Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life STORM
Lila discovered that she had underestimated what Gavin could do; she knew that if she did not take care of him in front of everyone else in that environment, he was going to GP around, ruining her and that of her family. She pressed her lips together and watched him scream at the top of his voice. "She is an ex-convict," she knew that he was going to do something like that after she saw him walk up to the front. She was grateful that he showed how much of a scumbag he was because every single shred of feelings left in her body seemed to be flushed off immediately. She kept a smile on her face. "We need to say something about this," Oliver whispered to her with his head tilted. "What can I say?" She asked, biting the corner of her lip. The security guard had already reached the front of the stage and was ready to drag him away. "Wait!" Lila said stopping them; she was going to have him thrown out, but first, she had to put him in his place. Gavin looked up, and somehow he expected

"What was that in there?" Evangeline asked as they stood by the door; the security men had dragged them out of the hall and closed the door in their faces. "What was what?""Are you trying to claim that you have done nothing wrong even though you acted like a big fop in there?" "A big fool? Evangeline, it seems like I've been cutting you a lot of slack; why in his name would you think of talking to me like that?" Gavin roared.Evangeline closed the gap between them and held him by the collar. "How else do you want me to speak to you? You acted like a fool and got us kicked out, and for what reason?" she screamed. "I want to hear your reason," she demanded. "How can Lila be the heir to the Carson fortune?" he asked, pushing her hand off his collar. "Think of it? Does it make any sense to you?" "Why do you accept what makes sense? You are too lazy to know what makes sense and what does not; you should lick the floor if they tell you to do so." "Are you calling me a dog?" "You have

"Ughh!" Lila groaned with her head to the table. She had been coming to work the past few days, but nothing about it had been what she thought. "Why did I agree to come here?" she asked herself and shook her head. She raised her head and looked around. Why did she have this glamorous life, and yet she was so thrilled about it?She could see she was sad; it felt like she was not really doing what she wanted. The return of her son banked on this because he was supposed to return back to her if she did as Oliver said, and he had a pretty long list. She was stupidly supposed to understand everything about Ai, even though every time she sat in a meeting with them, all the things they said sounded foreign to her. The intercom on her table blinked a red light. She pressed the button and listened in. "Ms Carson?" The intercom buzzed to life. The young woman who seemed spirited and ready to work must be sad that she got stuck with a boss like her. "Yes?" she murmured, looking up at the ceili

"The simple and only reason is that I am your boss." "I heard from everyone that you are a terrible boss in that regard." "A terrible boss?" she scoffed. "You are quite bold." "And you are a woman." "And what does that have to do with anything?" "It has a lot to do with everything; if women learn that they are not supposed to try and compete with men, then the world would be a much better place for us all." Lila reeled with shock; she could only believe that the same man who had been so gentle and kind was the same one who was saying all these things and even worse to her face. She could not understand what was happening because, at the beginning of the conversation, she could have sworn that he wanted to ask her out, but now it seemed like he was dying to insult her. "What are you saying?" 'I just want to know the reason you think you are worthy enough to sit here in this office." "The reason?" she asked. She stood up from the sofa and went back to her chair behind the table

"So how did it go?" "I did what you asked. Are you saying that I can come back to the head office if this goes well?" Zach asked over the phone. "If all goes well, of course you can," Oliver said over the phone. "But Mr. Carson..." Zach wanted to give him a full update. "No buts," Oliver said, and the line dropped dead. Zach held his phone tightly in his hand as he thought of what to do. His mind was spinning, and he felt like going back in to tell Lila that he had only said all of those things because her brother had heard she was not doing her job. He was not sure if what he was doing was the right thing to do. His mind flashed back to the day before yesterday; he had just returned from his trip and got a call from the chairman's office. He thought it was about the transfer requests he had put in. He had been trying for months to transfer back to the headquarters after the wrongful deployment of a mess his boss had caused, but all the pleas fell on deaf ears. He felt especially

"I have to get him fired," Lila said, sitting behind her brother, who was making dinner for the first time since she arrived at the house. He had gotten home earlier than usual and then made his way to the kitchen. She paused, put her hand on her chin, and leaned forward on the counter that separated them. She wondered how much Arietta would love to see the sight in front of hers, even though she thought it was disturbing. She took her phone from her bag sitting beside her and took a picture, sending it to Arietta. She called, but Lila declined it and sent a text immediately. Why are you calling me? Is there something important you'd like to say? She knew very well the reason she was calling her. She wanted to get a feel for the situation. He is cooking? I have never seen him cook before. What is the occasion?That I can't seem to figure out. I keep telling him how Zach treated me at work today, and he has not turned to me in a full minute. I am coming over. You are coming over?

"Hi," Arietta stood by the door of the kitchen. She held her bag close to her knees with both hands clutching it. Oliver's ears perked, and he felt excited to see her. He wondered why he was refusing to let himself love and live life; it felt like he had a lot to do on his plate to be thinking of going on dates and marrying. He knew that marrying someone he did not love would relieve him of the responsibility of romance, and his only responsibility to her would be family responsibilities. As long as they have children, then everything will be fine. He bit his lips and forced himself not to turn back. "Hi," Lila said, waving with so much vigour. She motioned for her to come closer and sit beside her. Lila still did not know what her brother was cooking, and even though she asked a few times, all she got was a dead answer. Something he would say something as annoying as "a meal.""Woah, it smells delicious in here," Arietta muttered as she put her bag on the island and sat beside Lila

Oliver stepped into his room and sat on the bed. He had craved a one-pot meal, the kind he cooked while he cooked the meat all by himself and had rushed home to cook it. If he were a normal boy, then his evening would have ended with him getting complaints from girls about how good it tasted, but now even he did not know what magic he had created. After Arietta had stormed out, Lila had given him a disappointed look because she had not left and stayed to listen in on the conversation between them. He could not shake off how sad Arietta looked when she told him that their relationship was ending and that it was time for her to let go. "I hope we can avoid each other as much as we can to stop any awkwardness between us," she said before leaving. He could not believe her final words to him were those cruel things. He replayed the scene in his head, and even though his heart ached as if someone had thrust a spear through it, he was convincing himself that everything that had happened ha

Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life PROPOSED
"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.
