Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life CHANCE
"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

"Did I keep you waiting for long?" Arietta asked as she sat down to dinner with Oliver."I just got here," Oliver said absentmindedly."Dod you?" she asked, and he nodded, looking down at his phone. He was expecting a response from Damien. If he could get his sister to be with him, then he would be happy about it all and probably steeled down herself, but he was nervous because he knew how stubborn Lila could be and tried her best to fight to the end and get what she wanted.You look gloomy; is all well?" Arietta asked Yappig the table so he could raise his eyes to her."It is," he said with a smile before putting his phone away."It does not seem that way to me," she said, tilting her head, hoping to get him to talk to her about whatever it was that was bothering him."It is fine." She took a deep breath and decided to let it go.Arietta and Oliver had been in an arranged relationship for about three months, and she felt it was time for them to decide the fate of their future togethe

Arietta sat there looking at Oliver; she wanted to scream at him and ask him if she had just wasted three months of her life trying to make this work but he did not even try and now he thought it was so easy so he could just break it off with her just like that. She cleared her throat and shifted until she was at the edge of her seat."Do you not like me?" she asked because it felt like she had misunderstood him all this while. She thought he was just an aloof man who liked to hide his feelings deep in his soul. She thought that he was the kind of man who masked his emotions with a stone face. Was she wrong? Did he not have any feelings for her?"I do not." The words as it left his mouth drove straight to her heart like a dagger that was thrust in and turned from side to side. She blinked and swallowed the lump in her throat."You do not?" she said, closing her eyes tightly as the memories of the past month flooded her heart. She could recount all of the things that had happened so we

"You promised to let me visit the family of the dead woman," Lila said as she heard her brother come into the kitchen. She had been waiting around for Gim to get back after her date, but somehow he was late that day. She wondered why he was so late that night. Since she got home, she had not noticed that he always got back late until tonight, when she needed something from him.When he did not make any snarky comments or reply sarcastically, she turned to make sure that he was the one who entered and that she did not just creep out a random staff. Surely he was the one standing there, but he had his tie on his neck half hazardly and his suit jacket in hand. This was not the image of her brother she was used to.Even after the end of a long day, he always had his tie firmly wrapped around his neck. She remembered when she was preparing to leave the house; this was shortly after her father died. Her mother turned to a travelling alcoholic as soon as her father's body was laid cold on th

Lila rushed and ran in his direction, and she was able to get to him before he could get into his room. "Wait!" she called from the distance and rushed to him."What is it?" he asked coldly. Lila wondered if this was the same man who had just been distraught a few minutes ago. How was he so cold that he was able to suppress and bury all of the emotions she felt and now acted like he had no emotions in the world? She bit the insides of her cheek in annoyance. She wished he would show emotions as he used to and just live a normal life."You said if I went on this blind date you would let me visit the family of the deceased; I want to do that tomorrow," she announced, and he shook his head."You can't," he said in a tone that told her to argue because his words were the law. She did not care about it anyway; he was to use it with his staff and not with her because it was not going to work."That was not our agreement," she said, ready to get into a fight with him if need be."Was it?" he

"And what do you intend to gain out of this? You are already rich and have all you can want so what do you think a poor girl like myself can give to you?" Lila wanted to sound helpless because she did not want to be in debt to him in any way. She just wished he would help her so she could repay and then they would part ways.Of course, she knew that, asking him to give a good report to her brother just so she could meet with the Amber Voss family. She knew that as soon as she met them, she would have to try and get him out of her life. She was not interested in getting married, even though she knew this was not something she would escape. Her simple plan was to stall as much as she could."I do not have anything in mind of now; maybe later something would come up and I might need your help," he said and she could not disagree with that. There might come a day when he would need her to do some bizarre thing."Agreed, I guess," she said in an unsure voice."You sound like you are alread

"Damien?" Rosa said as she saw him walk towards her in the garden. "I did not know you were coming over today," she added, and he smiled sadly, sitting beside her in the chair. "I also did not know that I was going to come over; it was kind of an impromptu thing," he confessed. "What is it with that expression on your face?" she asked. "What expression?""You look sad, but it is a different kind from the one I am used to," she said. He always looked sad, carrying around a gloomy face since Amber died. She always thought that it might be a good idea if he found someone who knew and loved him, but somewhere deep inside her, she wanted her daughter to be remembered a bit more. She was afraid that if she told him to do that, he might take it so seriously that her daughter would be a forgotten memory faster than one could think. That was the reason she never suggested it to him. She feared that the expression on his face was him coming to tell her that he had found someone and was goin

Tessa smiled at her daughter's report, and then she put the phone down on the table. She raised her head to meet Damien's gaze. "What do I owe the pleasure of meeting with Damien Calloway?" Tessa asked, leaning in and using her to trace the edge of the table. "Would you like anything to eat or drink?" Damien said instead of answering her. "It's already past ten; I had breakfast," she replied and then added in a low tone. "I am not an animal after all." "I am yet to have breakfast. I guess I must be an animal, but I need breakfast, so I will get you a cup of water and a few pastries for the table," he said, standing up and going to the counter to order. Tessa wondered why he had so much confidence. She knew him and his father when they suddenly rose to fame and how he changed the history of everything around him. He had been so influential that his past suddenly did not matter to everyone around him. Those who would have nitpicked at everything were comfortable with it all. Damien

Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life OTHERS
Lila wanted to check on Damien to see if he was hurt in the fight, even if it was most unlikely that anything like that would happen. She was still worried, but how would he believe anything if she was calling him up to check on him after brutally breaking up with him and even going the extra mile to try and convince him that she was done? "I never even got to tell him that I liked him," she murmured to herself. She did not know why it was so important to her, but she wanted to tell him at least once that during their time together she had begun to fall for him before she had to do what was right for herself and her family. THE NEXT MORNING"Damien is asking to meet with me," Tessa said as if she were giving morning updates to the group on the table"Why?" Lila choked out, trying not to sound too excited or curious to hear it. She had to first convince herself that she was capable of getting the job done before she could convince anyone else. "I don't know; I guess we have to meet
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life LEAVE
Gavin looked at his face in the mirror of his car before turning it off. He felt pain surge through his body. Damien had only punched him once yet but felt like he had gotten beaten up. He walked into the house hoping that Evangeline was already asleep and he did not need to go back and forth with her today. "Why are you just getting back?" "Since when did you care what time I got back?" Gavin was startled by her voice because he had looked around when he got in and had not seen anything but majorly because the entire place was dark. She watched him look around like a criminal ready to steal something when he came in. She wanted to stand in front of him and rain down cursed but held herself back. Tessa had called her and sent images of Gavin with Lila. She told her that she was against it but her daughter was going back to Gavin. If Tessa had not told her to calm down then maybe she would have gotten all rilled up and thrown him out of the house. Tessa promised to get back at Gav
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life DUEL
Gavin is barely able to recover from the punch that Damien landed on his face when another one cuts across his face so brutally. "What do you think you are doing?" Gavin screamed, tasting blood in his mouth. He spat out what he had been able to pull and moved up to Damien. He knew that he would not be able to win against this man, but the pride he felt in his heart was not going to allow him to back down. "What do you also think you are doing?" Damien asked, closing the gap between them so that they were now touching chest to chest and their faces so close to each other that if they tipped a bit, they might be kissing. "I asked you first; why don't you answer?" Gavin asked. He knew he should not be doing anything like this, but maybe the confidence that Lila was beside him now was giving him some kind of push. "What?" Damien let out a surprised laugh. "You must think that you are a big shot now," he added. "You punched first, and for what?" Gavin's eyes darted around, trying to f
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life DECLINE
"You are here with him?" Damien asked as if she had spoken in an unknown language. "Yes," she said We had so much confidence that it was even scary to her. Where did she see such confidence from, and how did she develop it?"With your ex? With the man who married another woman? Are you with a married man?" Damien's voice came out as a mixture of anger and concern for her. She could see that all was wrong, but she had to defend herself. What if Damien began to see her as a loose person who did not care about herself? "It is just a friendly date, and I do not think any of this is your business," she murmured, trying to look away. "You do not think any of this is my business?" He said, taking a deep breath as if to stop himself from exploding. "And what is a friendly date?" he asked with a puzzled expression on his face. "A friendly date; we just met to have dinner; what is so difficult to understand about that?" she asked. She knew she was not supposed to be there holding a conversa

"Why? I thought you two looked together," Gavin said. He was brimming with so much joy, but he could not show it. He was supposed to be a married man. How did he show so much happiness just because she was going to be with him if all went well? "We were a good match, but he liked me more than I liked him, and in relationships like that, it is hard to keep up, and as I said earlier, I still loved you; I liked you so much that I could not move on," she lied, and her throat felt itchy as she lied so much. "I am a married man," Lila wanted to call his bluff; he was acting hard to get, and to what end? He had been brimming from ear to ear, and now he wanted to act as if he were faithful to his wife. "I know this is wrong, but are you saying that all of the feelings you have for me are all gone?" She asked, and he stood there, watching her. "If you tell me that you do not have a single feeling for me again, I will not disturb you again." Gavin sat there and watched her without a word. "

"You are here," Gavin said as soon as the door opened and Lila stepped in. The door closed behind her, and she moved into the room. "I hope I did not keep you waiting too long," she asked."Of course not. I got here early," he said, moving from where he stood to help her get the chair. She looked at him shocked at his actions; she wanted to ask him why he was acting like such a gentleman and standing up when she got into the room. Pulling out the chair for her? She remembered their dates as a couple and how he was always nonchalant towards her. She licked her lips and shook her head, trying to act as if it were normal for him to act like this. "Thank you," she murmured instead of asking him what had come over him. She slipped into the chair, and he put it on a bit before going back to the seat opposite her. She hated the way they had to sit opposite each other and stare into their souls as if nothing was wrong with it. "You are welcome," he replied, taking up the menu and giving it
