What Deceit の小説・ストーリー

It’s so easy to believe something you want to believe because you are not brave enough to face the painful truth you can’t accept. “No. You are lying. You are just making up a story because you are covering something from me. Tell me that you are just lying, Carter. Tell me, please,” I pleaded because I really don’t know what to do anymore. All his words were clouding my mind that I couldn’t think straight.

- I threatened him, while he looked at me in surprise. - Listen to me carefully... there is nothing wrong with you, at least for me, I don't know about you, but believe me, even if I wanted to know about your life, I won't force anything on you, just as you haven't asked me about mine, and I can assure you, we have similar lives. - He needed to know, I wouldn't let him think otherwise, what makes you think he is different or inferior to anyone? Appearance? Appearances are not everything, they are mostly deceptive, I can prove that myself.

“He wasn't, he wasn't best for you. He's at fault, not you. He's the one who cheated on you, not you, princess. Look, men are scum, men are wicked, men are evil, blah blah blah! It's true." “Really… you do realize that what you just said right.” “Yes of course princess, I know what I just said. My point, exactly, is all about perspective. You love me, right?” “Yes I do" “That's because of how much good, care, and kindness I show and give to you. But to some other person I don't show these love and goodness, then I'm a scum, I'm a … I'm…” He snapped his fingers as he recalled, “Wicked.”

So much that she wanted to throw a fit and just cry so hard to let go of everything she's been carrying all this time. "For the record, I wouldn't act this way if you didn't lie to me. We can do this together, you know." Patricia can't help but sob when she cannot pretend anymore, "I-I could have accepted your help or whatever. We had a deal. You made a promise. You broke it." Her voice trembled, "Meaning, you don't have a choice but to face the consequences of your own damn actions because I'm so tired of being surrounded by a bunch of liars. I don't need another one."

"Just showcasing how you've let a disastrous project slip through, costing us twenty million dollars. And now, you're proposing another one that'll burn an extra thirty million. All a waste of human and natural resources. Do you think I haven't been paying attention? I have. I took a moment to fathom how you're still here instead of answering customer service calls." He went pale and red, squirming in his seat. Satisfaction washed over me. No matter what battles I faced, being present at a business conference was mandatory; otherwise, I risked signing a detrimental contract. That's how I'd remained a wealthy and powerful billionaire over the years. Everyone at this table with their fake smil

"What right do you have to talk about me like that? How are you any better than me? If it weren't for your deceit, would I have ended up with you? Take a good look at yourself and your own behavior." Five years ago, the James family had fallen into an economic crisis, and the conglomerate was on the brink of collapse. But Rex never mentioned it to her, instead deceiving her, saying that if they were together, they could support the Miller family. She believed his lies, which led to her losing her virginity to him. And what was the result? He deliberately deceived her. Wanting to use her, to use the Miller family to help the James family through the difficult times.

Roxy's POV Deception—garnishing a lie to make it look like the truth to achieve a desired outcome. It’s not a proud thing to do but sometimes it’s a necessary thing. Like right now, standing in front of Professor McLain’s office. I stood at the door, with my deceptive hat on, my hand primed to knock. I took a deep breath, trying to steady the fluttering nerves in my stomach. Deception is also not an easy thing to do but I was never an easy girl.

I had been watching him for days, and now it was time to put an end to this game. I sat in my office, drumming my fingers on the table as I looked at the papers in front of me. At first glance, they were simply business contracts—routes of trade, security provisions, fiscal accounts—but underneath them lay something far more valuable: a finely woven deceit. A deceit that would lead Carlos to his next move. I sat back, exhaling slowly. It wasn't enough to take him by surprise. I needed him to bring me to Bianca. I needed him to believe that he was still in control, that I was still oblivious to his betrayal.

If it were not for their disheveled hair, flushed faces, and the faint marks on their necks, no one would have guessed that Emmett, the stoic engineer, and Calista, the refined radio announcer, had just been intimate. Emmett nodded when he saw me and stepped aside to let me pass. Calista smiled and greeted me while muttering under her breath, "Deaf woman!" I carefully maintained my usual expression, pretending not to hear anything as I quickly entered the room. The moment I stepped inside, the lingering smell of intimacy made me violently ill. I retched, my stomach contents spewing forth uncontrollably. Emmett cursed at the bad timing and asked Calista to leave while he came in to check on m

“No. You made choices because you don’t trust me. Because somewhere, deep down, you still think I’m fragile enough to break if you told me the truth.” He ran a hand through his wet hair. “That’s not fair.” “No, what’s not fair is me having to find out about the deals you’re making in my name from Alexei.” His jaw tightened. “ I screwed up, but I had my reasons. Alexie, he's just trying to manipulate you” “Don’t dare change the topic,” I said, voice shaking. “Do you think I’m dumb? That I can’t see what’s happening? Irina and Alexei are playing some twisted game, and you’re fighting back like I’m a prize to be won.”
