All Chapters of Love, Lies And Hidden Truths : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Are you really this stupid?” Margaret's voice thundered through the room. “ How could you keep this from me, Aysel? The man who was chosen for you wants to marry Jeri instead. And you thought I did not deserve to know?” Margaret's face turned beet red as she stood in the living room, her eyes blazing with rage. Aysel cowered in front of her, her eyes wide in fear. “I… I didn't want to hurt you, Mother. I knew you wanted me to marry him…” Aysel trembled, and her voice was barely audible. “You believe you are protecting me by keeping secrets? You are just as dishonest as your father!” Aysel flinched as her mother's words made her eyes well up with tears. “You are just like Jeri,” Margaret's rage grew even more intense." You always get what you want, but I end up with nothing! Aysel, you are going to regret not telling me the truth. Mark my words!" There was an obvious sense of tension in the room, a tension born of unspoken words and unresolved emotions. Aysel burst into tears a

As agreed between the three women, Clara invited Darien's Mom over, ready to carry out her plan. "I apologize, Lucinda. I had to leave the house quickly to take care of something that came up. Perhaps I should reserve a hotel room so we can meet there. “As I previously stated, we are having an important conversation, and I would prefer that no one hear about it. So, I believe that discussing it in a hotel room would be safer. What is your opinion?” Clara's voice echoed from the phone. “Well,” Mrs. Lucinda sighed."I am fine with meeting you wherever you choose. I do not mind as long as it benefits me. Simply send me the address, and I will be there as soon as possible." “Alright,” Clara nodded and hung up the call. Unbeknownst to Mrs. Lucinda, her best friend, was planning to set her up. A set-up that will turn her life around for bad. She did not think much of Clara's decision to meet in a hotel. She was convinced that her friend would never do anything to hurt her. Unfortunat

"You have been here for more than a week, and I still have not seen what you have done to help the company grow," hissed Larissa, the lady with whom Jeri switches shifts." From the moment you were introduced to us, I knew you had nothing to contribute to the growth of this company. "To make matters worse, they hired you as a market researcher, which is the same position I hold. I cannot recall telling the CEO that I want to work part-time. I should be the only one in charge of this position, not the two of us…” “Come on, Larissa,” Jeri finally cut into her words."When I was hired at this company, you welcomed me like a sister. Why have you suddenly changed? Have I done anything wrong to warrant those hurtful words?" "Yes, Jeri," Larissa replied, clenching her jaw and lowering her gaze. "I welcomed you like a sister because I assumed you were a hard worker, not realizing you were just a lazy piece of trash." "I have done my best in this job, Larissa. So I am not going to let you in

"Why would I lie to you, Mr. Ethan? I was the one who invited her to the hotel to discuss some important issues. And because she was unfamiliar with the hotel, I begged the hotel CEO, with whom they had accidentally crossed paths, to bring her to her room. That is all that occurred—not what you are imagining.” Seated next to her friend on the same couch, Clara gave an explanation. "Are you considering me a fool? Do you really think I would fall for such a sleazy lie? Oh, so you are supporting her because you two are friends? I get it now.” Mr. Ethan roared, clenching his fist furiously as he sat opposite them. Unfortunately, before Clara arrived at Mr. Ethan's mansion, despite her friend's plea to come save her marriage, the stranger who sent Mr. Ethan a video of his wife cheating had texted him. He warned Mr. Ethan not to believe what his wife's friend would say when she arrived. However, when Mr. Ethan attempted to find out who the person was and why he was spying on his wife, the

The quiet in Adrian's office was broken by the buzzing of his phone. With a stiff expression, he cast a quick glance at the screen. He hoped no one would disturb him while he was having a quiet moment.However, because his phone can recognize a new caller's information, Adrian was surprised when Darien's Ethan appeared on the screen as the caller. Adrian became terrified as soon as he realized who was calling. He assumed Darien was calling him because of the ongoing dispute between his parents, as he had helped Clara cause the chaos.He was well aware that if that was the reason Darien was calling him, he was obviously in danger. Although he was older than Darien, Darien's parents were far wealthier than him, which made him fearful. Adrian swallowed hard and quickly composed himself, ready to discuss whatever Darien wanted to talk about with him."Hey, Darien," Adrian said calmly after picking up the phone.“ What can I do for you?"
