"A lie that dismantled two lives"
Meet Jade, a 21 year old charming girl who lost her parents at the age of 13. Struggling to keep up with her life, her old mate Sebastian supports her and provides her comfort that she longs for. However, one night...
Author's POV: After Jade and Sebastian had donated all the clothes, they were returning back home. The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky. The sky was ablaze with the fire of the setting sun. The street was filled with women and men returning home after a long tiring day of working.

Sebastian: "Look Jade, the sunset is so beautiful. The sky. The sun set in the sky as fresh colours brushed upon an artist's canvas, as if those rays were destined to create a great work of art - one given to those open to capturing simple moments in the soul. One must appreciate beauty of nature."
Jade: "You are being so poetic at this hour haha, it seems as if you are drunk in the beauty of sunset. By the way, I love my city. It is indeed a very busy place but when the sun sets, it is a wonderful sight to see. I was born here 18 years ago and lived here for that long but still nothing changed much. I am used to the hustle and bustle of the city. Sometimes it's quite irritating but there is this one point of the day when the city gets quiet. The night slowly, slowly coming. Whenever the night is quiet, the community is soaked in black ink as it is, black and dark, and no fingers are visible, no voice heard, a complete silence. The silence serves as a melody to my ears."
Sebastian: "Look, who is being artistic with words now. You know what, you should better start writing some novels, I swear your book will be best selling one. Anyways, all these jokes aside, we both are very tired today so let's have our dinner in some nearby restaurant. Afterall, you will go home so you have to cook plus even my house maid is on rest today so better let's have it here."
Jade: "Well, that's right. I have bought cash with me as well, I will pay. Let's go then."
*After 2 hours*
Sebastian: "Did you eat well? The meal was delicious."
Jade: "Yes I did"
Sebastian: "Let's go home then."
Jade: "Yes"
Jade's POV: I and Sebastian were returning home after having our dinner. We parted our ways in the middle of the street. His house was on the opposite lane of mine. I was alone walking in my lane. It was strangely quiet. I still had two miles to walk to reach to my house. As I was walking, I suddenly felt a hand on my mouth trying to cover it. Well thanks to my three year karate classes lessons. I was ready to use those defense techniques that I learnt back when I was 11. Before I could lift my right leg and hit the knees of the stranger who covered my mouth, he whispered something in my ears. I was still ready to beat the shit out of him but I listened to what he said.
Stranger: "Before you do something, listen to me carefully. I covered your mouth so that you cannot scream. I have to tell you something very important before I release you."
Jade: "What is it? Speak fast before I murder you here."
Stranger: "Not here, I'll tell you at your house."
