Wife's Lies Novels & Stories

"What can I say? My own husband couldn't get the job done. What was I supposed to do—die frustrated?" The whole hallway froze. Jared's crew just gawked. Everyone knew Jared had never touched her. Lucia had been hopelessly loyal, and the jokes were just that—jabs to humiliate, not actual suspicion. No one thought she'd ever cross the line. But now? Jared's face went ice-cold. "What did you just say?" Lucia's smile only sharpened. "Did I lie? If you can't satisfy me, what's wrong with grabbing a little something on the side—ah!"

"I hate people like you, born with everything handed to them. Let's see if you can feel pain—if you'll scream like an animal!" Her round, doll-like face twisted into a mask of rage, eyes glinting darkly. The throbbing pain at the back of my head made my vision blur, and I was on the verge of blacking out. Yet, clinging to the last shreds of consciousness, I managed to stammer, "W-Who are you? Why do you say my husband wants me dead?" She scoffed as if she had heard something hilariously absurd. "Husband? You stole my Harry, and now you have the nerve to call him that? Don't think that being married makes you anything but the other woman! My name is Giselle Tanner, and I was with him first,"

After we signed, she couldn't resist one last jab. "Kyle, from now on, I'm your boss's wife. First day at the company, I'm firing you. And this?" She waved a villa's property deed in my face. "That's a luxury villa in a gated community—mine. Look at you. No money, no talent, nothing. Being with you these past few years was torture." I just smiled as she flaunted the deed. She thought it was real. It wasn't—just a fake Fay had mailed her.

I gave up. I returned to my senses as he drove faster and then turned right and immediately stopped the car. "What the hell! Do you want us to die?!" I yelled as I held my chest nervously. He turned to me and eyed me angrily. "We're supposed to get married two months ago, Reese! You told me you love me, but you left me like a joke, and I don't know why you did that! I was losing my mind trying to find you in every place in the world only to find you working as a sex worker in that cheap bar?! Why did you even do that?"

“You—you believe this?! What, are you both crazy now?” Inside Lilly’s mind, Lia had been completely silent. Until now. And when she spoke, she did so with glee. ‘Girl—’ Lia practically wheezed. ‘At this rate, cutie pie over there is definitely going to drag you to a mental hospital.’ Lilly clenched her teeth, her fingers twitching with irritation. Lia snorted. ‘I mean, can you blame him? You basically just told your husband that his entire life with you is a goddamn lie. You’re lucky he hasn’t dropped dead from the shock—’

He replied with a straight face. I slapped him. He looked back at me and started laughing in my face. “Can't handle the truth?” He asked, “I thought that's what you wanted.” “You can't speak to me like that; I'm still your wife.” I replied. “You mean the wife who didn't want to stay with me because of our son and forced her twin sister to play her and hold her life down while she went to jump from one man's bed to another?!” He asked, and my eyes went wide, but I refused to let him think he had caught me in my lies.

“I wasn't cheating on my wife. Pearl needed my help. I was just—” “You weren't cheating, but you lied to your wife. Bravo, boss, your lies are lying.” “No, that's not — where is Jewel? I need to tell her the truth. Pearl only asked for my help. I lied to her because I didn't want her to misunderstand! You've got to believe me, I've not cheated on Jewel since the first day I set my eyes on her.” I sounded like a desperate man, but I didn't care. If sounding desperate means I get to know where my wife is, then, so be it.

Yeah right, she was supposed to believe a man who was married and still slept with her. “Luca, you cheated on your wife with me, don’t be lying to my face,” She warned. “I don’t have a wife, I am not cheating on anyone,” “You literally came here to fight me for sending the photos of your family which includes your wife to someone, now you are lying that you don’t have a wife? I can’t believe you, Luca, why are you such a liar? Do you know how bad it was for me while you were away? I found that room, saw your smiling wife and kid, and felt like hell, I felt like the worst person on earth and have been beating myself up for letting what happened between us happen, and on top of that, I had to

He asks me, still pretending he has no idea. “Your wife happened,” I tell him coldly, holding my hands behind my back to stop myself from reacting again but I can feel my anger brewing. “I don't have a wife,” He argues, as if he can manipulate me into believing she doesn't exist. “Are you really going to stand there and lie to me?” I yell at him, getting fired up the more I look at the scumbags face. “ Mrs Jessica Elemore seems to believe she's married to you.”

She shook her head, still playing stupid, “If you have something to say to me, go straight to the point. You look angry already, you're stalling time, and it will only make this worse." And she was right, so I laid it out, “Why did you lie to me? Why did you lie against Lydia and make me end my marriage?” “I’ve never lied to you.” She said, still as calm as ever. “There you go again. I know the truth, Lydia didn't kill Jared. Zoe did, how long were you going to lie to me for?” Her eyes widened briefly, and she shifted uncomfortably in her seat before moving her gaze to me. “What do you mean? I… Lydia,” she sucked in a breath, avoiding my gaze, “ly…dia killed my husband.” She stuttered.
