What Lies Between Novels & Stories

I said, trying to sound as calm as possible, but my voice still came out harsh. She froze, looking up at me from the doorway. "Yes?" "Where were you thiz morning t?" She blinked, then stepped in. "I was home. I went to bed early. You know that." "Really?" I raised the remote in my hand and clicked play. She stared at the screen. Her face was drained of color. I watched the exact moment the lie died in her throat. She didn’t say anything for a long time. "Why did you lie to me?" I asked quietly.

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.

he says, and even Lucifer looks skeptical. "How?" Lucifer asks, crossing his arms. "I don't know what it was, or what I saw, but the thing pointed me in the direction of where the book is hidden at. It's in a place where there's no name, or even people." Loss explained. I looked at him with a confused expression as I racked my brain to think of such a place. "There's a place like that?" I ask him, and Loss nods. "Yes, we just don't know it." he replies, and he takes my hand as his wings pop out.

she answered but I didn't need anyone to tell me that she was lying because it was more than obvious that something was going on between her and Alejandro and neither one of them seemed to want to talk about it. "You do realise that you shouldn't lie to me, right? If something is going on with you, you know you can always talk to me about it and I'm always here to listen to you and help you out. So, tell me the truth Alice and explain what's going on to me," I said to her, trying to be patient and calm with her so she finds it easier to talk to me.

Full of drives. Full of lies.

"I won't hide it from you—my lowest bid this time is nineteen million." The moment I finished speaking, Chelsea fell silent. I knew she had taken the bait. A faint smile curved my lips. Both of us, almost in unison, picked up our phones and sent out messages. Soon, the bidding results were announced. I secured the project—for fifteen million. Chelsea staggered, her body swaying. When she spoke, her voice was as rough as gravel scraping against stone. "Melissa… you lied to me again!" Her eyes were bloodshot, filled with rage.

"Are you scared? They won't allow me to speak on your behalf but I can sit in the interrogation with you." "Not really. It's more of a bad feeling in my gut." Tilting her head to one side, she quirked an eyebrow and released an exasperated huff. "I'm sorry that I can't explain it right now, but my intuition is telling me to seek out Luna Calista."

She said. “What on earth are you talking about? I only Jason’s brother last night and I have only Jason for two years now so how on earth could they hate each other because of me?” I asked, if I had been confused before then I had no idea what I was feeling right now. A small laugh escaped the pretty woman sitting beside my bed “I may not know the full story but I assure you that your story with Jason and Alec started a very very long time ago and I am sorry to tell you this but one brother is already a force to be reckoned with, I can only imagine what a nightmare it will be to caught in between those two” she said.
