The Lying Game Ruth Ware Synopsis Novels & Stories

Devi walked to her, his possessive hand landing on her shoulder, his thumb tracing the line of her throat. "It's the rest of the story, Cali baby. The reason I had to burn that warehouse. It wasn't just your father and the Valentis. It was a three-way deal. And the third party? They’re the ones who really run the Commission."Cali stood up, her chair screeching against the floor. Her grumpy face was a mask of lethal, ruthless resolve. "The vault. Now." She didn't wait for his answer. She headed for the car, her hand resting on the pearl-handled derringer. She was the Queen of the Docks, but she was still a prisoner of the secrets he’d kept to protect her.

The legs of his chair scraped loudly against the floor, a harsh grating sound that filled the small space. I leaned closer, my voice dropping even lower. The table edge pressed into my ribs as I moved in. "Do you want what happened to come to light? Do you want your wife to find out about you bursting your nut on my face?" I muttered low with a smirk, getting him to sit his ass down. I reminded him with every word that he was the one with everything to lose and not me. His face went pale, the color draining like water down a sink, and he dropped back into the chair with a heavy thump. The air between us grew thicker, charged with his tension.

"Viola, how dare you come looking for me? If you hadn't spent every day turning me against her, how would I have..." Viola's voice turned sharp. "You're blaming me? Would you have dated her if you hadn't wanted the Lane family's money? Stop the act, Aaron! Didn't you pursue her because her last name was Lane? Then you dumped her as soon as you decided she wasn't really from that Lane family. What makes you think you're any better?"

She laughed too easily, flirted too recklessly. I shouldn’t use it. God, it’s a lie. But the longer I look, the more I ache. My thumb hovers. Then I crop the photo, smooth the light, press upload. The rush hits instantly, like stepping onto a high ledge. Shame and thrill colliding in my stomach. “What are you doing, Aria?” I whisper to the empty room. “Lying.” But for the first time in years, I don’t feel dead. I feel… dangerous.

“I went to my room to get my phone.” The lie slid out of him effortlessly. I could almost respect the ease of it, I didn’t press, not yet, until I have enough evidence. The silence settled again, heavy but at least controlled. Then he ruined it. “What’s your deal?” he asked, his tone edged with irritation. I looked up from my plate slowly. “I don’t understand.” He scoffed under his breath, leaning back in his chair like he was done pretending. “Why are you suddenly acting like you care about Ruth? I don’t see any cameras. No paparazzi. So why the performance?”

She looked at Scott with a fake, hurt expression, shaking her head slowly. "What on earth are you talking about, Alpha? Love potion?" Ruth scoffed, acting proper confused. "I’ve only ever brought you the best stamina tonics for your health and the good of this pack. Who’s been filling your head with such wicked lies?" Her eyes darted sharply toward me, full of suspicion. Ruth’s smooth lying was the absolute final straw for Scott’s fraying temper. The silk handkerchief soaked in the mysterious goo was already in Scott’s pocket, and Ruth’s denial was the final nail in the coffin for his trust.

She could only see his back but he was clutching his side waist and his walk was unsteady, like he was badly hurt. My coin... Megan thought as she bent down and looked into the drain hole. She pouted as she saw her coin laying in there. My wish... She stood back up and rested her hands on her hips, glaring at the alley where the man had just disappeared into. I want my wish back! She thought angrily and made her way into the dark alley. "Mister! You-"

"Son, are you drunk?" "I am not drunk, I just hate myself for scaring her, I swear, I am not going to rape her, fine, I know that, I can't control myself when I am around her but I swear, I will never rape her."

Williams Richard who was having a soothing shower in the washroom, asked from the washroom. Ruth ignored him and headed back to the king sized bed on the right hand side of the room,with her body wreaking of alcohol she tossed herself on the bed and laughed hysterically. Williams Richard came out of the bathroom and saw a woman who looks in her early twenties lying comfortably on his bed,he arched her a confused brow and hissed frustratedly. He gasped in surprise and walked towards the entrance. He slammed it open and glanced at the hallway wondering how a drunk lady ended up in his bedroom.

"There is no right for us ladies to obey you because of your pervert tiny dick. This is where we will turn the rolls now. You need to do as I say." "You wish." "I see you're having a good time. All right, then." After giving the knife a slight gliding motion, I stabbed him in the thigh, causing him to scream out in anguish. "You bitch!" He screamed, and I turned the knife in his leg, which caused his wail to echo throughout the room.
