Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life BLINKING RED LIGHTS
"You are very impossible!" Evangeline screamed as they walked into the house. She had been holding herself back all through the ride back home. She did not want to argue with him at the party or in front of the driver with them so she was going to do it at home."What are you on and on about?" Gavin asked, stopping in his tracks after hearing his wife scream at him as soon as the door closed."What am I on and on about?" she asked, dropping her bag to the floor in annoyance. Gavin could see that she was angry at him because she cherished her designers too much to ever think of dropping them on the bare floor. The next thing she did was let him know that she was really angry. She began taking off her jewellery.Evangeline was so angry at him; she had been by his side all night and just stepped away for a minute, and he ran back to his ex like he was a lost puppy being drawn to its owner. "How dare you try to humiliate me like that?" she asked, throwing down her golden earrings to the g

"Do you have to make me go to church?" Lila groaned as they sat in the car. She could see the top of the church come up in view. She closed her eyes and wondered why her brother was being so adamant about getting her to church. If he were a religious person, then he should remain that way; why did he need to force her to come as well?"Don't you want to repent of all your life errors?" he asked."With the way you speak, one would think you are the most holy man on earth," she murmured."Are you trying to say that I am not?""I do hope that was just some horribly bad joke," she said, turning to him with daggers in her eyes and shooting at him."I have a gift for you, and we can talk to them after the service.""Talk to them?" she asked, whipping her head back to him. "Are you going to make me do some silly things again? How many more things do I need to do for you to just let me be?" she murmured."When you came back to live here, you said you were going to do whatever I asked of you,

Lila could not believe that her brother had put her in the position and that she had agreed to go out with this woman she was meeting for the first time. Rosa had gone on and on about how much fun they were going to have, even though Lila highly doubted she could have fun with an old woman."Why the hell would hook me up with an old woman?" Lila asked as their car pulled away from the church, merging onto the road."Trust me, you would be grateful to me for doing this for you.""Grateful that you are linking me up with a strange old woman.""Trust me," Oliver said, and she sighed. "Moreover, Rosa is such a sweetheart; I am sure you would have a blast with her."Do I have a choice?" Lila groaned. Her mom suddenly came to mind; she had not seen her in ten years, and even now that she was back at the house, she was not going to see her as well. They knew that their mother was alive and well because she sent a letter to them with a postcard every month.It had been years since she got the

Lila got out of the flashy car that her brother had asked her to take out. He told her that she would need to begin to establish herself in society so that people would become curious about her. The truth was that if she did it right, the price of their stocks could go up very drastically, and that was what he wanted. They were on top, but he desperately wanted to be in first position; that was the only way he could remain at the top.Lila walked slowly into the restaurant; she was supposed to meet with Arietta for lunch at a random diner that she was comfortable with, but Oliver had overturned all of her plans. When she woke up that morning, there was a makeup artist, a hairstylist, and a clothes stylist to help her get ready."All this fussy for lunch with your girlfriend?" At that point, Lila wished that she had agreed with Arietta's earlier suggestion of having lunch at home. That way, her brother would not make such a fuss about anything. She sighed when he did not say anything i

Arietta and Lila had a nice lunch, and Lila was pretty sure that she would make the news. She saw Arietta out and then came up to meet with Zach. The truth was that they had nothing to catch up on, but she wanted to talk to him. He was supposed to be the normality she would have in recent times."So sorry I am late""It's no worry; a man has got to do what a man has to do," she said with a smile lingering on her face."Oh, I see you've got a sense of humour," he said, and she shook her head."Oh no, I would not dare call this that; I am just a girl," she said, raising her shoulders a bit."I would have invited you for a late lunch, but you just ate so..." he trailed off as his mind spun on activities that they could do together."Do you have to go back to work?" She asked, looking around. He was not popular like any of the other CEOs, which meant he was either an office worker or someone who owned a start-up. The restaurant was pretty much empty, as everyone who had come in to have an

"What are you doing today?" Oliver asked as his sister sat by the table for breakfast. "Thanks to you, I have to go to meet that old woman," Lila said, taking up the toast from the pile and taking a bite from it."Old woman?""The woman from the church," she said before taking another bite from it. "This is really good," she murmured with her mouth full. "Can you please for once at like your class?" he asked, rolling his eyes. She dropped the tray to the plate in front of her, crossed her legs under the table, and turned up her nose. "I am sorry, did you want me to act snobbish?" she asked, trying to fake an accent. "No, I do not want you to act snobbish or do a terrible accent impression. I want you not to talk while you have food in your mouth," he said. She wondered how hard it was for him to take a sarcastic joke; she had made sure to sound out her sarcasm so he could know what she meant, but suddenly he was dense. "I wonder how the company survives," she muttered before taki

"You look like someone who is in urgent need of soem boozze and hoe," Daniel said as he sat down to Gavin's table at the bar. Evangeline had finally taken off her yes from him, and he was all set to meet up with his friends regularly. If he was being honest, marrying her was not what he thought he would like. If he had gotten married to Lila instead, he was sure that he would have been free to do whatever he wanted, but with her, she was trying her best to cage him down. "Maybe that is what I need—some alcohol to numb my brain and a woman to make me feel like a man again." Gavin repied his eyes, scouring the dance floor of people moving to the beat. "Then I would take it upon myself to get that for you," Daniel offered."You do not have to do such a thing," Gavin told his friend before he got out of his seat. "So you are saying that you would rather look like a monk at a place like this?""Do you want me to turn up dead?" Gavin asked, taking up his glass and chuging it down. He was

"Where are you?" Damien asked over the phone. "Mr. Damien Calloway, don't you think you are obsessed with me considering that we are in a fake relationship?" She asked over the phone. She had waited all afternoon for Rosa's call, but she did not get one, and since she did not have her number, she could not call to check up on the woman; her brother was being a pain and was not getting her calls. All she could do was pray that the woman was all right. If she had known that all she would have been doing all day was to lay down and not do anything, she would not have turned down Zach's invitation to lunch."Fake relationship?" He gasped as if she were making up things, and he did not know what she meant when they had agreed on it together. "What do you want?" she asked, ignoring his fake gasp and pressing her lip into a thin line. "I want to treat you to dinner, so what do you say?" he asked, and she shook her head. She most especially did not want to see him; his presence was too ov

"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.
