"W-We were worried you would be nervous on your first night home! We were just joking to help you relax." Gillian and Keith nodded repeatedly. "Yes! That's right! The joke was poorly timed. We'll be more careful in the future!" I smiled, switched the stun gun back on, and shocked all three of them again. "Still lying, huh? I already know who the real heiress is." Orson forced a strained smile. "What are you talking about? The heiress is obviously you." "The DNA test proved it. There's no doubt about that." "Hurry up and untie us. Stop messing around, alright?"

Before the birthday party even began, Jeannie Collins cast her phone screen onto the large display in the private room. Then she started an anonymous poll in the group chat she shared with all our mutual friends. The question was simple: [Should I stay with my boyfriend to cut the birthday cake tonight, or go with my childhood friend to his movie premiere?] Thirty seconds. The countdown began. The numbers kept climbing. [Childhood friend: 17 votes.] [Boyfriend: 1 vote.] Everyone assumed that one vote was mine. Jeannie leaned back against the couch, glanced at the results, and smiled. "Majority rules." Marvin Snyder immediately slipped the movie tickets into her hand. "Looks like eve

So I’m going to ask you one last time, and if you lie to me again, I swear to God it’s going to get really messy between us real fast. What did you two do?"

Neither of them spoke right away. Finally Sophia said, “This is what I meant.” Dominic nodded. “I know.” Sophia looked at him. “It doesn’t stay contained.” Dominic exhaled. “No… it doesn’t.” Sophia leaned back in her chair. “One lie turns into ten.” Dominic sat beside her. “And then everything falls apart.” Sophia looked out into the dark. “Exactly.” Dominic reached for her hand. “We stayed out of it.” Sophia squeezed his hand. “We stayed clean.”

She even lied—lied that Declan was starting to come around, lied that he spent some nights home with her now. Her mother didn’t believe it but refrained from pushing further. “Your father wouldn’t allow you to suffer like this if he were alive.” Those were her mother’s last words before they said goodnight. In the last five years of her marriage to Declan, she had told a lot of lies—lies built to cover what she never had. Just the day before, she had lied to her best friend.

"The mighty Simeon brought to his knees, his empire cracking under our weight. And the best part?" I leaned forward, eyes gleaming. "He still doesn't even know the full extent of what we've done.
