Parallel Lies: Love Triangle

De: Nancy Flores

Narrado por: Craig Mahalic

I never thought the knock on my door at 3 a.m. would be the sound of my double life crashing down. In that moment, I froze, the weight of every carefully constructed lie pressing down on me. If they found out—if she found out—there would be no escaping the fallout. My heart pounded like it was trying to escape my chest, and a single question clawed at my mind: How much do they know? The fear curled around my throat like a noose, and I couldn’t breathe.

You’d think after years of living two lives, I’d be better at keeping them separate. But the truth is, it’s not the big lies that trip you up—it’s the little ones. A forgotten name here, a misplaced key there. And now, staring into the shadowy face of the man at my door, I could feel the cracks widening. My world was unraveling, and the worst part? I wasn’t even sure which side of it I wanted to save. If you’d met me last week, you’d think I had it all figured out: a steady job, a beautiful girlfriend, a life most men would kill for. But beneath it all was a version of me you’d never recognize, and I’ve spent years making sure no one ever would. Until tonight.
