Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life SON
Gavin took up his phone and called Lila immediately; he could not wait to share the good news with her. Lila looked down at her phone and waved it to her mother. Her mother had come into her room to update her about the situation. Lial had never seen her mother in her room so much that this was weird for the both of them. "See," Tessa said with a smug smile on her face. She had told her daughter that Gvain was going to reach out that night to tell her about the divorce because she was certain that she had been able to push Evangeline out of his life. "What do I need to tell him?" Lila had always known better than to argue with her mom, but something inside of her wanted to get all the opportunity to have a conversation with her mom, so she tried to act as if she did not believe that Evangelien was going to go through with it. Somewhere inside of her, she wanted to believe that she loved Gavin, but seeing how she crumbled in front of a lump change, then she must really have been aft

"I am so glad we can do this," Oliver said as they sat down on the top floor in one of the finest dining rooms in the city. He had booked the entire place out so they were the only ones in there. "I am too; it seems as if things have been hectic but I have no idea what is going on," Arietta replied. She had tried her best to reach out to Lila but nothing seemed to be going through. She saw a lot of things but nothing was making sense. "It sure has," she expected Oliver to at least say a little bit more but he was quiet. "So what is the sudden dinner for? I thought we were going to meet tomorrow night," she said, knowing that tomorrow was Friday and they usually met on Friday for a full twenty-four-hour date to catch up on all they could not go on during the week. "We can still meet tomorrow," he said, and she wondered what his problem was and why he was not saying anything more to her."Do you want to explain why we are here in this empty, dimly lit restaurant?" Oliver did not kn

"Have you been avoiding me?" Sam asked as he sat beside Damien at the bar. He had come in to drink on a Friday night and met Damien, who rarely came to places like this since he was afraid he might fall back into an addiction to alcohol sitting right there. "Why would I avoid you?" Damien asked, looking at Sam as he ordered from the bar. "I have no idea. I have been trying all week to know what has been going on with you but it seems like you are blocking me." "Blocking you? If anyone heard you, they would think we were in a relationship," Damien murmured and took the glass in front of him to his mouth. He winced as the hot liquid burned down his throat. "Then why are you doing it?" "You are imagining things; I have been busy with work and you have been busy as well," he said and then added under his breath. "I wonder what kind of lawyer has so much free time." "The one that is about to take over his dad's company in a few months." "What?" Damien was not sure if he had heard ri

"You have done a pretty good job at hiding from me for the past week that I never thought I would see you here like this," Arietta said. Lila's hand on the fridge tightened as she wished at that moment that she had superpowers so she could disappear from sight immediately. She swallowed and wondered why she had come down; she blamed Oliver for not letting her know that Arietta would be around today. If she had known, she would have stayed coupled up in her room for the rest of the day. "Hiding from you?" she asked, acting as if that was not what she had been trying to do. "Why would I do that?" she asked without turning to her. "Are you saying you were not trying to hide from me?" "Of course not.""Then when are you going to turn around?" she asked and Lila closed her eyes and steadied her breathing. Her mother had warned her not to say anything about the plans they had to anyone and she felt that if she and Arietta were in the same space, she might be forced to tell her all about

"Mr. Calloway," Gavin called. Damien was just leaving the hotel after having a meeting with some journalists while Gavin was going in. His assistant had informed him about Gavin coming in but he chose to ignore it. If he got into a conversation with him, he might be tempted to beat him up. He made Lila's life a living hell and he was not okay with it. "Keep walking," he said to his assistant, who was about to stop. Grey did not understand but he obeyed. Damien was stone and cold, but he never ignored any businessman, especially in public, and since rumours were going around that Gavin was set to marry Lila, his reputation was getting better. Damien might benefit from standing close to Gavin at this time, even though he might not really need it. "Damien Calloway," Gavin called out again and then laughed to himself. "Are you ignoring me?" he asked and then let out a sharp laughter. "Don't you think it is a bit rude to ignore others?" Damien stopped and turned around; he marched to h

"Hello?" Lila said into the phone. She had been ignoring the unknown number but it had been calling her and she knew that she might need to hear what it was that they wanted to say. "Hello, Ms. Carson." The voice was a bit familiar but she could not place it on a face. "Who am I speaking with?" she asked, not waiting for him to introduce himself. "I am Grey, Mr Calloway's assistant" "Okay? How can I help you?" She knew she was not supposed to be on this call but one thing she wondered was why he was calling her. Did Damien put him up to it?"Mr. Calloway has no idea that I am calling," he said as if he were reading her mind. "Do you read minds?" she murmured in a very low, inaudible tone. "I did not quite get that, ma'am," he said and she cleared her throat. "I was mumbling nonsense to myself so you don't have to worry," she said and he nodded and cleared his throat. "Why did you call if Dmaien did not ask you to call?" "I might be intruding or overstepping by saying this and

Lila stood in front of Gavin's house and swallowed hard. She had been standing for a good moment; she wanted to run away. She could not bring herself to ring the doorbell. "I have come this far to back out now," she said, taking a step forward and ringing the bell. She heard shuffling from inside the house and then the door flew open in front of her. "Hi there," she said. He took her by surprise and hugged her tightly, her hand to her side. "I am so glad that you could make it," he said, leaving her, and she was glad he did because if he held on longer and she did not hug back, she would seem strange. They were supposed to be lovers but she had not thought of the fact that they might want to do intimate things. What was she supposed to tell him? It was not like she was one to say no to things like that; that was the way she ended up pregnant and he knew her. Could she say her values had changed and she was waiting for marriage now? She knew that she had to come up with something to

By the fourth time of meeting her son, Jason has began to bond with her better than the first time. "He really likes you" Gavin commented. "Of course he does. I am his mother" Lila replied. She could not believe this guy was not still comfortable with leaving her alone with the boy. They had planned to have the boy kidnapped today but he was not going away. She knew that if he stayed with her then the plan was going to fail and she could not have it fail. She would be in great trouble if it did fail in her hands. Since she could not get him to leave her alone with the boy, Tessa made Oliver to call him out. He was to act as if he wanted to take him out for drinks to accept him into the family and then that was when disaster would strike. Lila was not sure it would pan out the way they wanted since he had been careful with leaving Jason with her. It was as if he was picking up on what was going on."That true" he said slapping his thigh. His phone began ringing and Lila held her b

Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life PROPOSED
"Do you really have to go?" Damien hated that Lila was whining over the phone. "Am I whining again? Why am I acting like this?" she muttered to herself and before he could say anything, she was speaking again. "When are you going to be back?" she asked."In two days and once I am back, I am going to run to you.""Okay then, you want me to go in the evening to check on Daisy?" she asked. Daisy was a dog that he had adopted and she hoped that soon she would join them at the house. Although staff were allowed in the house now, she wanted to still go over to his place; if she could not see him, then at least she could see the dog."Yes, can you do that?" he asked."Of course I can," she said and he took a deep breath."I gotta go down. I will call you as soon as we get there but it might take a while," he said and she nodded. She had to be understanding; as much as she wanted to cling to him, he had to have a life or else she would be known as the woman who sucked the life out of her boyf
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life ELEVATED LOVE
Lila stood in front of Damien's office; surprisingly, since Gavin was put behind bars and they had publicly declared their relationship, he felt free and began to go to work. Lila wondered what he had done to her; she wasn't the kind of person who would randomly show up at his office on a Monday morning but he had been out of town all weekend, meaning they didn't get to spend time together and since he was so busy with a product launch, he came to the office straight from the airport. She was supposed to be at work but should go to work after seeing him.She cleared her throat and walked into the office. The lobby was littered with people going in and out and some small groups of people talking. She tried to look at them; ignorance is bliss; if she did not check them, she wouldn't know if they were looking at her or even talking about her. She stood by the elevator with some other people and got in as soon as it stopped. She was going to the last floor so she made herself comfortable
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life DEPARTURE
"Do you really have to go?" Lila was standing at the airport as they were seeing her mom off; she could not understand the reason her mom was in such a hurry to leave them. She stayed until the end of the wedding ceremony and then began to talk about leaving to continue her world tour.Lila and Tessa were just getting close but Tessa knew it would be short-lived; if she stayed a bit longer, then both of them would be at each other's throats in no time."Yes, if I don't go, then we will fight Tessa replied with a blank expression on her face."Spo why don't we make conscious efforts to make sure we don't fight?" To Lila, the question made sense because if they were to make an effort, then maybe they could stay together."I would like to try but I...""You don't want to try, you just want to make excuses" Lila understood and she was sure not to try and bring me up again. Her mother was not willing to try; she had better things to do and that was okay. Even if she would miss her, she at
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life MARRIED
FIVE MONTHS LATER"I know I was happy that you were joining my family but I still can't believe you are marrying my brother," Lila murmured as they waited to be called in."I would have you know...""You love my brother." Lila cut Arietta off before she could complete the sentence. "I know you do; I understand that you do but I still cannot...""If you can't understand it, then I suggest that you let it be." Arietta knew it was playful banter but she was getting nervous; she wondered what was going on in the hall and why it was taking so long for her to get called in. She wanted to tell Lila to go check what was going on but she knew if she showed fear, Lila, who was far more nervous than her, would freak out.She opened her mouth to continue the banter when someone came to tell her that her father would be there any moment to walk her in. Matteo came in almost immediately and it had Arietta wondering why they had to send someone when he was right behind her."Oh my goodness!" he excl
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life RESOLVE
Lila waited for her mom to be out of the room before she said a word. She could not believe that she had just stood up to her mom and it had worked. It made her begin to think of all the times she could have done the same and maybe it would have worked too. She was still trying to process what had happened when she felt her feet leave the ground and dangle in the air. Alarmed, she looked down to see Damien holding her up. She looked down at him with wide eyes."What are you doing?" she asked with shock all over her face."I have missed you so much. I can't believe we began dating and we had to stay away for so long," he said, not answering her question. She felt butterflies swell in her stomach. It felt good hearing a man say words like that. It was never that way with Gavin for her, at least the side of him he decided to show her."I missed you too," she replied. She could not help but say, looking down at his face after hearing such words was enough to make her blurt them out withou
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life LIFE
Damien spent the next few days shuffling between his office and the police station; somehow getting Gavin behind bars made him feel like a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He could finally stand face to face with Kevin and Rosa without feeling bad. He and Lila had been communicating via text messages only and the words sounded as formal as they could be. She had told him that she was going to wait but first Gavin had to be securely behind bars because she feared what he might do.Even though Damien swore to protect her, he could still understand her paranoia. Every time he went to see Gavin with a lawyer, he was screaming in his voice and breaking out in a sweat, demanding Lila. Of course, Tessa was never going to allow Lila to show up there; it was still scary to see how much Gavin was not willing to give up even though he saw that there was no hope for him again.Gavin was glad that at last, it was the final hearing; he wondered why the court was dragging out the trial
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life RIGHT
Damien sat across from Oliver, wondering what he wanted to say; it was not like he was completely oblivious to whatever he was going to say; it was just that he had expected that all of this would blow over and Gvain would be safely behind bars before they talked about anything."You deceived me," Oliver said at once; there was no time for him to be beating around the bush. Damien had not thought too much about it before he decided to deceive him."I did," Damien replied with a head nod. It was not a false accusation after all and he thought that the faster he admitted to doing it, the faster they got to stop talking about it. "I wanted revenge and since I did not have the facts, I ran with what I had.""So all the while I was helping you get revenge against my sister and even after spending time with her, you did not realise that you were wrong about her?" Oliver asked. Lila was the kind of girl you would not believe would ever hurt a fly, even as her brother he had to say that nothi
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life TALK
Lila stood behind a glass watching Gavin get questioned; she wanted to run in there and scream in his face now that she was sure there was no way he would escape from there. She watched him get flustered even though he tried to act cocky. They were yet to bring up Amber and the evidence they had gotten. She knew he would lose his mind once he saw the evidence because that would point directly to her. She was the only one who had that evidence so he would know immediately that this was her doing but she did not care. There was no escaping for him for this one.She turned to Oliver, who was standing beside her. Tessa had said that she did not have a need to stand in the room and watch him get interrogated and the chief of police had taken her to his office so she could sit and get some coffee to drink. "I think I have seen enough; I want to go home," she announced, turning slowly to Oliver."I told you there was nothing to see here but you wanted to see," Oliver replied, his voice devoi
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life EVIDENCE
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.
