Lie To Me Cal Lightman Novels & Stories

Detective Richards didn’t trust Cal Martin from the moment he laid eyes on him. He just gave off the vibe of a very angry and violent man. There was something in his eyes that showed he wasn’t all that stable. “What is this about?” Cal rolled his eyes. “Do you know a Donovan Lewis?” “Unfortunately. He’s a fucking loser who got my girlfriend pregnant.” “He’s dead.” “I thought the world seemed like a better place.” Cal grinned. Detective Richards was taken aback by Cal’s response. He didn’t even pretend to be upset by this news.

On our wedding day, my fiancée and brother died in a tragic crash, and the shock left my mother completely bedridden. Everyone blamed me, saying I brought misfortune and death to everyone around me. However, I didn't even have time to grieve. I worked myself to the bone, hauling concrete at construction sites by day and delivering food by night, just to afford my mother's medical bills. Then came the day I took a side job wearing a mascot suit for a grand opening event. One employee mentioned, "Our boss is super rich and handsome, and his wife is so sweet. Their family is so loving. They even rescue stray cats and dogs all the time!" I stayed quiet, only worried about whether I'd make it

But he was already walking away—quiet footsteps disappearing down the hall, leaving me alone at the table, photo in hand, storm outside pressing against the windows. And for the first time in years, I didn’t know who to run from. Not him. Not even myself. But the part of me wanted to believe him. Maybe he meant it. That maybe, for once, something real was happening between two people built entirely from damage. I lingered in my seat long after the lights had turned off, gazing into the darkness. And I realized with a sharp breath: He didn’t just pay Liam’s debt. He made me owe him something I couldn’t repay.

River looked uncharacteristically pale, his usual spark of mischief completely extinguished. Alexander was the only one looking directly at me, his expression was calm, though I could see the slight tremor in his hands. ​I leaned into the microphone. My voice felt like it was being dragged through broken glass. ​"My name is Sera Calix," I whispered, the sound amplifying across the silent courtyard. "I am not Seth. I... I lied to get into Virelade. I committed fraud. I am the daughter of a domestic worker, and I don't belong here."

He murmured, "She's just lying there anyway, like she's already gone, not using her eyes. Might as well give them to someone who really needs them." A shadow of pity passed over the doctor's face as he said, "But… What if Ms. Yocelyn Carden wakes up one day?" "Then we'll cross that bridge when we get to it." In that instant, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Was Samuel planning to give my cornea to Amelia? Was he willing to leave me blind? I was rooted to the spot, my mind reeling, as I slowly backed away from Samuel. Watching them together, so lovey-dovey, a wave of icy dread spread through me.

It's not a good look. "You're lucky you ran into someone as forgiving as me. Anyone else might have made you pay with your life..." I tried to ignore the throbbing in my abdomen and sat up straighter, but before I could defend myself, the door flew open with a bang. Marvin stood there, his face stormy, his voice dark and threatening, "Is this how you spend your time? What's going on here?" Silence took over as the previously hostile coworker suddenly found the floor fascinating.

I covered my face with both hands, my shoulders hitching with silent sobs. While watching me, Liam felt his chest tighten so much it hurt to breathe. He couldn't even imagine the despair and agony I must've felt right then. His hands trembled as he clicked to the next page, uncovering a medical report. Freya's name stood out in bold letters while the results hit him like a punch to the gut—Freya had never been pregnant. Liam's body went weak. He collapsed to the floor as he remembered how he'd thrown me away over nothing but Freya's lie. The weight of regret crashed down on him.

"I already cleared up the whole kidnapping mess, didn't I?! Rebecca just got carried away, wanting to give you a little scare! "She's too sweet and naive to actually want you dead! Look at you, perfectly fine! Not a scratch on you, so why are you being so confrontational?" "Ha..." I snorted. Sometimes, when words failed, laughter was all that was left. I stared at him, at the guy who once made me risk everything without a second thought. What was I thinking in my past life to be so blind as to give him my all? "Calvin, I've got to know: are you just playing the fool so well you've fooled yourself? Or are you really that clueless? Even now, you still think she's all sugar and spice?!"

I snapped out of it with her response saying If it would help you feel better sure I’ll go with you then came her next words I’m not sure I was ready for So who are you meeting up with she asked after taking a few moments I told her A guy I met while finishing my paperwork at school for next semester He says that he’s my mate I mean I felt it too but I’m still not going by myself I don’t know him we just met but the pull is so strong I just don’t know how to react and I’m shocked what I can’t believe you met your mate why are you just telling me this how long ago did you meet him I know he has to be handsome she says well we have been a little preoccupied I guess I will let you off this time

Meilin gave Ling a deathly stare draining all his color. She turned her head towards Lin and looked straight into his eyes. She could still see the look of helplessness that she saw during their first meeting. It was like he couldn't do anything. It was that look he had that lead her into her current situation. He was like a victim garnering others sympathy. The path he crafted for her was full of lies and thorns. She pulled back her line of sight from him and started checking her nails. She then said,"I suppose you are Mr. Bao."
