Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life OPEN BRUISES
"We can finally meet," Joseph said as they settled down in Lila's room. They had been planning to meet all week, and it was finally the weekend, and they were in Lila's room on a Friday night, ready to d******d each other's lives for the party. "Do you think a few hours is enough to get us through ten years worth of absence?" Lila asked as she sat down in bed beside him. "I definitely know that it is not enough time, but we have to try. I have a luncheon I have to attend tomorrow. I am deeply uninterested in it, but I have to go anyway," Joseph said in the most uninterested tone. "It must be difficult fighting with your brother for a spot,” Lila said sadly. She could into imagine having to have fought her brother for the chairman position. She might have given up so he could have it. "It is exhausting, and I do not want to do it, but my dad keeps insisting that this is the only way that the person who ends up with the company would value it and do all within their power to keep it,

Lila watched Joseph dance so well on the dance floor. She had never seen this side of him because they had never been to the club together before she left home. He was such an animal on the dance floor and it was surprising to watch. She watched him take rough steps as he pushed through the crowd and finally stopped at her table. "I did not bring you here for that" he said panting as he took a bottle of water from their table and chugged it down. "What then did you bring me for?" she screamed so her voice could somehow travel to him who was standing at a table away from him. "To get out of that chair and find a new man to get you over your old failed ass man" he said dropping the half drunk bottle to the table. "I'd rather observe from here" Lila said in a dismissing tone. Clubbing has never been an option for her so she did not know what to do. It was not because she hated clubbing but just because Gavin has constantly told her that good women were not found in clubs and bars

"Do you want to get out of here?" Zach asked her and she nodded. For other reasons apart from his facial beauty she found herself being drawn to him. She swallowed down and went back to her table to take up her bag which she now knew was dangerous to just keep by itself in a busy bar like this, Because no matter how sophisticated everyone looked there were still wannabes there who were there with the hopes of hooking up a rich man and changing the course of their life. Joseph has wished her luck and pushed her out of the bar even when she voiced concern that she might be a victim of kidnapping he said that no one would dare do that to do. She believes him and just went with this stranger who suggested that they go to a more quiet place so he could give her advise on ways to forget an ex. "Good luck with getting some" Joseph screamed as she walked away. She looked back to see him now fully engaged with his tongue down a woman's throat. She was going to ask him a ton of questions as so

"Talk to me," Damien said as he walked into the room. He had asked Gray to keep an eye on Lila and report everything to her so he knew what to do and when to do it."I have something to report on...""I know that Damien cut him off before he could finish the statement. "You called me and said that you have something to report to me on Lila Carson and that is why I am here," he tilted his head."Yes sir, so the men I put on her reported that she went to a bar last night and left with a strange man.""And what did they do?" Damien asked, sitting on the chair behind his table as he moved the chair forward."Nothing but it seemed from their interaction that she had picked up an interest in him.""A club huh?" Damien said, nodding his head as his eyes swayed from side to side. "I did not peg her as a club person. She seems to have many tricks up her sleeve," he added."I will update you with more information about her.""That is good," Damien said, biting his lips. None of the ways he had t

Lila walked down the stairs to go get breakfast. She received an official message from her brother stating that she needed to get ready to go for an event in the afternoon. When she got the mail from him, she laughed to herself because she could not understand why he had to send a letter instead of coming to knock on her door to give her the information.By the time she got to the kitchen, the staff were still on breakfast; she took this as an opportunity to talk with them and straighten out any misconception they might have against her. She did not want to be seen as a bad person as much as she tried to act like she did not care what they thought about her; deep down she knew that she cared too much."Hi," she said, feeling her throat tighten and the words being forced out of her mouth as she said it.The two young girls were startled, and they turned around to face her with horrified expressions on their faces. "Am I scary?" Lila asked as the words were forced out of her mouth; she

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

"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.
