Their Little White Lie What Do You Think?
SABRINA MORALES You shouldn’t have. That’s something I’ve said to Blaze about three times tonight, but did I really mean it? He was sitting across from me, smiling and sipping his wine while I watched his lips, full of moisture. I could never have enough of him, could I? “Humiliating is a crazy thing to say,” Blaze said as he wiped a smudge from his sushi. His fingers rubbed the corner of his lips as they moved, eyes on me. “It was humiliating,” I said again, because it was. I was reliving the moment, even though I didn’t want to. I’ve always been good at keeping my business out of my work life, but today, I spilled it all. Everyone knew I got cheated on. Everyone saw me snap like that. They must know too that I broke down in my office later. “Alex should be the one feeling humiliated,” Blaze said. He set his cutlery down and leaned back in his seat like he was waiting to see my reaction to what he’d just said. Alex. I still hated hearing his name. “Well, he wasn’t there,”

BLAZE WILLIAMS Walking over to Dad’s office meant walking from one side of the building to the other. It was long but it was a walk I took that morning five minutes to noon when Dad finally showed up at the office. Our offices used to be close, too close, but I moved my space because I needed to be on my own. I didn’t regret that act one bit. “The budget needs to be expanded. It’s not colossal enough, don’t you see?” Dad said and asked. He had the folder in his hands, a blue hardcover back with a few pages of paper stacked inside it. It was the land pricing listed there along with the budget intended for it. The family’s business was a group of companies that generated so much revenue each year. Some sectors greatly depended on others while some did better than the rest. Our best contender was the construction company, and a big part of its profit came from us reselling lands as properties after we’d built on them. The documents in Dad’s hands had the information a
Huling Na-update : 2025-04-23Their Little White Lie Table For Three
JOSEPH WILLIAMS Jason slipped into the office late that evening, fresh from his hospital rounds. He embodied the silent force of our organization as he was a ghostly presence. Always missed. Jason Williams wasn’t just a cornerstone of our business, he was my elder brother by a year. We started the business together, but Jason never really maintained a consistent presence. On most days, I found myself missing him. It wasn’t just about the business, it was about our bond. The elevator ride to the office was smooth. It was a calm contrast to the chaos of the afternoon’s incident. Hadn’t shared the details with Caroline, even though we’d had a video call earlier. Honestly, I was still processing it all. It had been a scene, but thankfully, it hadn’t escalated. I began to think about the conversation Jason and I would have in my office or, more accurately, our mini lounge in the building. The thought excited me with each passing second. We had a joint office lounge. Because Jas

SABRINA MORALESI knew who was calling as soon as my screen lit up that evening.Alex was blocked from reaching out to me, but he’d found ways to get to me. From going through Violet to showing up at the dinner, I knew he was capable of calling me on a new number.I answered, snatching the phone from my trolley.“I saw you,” Alex said in a low voice.I swallowed and pushed my hair aside. I felt naked, even in the middle of the mall. This was exactly how it would feel if Mum and Jo ever found out about Blaze and me.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I told Alex, feigning confusion.I looked around. The music on the speakers was low but lively.“What sort of sick shit is going on, Sabrina? Why are you— I’m sorry, baby. Maggie threw herself on me, and I should’ve known better. I’m sorry…” Alex said.“I’m blocking this number too. Please don’t call me again,” I told him.He rushed out his next words, grabbing at the time he had.“You’ve moved on fine because of him!” Alex’s voice
Huling Na-update : 2025-04-25Their Little White Lie A Stranger’s Arms
SABRINA I had been dreaming of this trip for years, and the moment Alex and I could finally afford it, he brought his mistress along. Nightpark was my sanctuary, a place of memories and magic. Just two miles from the city, it offered nature in its purest form—water parks, gardens, streams, resorts, guesthouses, and a breathtaking beach. My favorite memory of my dad was here: I was six, proudly showing him the shiny blue crystal the ocean had gifted me. This trip was supposed to be just as magical. Instead, I stood frozen outside our room, listening to the unmistakable sounds of Alex and another woman. Their moans and grunts stabbed me like knives. I clamped my mouth shut, shaking my head in disbelief. I told myself it couldn’t be him. Maybe two lost strangers had stumbled into our room. Desperation kept me from walking away. But when I pushed the door open, the truth hit harder than I expected. Her back was pressed against the wall, her
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-29Their Little White Lie One Night Of Mind Blowing Passion
BLAZE She gasped, stumbling right into my arms. Her skin was soft and warm, even amidst the chaos. I bit back a smile as I glanced down at her flushed face. Embarrassment poured off her in waves. Was she more mortified by the altercation with him or the fact that she’d fallen into my arms? Not that I minded. I’d catch her a hundred times over if it meant this closeness. “Are you okay?” I asked, steadying her. She brushed the strands of her blonde hair aside, her breath uneven. “Yes. Thank you.” “Yeah, thanks, man,” he interjected. I shot him a sharp glare, suddenly remembering his unfortunate presence. He should’ve left by now, but of course, he stayed—uncultured, rude, and utterly devoid of decency. “If I hadn’t stepped in, you would’ve let her fall, wouldn’t you?” He blinked, confused. “Excuse me?” I stepped closer. He didn’t measure up to me—not in stature, character, or anything else that mattered. “I saw everything
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-29Their Little White Lie Morning Came With A Surprise
SABRINA When my phone rang the next morning, I wanted to throw it against the wall and go back to sleep. I was tired of phones interrupting perfect moments—like last night. My eyes snapped open at the thought of it. Beside me, he shifted, groaning as he yanked the pillow from beneath his head and smashed it over his ears to block out the noise. “Is that mine?” he mumbled, his voice groggy. “No, it’s mine,” I replied. “Please turn it off,” he pleaded. I jolted upright, realizing I should’ve done that already. “Oh, crap. Sorry.” My fingers scrambled over the screen, frantic to find the silence button. It took me a moment longer than it should have, but when the phone finally went quiet, I sighed in relief. I turned my attention back to the beautiful man in his bed—the same bed I was lying in. My heart nearly leaped out of my chest when I saw him watching me, his eyes wide open, no trace of sleepiness despite the groan moments ago. He laughed softly,
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-29Their Little White Lie A Family Dinner To Remember
BLAZE WILLIAMS I spent my entire day ignoring my dad’s call. Now that I was only a few steps from our table, a certain lady joined them. Sally. In that moment, I regretted most of my life choices especially the ones from last night. I stopped halfway. I thought of turning around and leaving. I was this close to doing it. Sally, got a hug from my dad and I slipped behind a couple to hide myself from his sight. “How is that possible? You should have options for vegetarians?” The man blocking my path was saying to the waitress. She looked stressed but the man’s wife, a woman with light purple bangs looked even more stressed. She was leaning on her husband and he rubbed the back of her hands each passing second. He also found the time to pat her back occasionally. She was quiet while her husband did all the talking for her. “There are options for vegetarians and we’ve showed them to you—” The waitress's voice was shaky. It was easy for the

Their Little White Lie Addicted?
CAROLINE MORALES “Honey, would you help me grab my shirt from the bed?” Jo asked from across the room. He was rummaging through the drawers, shoving things aside in frustration. Each cupboard he opened turned up empty, and his irritation grew with every second. “What are you looking for?” I asked as I reached the bed. I'd showered some minutes ago and just changed into my nightwear. We had a movie to watch tonight. The TV was set up and the drinks were downstairs. Jo’s back was to me, but the tension in his shoulder was clear. “A client’s card,” Jo muttered. He spared me a glance and it didn’t feel like it was a mere client’s card he was looking for. It wasn’t the time to push him, so I focused on helping. His clothes were scattered across the bed, something I hated. I was a neat freak, and Jo wasn’t. I had always known it from the nights we spent together, but it hadn’t been this obvious until the boat cruise. And now I was living with him. I picked up his jacket a
Their Little White Lie Spontaneous
SABRINA MORALESNext, you have dinner with Alex, and you can call it a day,” Violet said as she walked around the stool. I was looking at the computer when she spoke. My hands froze over the keyboard. I was too stunned even to say anything.I had a date with Alex?! “Take this too,” Violet was saying as she gestured to stool. We’d just finished the artist shoot with Suzie’s artist, Bella. I thought I was done for the day but Violet told me that I wasn't. “A date with Alex,” I echoed slowly, as if saying it out loud would help me process it I had to remember to be normal about it. I've not been able to bring myself to tell Violet or anybody. I wasn't ready. Maybe it was time for me to tell her before she fixed my wedding without my knowledge. Violet turned away from the ruckus. We were packing up and cleaning the studio after the day’s work. There were lots of glitter on the floor, some CDs, posters… There was a little bit of everything. “Yeah. I sent you an email and a remi
Their Little White Lie Marcy. Not Home
BLAZE WILLIAMSMum had been on my neck about when I was returning home. I eventually told her.Imagine my surprise when I saw Marcy waiting for me. It wasn't hard to spot her in their crowd of people. The one person in the crowd who had a strand of her hair dyed white was Marcy.The person who locked eyes with me smiled with her teeth, and waved at me was Marcy.The person I least expected was Marcy and she was right here, pretending this was normal.Marcy could star in her imagination, but I wouldn't fuel it for her.I walked up to her out of courtesy.We used to be something more than friends. I owed it to her to be cordial.“I don’t think you’re here for me,” I started, holding my hands together at my front. “So who are you here for?” I looked around for a moment. I was looking for someone who would be recognizable too. Maybe one of Marcy’s friends. It could even be her boyfriend.Though I had not heard about her being with anyone yet.“You,” Marcy said. “Come here,” She pulled
Their Little White Lie Coming Home
BLAZE WILLIAMS I stayed back at Night Park because I wanted to stop thinking about Sabrina. She was invading my entire life. Sabrina was going to be my sister. We were also spending nights together and getting to know each other. I had to put a pause on that cause it was getting scary. Two days later I was booking a flight back to Miami. “Tickets, please?” The airport lady asked me. She was smiling cordially, her hair as neat as her outfit. I shook my head. I was attempting to clear the thoughts in them. I gave her the ticket. The lady looked at my credentials. She paused looking at her computer screen to give me a brief stare. In a bright but quiet voice, she said. “Your flight leaves in thirty minutes. You can wait in the lobby.” I got handed back my ticket. I had my duffel bag hanging from my shoulders. It was almost eight in the morning. I spent the previous night working and staying up with a bottle of champagne. My hotel room had never felt
Their Little White Lie Love, Lies, And A Bouquet
SABRINA MORALES “Our bride-to-be is back!” One of my staff chorused and the rest of them started clapping and cheering. I stood at the door of my studio, heart pounding both in fear and painful nostalgia. I couldn't bring myself to take a step in. I had regretted a lot of things in life, but pnothing hurt me like lying to Violet. I was so close to banging my head on a call in a show of painful regret. Violet walked up to me. Her lips were stretched fully, eyes shining with pure joy. “Welcome back, Sabrina,” Violet said and hugged me. I had two options. To tell them the truth and destroy their view of Alex. That would bring this entire celebration to the most abrupt end. Or, I could play cool. I could take the congratulations and keep it moving. I had kept the truth from them all through the Christmas holiday. What could a little more time of avoiding the truth do? It wasn't like I was lying. I was only not telling the truth. Yet. “Thank you, Violet,”
