“Go to jail for me, and once you come out, I will definitely marry you.” Those words from Gavin had been ringing in Lila’s head for three years since she agreed to go to jail to save him. She could not understand why words meant so little to him and why he was okay with betraying her like that. How did three years of her life just go to waste? Those words were the only reason she agreed to go to jail for him—how could he? “Gavin, I am going to report to the police that you were the one behind the wheels that night.” “I would not do that if I were you if you want to see your child ever again.” Lila gasped in shock; she could not believe that this man who had been madly in love with her was doing this to her. ”How could you?” “Just get lost, and you will be reunited with your child soon.” Lila stood outside the gate after Gvain and his new wife had thrown her out; she clutched her hand by her side and muttered to herself. “I am going to get my revenge.” Damien had been following the life of Lila since she ran down and killed his wife; he hated her without knowing her; he hated that she was given such a severe punishment; he hated that she was let go too early because of good behaviour. He swore that he had to get revenge no matter what. “I must get my revenge, Lila Carson.”

OWNING THE SIN

"It makes no sense that you suddenly do not want to get married; we had agreed that we were going to have a wedding this year," Lila said as they drove out the party. "And the year is not even yet half done, so I do not know what the rush is about," Gavin said, rolling his eyes. They were just leaving the reception for a wedding. Gavin knew that Lila always got like this whenever they attended another wedding. She would calm down in a few hours; at least by the time they got home, she would be better. "Half the year? You haven't even asked me to be your wife yet," she scoffed as she crossed her hand over the seat belt. She hated having this conversation with him more than anything, and yet they had it at least once a month. He was constantly getting invited to weddings, and as if he were just trying his best to torture her, he took her to every single one of them, and in each one someone always asked her when she was getting married. She had been together with Gavin for six years

EMBRACING HIS GUILT

THREE YEARS LATERLila looked up at the sky; she had not seen the wall out of the prison in three years; it felt like a whole new world out here. She was expecting that Gavin would come today but no luck. He frequently visited her during the first six months of her being here, but shortly after that, he suddenly disappeared, claiming that he was expanding and could not be there again. Her only hope of seeing him was through the images on the television screen once in a very long while. "Helen's estate," she said to the cab driver as she entered the cab. As the cab moved down the road, she could vividly remember that day three years ago when she stood before the judge. He had sentenced her to seven years in prison because she was unable to pay the fine, not because she did not have it but because both her husband-to-be and her brother refused to bail her out. "You are foolish," her brother proudly said to her face. He knew very well that Lila was afraid to drive at night and would mo

FAITHLESS

There was no way that Lila thought of this that made sense to her; how could Gavin think to marry another woman after he put her in jail? She served the time she did not deserve, and even though she came out after three years instead of seven for being a model inmate, the scar was now on her for life. "Maybe this Evangeline is crazy and does not know what she is saying; Gavin is going to show up with a perfectly good explanation for everything," she murmured as she paced the living room. She would have gone in but she wanted to see Gavin as soon as he came in. There was no way she was trying to miss him. She had hoped to come home to a warm, nice shower and good beds where she could lie down, but now she had to stay seated until he came in. "Lila?" Gavin's voice was too shocked. He must have received the circular stating that she was coming out today, so why was he so shocked? "Gavin," she stood up so happy to finally see him in flesh and blood after all this time. "What are you d

FADED FAITH

"Boss, that woman is out of prison." Damien looked up from his table and took his glasses off his face. "She is out?" his voice came out rough. He cleared his throat and his assistant nodded his head."Yes, she is out." "But she was given seven years, and she has only spent three," Damien said, and the boy in front of him nodded. "She got out for good behaviour and being a model inmate," Gray explained. "Are you telling me that our system is so fucked up that they let a murderer leave because she acted like she was sorry?" Damien asked, slamming his fist to the table. "She was not even given the maximum punishment, and she was still let out early?" he was shaking furiously in his seat. Gray stood there anticipating whatever requests or orders he might want to give him. "What should I do?" Gray asked when Damien did not say anything but sat there in silence, probably thinking about his wife-to-be, who was killed by this woman who was now freely roaming the streets."I wanted her cl

INTO THE ORBIT

"What have you got on her?" Damien asked Gray, who was standing at his table side. It had just been twenty-four years since he got the news about Lila's release and he had told his assistant to get information on her. He knew that the best way to bring her down was to first get closer to her and then bring her down one way or the other. He had to make her suffer for taking a life; it should not be that easy for a murderer to get free from jail."Basic information and current information""Tell me," Damien gestured, leaning into his seat and taking off his glasses. "Lila Carson, the only daughter and heir to the Carson empire, left home when her father died when she was eighteen years old. She got into a relationship with Gavin Holt; the car that was being driven by Lila that night belonged to Gavin. Gavin is now married to one supermodel, Evangeline Mark." "What is her relationship with her family?" "She is closer to her brother than she is to her mother. Her mother is barely in th

ANOTHER WOMAN

Lila wanted to escape this man, but he stood by her side. Somehow she thought that her brother would come to her rescue, but instead of doing that, he was chatting away with people from the party. She looked at him and sighed; he was such an outgoing person, and she wondered how he did it. She had barely had a full conversation and felt like her social battery was dead. If she had needed to make small talk, she would, but she especially did not want to do that. How could her brother be so cruel and push her out of the house just after she had gotten home from jail? She now hated crowds and gatherings like this so much because every day in that prison yard felt like a big sad and lifeless party she was forced to partake in. There were no foods, jesting, dancing, or laughing; only brutal fights and bullying, which she managed to so very much escape every time. "So I have never seen you around?" Daimen started the conversation, hoping to get something out of her. Everyone knew her bro

SHARED BEGINNINGS AND MIDDLES

Lila took slow steps to the door with rage filling her body. She was not sure if it was because she was possibly drugged or if it was because of Gavin that she was angry; all she knew was that she had to get out of that place as soon as she could."The nerve of that guy—who could he be? How dare he?" She murmured to herself as she approached the entrance, trying her best to make sure that she did not blame Gavin for the rage she felt. He might have betrayed her, but all he did was in his best interest. And one can only love adequately when they are in the best possible shape."What are you thinking so much?" Joseph asked, snapping his fingers in her face. She looked up, and the frown on her face turned to surprise and admiration."Joseph," she gasped at him, and he nodded. "Oh my gosh," she added."It is you, the infamous Lila Carson," he said, holding her hand."It is me," she said, and a laugh escaped her lips. "I did not expect to see you here.Why not?" he asked, and she shook her

BONDED BY YOUTH

"I do not want you to nurture that thought in your mind," Sam said as they sat at the back of the Mercedes-Benz that was driving them home. "Why are you taking my car home when you did not come in it?" Damien asked, ignoring the many things Sam had been saying since they got into the car. Sam knew at once that Damien had approached this girl intentionally. There was no way he just managed to stumble on her; his goal was to avenge his fiancee's death, and Sam could not tell how far he could go. He was afraid his friend might end up in jail for doing what he should do. "Amber would not..." The words were barely out of Sam's mouth when he was backed up to the corner of the car. His back to the door and Damien's hand on his neck, choking him and staring deeply into his soul. "Come on, man," he let out in a strained voice as he coughed and tried to free himself, but the grip was strong and painful. "Take Amber's name out of your mouth," Damien let out slowly. "Why? Just because I mana

WEIGHT OF REGRET

Lila woke up that morning, and her mind flashed to what had happened three years ago. It was around the season when she had been bundled to jail, and now she felt a sense of guilt overwhelm her, even though she was very innocent of all the charges that had been brought forth against her.She had the sudden urge to visit the grave site of this lady and seek forgiveness once more, even though she had done that before being thrown in jail. She begged, and they let her go there to apologize for her wrongdoing. She was apologizing that she was not brave enough to make sure that the main culprit served his time; she was apologizing for being too scared to try her best to make sure she was taken to the hospital and maybe she would have survived."Those clothes," Oliver said as Lila walked into the dining room. She walked to the pot of coffee on the table and poured herself a cup before carefully sniffing it and then taking a sip. "Don't tell me it is what I am thinking, Oliver said, dropping

BOUND BY GUILT

Damien stood in front of the Voss building as he eyed it up and down. He wondered how he was going to tell Mr. and Mrs. Rosa Voss that their daughter's murderer had been released and that she was roaming freely. Mr. Kevin Voss had blamed Damien for the death even when they convicted the murderer. He had been against their marriage as he wanted her to get married to Oliver Carson since their family was already doing business with the Carsons, but because of how much he loved his daughter, he had to give in when she pestered him and when she was brought back to him dead.He swore never to forgive Damien and that woman for taking the life of his daughter from him. Rosa, on the other hand, did not know how to process the pain, so she just withdrew and became a shell of herself. The Voss family, who were popular for appearances at parties and were part of the socialite group, were suddenly missing from society.He was led in by the butler who said not a word to him; he was just getting to
