Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life PAIN AND LAUGHTER
Lila walked in with Joseph, but she could not find him anymore. He had sworn to charm all the old ladies in the luncheon because he knew that most of them may seem weak, but they held the will of their husbands in their hands and could cause a lot of things to happen. It was the same for her parents; she had seen her father make decisions and critical ones at that at the advice that her mom had given."Come to this luncheon with two men, only to be left all alone," she said to herself as her eyes scanned the entire floor with the noise streaming and the low, soft jazz music playing from the speakers. She stood in the corner all by herself, no matter how many.When she came here, she could understand the need for such extravagant parties so many times in just a week.Her eyes caught the figure that was all too familiar to her. She could tell that it was Gavin even if she was blinded; she had spent so much time with him to know that he was the same person. He had grown out his beard, an

Gavin knew that not accepting to the terms of Evangeline was going to be drastic and difficult for him. He was already getting used to this life; how could he go back? As hard as it was getting used to living with Evangeline, he was glad he chose her as opposed to Lila, who could not better his life.What he could not understand as he stood with three other people at his table with Evangeline holding onto him like her life was in danger and he was the solution was Lila, who stood at the corner table with her hands firmly wrapped around the champagne bottle. He had seen her and was dismayed at the fact that she could be the one because she did not have the connection to make it in here, so maybe the woman he had seen was just someone who looked so much like Lila.When his eyes met hers, he could tell that she was the one. Her lovely eyes stared at him, and even with a blank expression on her face, he could not get over how beautiful she looked. He was going to escape the non-stop chatt

"You treat me like I am a stranger when I might be your husband soon.""Ha ha ha, very funny," Lila replied in a sarcastic voice. She felt fear creep up on her. She did not want to think about the possibility that she might be pushed into marriage with this man as much as she wanted to resist it. They had an agreement, and he was going to keep to it."What is so bad about me?" Damien asked. The words rolled out of his mouth as if this was something he was used to. He had never had to pick up a girl like this before. Even Amber had fallen to his lap as if she were made for him, so he did not know any tactics used by men."Because you look too much like one of those men," she murmured to him, and he threw his head back and let out a short and hearty laughter."One of which men?" he asked, tilting his head with an expression that was hard to understand across it."Playboys," she whispered as if they were sharing a moment before she threw her head slightly in the direction of the floor wh

Damien had gone to the minibar that had been set up, and as he got his drink and began to walk towards Lila, he saw that she was moving and Gavin was on her tail. He knew Gavin very well; while researching Lila, he had come up, and he researched about him too. He was the brutal ex who happened to be in the car the day the accident happened.He had testified in court and told them that Lila was sorry and had gone back to the crime scene, and that was why she had gotten a reduced sentence. From all of his research, Damien could tell that Gavin had never treated Lila right. He took a deep breath as he walked to them. He was going to act as if they were close in front of Gavin to wade him off. He could not act out his plan if her ex was lurking around her.He pulled up behind her and pulled her waist to his side. He felt as if her body made an impact on his side. He bent his head and pressed a kiss to her head. He took one of the drinks he had transferred to one hand and pushed it into he

"Thank you," Lila whispered.As Evangeline pulled Gavin away, she could not help but feel so grateful to her. She began to walk out of the room, dropping the glass that Damien had given her on the table. Her feet were moving faster than her brain was thinking, and she was out the door. The only reason she knew that Damien was right behind her was because he stretched out his handkerchief to her."For the handkerchief or for what happened in there," she looked up at him and shook her head."For both," she said. She did not like his pride and guts about the situation, but she could see that he had helped her. If he had not come to her rescue, she might have stood there and stuttered at him. She might have even ended up in his bed that night at a whim if he had asked her to do it."You should have told me that you had such an ex," he said, and she shook her head."I can recall that we agreed to keep our personal lives personal," she said, and he nodded."That is true, but I have to say t
Last Updated : 2024-11-12Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life TABLE TALK
"Hi"Oliver had tried his best to avoid Arietta all night; when he had broken up with her, he knew that he would still have to meet up with her regularly at events like this, but he was not sure if now was the right time for him to begin to do that. Matteo Arietta's father had hunted him down and brought them to the same table after his efforts all night. He just had a few more minutes before he had to leave, and now he had to be at the same table with her."Hi," he choked out, trying to maintain good energy between them. He thought that Mateo must be trying to put them back together because he had said it so many times that the only son-in-law that he would take would have to be Oliver Carson."Why are you two being weird with each other? Any trouble in paradise?" With Mateo's tone, Oliver did not know if he was just good at acting or if he did not know what had happened between them."Weird? What do you mean by weird?" Arietta said in a squeaky voice before Oliver could say anything
Last Updated : 2024-11-13Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life ON THE WAY OUT
Arietta and Oliver were walking out of the room; Oliver had to go back home so he could get ready for service the next day. They had agreed to continue in the relationship, and after about six months they would have a huge fight that no one around them would be able to settle, and that would make them go their separate ways."Took you long enough," Lila said, standing up from the bench as Oliver approached them. She had been sitting there with Damien mostly in silence, and many chipped-in questions from Damien from time to time."We are here for a party, but you seem to be out of the party the entire time," Oliver said, rolling his eyes."Ugh!" Lila said, rolling her eyes back at him mostly because she did not have an answer for him."Who is...?" Arietta trailed off, looking at Lila, who stood there. She could recognize Damien but not the woman standing beside him."She is my sister, Lila," Oliver said, throwing the names around "And this is Arietta," he said before Lila could ask him

Arietta was left speechless. She was beating herself up for being insensitive to her. Shouldn't she have just believed them when they said that they were siblings? Why did she have to make her leak her secret like this?Lila looked up, ready to be judged by Damien, but the expression on his face didn't seem like someone who was ready to crucify the other for the life choices. Arietta, on the other hand, looked horrified, and Lila could not tell if it was because she had accused them falsely or if it was because of this sudden outburst by Lila.Lila laughed it off; that was the only way she could survive. "Oh my gosh, I can't believe that we are meeting for the first time, and you already know all of my secrets," she said jokingly.Arietta's mouth opened and closed multiple times in horror. "I am so sorry," Arietta said.Lila had hoped that this girl would be a friend to her; that was what she needed, but now that things had gone like this, she was not sure if it was worth it."It's fin

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.
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life VULNERABLE
Gray nodded and then turned to Damien. "I have something to report sir"Damien looked up from his phone, he could not understand Lila's response for some reason it felt as if she was suddenly closed off. He did not understand how he was able to feel it but the feeling was there and he could not shake it off."Go on" Damien nodded switching off the screen and putting the phone on the table. "What is it?" he asked when it felt as if Gray was trying his best to gather his thoughts together."You asked me to keep tabs on Mr Voss and his assistant just reported that they are currently at the station but are not being allowed in because a serial killer broke lose in the statin""So he can't..." Damien trailed off with his eyebrows knitting together, he looked to Gray hoping that he would tell him that it was not what he thought and all was well. "Is Lila?""Yes sir, she was already in the station before the incident"Damien stood up, his heart broke at the news. He had been against her goin
Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life SERIALLY
Lila stared at the screen; she knew that she should not pick up but her heart was doing a number on her. She pressed her lips together and watched the phone screen go off after the call ended but almost immediately his call came in again. How was she supposed to ignore his calls after what happened between them last night?The call stopped and then a message came in. "Are you busy? Should I call later? Is now not a good time?" The messages poured in and she read them in her head; she could hear him saying it to her.She slid her hand across to open up the chat; all she wanted to do was to tell him about what was going on but how could she? She took a deep breath and replied, "Yes, I am; let us talk later." She pulled together all of her willpower and sent the message out. It was lacking but that will do for now.She knew he would be confused with her reply and would want to reach out again; she heard commotion outside but she thought nothing of it; after all, this was a station and it
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. His e
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
