The Last Lie Told Novels & Stories

“After one last job, he said… I could be released, but I didn't believe it. I'm also certain that he won't tell me anything else because I want to let him go.” “So, what do you mean? Why are you telling me all this now? Let me sympathize with you? Or what?!” Lia can feel herself feeling frustrated, annoyed and also angry. He really couldn't stop thinking about what Salsa said. Did he now want to ask her for help? Or did he want to ask himself to stop Leo's evil actions? Leah didn't understand at all.

He lowered his gaze to me, and for a brief moment, panic flashed across his eyes. "Who told you that? Everyone at the company knew I was supposed to be in Valoria." He walked over to the water dispenser and poured himself a glass. "Summer forgot to turn off the speakerphone." Conrad stopped drinking. For nearly 30 seconds, neither of us spoke. Then he turned around and sighed. "Since you heard it, I won't hide it from you. You're right. I didn't go to Valoria. The flight was canceled." He pulled out a chair and sat down. His tone was so open and relaxed that he might as well have been discussing the weather.

" I stared him down, my face cold as ice. Then I pulled out my phone and hit play on an old recording—his voice with Riley, before they left together. "You lied to me. You didn't go bankrupt. You gave Riley everything, every damn penny. You even wrote her name in your will!" My voice cracked, the anger spilling out. "You let another woman and her kid live fancy while your own children were stuck in a basement, hungry. Sheldon, you're the worst excuse for a father I've ever met." His eyes went wide. He seemed to wonder why I hadn't exposed him sooner. "No, it wasn't like that. I-I was out of my mind. I made a mistake. That's all. I swear, I was just messing around with her. You and the boys,

The room, which had been peaceful just moments ago, suddenly felt heavy again with Dad's words. I smiled bitterly. What wolf? My wolf had already died while fighting off the Silverthorn Wolfsbane. That toxin, laced with silver, had seeped into my bloodstream and eventually corroded my organs. And in the end, it killed my wolf. "Dad, I know Viola lied before, acted out, and pretended to be sick. But that was the old her. I believe she's better now," Jane said, looking at me with a sharp, taunting look. She sounded like she was defending me, but all I could hear was her reminding everyone of my past mistakes.

All of which were true, even if the truth itself was a lie. When Noah graduated college, I cried harder than I had in years. He got a job in New York big lights, big stage, big world. I packed his bags and kissed his forehead. “Call me every Sunday,” I said, fighting tears. He hugged me so tightly that I almost broke and told him everything. But I didn’t. Months passed. Then one Sunday, his voice sounded different. “Mom… I met someone. Well, not like that. A man. Older. He hired me. We talk a lot.”

“You didn’t put your hands on me in the way you’re thinking. We had an argument. We disagreed. It happens in every relationship. I’m fine. Nothing happened last night.” For the first time since waking, he looked at me directly. Just for a second. Then his gaze dropped again. “Say it,” I pressed, desperate. “Say nothing happened last night.” I waited, hope flickering weakly in my chest. But as the seconds stretched, it became clear he wasn’t going to give me the lie I wanted. Finally, he spoke, his voice quiet but devastatingly final. “Something happened last night, Lizzie. I’m sorry… but I can’t lie to myself.”

"Congratulations—on raising someone else's child." With that, I turned and walked away. Behind me, Silas erupted into a hoarse scream. "Impossible! That's impossible! Ariana, you lied to me—you lied, didn't you?! Ahhhhh! Come back! Ariana, come back!" His voice grew weaker and weaker, likely drowned out as the police restrained him.

Emma laughed bitterly. "I know that." Her voice trembled. "I want the truth." Sophia lowered her head. "I know." "Then tell me." "Tell me why you've been with Liam all these months." Sophia closed her eyes. "It's not what you think." Emma's heart broke. "Then what is it?" Sophia looked up. Her eyes were red from crying. "Liam never cheated on you." Emma stared at her. "What?" "He loves you." Noah frowned. "Then why the lies?"

“You’re all liars.” My heart broke in a slow, painful way. I had seen him like this before, years ago, a boy with too much anger and nowhere safe to put it. A boy who had been shaped by cruelty and taught that love always came with conditions. “I wish I were lying,” I said softly. My voice felt weak, but I forced myself to keep going. “God knows I do.” He shook his head violently. “Stop talking.” But I didn’t stop. Because this was the moment. The last moment. And if I didn’t speak now, this lie would survive longer than any of us.
