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

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    Daimen stayed a bit with Kevin and Rosa, explaining everything he had gathered and that he planned to make sure that Lila paid. Rosa tried to talk them out of the plotting, but they turned on her."You know if the law said that she was free to go, then maybe she was truly free to go," Rosa said as they all sat down now. Kevin felt like Damie was finally being a bit useful to him so he asked him to sit down. He wanted to hear his plans for revenge so he could support him in any way."So are you saying the law is right for releasing the woman who killed our baby girl?" Kevin asked, turning to Rosa, who was seated between both men."The law has done what it can do best so why do we want to still take matters into our own hands and have blood on them?' she asked, turning from man to man with the hardened expression on their faces."So are you saying that our daughter should not rest in peace?' Kevin asked.Rosa turned to him with an expression of bewilderment on her face. "How can you say

    Lila remembered the name from the last party she was at, and she tried to tell her brother that going on that date was not going to work, but he was adamant about it, and she did not want to overly resist and give him a reason not to help her. She did not have any advantage, and she was at his mercy, so she had to do what he wanted, at least for now. She took slow steps as she walked to one of the tables in the coffee shop. Oliver had suggested fancy dining for their blind date, but she had turned it down and asked that they meet in broad daylight and at a coffee shop. She was not going to allow him to have a reason to want to be with her. This blind date had to flop, and she was going to make sure. As soon as she secured her seat, she went up to the counter to get a drink for herself, and since it was blazing hot outside for some reason when it had poured continuously through the night, she got an iced coffee for herself. She sat and waited, hoping he would not show up. She sipped

    "That is such a cliche question; do you ask all of your blind dates that?" Lila asked, and he shook his head. "Then why would you ask me something so basic? Do I look basic?" she continued.Damien was only asking that question to be able to gather information on her; that way he would be able to woo her properly, but it seemed like she was intentionally trying to sabotage this date as if she knew that he was onto him. "Why don't you tell me about yourself instead?" she asked before he could refute her claim."About myself?" he asked. He thought in his mind if he should mention that she was the reason he became a hopeless person like this; he wondered if he should tell her that because of her, all the rightness in his life disappeared suddenly. "There is nothing much that isn't on the internet," he said with a smirk on his face."If all I need to know about you is on the internet, then why are we on this date? Why did you ask my brother to set us up?" She asked, and before he could say

    "So what do you say about my offer?" Lila asked as they stood outside waiting for her cab to arrive. Damien wondered what kind of girl she was and how she was so simple. He had expected her to show up in some fancy dress and shoes, but she wore an ordinary, no-brand-name t-shirt and a pair of jeans with slip-on tennis shoes. Instead of having one of the drivers at her house pick her up, she was using a taxi service. Damien could not figure her out because it seemed all he knew about her did not match what he saw currently, and he knew that would be much of a hassle for him."I will think about it and you will hear my conclusion from your brother," he said. She nodded as she watched her taxi pull up in front of her and roll down the window."Here for Ms. Carson, the man said, and she nodded with her hands waving in the air."That is me," she said, going to the back seat. Before her hand could touch and pull on the handle, the door opened in front of her. She looked up to him. "I could

    It took a while before the officers came to release all civilians from the room they kept them safe, the criminal was found and even transferred from their station to a more secure one. It was then that Lila knew that her mother and brother were standing outside the entire time. By the time they came in, Kevin was already speaking with the officers about how he would like to keep Gavin in there until there was evidence.Tessa did not pay any heed to Lila but walked straight to Kevin, who was arguing with the officer he was speaking to. "Mr. Voss," Tessa said as she approached him. Kevin turned around to see her and smiled with the base of his lips."Mrs. Carson, it has really been a while since I saw you," he said, turning to her."Can we talk a bit?" Tessa asked and he nodded. "Can we have some privacy, please?" she asked the officer who was still standing by them. The man looked flustered but his expression changed to gratitude because he was happy that he had found a way to escape.

    Gray nodded and then turned to Damien. "I have something to report sir"Damien looked up from his phone, he could not understand Lila's response for some reason it felt as if she was suddenly closed off. He did not understand how he was able to feel it but the feeling was there and he could not shake it off."Go on" Damien nodded switching off the screen and putting the phone on the table. "What is it?" he asked when it felt as if Gray was trying his best to gather his thoughts together."You asked me to keep tabs on Mr Voss and his assistant just reported that they are currently at the station but are not being allowed in because a serial killer broke lose in the statin""So he can't..." Damien trailed off with his eyebrows knitting together, he looked to Gray hoping that he would tell him that it was not what he thought and all was well. "Is Lila?""Yes sir, she was already in the station before the incident"Damien stood up, his heart broke at the news. He had been against her goin

    Lila stared at the screen; she knew that she should not pick up but her heart was doing a number on her. She pressed her lips together and watched the phone screen go off after the call ended but almost immediately his call came in again. How was she supposed to ignore his calls after what happened between them last night?The call stopped and then a message came in. "Are you busy? Should I call later? Is now not a good time?" The messages poured in and she read them in her head; she could hear him saying it to her.She slid her hand across to open up the chat; all she wanted to do was to tell him about what was going on but how could she? She took a deep breath and replied, "Yes, I am; let us talk later." She pulled together all of her willpower and sent the message out. It was lacking but that will do for now.She knew he would be confused with her reply and would want to reach out again; she heard commotion outside but she thought nothing of it; after all, this was a station and it

    As soon as Lila stepped outside, she felt the need to call Damien. She did not know why but she felt that as soon as he heard his voice, all of the worries and fear in her heart would automatically disappear. She walked towards the toilet. The first thing she did was check through the entire bathroom stall to ensure that no one was there before she suppressed all she was feeling within her. She called her mom first even though her finger itched to call Damien instead. "What do you mean he knows?" "I mean that Gavin seems suspicious of me and thinks he is getting a hunch that we are trying to play him," Lila explained, even though she knew that her mother understood what she meant. "I understand that I am asking why you are calling me instead of doing something about it." Her mother's words shocked her. "You want me to think about something on my own and do it?" she asked, biting her lips afterwards because stringing the words together in her mind did not make sense and it even ma

    "Lila, you must think that I am a fool.""Gavin Holt, do you want me to call you a lawyer or do you want to sit there and accuse me of something so absurd that I have no idea?" she asked. Gavin was sure of what he had put together in his mind but seeing how she was acting, his thoughts began to jumble up in his mind. It was as if all of his thinking was becoming distorted and for what reason? It made no sense to him at all."Are you saying you did not go to Kevin with the evidence from that day?" "Why would I go to him with it? I already told you that we are going to get married and be together for a long time so if I want that to happen, why would I go to him with the evidence and make you get locked up in here?" she asked. She was sure that sitting in the cell with nothing but thoughts in his mind had made him overthink and, in some way, figure out what was going on but she had to stay calm and assure him that nothing was wrong, especially from her end. "Are you just a pawn in t

    Gavin felt agitated in the cell; it was as if something was off with the situation. Why would Kevin suddenly want to put him in jail? Something must have triggered him to do that. Suddenly it began to make sense to him that he was getting played by the Carson's. He knew in that instant that all of this was to put him in jail. They could have tucked him away a long time ago but the fear, especially from Lila, had been what he would do to their son. He could not do anything to harm his son but he would rather be safe so he used his life as a threat to her and surely enough, she fell for it because she was the type who fell for things like that so easily. He had asked Lila if she was going to send a lawyer and she told him that she would but now he knew that she would send him the worst, the kind that would make him end up in jail for a long time. He racked his mind trying to figure out who he would call to help him out but no one came to mind. He realised that he was all alone; they

    Damien held her face with a smile on his face as he pulled her closer. She had never seen him like this and she very much liked this version of him. She held his face too, striking her finger over his face. He kissed her with so much passion that she felt heat even in places she was not supposed to. She wondered how she made him feel as well. Was he getting tortured by him? "Want to get out of here?" he murmured again over her lips. She wondered how her mind was able to place what he meant."I want to but Jason is up there and he would be searching for me first thing in the morning as soon as he woke up," Lila replied. She was surprised at how much willpower she had grown for herself over the year. It was kind of great because she knew that if she was the same person from three years ago, she would have gone with him. He frowned because he did not like her answer. "Moreover, it is our day one and we have such a long time to go so why don't we take it slow and easy?" She asked, rubbi

    Damien was shocked but he did not lean away; he held the side of her face and took control almost immediately. Lila snapped back to her senses and wanted to pull away but Damien did not seem like he was that interested in pulling away. Even though her brain was telling her how bad this was for reasons she could not tell, her heart was thanking her. It was as if someone rubbed an ointment onto her skin. It was so soothing that she wanted to bask in the feeling forever. She could feel the eyes of the security judging her but at that moment she could care less. She melted back into the kiss and wrapped her hand over his neck. She wanted to draw closer to him but the centre console between them was making it harder for her. She was thinking of climbing onto his lap but she was already giving the man outside a show; it would be better if she just behaved properly.After a while, Damien pulled away breathlessly; she tried to look at her eyes but she was not sure what she was seeing.

    Lila stared ahead of her into the dark outside as his image became sharper in her eyes. She wanted to speak, but her mind was not answering as it should. She heard him saying something, but she could not string together the words to make a simple statement. "Lila, are you listening to me?" he said when he waited for her response, and she responded with silence. "Hmm?" She jerked back to reality when she heard her name. For some reason, his actions touched her greatly. It was as if someone finally did for her what no other person could. "I said..." he trailed off when he saw her turn and walk away. He was a bit startled and wondered why she was acting that way. "Lila? Where are you going?" he asked but her puffing was the only thing that responded. He knew that she was coming out and it was obvious she did not hear anything he said earlier because he told her that he just wanted to make sure she was okay and nothing more. The door opened and Lila crept out; she walked to the gate an
