Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life BARE
"I needed this," Lila said in a slur as she pressed the empty beer can. Damien was careful to prevent what had happened before from happening again. He was not trying to get her drunk, but it seemed like she was drinking to get herself drunk instead. "Why don't you slow down?" He murmured, trying his best not to look at her but to stare at the wall directly ahead. "What?" "You drank wine and now you have drunk three cans of beer." He pointed to the crushed-up cans in front of her as her hand lingered forward to get another can. "Why are you trying so hard to get drunk?" he asked. She took the can and opened it as if she was not hearing all he was saying at that moment. When she swallowed the liquid in her mouth, she turned to him."I need it for courage." "Courage," he said as if he was testing out the new word he had found out. "Courage for what?" he added immediately."To talk to you" "What do you want to talk about that needs so much courage?" he asked. She liked how responsiv

"Are you not going to say anything?" Lila asked when they sat in silence for a long time. She had said she was not asking him for a response but it would feel good to hear what he had to say.She did not know what his reaction was going to be but she had braced herself for anything. She was not going to deceive herself and it did not hurt but one thing she was going to try and live with was the fact that she could not control him or his reaction. "Is that the way you feel?" "Yes, and I know it is wrong but...""What makes it wrong?" he asked, cutting her squeaky voice. Her voice was already betraying her and showing that she was afraid and wanted to sneak away. "What?" "What makes your feelings wrong?" "I mean, if I had not killed Amber, then you would be in a very loving relationship with her now but since she died because of me, it feels like I am taking candy from a baby," she replied with her head bent down as she stared at her legs crossed underneath her. She did not know h

"More than..." Her sentence stopped midway with his lips grazing against hers. Her eyes widened in shock as she took a sharp breath. "What are you..." As her mouth opened to talk, his lips touched hers again, this time kissing her and not stopping.She was lost; she had confessed to him; this was something she wanted but still, it felt wrong. She took her head back and created space between them. Damien could not understand why."Why?" he asked. He was supposed to string together a coherent sentence but he could not."I know we both just confessed to each other now but it still feels wrong." She was too proud of herself at that moment; she knew she was drunk yet she was able to hold herself together. "Why is it wrong? After we have bared out our hearts to each other?" he asked."Because I am in a relationship with Gavin." "I thought it was fake." "It is but... Wait, you knew it was fake? How did you know this? Was I that bad at acting?" "I had a long conversation with your mom," h

"Are you leaving?" Damien's voice startled her a bit. She stopped slowly and turned to him with a fake smile on her face. She thought he had gone upstairs but he was standing there with his back to the wall and his face to the wall ahead of him. He turned his head in her direction. He had only gotten one end of the conversation so he could not tell what it was that they had discussed. "Gavin called me to come and testify so they do not get him arrested." "And you are on your way to testify?" Damien's jaws squared as he felt anger surge through his blood. His mouth felt a little bit bitter and he did not know how he was supposed to rectify that."I want to call my mom first to hear what she has to say." Damien put one foot in front of the other and slowly closed the gap between them. With each step he took, she felt her stomach fall; she wanted to escape by any means possible because she was not sure if she would be able to control herself if he stood in front of her. "Do you have

Damien stood in the spot that Lila had left him for a while; he could not tell how long he had been standing there until Grey came to him and alerted him. He lifted his eyes and began to walk to the study. "What is this about?" "I just got a message from the police about Ms. Voss's case being reopened for investigation." "By who?" Damien asked. He needed to know who did this to know how well to react."Mr Voss" "He is taking that route?" Damien murmured. He had told Kevin to wait but it seemed the man could not wait to bring Gavin to justice. It made sense that since they had the evidence and a case, they would reopen it, but Tessa and Lila seemed to be making it bigger than it was. He could understand them; after all, the life of a small child could be ruined or made just by the actions they made."Get more details and report it to me." Grey nodded and bowed his head, ready to leave. "Also," Damien began; he did not want to bring it up earlier but it seemed as if he did not have a

"Officer, can I ask you to do something for me?" Tessa asked as they sat in the room. "Yes, ma'am," the man replied with a huge grin on his face. When she walked in with her mom, she felt a kind of suffocation from being there. The station that Gavin was in seemed to be better than the one she was taken to. This seemed to be a place for people who had some kind of connection with wealth. The officers had given her and her mother some kind of preferential treatment and Lila still could not get over how different things were when things like this happened. "One Mr. Gavin Holt was brought in today, right?" Tessa continued. The man frowned because he thought that Tessa was about to ask for his release; the man did not want to be caught in the crossfire. Mr. Voss had been the one to bring him in and he would not like to release the man without Kevin's approval. Kevin had promised to come with evidence to get him locked away for a long time. If Tessa asked him to release him, then he wo

"What took you so long?" Gavin's voice rose when Lial made her way into the room. He wanted to control himself but could not; he hated the way the room he had been kept in felt cold and lifeless with metal-like walls staring back at him everywhere he looked. There was nothing aside from two chairs and a table. He knew from movies that the other chair was the one where the detective would sit to interrogate him."I am sorry it took me so long to get here," she said, pressing her fingernails into her palm. She could not believe she still had to act like a devoted girlfriend to him. "Are you not going to explain why you are late?" he asked when she did not care to explain further. She contemplates what to tell him; does she tell him that she went to Damien's house and that they almost kissed? She cleared her throat and diverted her eyes from him. "Sit down," he said in a commanding tone, pointing to the chair opposite him. She moved from the table gently and came to sit opposite him.

Lila stared at the ceiling with fear gripping her heart; she did not know why but it felt as if something was about to happen to her. Something big, something they could not ignore and she was determined to stop it by all means necessary. When she had told Gavin she needed to take Jason with her at least so he was not scared while he stayed in jail for forty-eight hours, he had not complained because there was nothing he could do. All of his pride was dependent on Lila and he had to just do what she wanted, at least for now. As soon as they sign the marriage paper and he has her under his thumb, he is going to do all he wants to do. Her phone began ringing by her side and she froze when she saw Damien's name across the screen. She bit her lips hard as she watched it ring and stop before it began again. She didn't know how long Damien would go on if she did not pick up the phone and it was too late in the night to find that out. She slid across the phone screen and pressed it to her

Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life PERSISTS
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
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life RUMBLE
"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
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life CELL
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
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life WOMAN
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
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life KISSES AND PROMISES
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.

Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life TOUCHED
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
