The Lie Parents Guide Novels & Stories

"All that noise. All that gold. And it was all built on a lie that a few people in the cold just dismantled." Adrian turned her to face him. He took her hands in his. "We have a long life ahead of us, Lydia. There will be challenges. Leo will grow up, and he’ll have questions. We’ll have to tell him why his father has scars on his back and why his mother is the reason the lights went out in the High District." "We’ll tell him the truth," Lydia said. "That his inheritance wasn't the blood. It was the choice to be human."

"Your mother loved Hector. And Hector loved her too. But there was someone else who loved him as well. Krulisa, she loved your father too." Another secret had opened up. And there was no way their parents weren't aware of this! "How much, HOW MUCH EXACTLY DID OUR PARENTS LIE TO US?" I could feel him. I could feel his pain. "Ethel calm-" "Don't ask me TO CALM DOWN CATTY! We are in the middle of a war, I can't assist you girls inside the institutes, and every day, EVERY FU***** DAY there is a new problem! And now, we keep listening to things about our parents that we never knew!" He tries holding back his tears. "Did they send us here to die? Were we sent here as scapegoats?"

The betrayal. She swallowed hard again, forcing her voice into a low, steady hum. “I’m sorry,” she whispered, because it was all she could say. Not just for his family—but for the lie. For the mission. For being the very thing his father tried to escape. Because now she knew the truth. The real monsters weren’t the ones hiding the weapon. They were the ones who sent her.

“Justin, you are an idiot, mom and dad are planning to surprise us with another little sibling, right mom, dad?” Sara added further, showing herself as a true investigator, who detected lie on the faces. “Shut up both of you, and tell me what exactly is going on here.” Alex scolded them seriously before the kids could embarrass their parents more, and the kids also understood that no matter what, they can’t chase their parents without answering their questions. “Dad, seriously there were some important lessons we were practising.” Sara, the dad’s princess, immediately repeated their old lie.

From the outside, everyone thought we were the perfect family. I am gagging as I write, if only they knew the truth. To neighbors, to the pack, to anyone who glimpsed us in passing, we were polished and enviable - a household that seemed untouched by struggle. My parents made certain of it. We were always clean, always well-dressed, our hair neatly brushed and our shoes shining as though they carried the weight of our reputation. Every gesture was rehearsed, every word measured, as if our very existence had to honor some unseen code. All lies. I learned to hate lies and determined that when I grew up I would only speak the truth.

Chloe muttered. “Chloe,” Layla said firmly, shifting the conversation. “I need you to tell my parents I’m staying at your house.” “What?” “Just say we’re studying,or watching movies. You know,something normal.” “Layla, this is lying to your parents.” “I know.” “You never lie to your parents.” “I know.” “This is insane.” Chloe said as she sighed heavily “I just need tonight,” Layla said quietly. “Please.” There was a long exhale on the other end.

"Dad, Medina Group is expanding its business in Lumiere City lately, right? I want to go there for a while, to learn and see how things work." My father sounded puzzled, his tone turning stern. "Lia, did you and Rudolf fight? Why else would you want to go so far away to Lumiere City?" He was sharp, already sensing something was wrong. But I couldn't tell him the truth yet. "I'll explain after I get there." The Medinas and the Grays had been close for generations, with business ties strengthened by our marriage. I didn't want the Medinas to suffer because of me. "…Alright." He didn't press further and agreed.

He lounged on the sofa, with Macie Rogers snuggled against him, and shouted, "Come on, take it off! Or I'll cut off your mom's treatment right now." The thought of my mom, sick in the hospital, made my hands tremble as I started to unbutton my shirt, exposing a part of my chest. The crowd's eyes were glued to me, some even whistling mockingly. Suddenly, a warm jacket landed on my shoulders, enveloping me. Adrian's eyes blazed with fury as he stared at me down. "Liliana, you've got guts!" Tears filled my eyes as I met his gaze. "Isn't this what you wanted?"

"I love him, Nelson. I don't know when or how it happened, but I love him." Nelson flinched, as if I'd stabbed his heart. "Lily… no." "I do," I insisted, my voice firmer now. "I love him, Nelson." Nelson's face twisted in pain and outrage. "You love him? The man whose family killed our parents? I swallowed hard. "I don't know if it's true. We don't know the whole truth, Nelson. We have to know before we commit another mistake. You've already hurt so many people. Don't let this be a mistake."

She turned back and walked towards Kyle, she looked at him before looking at me, with a glare "No one will ever love you, you will never get a man as good as Kyle. You are pathetic Tara, sorry to say but no one likes a girl who keeps secrets from her boyfriend." Damn, she always gets me, I hate the fact she always gets to my head. She turned back and was about to leave when I stop her, I walked towards her and stood right in front of her, staring into her eyes "For your kind information Maria, you are the pathetic one, not me, if I remember clearly, Kyle didn’t cheat on me, actually, we were playing each other." I said before I looked at Kyle. It hurts me to lie but I have no other choice, I
