All Chapters of From Truth To Lies : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Chapter 92Nyx's Pov Alden’s smirk faltered for just a fraction of a second, but it was enough. I caught the shift in his expression, the brief hesitation before he masked it with that lazy, unreadable confidence.He leaned back further, stretching his arms across the couch’s backrest, his fingers drumming lightly against the fabric, “Now, that’s an interesting question, Nyx.” His voice was smooth, measured.I narrowed my eyes, “That’s not an answer.”Alden exhaled a slow breath, tilting his head slightly, as if considering his next words carefully, “Memories are tricky things. You might not remember everything for a reason.”That was definitely not an answer.I straightened, my frustration growing, “Alden.”His lips curled, but there was something almost wary in his gaze, something guarded, “Let’s just say… our paths have crossed before. But whether that was by chance or design…” He shrugged, “Well, that depends on who you ask.”My heartbeat picked up, “So you do know something.”“I

Chapter 94 Author's Pov The whole place was quiet for a moment, tension cracking through the place like an electrocuting wire. Cassandra's lips twitched for a moment, a showing habit of her coming anger but she closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. It was no secret that a lot of people suspected Cassandra of killing her sister so that she could take her place as the matriarch of the clan. Even if a lot of others don't think Cassandra had killed her sister, they still believe that something foul had been done in one way or the other. Cassandra had become the matriarch of the clan twenty two years ago, after her sister had disappeared under mysterious circumstances and now, a woman who had been born one year after the disappearance, as well as having the features of the person who had disappeared arrived. There was no way that they would not be suspicious. Cassandra’s fingers curled slightly against the armrest of her chair, the only outward sign of her irritation. She had actual

Chapter 96 Nyx's Pov “Oh, is that so?” “Mhm. It's time to start preparing your entrance into the clan, the sooner we do this, the better. My father has already gotten permission and we will prepare a banquet to celebrate your arrival. So he just wants to speak to you regarding how it's going to go.” A banquet. Of course, there would be a banquet.“A banquet.” I repeated, tapping my fingers against the table, “That’s unnecessary.”Yasmin sighed, “Tell that to my father. He believes a grand entrance will solidify your place in the clan before Cassandra can spin any lies.”I hummed in thought. That was a fair point. Cassandra was already trying to position herself above me, and if I walked in quietly, she’d use that to her advantage. I could almost hear her now, whispering into the ears of those who mattered, planting seeds of doubt. But if I entered in full display, with the clan’s approval behind me, she’d have to work twice as hard to undermine me.It was a strategy as well. And

Chapter 98Author's Pov The car ride was silent and tense, it was the kind of silence that wasn’t comfortable but wasn’t quite suffocating either. It was just very heavy. Today was the day that Nyx and Liam were going to be introduced to the clan and to be truthful, the both of them were not looking forward to it. Especially Liam. Nyx sat by the window, her gaze locked on the passing scenery, though her mind was elsewhere. Across from her, Liam shifted for what had to be the tenth time in the last five minutes, his discomfort very obvious. His fingers tapped restlessly against his knee, his jaw clenched so tight she swore she could hear his teeth grinding.“You need to relax. Your actions are annoying me pretty badly. I could smash your head against the cat window if you sighed again. I'm serious this time.” Nyx said, not looking at him.Liam let out a humorless laugh, his hands balling into fists, “Relax?” He turned to face her, his dark eyes flashing with something between frustra

Chapter 100 Alden's Pov The wine swirled in my glass, deep red like spilled ink against the dim light of the chandelier. I stood by the window, watching the darkened estate grounds, my mind elsewhere, on unfinished business, on ghosts of the past that refused to stay buried. I wasn’t in the mood to drink tonight, but the silence had a way of creeping in, and the wine was a welcome distraction. I took a slow sip, savoring the bitter taste, letting it linger before swallowing.Then, the front door burst open.A rush of voices, laughter, and unsteady footsteps filled the hall. My brow furrowed as I turned my head slightly, just in time to hear Liam’s voice, louder than usual, slurred at the edges.“—told you, you shouldn’t have had that last shot.”Another voice followed, softer yet still teasing, “I don’t regret it.” Nyx’s voice rang out, light and… tipsy?I frowned. Nyx? Drunk?That was new. I had never seen her get drunk before. I turned just as Nyx stumbled into the room, and the
