White Lies (Book 1)
Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.Complete

It also broke my heart when I decided to follow you home, and saw the hardship life you were living." "In a nutshell," I wanted her to hit the nail on the head. Not because I wanted to sound rude, but because my legs were aching me from standing for too long. "I need your help," She paused her lips. "Which involves being me." ~°~°~°~°~ Uyai is far from being rich. And when we talk about far, we meant FAR. Uyai wasn't a people person. She didn't have much friends, except from her best friend, Judith. Judith was someone, whom was obsessed with rich Lekki secondary school boys. On a faithful day, Judith got invited to a rich beach party and forced Uyai, to tag along. Uyai so much hated the rich kids, cause she believed they were tinie tiny no good spoilt brats. But things began to change for Uyai, when she accompanied Judith to the party, and saw what she believed must be her clone, or her brain just playing tricks on her. Uyai began to receive an anonymous letter, from someone whom identified herself as 'T'. What would happen when 'T' reaches up to Uyai, claming to be her long lost twin, and also asking for help, to act as her? Would Uyai accept the offer by choice, or by force? ~°~°~°~°~ "I feel someone wants me dead and you being the stronger twin, I want you to help me protect myself." ~°~°~°~°~ Started : 05/04/2020 Finished : 18/10/2020 ~°~°~°~°~ Highest Rankings 02/06/2020 #1 - proudlynigeriaComplete
