The Truth Beneath Novels & Stories

Rebecca was just a small-time nurse with big dreams back then. When we became an item, she shared her ambition to be a CEO. To make it happen, I tapped into my family's wealth and connections, investing in her future. I even drank myself to a bleeding ulcer to clinch a deal for her. She would look at me with those same eyes, tears in her gaze as she squeezed my hand, promising a lifetime of love forever. However, who could have known her promise of forever would last only five years? The irony stung. I could not hold back my question.

And when she finally spoke, her steadiness was a bit discomforting. “Jane… sometimes the truth doesn’t break us. It only shows that we’ve been living broken all along, and it gives us the opportunity to shape ourselves into something whole.” I wanted to believe her. I wanted to believe that uncovering the truth about my mother, about HAB, about Nathan, about Julia, about all of it, would give me wholeness instead of dragging me down to my knees. But the fear inside me whispered otherwise. Back to the Present I opened my eyes at my desk and drew in a deep breath.

Astrid interrupted them, so Colza's gaze turned towards her. "The Sacred Book only holds the truth about the King's action, like the lie he imprinted on the humans. Meanwhile, the Records of Lies has the present lies. For instance, the one Zaykee discovered inside the Kingdom of Saobar's underground," Jacob answered instead Colza while glancing at Astrid. "Ehh? The book also knows that?" Zaykee's eyes widened with open mouths as he stares at Jacob. "Yes," Jacob briefly answered. "I see," Astrid spoke.

Being the person who doesn't believe that true love exists, Destiny didn't have a problem agreeing to marry him. Especially not when that decision was made by her grandfather. But she's been deceived. Beneath that charming personality and beautiful face lies a dishonest man, a cheat. Beauty indeed is deceitful. What matters is what's inside. Unfortunately, Destiny might be disappointed but she's not going to shed a tear for Richard. What bothered Destiny was her grandfather who had so much faith in Richard. *** Getting out of the limo, Destiny and Arabella beamed at each other and faced the building. They entwined their hands and walked to the entrance.

Todd suggested and drove off "Leave the talking to me" He said a we approached the front desk "Hi, we're here to see Dr Jacob Miller, is he in?" Todd asked the lady "Do you have an appointment?" She simply asked not carrying any fake smile on her face "Yes we do" Todd let out a lie "Come on then" She said and let the way, i was left amazed not knowing that his lie could actually work "This is his office but he'll close soon, so be quick in there" She said and left us both, we knocked and were ushered in

Thankfully, Andre left you a pup and gave you hope to live on. "Jane, for the sake of your child, you need to pull yourself together." I stood there with misty eyes. Sweet memories of Andre and me remained vivid, yet there he was, telling me that he and I were forever separated. Betrayal had cruelly crushed the lovely memories we shared. I couldn't make any sense of this. Why did I end up being lied to after offering my unconditional trust and love? Was Andre still expecting me to bear his pup—the offspring of a man who wanted to be Callie's boyfriend?

Of course, I was bundled up tightly. I asked him, "Am I dying soon, Kevin? The nurse told me I don't need to do chemotherapy anymore." Kevin held back his tears as he replied, "That's not it. You don't need to do chemotherapy anymore because you're recovering soon. Actually, there's another belief—that a person's soul doesn't truly die, but instead, it rests in the grave, along with their memories." I laughed. "You're really funny, Kevin. You're truly a perfect cemetery sales advisor with lines like that—even I was moved by such a romantic pitch."

Cold dread spread across my chest like frost, silencing the fire just long enough to listen. Dangerous? The word echoed in my head, louder than I wanted to admit. And that’s when it hit me, this wasn’t over. Not even close. There was still more. More lies. More secrets. More truths buried beneath years of silence. Beneath years of facade. And I wasn’t ready for what I was about to uncover.

It has been about uncovering the humanity buried beneath generations of rewritten history. The chamber falls silent once more. The Origin Book finally responds. A faint silver glow spreads across its cover before a single line appears. "Truth remembered is only the beginning." Before Valerie or Silas can react, a low rumble echoes through the hidden passage. The old chamber begins responding to something deeper beneath the foundation. Whatever remains hidden below has awakened. And for the first time, it was not responding to the Blood Oath. It was responding to the truth.

Each symbol pulsed in sync with the words still blazing overhead: "Truth Has Teeth." “What does that mean?” she asked finally, her voice barely above a whisper. Selene hesitated, her expression darkening. “It means whatever answers we’re seeking here won’t come easily—or painlessly. This place exists outside normal reality; it’s a nexus point where truths are revealed without filter or mercy. And once you step inside…” She trailed off, shaking her head. “There’s no turning back.” Jessica clenched her fists, frustration bubbling beneath her skin. “We don’t have a choice. If this is where the answers lie, then we go in.”
