Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life A FRIEND'S WORRY
"You all know that I am against your plan to get back at Lial. I have not met her for one day, but I think she sounds like a very nice girl, and she has served her time. The government has freed her, so why are you trying to get her back in there?" "Does a person become good just because the government freed them? Are you saying the government is incapable of making mistakes?" Damien asked.As he left the Voss family house, he called Sam up so they could meet and discuss. Sam told him that he was with a client and that he would meet him at his house in a few hours. Sam came bearing a bottle of champagne that they were now downing as they spoke. "Come on, she was a first-time offender; she panicked and ran away; she came back to turn herself in; she showed great remorse in court and kept asking to meet with the victim's family, but neither of you came forward to meet with her. I think it is safe to say that she would not be making that kind of mistake again." "If she had taken Amber

"It makes no sense that you suddenly do not want to get married; we had agreed that we were going to have a wedding this year," Lila said as they drove out the party. "And the year is not even yet half done, so I do not know what the rush is about," Gavin said, rolling his eyes. They were just leaving the reception for a wedding. Gavin knew that Lila always got like this whenever they attended another wedding. She would calm down in a few hours; at least by the time they got home, she would be better. "Half the year? You haven't even asked me to be your wife yet," she scoffed as she crossed her hand over the seat belt. She hated having this conversation with him more than anything, and yet they had it at least once a month. He was constantly getting invited to weddings, and as if he were just trying his best to torture her, he took her to every single one of them, and in each one someone always asked her when she was getting married. She had been together with Gavin for six years

THREE YEARS LATERLila looked up at the sky; she had not seen the wall out of the prison in three years; it felt like a whole new world out here. She was expecting that Gavin would come today but no luck. He frequently visited her during the first six months of her being here, but shortly after that, he suddenly disappeared, claiming that he was expanding and could not be there again. Her only hope of seeing him was through the images on the television screen once in a very long while. "Helen's estate," she said to the cab driver as she entered the cab. As the cab moved down the road, she could vividly remember that day three years ago when she stood before the judge. He had sentenced her to seven years in prison because she was unable to pay the fine, not because she did not have it but because both her husband-to-be and her brother refused to bail her out. "You are foolish," her brother proudly said to her face. He knew very well that Lila was afraid to drive at night and would mo

There was no way that Lila thought of this that made sense to her; how could Gavin think to marry another woman after he put her in jail? She served the time she did not deserve, and even though she came out after three years instead of seven for being a model inmate, the scar was now on her for life. "Maybe this Evangeline is crazy and does not know what she is saying; Gavin is going to show up with a perfectly good explanation for everything," she murmured as she paced the living room. She would have gone in but she wanted to see Gavin as soon as he came in. There was no way she was trying to miss him. She had hoped to come home to a warm, nice shower and good beds where she could lie down, but now she had to stay seated until he came in. "Lila?" Gavin's voice was too shocked. He must have received the circular stating that she was coming out today, so why was he so shocked? "Gavin," she stood up so happy to finally see him in flesh and blood after all this time. "What are you d

"Boss, that woman is out of prison." Damien looked up from his table and took his glasses off his face. "She is out?" his voice came out rough. He cleared his throat and his assistant nodded his head."Yes, she is out." "But she was given seven years, and she has only spent three," Damien said, and the boy in front of him nodded. "She got out for good behaviour and being a model inmate," Gray explained. "Are you telling me that our system is so fucked up that they let a murderer leave because she acted like she was sorry?" Damien asked, slamming his fist to the table. "She was not even given the maximum punishment, and she was still let out early?" he was shaking furiously in his seat. Gray stood there anticipating whatever requests or orders he might want to give him. "What should I do?" Gray asked when Damien did not say anything but sat there in silence, probably thinking about his wife-to-be, who was killed by this woman who was now freely roaming the streets."I wanted her cl

"What have you got on her?" Damien asked Gray, who was standing at his table side. It had just been twenty-four years since he got the news about Lila's release and he had told his assistant to get information on her. He knew that the best way to bring her down was to first get closer to her and then bring her down one way or the other. He had to make her suffer for taking a life; it should not be that easy for a murderer to get free from jail."Basic information and current information""Tell me," Damien gestured, leaning into his seat and taking off his glasses. "Lila Carson, the only daughter and heir to the Carson empire, left home when her father died when she was eighteen years old. She got into a relationship with Gavin Holt; the car that was being driven by Lila that night belonged to Gavin. Gavin is now married to one supermodel, Evangeline Mark." "What is her relationship with her family?" "She is closer to her brother than she is to her mother. Her mother is barely in th

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

"Mr. Carson, is this the way you intend to carry out your revenge on the woman who killed my daughter?" Kevin said to Amien, who stood by his desk. He had heard that Damien had been parading around with a woman, and he wanted to know who the woman was even though all of the information on her was blocked.Kevin stood up and walked to the window behind his chair; it overlooked the garden that his wife had been growing. He watched her move gently in it as she swayed with the flowers. She had begun the garden after her daughter died, and it made him sad to watch her try to put so much effort into making himself happy when they had always been a happy family without trying. He blamed himself for her death because he was such a weak father who could not save his daughter; all he knew how to do was save himself. "I could save my daughter; the least I can do to take off this burden from me is to take my revenge. I was furious when I heard from the court and they gave her such a light senten

"You did what?" Arietta screamed a grape hanging out of her mouth as she was about to pop it in. "You heard me," Lila said, popping a grape into her mouth and chewing on it."My ears must be playing a prank on me because there is no way you said that." "I am putting on a show, and it would be a pity if the audience does not come to the show. Then who am I displaying for?" "I did not know that you had this side to you," Arietta said. From the look on her face, it was obvious that she was so excited to see what would happen at the end of it all.Lila had told her that she asked her brother to invite Gavin and his wife; she had to see the expression on their faces firsthand so she could feel some kind of satisfaction. They had no reason to do that, but they picked her up as a victim and continuously trampled upon her."What about your child?" Arietta asked. Lila needed someone to talk to, but her best friend was nowhere to be seen, so she decided to tell Arietta everything and hope th

"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.
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life RETRIBUTION
"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
