Lies

Summary:

One rainy morning, Heather, Noah, Tyler, and Courtney receive a mysterious call saying that their beloved Alejandro has passed away.

The four arrive at their husband/lover/friend's childhood home. There, they are greeted with a video explaining that one of them is Alejandro's murderer, and they have 12 hours to expose the culprit. If they do, all four will receive a part of his inheritance and avoid jail time. If not, no one receives anything.

Burromuerto's four star-crossed lovers will discover his relationship with each of them, as well as their own lies.

Chapter 1

Chapter Text

Once upon a time, there was a honeyed land with vermillion-colored roofs, where I was queen and he was king. In a kingdom of love stories.

My magical castle in the air
Shined transparently in the sun.

Then there was that cruel storm.
And the castle in the air fell.
In the light of a lightning bolt, it opened at my feet.
The master of her heart.

Then I could see him for what he really was.
And what I discovered shattered me.

My king was a stone monster.
With a heart of stone.
He paid for my love with stones.
He broke my dreams with stones.

I was once that faithful, naive girl.
Who believed this tale to be true.
And I paid so dearly for my stupidity.
That I don't want to dare to dream.

I don't want any more castles in the air.
Nor kings who hurt without mercy.

My king was a stone monster.
With a heart of stone.
His love was always a lie.
Castles that are now ruins.

Castillos, Amanda Miguel
