The Lies Book Novels & Stories

He had never known a day of indulgence in his life. I had once believed that if I just worked hard enough, earned enough money, I could ransom Joe and provide a shield over my son and me. But all along, it had been a lie. My years of toil were nothing but a cruel joke. Tears fell onto the ashes, and only then did I realize my face was already soaked. I turned off the screen, wiped my tears, and closed my eyes tightly. 'Joe… I'm done playing along with your lies.' …

“What happened again?” “I…” I swallowed and my heart rate picked up as I prepared to lie to him. “I don’t really remember the details. I just know that Lexa, you remember her, right? She, like, kidnapped me I guess?” It didn’t even sound true to my own ears. I had always been complete shit at lying, especially to dad. It didn’t help that he had a built-in lie detector and almost always caught people in the act. He hummed thoughtfully at my statement and turned to face me a little more. He was sitting opposite me on the couch, one of his arms slung over the back in a way that would’ve looked casual had it been anyone else doing it.

she said at my derisive snort, “but I don’t know why you spoke with him if you’re so convinced you have all the answers about your father’s past.” “Just covering all the bases.” “Nuh-uh.” I could feel her shaking her head vigorously. “You’ve found something that changed your mind, haven’t you?” The gleam was back. The infuriating woman was like her stupid dog with a bone. “Look, I’ll tell you what I can when I can,” I lied, “but right now I don’t have anything more than ideas.” I didn’t particularly enjoy misleading her, and I suspected that she wouldn’t be fooled, anyway, but I couldn’t risk sharing. I needed to do this, and I needed to do it without being held back by hangers-on, no matter

"Why? People will want to make money out of it." "The last person that tried to duplicate it died." "What killed him?" "He just died." Nahigra responded, and I kept quiet. "How did you get the book?" Nahigra asked me, but I made a promise to the man that I won't spill to anyone. "No one. I just got it from a library." It wasn't a concrete lie, but I had to say something before she started doubting. She stared at me, it is well written on her facial expression that I just told a very big lie. But, I'm here to make sure that lies become the truth.

"I would've thought that out of everyone, you'd be the one most against my decision to remain concealed. You do hate liars after all." "Yes, but there is lying to hurt others, and lying for the greater good, and this decision will no doubt be for the latter. Not to mention, you're not technically lying to them, you're just not telling them everything. It's not like anyone has actually asked whether you're Kalani Ivashkov yet."

Bottomless Revulsion. All because I lied.

Nobody wants to be lied to, least of all me, but what she did has remained lodged in my belly like a burr the size of a plum. I pull up short before I turn the corner near her bedroom. Of course. It’s because of who I am ... because of what I am. A lie between ordinary people can be waved away. A thing of simplicity solved with an apology or a cheap gift. But here in this underworld I’ve spent my entire life in, lies are dangerous. To deceive someone here among the corrupt and cruel is to declare war. If one of my men lied to me, I’d assume their plan was a betrayal.

"When you spread lies that I was a servant and turned the whole campus against me, did that make you feel dignified? When you threw the bloodstained sheets into my washbasin and tried to force me to wash them, did that make you feel dignified?" Her lips moved, but no words came out. "The real poverty is inside you, not in your bank account. You think the world owes you everything. When you can't have something, you resent the people who do. You hate them and try to destroy them. You think everyone owes you, so you turn the whole world into your enemy. Viola… That's the most pathetic thing about you." Her mouth opened, but she could not speak. Then, she lowered her head, her shoulders shaking

She had to marry the man one way or another.
