Novel & Cerita Lie To Me Book Jt Ellison

“Did you plan on killing all of them, or was Jessie an afterthought? Just tying up loose ends?” “What are you talking about?” Elroy gasped, his breath coming in hard, fast pants. “What do you want from me?” “I want you to tell me about blackmail and murder. I want to know exactly how you did it.” “I told you about the blackmail,” he said in a reedy voice that sounded nothing like his usual rich baritone. “You can’t do anything about that now.” “I want to hear about what you did last night, feet pu tan,” Jason demanded, pulling tighter.

I whimpered, “I don’t know you,” “Then, why lie to me?” He roared, a voice of authority jolted me, scaring me somehow. I don’t understand why it seemed to be a big deal when he doesn’t know me. I could feel his hand gripping my arm, but I could not seem to cry. “I did not lie to you, Blake,” I said bleakly. “You know my stance about rich people. I can’t fall in love with you,”

He didn’t speak, didn’t try to touch me, but his presence filled every corner like he had a right to it. He didn’t. Not anymore. The interior was minimal. Sparse furniture, neutral walls, no family photos. A life nobody lived—perfect for two people who were both pretending to exist. I dropped my bag on the floor and turned to him. “You said you’d tell me everything once we were safe.” He nodded slowly. “I will.” “Start with your name.” His jaw flexed. Then, with a voice quieter than I’d ever heard it, he said, “My name is Elias.”

Little did I know that he had given all his burning love to Elsa, and what was left for me was just cold indifference. The next day, I woke up before dawn and noticed the screen of Xavier's phone glowing. He was turned away from me, chatting with someone saved in his contacts as "El". "Xavier, I'm coming back. I had only left five years ago because your parents told me you had decided to marry Halyna Joffrin."

Elias hurried to help her when he saw that she was awake. She forcefully pushed him away. Elias’ hands remained suspended in mid-air. Then, he awkwardly put them down. Jeanette icily stared at him. In just less than a split second, the one person she had wholly trusted, the only person she remembered, turned out to be the biggest liar in the world. Now, the liar was the very picture of concern, trying to gain her trust back. Jeanette chuckled softly. Her smile looked a little wretched. “Elias, there’s something I’ve never told you.”

“Your version of normal is finding ways to annoy me to no end. And yet for the past seven hours, it has involved an ongoing campaign to make me feel like a piece of furniture.” He puts his pen down then and looks at me, and there’s something in his expression that isn’t quite amusement but occupies the same neighborhood. “You stole tests for your friends, got yourself two weeks of detention, and you’re choosing to spend it requesting conversation from the one person here who was minding his own business. What does that tell you about your life, Ellis?” “It tells me my life is extremely interesting and yours needs help.” I fold my arms on the desk. “Are we going to acknowledge what happened o

No one had ever stood up for me like this before, and Elliot didn’t realize just how deeply his fierce protection stirred my gratitude—and something far more profound. I put my hand on his chest to calm him down. “Let me handle this,” I murmured softly to him, and he nodded his head in understanding. “So, you’re not going to admit the truth?” I asked, my voice steady despite the storm raging inside me. “Lila, you’re trusting the wrong people,” he spat, desperation bleeding into his tone. “Yeah, I’m hearing that a lot lately from the people I once trusted,” I sneered, making his eyes widen as he looked at me in disbelief.

Elliott’s POV He caught me. I knew he would. I didn’t even have time to shut the door before he walked in. One second I was frozen in front of that painting, and the next, Damien stepped inside like he already knew someone was snooping around. His eyes met mine—not angry, but unreadable. There was something deep in them. Something heavy. Something like a secret held too long. My heart thudded painfully in my chest. I couldn’t breathe.

I whispered as I looked over his badly hurt face. “I’ve been better.” We both let out a dry laugh, the sound echoing too loudly in the vast, empty room. The building was otherwise quiet, but that quiet made you think that someone was always watching. Listening. “How long?" I asked. “Days. I lost track," Eliot said. “They gave me drugs a few times. Hurt me. Made me sign things. Lies.” "What kind of lies?" “That I was paid to spy. That I was feeding information to your enemies. That I approached you on purpose.”
