Chapter 31
Samantha
I HUGGED myself as my lips trembled. It was so cold. I'm soaking wet and the wild wind isn't helping. I am standing in front of someone's house. It's been a long time since I've been here, and I'm hoping she's still here.The light lit and the door opened. A woman in nighties welcomed me as her eyes widened in shock. “SAM!”I awkwardly smiled at her. “Hi, R-Rachel.”“Oh, my God! Samantha! What happened to you?”Her question is like a button, it was like a trigger that my tears streamed down my face. Rachel immediately pulled me for a hug and gently dragged me inside her house. She lent me clothes and I quickly changed because I'm so cold. Rachel gave me a hot chocolate and a towel when I got back to the living area.She sat beside me and caressed my arms. “What happened, Sammy? Dylan said you were out of the town but yesterday, I saw the news. I was shocked. I tried to visit you in the hospital, but police didn't let meRelated chapters
A Liar's Confession Chapter 32
SamanthaJacob found me. Now, he has just proven to me that he's a powerful person. Someone I didn't suspect him to be. He's a liar. He's no different from Dylan, and I hate them both.I saw him took his shades off as he speaks with Rachel. They are outside while I'm watching them through the window.I swallowed hard, and slowly caressed my tummy. It has only been three days, but he already found her.“Please… I really need to talk to Samantha,” I heard Jacob begging Rachel. I glanced at the high-end car behind him. It was his. “I'm sorry, Mr. Lee. Samantha left this morning. She said she will find her brother.”Rachel is good at making alibis, but I doubt he will believe her. I saw Jacob's jaw clenched. He aggressively blew a breath. “Shane Miller is with me, miss Rachel.”My eyes widened. W-What?My heart skipped a beat after what Jacob said. Shane is with… him? My brother Shane?I chewed my lower li
A Liar's Confession Chapter 33
SamanthaI once attempted to kill the child in my womb. I hate the fact that this is a child of a devil. I hate the fact that I had to bear Dylan's offspring, and I f-cking hate my fate because of it.I'm not a killer. I attempted to kill my own child, I attempted to kill Dylan, but I can't. I don't know why, despite the hell-like life I've been through, I always find conscience and kindness within me. I feared myself, now, I'm more than scared because I almost lose the baby I didn't wish to have.“You're lucky, your husband was fast to bring you here,” the doctor smiled at me and Jacob.I looked away and pressed my lips together. Husband. I dreamed of addressing him as my husband, so many times. Having him with me breaks my heart, yet seeing him walking away is too much for me. I don't wanna push him away. I love him, I really do. If it's just me, I will accept him wholeheartedly. I will accept the fact that he can bear to lie just so he can be with me, but… A l
A Liar's Confession Chapter 34
SamanthaI felt like living in a scripted manner. I felt like a robot. I am living with the pain, and it's killing me every single day. It has only been two weeks. A week ago, Dylan was proven guilty of frustrated murder, illegal detention and many more that I couldn't even remember. He was sentenced to be in prison until his death. I should be happy now that I'm free, but I couldn't even grasp the freedom I've been dreaming of.It was a starry night, and I've been having a hard time sleeping. I went to the kitchen without opening the lights. I quickly drink water.I was ready to go back to the guest room where I'm staying when I heard noises from outside the house. Curious, I peek on the window behind the curtain. In front of the house, I found two people.I saw Rachel frustratedly messing her hair. In front of her was Rom, her long-time boyfriend. From what I'm seeing, he's drunk.“You tell me, Rachel. Why are you doing this to me?” Rom was almost pleading.I
A Liar's Confession Chapter 35
SamanthaMy brother and I are both struggling as we live together in an apartment. After we left Rachel's house, Rom visited us and apologize for what he said, although I didn't really admit that I overheard their conversation. Three months later, Shane's investment works. Now, we're starting to live a normal and simple life while I'm pregnant with my child.Staring at my own reflection in the mirror, I was caressing my four months baby bump. I'm starting to move on, but I cannot really say that I'm happy. There's a big hole in my heart, and it's certainly Jacob's place. I miss him, so much. After our last conversation in the hospital, he didn't show up to me anymore. I can only see him through magazines, billboards, internet, and TV. I can say that he's definitely out of my reach, but I can't stop my heart from beating for him.“Sammy!”I quickly wore my robe and went out of my room. I saw Shane sitting on his wheelchair. He smiled at me as he po
A Liar's Confession Chapter 36
SamanthaI was staring back at Jacob. He was just standing at the other side of the elevator, staring down at me, and I'm completely intimidated. I know it's not his intention, but I can't help it. Seeing him now, I can really say that I'm not ready to face him yet.He rolled his tongue over his lips, wetting it. “How are you?”I don't know. I don't know how I manage to answer him, but I saw him nodded. Did I answer yet?He pressed his lips together as he looked down. “I'm sorry. I know, you made it clear to me. I understand, I just… don't have any idea that this is where your brother invest.”I nodded. That is not his fault. If not because of my brother, I would really think that our encounter here is purely coincidental.“It's nothing. I'm good, by the way. Starting to live a normal life.” I managed to answer despite the threat of cracking my voice.He nodded and rested his back against the elevator. From the ground, h
A Liar's Confession Chapter 37
SamanthaI was pushing my cart of groceries when I bumped into someone's cart. I lifted my chin to apologize, but my words were left hanging as I recognized the woman pushing the other cart. I still remember everything she told me. Still remember how small I felt like back when she was mocking me in the hospital. Still as elegant in her dress, she tilted her head as if trying to remember me.I slightly bowed my head and pulled the cart. I pushed it to the side to avoid her cart, but she purposely blocked my way. Her eyebrows swiftly shot up as she grinned at me. “Oppps! My bad!”I heaved a sigh, calming myself. I asked help from Rachel to find the connection of this woman to Jacob, and it turns out she is his older sister. Jacel Lee.“I see you're still wandering around here after dumping my brother. Are you waiting for him to chase you? Sorry to burst your bubble, bitch, he won't,” she added. Smirk and mocking tone didn't leave his lips and voice. She's really
A Liar's Confession Chapter 38
Jacob LeeI went home right after the meeting. I didn't know Samantha would be there. How cruel this fate can be? I'm trying so hard to keep my distance from her, but fate doesn't seem to like my decision. I respect her. I love her. I care for her. If letting her go will ease and mend the pain in her heart—that pain I helped to carve—I will risk my heart and happiness, so she can find her own happiness and contentment.Loving her was the most consistent feeling I ever felt. I was so damn happy when I get the chance to be with her. I made her smile. I made her laugh, but after all of that, I made her cry. I broke her. I regret everything I did, so I'm trying to move on, trying to correct my mistakes, but I can't. She's been haunting me every fucking second. She was in my dreams, and when I open my eyes, she was in my mind. It's killing me, wide-eyed. That woman is my first love and my only love. I only dreamed of marrying her, spending my life with her and our futur
