"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

  • Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life   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

    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

  • Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life   INTERTWINED TO MEET

    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

    "What are you doing here, Sam?" Damien asked as he entered the home office. He had just returned from the date, and he had a lot to do for work, but he was not going to go to work and was going to work from home."How did you know someone was here?" Sam asked, turning the chair, backing the door, and shifting so he could be closer to the table. "Most importantly, how did you know I was the one?" Sam added a bit creeped out that Damien could make out his image in the darkness of the room.Damien walked over to the light switch and turned it on so the light from the bulbs spread through the room. He pointed to Sam's briefcase that was casually sitting on one of the couches in the room. "You are a lawyer; you should know better," he said, walking away from the switch to his desk."And you are a wizard," Sam replied, swaying in the chair from side to side."Get off my chair. I have a lot to do." Damien held the chair in place so that Sam could not shift the chair anymore."Huh!" Sam excla

    "Why would I hurt myself?" Damien asked, looking up from the file in his lap to Sam, who sat there staring at him. "I am doing this to relieve myself of the pain I have been feeling for the past three years. Only if I do this can I rest.""Are you sure about that?" Sam asked."Why won't I be sure?" Damien shook his head and flipped the page of the file in hand."Because I do not think that you can achieve peace by doing this.""I have been beating myself up all this while because I have been unable to do anything for Amber; this is the only way I can make that girl pay and still allow Amber to be pleased."Sam wanted to scream at Damien to wake up, but he knew it was going to be a waste of time to do that. He had made up his mind to do this, and anything said now was just going to be like beating a rock. He was not going to find fulfilment or fill the hole with revenge, but he knew that forgiveness was not an option for him with this woman."Tell me the plan," Sam said out of the blue

    "Look what we got in the mail," Evangeline said, waving the card in hand in the air happily. It was one of those rare mornings when they both sat at the table and ate together. Gavin always rushed out in the morning, while Evangeline stayed in bed longer than she should. "What is it?" Gavin asked, not impressed by the paper in her hand. For all he could know, that could be their bills or a bank statement on one of her numerous credit cards. He wondered if having a crippling debt on her card was a flex for her. "Your credit card bill?" "Of course not," she said, furrowing her eyebrow as she sat down in the chair opposite him. "That is exciting, but not as exciting as this news I am about to share with you." "Gee, what could be more exciting than your wonderful debt?" He said it in a dry tone. "Keep on being stupid; I will still tell you anyway," she murmured angrily, raking out the card from the envelope, dropping the envelope to the table, and turning to him as she began to read.

    "You are back early," Lila said when she saw her brother walk in. She was going to talk to him the next morning since she thought he would probably be out late since he had a date with Arietta. It was strange to her that he was already at home. "The date finished early," he said, and she frowned with her lip running downwards. "What is that supposed to mean? What do you mean by the date finished early?" She asked, getting from the couch, to go meet him by the door. "Arietta gave me good news, and I wanted to come hear from you about it.""She told you already?" Lila gasped in disbelief. "So how did this happen?" "I ran into Gavin's new wife, and she pushed me to the wall—the wall I did not know that I had built up. It was not a good feeling, but I know that if I let her continue with me like that, I would like it.""I think you have made the right decision," Oliver said proudly. "And I am glad that you made the decision all by yourself." "What does that mean?""Damien called me

    "I am so sorry, ma'am I was not aware that you came into our store; if I had known, I would have come out to attend to you by myself." "It's okay," Lila said. She did not want them to make a fuss overanythingg; she had made her point to Evangeline, so now she could relax."The present staff do not know any better." Lila could remember coming into the store with her mom when she was younger, and she could remember how members of the staff fussed over her. Her mom did buy a lot, so maybe their actions in themselves were not entirely bad, but it already made her feel self-conscious about it all."It is fine; I am fine." "How is Mrs. Carson? It's been a while since I heard from her," the manager said, trying to make small talk."Having the time of her life," Lila said a bit only because she genuinely did not know how her mother was. She was convincing herself that no news was good news and that if anything had gone wrong, they would have heard about it."How can I serve you today?" The

    Evangeline stood outside, looking at the store. After the security men had pulled her outside, one staff member followed and told her that her membership had been revoked. She screamed, but nothing was changed. After all of the money she spent on the store, how could they revoke her membership just like that? Who on earth was Lila assassinated with that you think to do something like this to her?"Gavin," she said in a sad tone over the phone. "Gavin boo," she said again. She had been mean to him over the past few weeks, but she had to tell him what she had just experienced. "Evangeline? Darling? Why do you sound so sad?" He asked in a panicked tone. "I was just kicked out of my favourite store." Gavin relaxed; he had feared that she was in danger, but he thought that this was just a little trouble over clothes, and he felt better. "Kicked you out? Why would they do that?" "I saw Lila in the store, and I knew that she could not afford the things in it, so I just asked that she be

    Evangeline watched Jane scramble away; she began to think under what name Lila was registered that made her act like that. She had known her before Gvain decided to do away with Lila and marry her; she knew how she clinged to Gavin without money of her own; she knew how she had to meet Gavin to give her everything that she could possibly need in life. She basically relied on him, so how could she have let up so fast that she already had a suagr daddy ready to take care of her expenses?"Oh, I see what is going on here," Evanegline said, sounding like he knew it all. She closed the gap between them and held her shoulder lightly. "You must have latched yourself to a rich man who ought membership for you." Lila had the urge to tell her off, but she held herself to avoid blowing things out of proportion. She had a godstore credit because she was using her mom's membership, and it was valid for them both. "If you get on your high horse, should we wait for the manager to get here first so

    "Don't you think this is too flashy?" Lila asked, stepping out of the changing room. She was in a red sequin dress flowing down to the ground; the neck was deeply cut to show a bit of her cleavage and highlighted her silhouette and curves. "You look too good," Arietta squealed as she went to hold Lila's hand."Where am I supposed to wear this to? To have breakfast or watch my favourite series?" Lila asked, turning to the mirror. It was not a lie; the dress looked too good on her, and she wanted to get it. But how could she think of getting something as expensive as this without any reason? "I have no place to wear it, so why should I buy it?" she murmured. "Who knows, you might need to attend an event soon, and wearing this would make everyone look at you." "If everyone is looking at me, then I will feel very uncomfortable," Lila replied, shaking her head.As much as she loved the dress, it was impractical for her to wear. How could she think of buying something that she might nev

    "A thousand dollars?" Lila gasped as she picked up the tag of the dress that Arietta had pushed into her hand. "That is quite affordable," Areitta said. They had spent about ten minutes going around the store with Arietta taking out clothes from the display rack and pushing them into her hands. Lila had been taking a peek at the clothes, and they were not the types she could afford. Even though Arietta had told her that she was going to have to pay and that she should not worry, Lila could not help but feel weirded out by the experience. Aruetta had said that this was her way of apologizing for the mistake that she had made, and Lila had said that a simple apology would have sufficed for it. Arietta decided to help Oliver out even though she did not fully understand the concept of it all. That was the best she could do for them. Oliver obviously had a plan, and the least she could do was help him. "Affordable?" Lila gasped.Arietta gave her a glance and muttered to her, "Do not wo

    "I am so glad that you thought of me," Arietta squealed as they walked through the mall. "I needed help, and I did not have anyone else to call," Lila said in a low voice. She had reached out to Arietta, asking if she could take her shopping. She needed new clothes if she was going to be able to live her life. "I am still glad that you thought of me even after the way I embarrassed you the other day." "Embrassed me?" Lila said in a dismissive tone. "You did not embarrass me; you just got the wrong idea, and I mean, anyone can do that," she added. She did not want to have a bad history with the girl just because of one example mistake. They could grow to be a bunch of friends and may not even know it just because she decided to keep a grudge. "You ate so nice, and I am going to make sure you have a very nice time as well," Arietta promised, latching onto her hand and pulling her away. Lila felt her phone vibrating in her pocket; she took it out and looked at it. "Oliver is calling

    "Mr. Carson, you have a call from Mr. Calloway." His assistant's voice rang through the intercom and then beeped dead. He looked at his phone, beeping a red light back at him to indicate that the phone was waiting for him to pick it up. He picked up the receiver and put it to his ears, wondering if this was some kind of joke on him because Damien never cried out first."Damien?" Oliver was shocked to get a call from Damien. He had tried for years to get close to him, but all that Damien had done was raise a wall between them, and no matter how much he tried, he was blocked every single time. "Oliver," Damien said back. Damien had been surprising himself in these recent times. He had been the one to reach out to Oliver to ask to be steered up with his sister, and now he was getting worried about Lila. He was trying to convince himself that the reason for him crying out to Oliver was not that he was worried but because he did not like to think that a small fry like Gavin was trying to
