Little Liar (The Web of Silence Duet, #2)

by Leigh Rivers

Rex is my only friend now. He’s silent. So am I. Mommy hates that I don’t talk to her anymore, but I like keeping things to myself. Everything I say always results in a slap across my face or her yelling at me.

Without thinking, because I want her to like me too, I lift my hands and sign, Please don’t be afraid of me.

Olivia. My new little sister. I couldn’t protect my mom or Rex, but I think I could protect her. I will protect her. Because she’s mine.

I have a feeling if she ordered me to get on my knees and kiss her fucking feet, I’d do it. Anything she asked, I’d do.

Those voices are calling me a little liar while a devil chuckles on my shoulder.

I’m starting to think I have an unhealthy fascination. She’s all I think about. Whenever something happens, I think of her. When I’m bored or busy or just lying in bed or hitting some weights, I try to imagine what she’s doing and if she’s thinking of me too.

Run, Olivia. I want to chase you. I want to catch you. I want to fuck you until you scream so loud, you lose your voice just like I have.

But telling him right now would be detrimental to his current state. I will. I really will tell him, but not right now.

But what you are to me is something more than any words can explain. If someone found a way to remove you from existence, I would burn the world before making sure my soul found yours in the afterlife.

What would she do if she knew I was nothing but a little liar?
