Trust Nobody Not Even Yourself Novels & Stories

His gaze stayed on mine for a second too long, like he was trying to decide whether to trust me. Then finally he nodded. “We’re not jumping to conclusions.” Relief hit me instantly. I almost exhaled. “Continue investigating,” he ordered. The drive back to the office felt unbearable. No one talked. I sat beside Adrian, staring blankly out the window while my thoughts spiraled. How could my ID be there? Who used it? Then Natalia broke the silence. “When you trust people too much,” she said softly, “they eventually disappoint you.” No one answered.

“I am sorry for deceiving you.” “Don’t worry about that. I am happy that you have been by my side. If not for you, I would have fallen for Landon’s schemes.” Stormie started laughing. “This was a lesson for me. I realize that I am a little too trusting of others. It is a weakness of mine I need to work on.” Hearing her laugh helped calm my stress about my father’s condition. “There is nothing wrong with that. Trust is not a weakness. It is a strength. The only thing you need to worry about is being true to yourself. Let me worry about protecting you.”

Lester stops us from arguing. “Yes, I do not usually tell everything to all of you because I am not like that person. Is it my fault that I don’t like sharing about myself with everyone? I am also like this to our other friends. If you don’t trust me, this friendship is useless because we can’t try to trust each other.”

I fished it out of my purse and noticed that an unknown number was calling me. I answered the call and pressed the phone to my ear. "Hello," I answered. There was silence on the other end. "Hello." I tried again, but there was still no answer. The call was immediately disconnected. Weird. Maybe it was the wrong number. I got a message just then. I checked my inbox and opened the most recent chat. I read the message written in bold capital letters. TRUST IS LIKE AN ERA. IT GETS SMALLER WITH EVERY MISTAKE MADE.

I repeated, “and I’m grateful to be here tonight.” Adam shook his head. “Still wrong. You want to sound like a real person.” “I am a real person,” I muttered. “To the rest of the world? Not yet.” His tone wasn’t unkind—just matter-of-fact. “Right now, you’re a story. A headline. A spectacle. We want to change that. Pretend you’re home. Pretend you’re talking to someone you trust.” That word—trust—was a knife. Who did I trust now? Not Clara. Not Williams. Not Marcus. Not Julian.

I said, "Only I have root access to this machine. I'll handle all the maintenance, and the ownership stays with me. The company only has the right to use it." Martin answered without hesitation, "No problem! We're partners, aren't we?" A ripple went through the courtroom. Martin flushed a shameful red. His lawyer froze, clearly caught off guard by the truth his client had withheld from him. "This is your so-called evidence?" I looked straight at Martin. "Even in court, you're cherry-picking the truth and lying to the judge. Did you think that just because I'm quiet, I don't know how to protect myself? People in tech care about one thing above all else—backups. Consider this a free life lesso

“The sadness. Is it the real kind or is it the kind people perform?” I thought about the question with the seriousness it deserved. “I think it is the real kind,” I said. “Fifty years of pursuing something that turned out to be the wrong thing. The cost of recognising that is real regardless of what you are built from.” Anya absorbed this. “Does the real kind of sadness mean she can be trusted?” she asked. “No,” I said. “Not on its own. Trust is demonstrated through behaviour over time. The sadness just means she is genuinely reckoning with something rather than performing reckoning.”

It's one of the things I love about him, he never dismisses me. "Trust," he says finally, the word heavy. "A year ago, I didn't trust anyone except Mike. Not fully. I trusted people to do their jobs, to keep my secrets, to serve my interests. That's transactional. But I didn't trust anyone with myself, with who I really was beneath the suit and the bank accounts." "And now?" "Now I trust you both with everything. My fears, my failures, my ridiculous collection of vintage jazz records that I've never admitted to owning because I thought they made me look soft." He shakes his head slightly, a small, self-deprecating smile touching his lips.

“Do you trust me?” I stared at him, and the truth echoed through me louder than anything else: I trusted him more than I trusted myself. And isn't that what they always say? You can trust your enemy more than you trust yourself sometimes—because at least you know where your enemy stands. But with yourself—your doubts, your fears—you never really know. Do people even say that, or is that just what I want to believe when it comes to Brant freaking Paxton? My mind can come up with anything.
