Lie To Me novel Chapter 6

I got tempted on the numbers of my notification so I scrolled through it but decided to close it seeing it was all irrelevant and nonsense.

I was about to log out when that name caught my attention. It was posted 'just now'.

Russell Perez

You're back, finally.

He posted. Then, my notification beeped. It was from him, a 'like' notification from the photo tagged to me. It was posted by my brother, minutes ago.

I opened it.

"Holy shit!" I blurted.

It was me sitting on our kitchen stool while talking to mama. Mama was also there but it was only her back that was caught in the picture.

Jericho Romero

She's back!

My brother captioned it with scared emojis.

Then, not a minute later, my inbox beeped. The chat box appeared with his name.

"Jia ..." he messaged me.

Heat ran through my whole system and before I could even think of anything, I closed my laptop and stared at it.

I sighed.

Things started to run in my head as I tried to even my breathing.

How far is the limit of love? Is there a measure of how much you can love someone?

My hands were shaking and my breathing was not even. I constantly took deep breaths to line it up but I was frustrated. The strength of my heartbeat did not help either.
