The Lies We Steal Audiobook นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Damien asked, and Gavin felt uncomfortable by the question. "She did not, but..." "Then your claim is a false one, and you should know what happens when people make false claims like this; they may be sued." "Sued? You are acting all high and mighty, but I know that you are going to dump her the second you realize the truth in all I have told you." Gavin said. "I do not know why you think I should listen to you," Damien said. This was not going the way that Gavin thought it would go; he should have been able to successfully peel Lila away from him because that was the right thing to do. "You would wish that you had listened to me in the future."

My stepmother sneered down at me. "Are you calling me a liar, you worthless creature? I had the maids search your things when you weren’t around, and they found it hidden. Isn’t that right?" She turned to the maids, who nodded obediently, no doubt threatened into lying for her. "I overheard your little conversation with my daughter, you telling her you wanted to run away. I know you stole the Moon Gem to sell and start a new life elsewhere. That was your plan all along, wasn’t it?" I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. What had I ever done to this woman? Why was she so bent on destroying me? I couldn’t even find the words to defend myself—the lies were too much. I was drowning in them.

But what? "What are you trying to do, think of another lie to tell us?" Cara spat, her voice venomous. "There's no lie to tell, Sibel. We already know the truth. You're a thief. You stole my diamond-encrusted shoes, remember? I can see you've forgotten so easily, but I haven't. I knew you were a thief from the start." Cara's words cut deep, and I felt my anger rise. "How dare you!" I exclaimed, but Cara kept going.

“It has been alleged that your marriage was built on deception. That you misled not only the pack, but this entire council.” I did not react immediately. Instead, I allowed a slow breath to leave my lungs. “And where,” I asked calmly, “did you obtain such news?” Before the elder could respond, Leonard stepped forward. “Does it matter?” he said smoothly. “The fact is, you lied.” I turned my head toward him slowly. For a moment, I simply looked at him. Then I laughed. “Very well,” I said casually. “Leonard stole ten million from my pack’s treasury.”

' I asked, wondering whether there was any connection to the Lilith I'd read in stories. His nose wrinkled. 'Yeah, but don't believe everything you've heard. She never stole any babies, wasn't ever married to Adam and she definitely wasn't a demon. All lies created by the Council to discredit her.' Picking up the book again, he held it in both hands, gingerly brushing his thumbs over the cover. He gave a small smile as he looked down at the Gospel in his hands and I could see how much it meant to him to have it back. 'Why did you steal back the book?' I asked. 'I thought you didn't want Oscar to have it?'

"I know there's more, Lloyd. More than what you've revealed. Secrets that could make or break your campaign. Some secrets could make your desires come true. Tell me, and I promise you, I'll make it worth your while." Lloyd hesitated momentarily, his mind grappling with the risk of exposing his vulnerabilities. But the allure of Rubi's offer was too tempting to resist. He took a deep breath, his gaze unwavering. "There's a hidden alliance," he confessed, his voice laced with a blend of fear and excitement. "A group of influential individuals who have the power to sway the election outcome."

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

He paused, the silence in the room now absolute, charged with anticipation. “For the past several weeks, you have been fed a story. A story about a predatory billionaire. A story about a manipulative, gold-digging young woman. A story about a scandalous pregnancy and a blackmail scheme.” He let the words hang, the familiar, salacious narrative hovering in the air. “That story,” he said, his voice hardening, “was a lie. A malicious, calculated, and devastating lie.” A murmur ran through the crowd. He pressed on.

My chest tightened. My mouth opened but no words came out. My throat felt dry as sand. He leaned in closer until his face was inches from mine. I could feel the heat of his breath. “You think you can play games with us, Lisa? Keep lying, and you’ll spend the night here and maybe a few more after that. You want that?” I swallowed hard, shaking my head. “No,” I whispered. “Then tell me the truth.” His voice lowered, but the menace in it made me shiver. “Why did you steal it?”

“But let’s be very clear, stealing something sentimental and lying about it in front of witnesses and the media? That’s a crime.” Wren’s entire body stiffened, her flushed face now streaked with fresh tears. “Ophelia…please,” she whispered. “You can’t do this. Tell them that you're lying.” Ophelia tilted her head, a mocking smile playing on her lips. “You should’ve thought of that before sneaking into my cloakroom like a petty thief.” “Ophelia, don't lie. I didn't steal it. Why would I steal such an expensive necklace? Tell them the truth that you gave it to me and the necklace you have wasn't that expensive-”
