The Little Liar Goodreads Novels & Stories

“At dawn. Alone. Without security. Without telling anyone.” I swallowed hard, forcing myself to nod. “Yes.” For a long moment, silence pressed between us. His gaze pinned me where I stood, sharp as a blade, cutting deeper the longer it lingered. Finally, he stepped closer. “You’re lying.” My breath hitched, but I shook my head quickly. “I’m not.” His lips curved, not in a smile, but something colder. “You forget, Zaria. I grew up in a house of liars. I know the look of a lie better than anyone and I also know what you’re capable of.”

Luca finished gently, sitting beside her. Her eyes flicked to him. “Exactly. I want to fight that. I want to write stories that make them answer for what they’ve done. Loan sharks, corrupt businessmen, all of them.” “You’d be amazing at that,” he said without hesitation. “You’re stubborn as hell and you don’t shut up when you know you’re right. Perfect journalist material.” She laughed, swatting at his arm. “That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me.”

The title of the book was, 'My Last Wish'. The book was about a beautiful poor and hardworking girl called Daisy. She was smarter than most in the Country of Envia, despite being a peasant. Her one desire in life was to visit the palace library. Like me, she had been an orphan, but unlike me, she had been adopted by an abusive family. One night, tired of the abuse that her adoptive mother's drunken escapades brought, she fled their cottage. On the road, she ran into the carriage of a nobleman, who took pity on her situation.

“You want to dance around the truth, fine. But this game of yours it ends soon. I’m getting closer.” “To what?” he asked, voice dropping. “To me? Or to the truth?” Damn him. He leaned forward. “You’re chasing ghosts. You think I’m the big bad wolf, but I’m not the one you should be afraid of.” “You are the one I should be afraid of,” I whispered, hating the truth in the words. “You make people disappear. You lie with a smile. You kiss like you mean it, then walk away like it meant nothing.”

“This world is nothing but liars.” Dante slid his arm around her waist, his lips brushing her hair. “Then let’s be the best liars of them all.” Their eyes lingered on their daughter, the wolf and his queen watching their heir sleep, their reign carved in blood, their future balanced on lies. For now, it was enough.

He finished his story with tears streaking down his cheek. "You are the boy from the story, arent you? I could tell from the start" Lia said noticing the tears in his eyes. For the first time, she looked into his eyes and all he could see was a young man who has walked through volcanoes, and not a thief. But she dared not believe all his stories, they might just be another bait to lure her into another trap.

he laughed it off as I nodded, my disappointment in him getting bigger as I smiled. “Dad, you’re not so good at lying. I’ve known you for, what, a couple of years now, and throughout that period, I’ve seen all your moves. Whenever you lie, you twist your ankle and you act strangely. Your voice gets tiny and windy, and you start to look away. I can also tell that your ears jiggle a bit, but I’m guessing that’s just a random coincidence. Just tell me what I need to know: please: it’s important.” But he shook his head. “I’m not telling you anything. That book is supposed to be for rulers of this kingdom, not for anybody.”

It's just that I'm his super fan. But this figure who is reading my favorite book, turns the page in the last chapter. I don't think she's read the whole book since I left until now, so she must have already read it or she's just browsing. "Moral: don't stick with just one version," he murmurs as he closes the book and the light from the lantern coming through the window illuminates one of his eyes, showing a dull gold. —You see, they paint us that the bad guy is the wolf when it could well have been Little Red Riding Hood.

From time to time, she felt the babies move less, then stir again, then settle. After a few pages, Xavier closed the book. “Are they still restless?” “A little calmer. Maybe they’re deciding if the story was interesting enough,” Liora said. “I’ll have to improve my narration quality.” “You still sound like a CEO even when you’re reading bedtime stories,” Liora teased. Xavier raised a brow. “I am a CEO.” Liora chuckled, then went quiet. Something pressed on her heart. “Xavier?” “Hm?”

Nagkibit siya ng balikat ang nag-iwas ng tingin. I pursed my lips before I spoke. "How I wish, it didn't came this far." "This is better, Elie than to leave in lies. We all played with lies and finally, the time has come." He muttered and looked at me seriously. "It's so hard to live in lies, everyday Elie and I couldn't even tell it to you." He added and his tears fell.
