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

Jacob LeeI was counting days. It's been two days since I declared my decision of stepping down as the CEO of VFHL Corporation. The whole company was blown in shock because of my sudden decision.

A Liar's Confession Chapter 40
SamanthaI was biting my lips while waiting for Jacob. I called him because I was worried, but I wasn't able to stop my heart again. I want him. I love him. And now that I realized a possibility of losing him completely, I just lost it.I swallowed hard. It's only been five minutes since our call ended, but it feels like a thousand years of waiting.My breathing hitched when a car stopped in front of my apartment. The door was pushed open, followed by Jacob, who immediately got off his car and rushed to me.It became slow. Everything seemed to slow down. Jacob was staring directly at my eyes as he walked towards me.“Jacob…” I whispered.He stopped in front of me. In no less than a second, I was inside his warm embrace. He's hugging me tight, so tight, and right as if his life depended on me.“Thank you… Samantha, thank you for h-having me again!” He whispered with a shaking voice.Slowly, I lifted my arms and hugged him back. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I buried my face in his ches
A Liar's Confession Chapter 41
SamanthaMy fists are balled as I sat on the chair beside my brother. Jacob took the chair on my right, holding my balled fists. I'm sitting across Jacob's wicked sister. She was glaring at me. I don't even know why she's here. I'm certain she's not part of the company, not even a stockholder—or it's just what I thought?Heaving a sigh, I glanced at Jacob, who gently squeezed my fists. He stared into my eyes as if calming me down, and telling me everything will be handled just fine.Admit it or not, I am indeed nervous. Today, at this very moment, there's a big chance that my life will turn upside down for the second time. It feels like I will lose everything in an instant, and it's scaring the hell out of me.
