Your Lie In April Kousei Novels & Stories

April watched the vehicle pull up to the front of the packhouse and she recognized Gerald exiting the vehicle. Her belly did a somersault, and she wasn’t sure if the queasiness she felt was for the man she just saw, her nerves, or her pregnancy. April was hiding on the upper floor of the packhouse, and Asia just left to greet Gerald. She wanted to have a talk with him before April saw him. April knew she could get behind that. Now, if only Asia could keep him talking forever, then April would be ecstatic.

I ask, curious to hear his answer. Chris sits in shock. He sits completely still. I patiently wait for an answer. People piss me off. "Temperance? Uh- who- who's Temperance?" He asked nervously, rubbing the back of his neck as he stutters. I let out a laugh making everyone at my table stiffen up. It's easy for people to lie when they sense trouble. But this was a very, very unbelievable lie. Especially since he talks about her when I ask. He is her cousin, for fucks sake. And apparently, she's living with them right now.

"Relax, I know I haven’t shaved for a while but trust me when I say that my little man over here is great." "Get the fuck out of my house!" I demanded "What! Is this some kind of sex method of yours?" He smirked "Get out now!" I pointed at the door "Okay, I get it. I know what you want. You ladies have these weird sex entertainment methods I just don’t." He stood up and walked toward the door "Wait, wait, wait, before you go, put on your clothes first." "Okay, I understand that you don’t want to share this with everyone. You know, I like the way you think" He winked at me

Suddenly, from the speaker, SIRI's mechanical voice began to read out messages: "A Mercedes AMG from Downtown asks, 'When can I see you, darling? I really want to see you, baby.'" "Next message: A BMW 5 Series from Suburbia asks, 'Have you decided which bracelet you want? Is this the one?'" "Next message: A Porsche Panamera from Midtown says, 'This brand looks amazing on you.'" Jasmine, Lily, and I exchanged a quick glance, an unspoken understanding passing between us. In our small group chat, Jasmine typed: [She's pretending to be a wealthy, beautiful woman fishing for attention online.] I quickly opened my phone's voice recorder, capturing the entire exchange.

Chapter [Forty Seven : The Message Simeon's POV The house was quiet—too quiet. I was lounging on the large leather couch in my office, a whiskey glass between my fingers. The ice sang softly against the glass as I stirred the amber liquid, staring at nothing in particular. It had been days since Lily departed, yet she still seemed to linger like a shadow I couldn't shake off.

After we entered the house, he skillfully leaned down to kiss me, his hands wandering over my body. The scent of Monica's perfume on him made me feel sick to my stomach, and I pushed him away. I said, "Let's not. I just finished the housework, and I'm all sweaty. I haven't showered yet." A flash of disgust crossed his eyes, though he quickly masked it and replied with feigned patience, "It must've been tiring for you, honey. You should let the housekeeper handle the chores from now on."

it reached through my ribs and pulled. I had seen him around campus before third year political science, one of those guys every girl whispered about but none could really figure out. The ones with wounds in their eyes and fire in their smiles. The kind that stayed with you in your sleep. But that day was different. That day, he looked at me. And I looked back. He approached me like the world had slowed down for this moment, like we were being choreographed by something bigger. I still remember his voice! low, smooth, playful.

April wiped her tears quickly when she heard the door to the slave quarters creak open. Jessica stepped inside, her usual warm smile faltering when she noticed April's red-rimmed eyes and tear-streaked face. Concern washed over Jessica as she hurried over to April’s side, kneeling beside her. "April, what’s wrong?" Jessica asked softly, reaching out to brush a tear from April’s cheek. "Why are you crying?" April bit her lip, trying to control the trembling in her voice. She couldn’t tell Jessica the truth, couldn’t let her friend know the secret she was now forced to carry. So she forced herself to lie, her voice barely above a whisper.

April suddenly turned the tv off and took my hand and pulled me from the couch. “We have an hour until Leia wakes up and I want you Cy.” I didn’t question her reasons, fuck, I never do. If that woman says she wants me, then she fucking gets me. I practically ran towards the bedroom and took my clothes off. “No fucking time April.” I said as I helped April out of her clothes. April turned around to get into our bed and I slapped her ass a few times. “Fuck I’ve missed seeing that ass of yours.” April pulled me closer to her. “Shut up and kiss me.”

"We're parents. That's all. Everything else was survival. Lust disguised as love." "That's a lie." "Is it? You seduced me to hurt Michael. I used you to escape. Where's the real feeling in that?" He crossed the room. Grabbed her shoulders. Made her look at him. "I loved you from the first night. Everything after was me lying to myself about it." "You loved the danger. The forbidden. Your cousin's wife. The affair felt wrong so it felt exciting. That's not love." "Then why are you still here? Why didn't you leave the moment Michael died?"
