Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life PUT IN
Rain stretched in bed, she took her phone with sleep still in her eyes as she swiped up on her phone, she saw a ton of messages and wondered who could be sending her that much messages so early in the day. She muttered incoherent words to herself and scratched the side of her neck when a call came through the screen. She stared at the boldly written name on screen staring back at her. LILA CARSON. Since she resumed as the assistant to this woman she never understood what all other assistants faced because Lila was the most easy going woman, all she had to do was bring a cup of coffee book her lunch and dinner if she was going to have some and then drop her off after the day. Rain had not heard the reason Lila was calling but she felt a strange chill all over her body, it felt like everything was going to change once she picked up the call. She stared at the screen as the phone vibrated in her hand. She applied as a researcher to the Carson group but even for entry level jobs in th
Last Updated : 2024-12-22Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life COFFEE FOR THE DAY
Lila rushed down the stairs to the kitchen, she picked up two spots from the drawer and put it into the freezer part of the refrigerator. She got the coffee machine running as she stood by the side. She did not want to sit before she fell asleep, she had stayed awake all night reviewing some of the documents. At first everything looked like it had been written in a foreign language but after a while some of the terms began to make sense with a little help from the Internet. No matter how she studied the work she could not seem to get a hang of it. So when she felt like it was an okay time to speak over the phone with her assistant she called her up and asked her for help, they both had goals if they could scratch each other's back they would have their end results soon. She closed her eyes, the end part of her back resting on the edge of the counter as her mind replayed the entire events of yesterday. She had been shocked in more ways than one but since she was trying to grow

Oliver told his assistant to call Gavin to come to his office for a meeting. Gavin did not know what to feel when he got the message, he did not know what it could be that Oliver wanted to say that he asked to meet with him. Gavin wanted to defy the message and act as if he had not gotten it but Evangeline had said that he should go and hear what he had to say. Evangeline had told him to keep his head up high and act as if he had not done anything wrong after all, he had not said anything wrong. Lila was truly an ex-convict and it was unbelievable that someone like her would be a Carson. "Mr Carson would see you now" Oliver had been the one who asked to see him and yet when he arrived at the time for the meeting he discovered that he would have to wait to be called in. Gavin looked up rubbing his hands in his trouser, he was glad he had not worn any delicate colours that could stain. He stood up with a big breath out of his mouth and followed the assistant who had come to cal

Lila looked down at her ringing phone. She bit the corner of her lips in annoyance as she watched it ring. She did not want to pick it up, but she did not wish Damien to think she cared enough to play hard to get with him. She did not care that he had not reached out to her sister the night of the party and that she had intentionally built walls around herself to keep him out. She knew that the call could breed a different outcome with her, and she was not liking it. She swiped her finger across the screen and put the phone to her ears. "Hello," she murmured. "Hello?" His tone was not as friendly as she would have liked, but she did not mind; she ignored it and wondered why he sounded as if she were the one calling him and interrupting his busy schedule. "You called me," she replied, rolling her chair back and stepping out of it barefoot. She leaned her bottom to the edge of the table and stared at the wall behind her that had several glass parts by the side. She wanted to ask him

"What was that?" Sam asked with a frown on his face as Damien dropped the phone to the table. "You asked me to call her, and I did," he replied with a puzzled expression on her face, his eyebrow almost dispersed into his hairline. "And you did not get her to go on a date with you? I thought you had the game," Sam murmured. "You heard her; she is busy, and I am busy." "Busy doing what?" Sam asked, jumping off the sofa and walking to the table. "You came to me asking me to help you, and now I am helping you, but you do not seem as interested in it again." "You know that Amber's death anniversary is coming up; are you asking them to forget about it and just run to the woman who killed her?" "You are not running to her; you are carrying out your suoer devious plan, and there is nothing wrong with it; I am sure that Amber would be..." "There is no need for you to mention her name," Damien said grumpily. "My bad," Sam said, picking out things from the table and dropping them back as

Lila looked up when she heard a knock on the door. Her eyes caught the clock on the wall, and it was a bit later than she had been leaving work, but she was making up her mind to get up from the table until she was done with the material in hand, and she still had at least a few pages to go over. "Come in," she screamed just enough so whoever it was could hear it from the door. Rain popped her head in and was shocked to see her still comfortably seated in her seat, not ready to go yet. She took herself out of the door frame and closed it behind her. "Are you ready to go, ma'am?" Rain asked in a small voice as she walked to the table. "I would love to review the rest of this document before I go" she murmured without looking up. "Do you want to clock out already?" she asked taking a brief glance at her before dropping his head. "It is an hour after closing time," Rain murmured. "Yes, it is," Lila's voice did not sound worried. She spoke as though they were supposed to be there at

"Hurt? Who said anything about getting hurt?" Damien choked out after a solid minute. He had drawn blank and had not known what to say. He had thought hard, and the only thing he thought of saying was to refute what she had said. "At first no one talks about hutting the other, but as time goes on..." she trailed off as her mind wandered to Gavin. When she first met him, he never acted like he was going to be the monster he was today; he was the one always being loving to her, and even though it was clear to her when the relationship ended and when she was the one clinging on to him, she did not want to feel alone, so she held on as tightly as she could. She knew he was trying his best to get away from her and could not, sending her to jail was like his redemption. He could be free without the guilt of being the one to break it off. After she had been branded as the criminal he was now free to live his life without the label. "Why would you think that I would hurt you?" "I never sa
Last Updated : 2024-12-24Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life MEAL
Lila knew she had no choice but to allow him to have his way. If she ate the meal he brought, it would be easier for him to drive her out of the office. He had sent her assistant home, so she was not sure if there were others at the office or if she was alone with him. This was not the first time she was with him all by herself but for some reason, this time her heart seemed to beat faster and just by looking at him butterflies in her stomach were doing their job. She was sure that could do just one meal with him without losing her guard. "What did you bring?" she asked sitting on the sofa opposite him. She had chosen a single lone so that he could not join her on it. "Are you going to sit there?" he asked tilting his head. "Where else do you want me to sit?" she asked untying the plastic bag that was tied and taking out the disposable plates that the restaurants had used to pack up the meal. "You are sitting so far away as if we are in a business meeting; you should think at lea

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
