Novel & Cerita The Moment Of Truth Book

Alex seized my hand, his burning palm damp with perspiration. "Em, three months ago, her grandmother was dying. She was desperate when she begged me for help. "That night, I'd just finished entertaining clients, and I'd had too much to drink. I never imagined… "But you can relax, she'll never be welcomed into the Carter family. Your position is secure." The hospital room door suddenly burst open, and Brooke appeared, wearing an oversized hospital gown. She collapsed to her knees before me, tears flowing freely. "Ms. Shaw, please let the babies live! I want nothing else!"

Bubbles of air choked her throat, keeping the whispers back, letting out only a stutter at best. Monica took the King James Version Bible, raised it up with a hand and nervously gulped down, different panic and guilt thoughts raced through her head but she dismissed them - not totally. "I solemnly state I will tell the truth without hiding or adding anything and I should be punished for false testimonies if I lie." Her voice sounded mechanical, like the voice of a person reciting something written. I implore you to say the truth, just this once!

“I’m watching. And I know how to wait.” We were flying back tomorrow. The schedule was tight, and I had no intention of stretching it. This chapter—this particular performance—was over. But not all endings are defeats. Some are just the moment strategy starts to breathe. By midmorning, Dorris went down to retrieve the last of the documents from the conference suite. I stayed behind. I needed quiet space to sort through what hadn’t been said aloud. I opened my laptop and pulled up a blank document. No title. Just a place to put the truth down before it gets rewritten by memory.

"Why couldn't you have permitted a tribunal? Because she would have been the only one speaking the truth?" "The truth," the Home Secretary tribunal, "is that she had been employed by the intelligence services for approximately ten years. Who did she think she was? What did she think she was doing? What material did she consider she was watching every day? Where would I be if every person working for MI6 or MI5 vision of truth could trump their duty to this country? We're in the heart of a war," he continued. "In any war, truth is the first victim. Can you not see that? Could she not see it?"

Evelina pulled a book out of her bag that she borrowed earlier in the school library. BAM!!! The thumping sound of the book she put on her desk, sounded very loud because the book was quite heavy and thick. Evelina checks the book and she realizes that she borrowed so much. She didn’t expect that the books borrowed by her were enough. So, no wonder Rissa commented on this morning. “Let’s see what books I just borrowed ...,” murmured while sorting out the book. “There’s a Sherlock Holmes novel, Her Last Word, A Time Return, ... and finally you’re my butterfly?”

Negativities surrounded him. I blinked away the tears in my eyes as my mind went back to the times when Dave's mother helped me with my studies. She was a very soft-hearted and affectionate woman. I suddenly felt guilty. She deserved justice. Not this. My attention was focused on the sign posted on the wall of the Broadcast Room. "Truth shall prevail!" I am holding the truth, yet I was torn with my selfishness and responsibilities. This got to be the major decision that I was about to make. It's either I'll take it, or I'll leave it.

And in that fragile moment, I realized the truth. This wasn’t a hunt anymore.

TIME SKIP I heard the door opening and shutting. I looked at the time and saw that it was 3:30 pm. I hadn't realised that so much time had passed. The triplets must be the ones here. I still hadn't seen Pedro; he must've slept late last night. I got up and put the book on the couch. I started walking when I was suddenly crushed by a heavyweight. I hissed, and the person crushing me let go. "Fuck, I'm sorry, I just missed you." I heard Kenny say while he continued giving me head kisses.

"The way we went about all of it. The exposure, the testimony, the book." "Not for a single moment," he said immediately, without the pause that qualified hesitation. "Truth is never regretful. It is painful, sometimes. It is costly, sometimes. But it liberates in ways that nothing else can. You know that. You are sitting in the evidence of it right now."

"I can't believe you'd want to harm him! Tell me you had a reason, any reason. Just speak, and I'll believe you!" James's voice broke as he shouted at me. His eyes were red with a desperate need for a different truth. All eyes were on me. I locked eyes with James, my voice steady and challenging. "Isn't that a question you should be asking yourself? "You're the one who killed Brian, after all."
