Two Truths One Lie Novels & Stories

I cut him off, pointing out, "You may not know, but you touch your earlobe when you lie." His hand hung in mid-air, then dropped as he tried to pull me close. "It's not what you think. I can explain." I pulled up the video and shoved it to his face. "This is why you bailed on me seven times, right?" I looked him in the eye. He held me, flustered. "I had my reasons." I waited for him to continue, curious about the reasons that had pushed him to marry Vivian behind my back and lie for three years.

Something normal. I carry my plate to the sitting room. Distraction. That’s what I need. I settle on a random rom-com, letting it play in the background. It doesn’t work. Because my mind drifts anyway. Alexander teaching me how to ride a bicycle. “Don’t let go!” “I won’t. ” A lie. Alexander teaching me how to fly a kite. Alexander standing in front of my bullies, his voice low and dangerous. Alexander doing my homework while I watched, pretending I understood everything.

He was seated at the center there and there fixing his hair as he leans back on his chair. "Miss Kenba is this really your real name?" What? Am l caught red-handed or they are just testing me. There is no way that they know who l am. "That Nagara bastard could not keep the dog on the leash." I hear Shiba talking. Shoot. They know him. It was fast as the Anata guy moved as fast as lighting pinning me to the wall. "You thought we were stupid hah...." he spat as he got uncomfortably close to me. Opening his eyes so wide that a fly would fit in.

“So I misunderstood that this guy is your friend. And I misunderstood that you guys are engaged and want to get married. And I'm sure I got it wrong, too, that you were just lying to me the whole time.” She held up her hands in a soothing manner. "I didn't lie to you..." "No, you didn't," he interrupted, his tone now caustic. 'You just kept a few things secret, that's something else entirely, of course. A little secret here, a little swindle there—none of that bad.” “Let me at least explain how it happened,” she pleaded desperately. "Well, I'm really looking forward to it. What are you going to tell me this time?" He smiled cynically: "You can skip that, you don't seriously expect that I'll

He would have never thought he'd find himself being intrigued by her choice of words and explanation and at that moment, he knew something had changed and his thoughts about her changed. He couldn't explain how he felt but he felt something different for her and it definitely felt weird. "You mean the stories we hear now are not false?" He asked. "Of course, not completely. Behind every lie, there is always an atom of truth. This means, the story we hear is not entirely false but both packs could have changed it in a way that would favour them." She tells him. "So what do we do? What's the next step in confirming all of this?" He asked.

Monica's expression froze as she asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Reynold, didn't you tell me I was your favorite?" She pressed, "Is Adrianna forcing you to say this? I knew she was a difficult, unreasonable woman!" Anger flashed in Reynold's eyes. "What nonsense are you spouting? You better watch your mouth! I won't let you badmouth my wife." He turned to open his car door, but Monica grabbed his arm, refusing to let go. She hissed, "So you're dumping me? Dream on!" She added, "I've slept with you countless times, and now you think you can just walk away? Do you actually think Adrianna will forgive you? Keep dreaming!"

“And what made you think I'm joking?” “Look Jeri, if this is a prank, then please stop it. Because I'm still finding it difficult to believe that you're the CEO of the Triple-D company. Perhaps you were paid by him to deceive me. I can pay you any amount for you to tell the truth.” Adrian’s words were stark and sincere. Jeri was silent as though she were out of words, yet her expression was calm. She thought he had believed that she's the CEO of the Triple-D company, not knowing that he's a doubting Thomas.

I smiled wryly. "We had, but we weren't sure if that was just a rumour or the truth." Drew told me. "I'm sorry to hear that it was the truth." "It's alright." I shrugged. "What happened?" Dan asked, probing further. I pursed my lips, wondering what to tell them. If I lied flat out, I would have to remember what I'd told them to keep the lie consistent. But if I only told them vague details that wasn't quite a lie but not the whole truth either then that would probably be easier.

“Good stuff. If we keep this up, we’ll owe Kane a full bottle.” “So let’s keep going.” He raised both eyebrows. “You sure? It’s kinda late.” “It’s not like either of us has to get up early. And besides, I’m not tired. Are you?” “Nope.” “Good. Since we’re both licking our wounds from a lie in one form or another, let’s play a game called Truth or Lie.” Chase looked at her suspiciously. “What kinda game is that?” “I tell you something about myself, and you try to figure out if it’s a lie or the truth. If it’s a lie and you call it as such, I drink. If you make a wrong call either way, you drink.”

"The least you can do is de-escalate the obvious cringe." "I don't want to." "We can start small. Two truths, one lie for example. You are familiar with that game, are you not?" "I was sort of sure you would bring up something risque like truth or dare but maybe I misjudged you. I love my cat, Zeus. I hate mayonnaise. I cried the day my stepfather died." She rattled the words so fast. It took me a minute to register that she has actually begun playing the game.
