribed me. He… he made me say false things. He—he is guilty. Kastiel… he…” The room erupted. The Thornbrooks cheered softly, their whispers spreading the narrative like wildfire. Kael’s smile was triumphant, his eyes gleaming with victory. He patted her shoulder, praising her, praising her bravery and loyalty, weaving her lie into the perception of truth for everyone present.

"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." Holding the spatula, Dad was about to close the door when Harvey, who had stayed silent the whole time, lunged forward and jammed his hand in the frame. "Please, let me talk to Jilian. I have something to tell her. I know that I've messed up, and I'm here to make things right. Please let me talk

"The jinx prophecy! The true and false mates! It was all fake!" She pointed a crazed finger at the stunned crowd. "It was all a lie I paid a destitute witch to invent!" "And you, my Alpha King!" she cackled maliciously. "You think you really loved her? You were just using her power to unite the packs!" "Your mate bond belonged to Selene from the very beginning! But you would rather believe a lie than face the truth!" "You fools! You destroyed her life over a lie!" Realizing their plot was exposed, Marcus and Elara turned to flee.

“Forever, even in silence.” I remember our first night together, the way he trembled when he touched me, how he made love to me like he was discovering religion for the first time. He kissed every part of me like I was made of prayers. When it was over, he pressed his forehead to mine and said, “I will never let anything take you from me.” Funny how the world makes liars of lovers. Noah didn’t ask about his father much. And when he did, I’d give vague answers. “He was strong,” I’d say. “Smart. A man of big dreams.” All of which were true, even if the truth itself was a lie.

I was running out of lies. I looked at the sharp, predatory line of Silas’s jaw and knew why I couldn’t speak the truth now. If I confessed, I wouldn’t be met with open arms; I would be met with the full, terrifying wrath of an Alpha who had been robbed. To tell him now, while I was trapped in his house and weakened by the silver, was to hand him the keys to my destruction. He would never forgive the five years of milestones I stole from him. He wouldn’t see my protection; he would see a kidnapping. I had to keep the lie alive because the truth wouldn’t set me free—it would only give him a legal and moral reason to tear Leo away from me forever. I needed to be beyond his reach before the sil

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

“Emails. Payments. Proof that Nathan and Alessandro colluded to manipulate the board, falsify financials, and frame Montez Vitalio. Proof that they bribed officers and buried evidence.” A collective gasp tore through the crowd. She flipped another page which the projector screen simultaneously turned to. “And here you can see witness statements tying Nathan directly to the incident that framed me as a gold digger. A plot he staged, then tried to pin on me.” The room erupted into chaos. Gasps, and shouts rang loudly and flashes from cameras could be seen exploding like fireworks. Rhea’s face drained of color, and she rose abruptly from her seat not being able to keep her composure anymore. “Y
