Truths Untold Novels & Stories

I asked another question waiting for what he was gonna lie about this time "Well we did take pictures but..." "Dad that's enough, spare me the energy to listen to your lies" I hushed him angrily "You lied once to my face and you're about doing it again don't you have any ounce of dignity in you?" I lashed out and brought out my phone to show him the picture i took back in Seattle "What can you say about that huh? any more lies?" I asked already getting teary "Vanessa I can explain, keeping it from you wasn't intentional, we were waiting for the right time to drop the news maybe when you were older cause we didn't know how you were gonna take it" he tried explaining himself

Broken. Some truths are better left hidden. Some truths destroy you the moment they surface. And this truth? I didn’t think I would ever recover.

"What is this? You're scaring me, Kianna. Just talk to me." "What don't you get?" She finally let it out, the words sharp and venomous. "I don’t want the stories. I don't want the excuses. I want the truth. Why did you hide everything? Why did you make a game out of our life? I thought… I thought we were building something real!" Her voice cracked on the final word, a jagged, raw sound that made me wince. She began to sob, not a quiet cry, but a ragged, terrifying release.

Ethan leaned against the bedroom door, also staring at me coolly. Vivian came in behind them, her eyes glued to my luggage, unable to hide her glee. For a moment, I wanted to tell the truth. But then I remembered Damian's impatience at the hospital, the cruel words he had uttered. "If it's something unimportant like that, you don't need to tell us." Suddenly, I just didn't feel like explaining anymore. That way, when I left, I could at least pretend they just didn't know, not that they didn't care.

Sighing, he rubbed the back of his neck and said, "I apologize for what I did earlier. I shouldn't have lied to you about the cramp, and I shouldn't have tried to push you into doing something you weren't ready for." She said nothing, so he shifted to lean against a railing post and face her. "Chris, I'm just going to be honest with you. Your touch does something to me -- it always has -- and I should have realized what would have happened if you gave me a massage. I truly was trying save you the embarrassment of knowing...well, knowing how I always react to you. But I promise you that I won't ever do anything like that again, until you are ready. I live here, so we do have to see each

He stood in front of me and ordered the bodyguards to take them both away. At last, it seemed that all the truths had come to light. The others who had been watching the drama unfold stood in eerie silence. I approached the host, who was still in shock, and smiled. "Could I borrow the microphone?" Behind me, the screen started playing footage of my more than a decade of dedication to learning traditional pottery. There were no fancy edits, and the compositions weren't particularly stunning. But what it did show was the sweat and struggles I had endured over the years.

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.

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?

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.
