The Kindest Lie Novels & Stories

I recognize the voice to belong to Travis Richardson, our house's head of security. I look between the door, Janice and her unknown friend repeatedly. Janice just stands there with her hands crossed across her chest,staring back at me with expressionless eyes. Her face is stilled masked like it was last night but I can easily make out that it's her. Her friend suddenly goes on her knees and starts rubbing her palms together, "Sir, please! Sir all we did was come to take food because we are hungry, please pity..." She starts to sob in a loud whisper. Janice pauses her speech by putting her right hand over her friend's mouth, the other hand lying on her waist.

With that, I switched off my phone and fell asleep, oblivious to the chaos unfolding in the comments. [What's going on, Jilian? Going through a phase?] [Wait… Are you getting divorced?] That comment received a reply that said, [Shut up. Give her some space.] In a group chat with Harvey's friends, someone wrote what no one dared say aloud. [I told you Harvey went out of line by turning a whole celebration into a funeral. Whatever happened, he should've waited until after the event. Jilian looked completely broken that day.] Someone stepped in and spoke up on Harvey's behalf. [Come on, a life was lost. We'd all pause for a stranger, let alone a first love. Everyone has a crush they never actua

She lies to them because the truth is the opposite of what she is experiencing. "Wow, good to hear Kim. Good for you because you ended up in the life of a handsome, rich, respected and above all sensible man." Again, Lia just smiled and said nothing. She didn't want to talk bad about Ethan in front of her friends. She didn't want them to know she was miserable. "Is Mr. Lopez, yummy, Lia?" Roxy asked her lamely again. "Um, of course." She lied again. It's better that they don't really know anything.

And quickly, I realize I have the perfect lie waiting to carry me home. “Okay,” I say again, glad to find my voice is steady. “You caught me - I did lie.” “Why?” Keith grinds out immediately, his golden eyes burning into my face. “Because I had to,” I tell him with perfect ease. “I’ve had to lie to everyone in order to keep myself hidden. My real identity is too valuable to just hand out to anyone.” “What the fuck are you talking about?” Keith asks, his eyes flickering between mine.

They make stories that everybody believes in. Luckily, I survived. I tell my mother everything and I know she was surprised and at the same time crushed. She didn’t know what to do because she couldn't believe what she heard. I know she both loves us and that makes her go insane. While Kevin keeps on denying the crime that she committed and sticks on the lies that they created. He even called his friends to testify, and they were synchronized. They are telling the same lies all over that convince everyone who heard it that what they are telling is true. While I am too young to defend myself and because of my parents love for him. They believe in him.

“You mean he’s setting us up?” “Yes,” I said plainly. “And if he’s willing to burn our food to burn Kieran, what else is he willing to burn? You? Your loyalty? Your life?” I pushed the fear not with a shout but a photograph of plausibility: small, specific lies that look like truth. “I’ve seen his list,” I lied, and because I spoke with the cadence of someone who had seen many lists, they believed. Tomas’s jaw tightened; Keel’s hands found the haft of his dagger.

“Don’t leave me! I want to go to school with you!” Keith made up his mind instantly when he heard their concerns. “I’ve lied to you about that. I’m sorry.” “My parents didn’t abuse me in any way. I had a fight with them, which is why I decided to leave.” Tina frowned. It was obvious that Keith was lying. “How do you explain the wounds on your body and the red marks on your face?” “They’re from an accident!” Keith replied stubbornly. Tina hesitated, but finally compromised. “Fine, then. I’ll let you go.”

She slipped the journal into the drawer behind her without a sound, hoping he hadn't noticed. Then she spun around, one step forward. With every step, the walls started to press in. Ethan wrapped his arm around her waist. Warm. Possessive. Confining. She smiled at him, falsely. Falsely she wasn't trembling in terror. Playing like she hadn't just discovered a secret he never intended for her to know. Playing like she already knew- This was just the beginning of the first lie. And there were so many more to follow.
