Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life WEIGHTIER
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

"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

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

"You spent a very long time with that lady today," Joseph said as they sat down in the car. Joseph and Damien had come to this party together, but he had not seen his friend all night; every time he tried to approach him, he saw them together as if they were trying to tell the world that they were in a relationship."I only did what you asked me to do," Damien replied, closing his eyes and resting his head on the car headrest. "And her name is Lila, not that lady.""Oh, I see!" Joseph whispered. "You are on a first-name basis now and want to make me look like the bad person," he added."I am not trying to make you look like a bad person here; I just want you to get her name right.""Huh! What's the big deal about her name? You hate her," he murmured. He knew how much Damien could not stand the thought of this girl. She had killed his love, and now he had vowed to get back at her, but suddenly he wanted him to treat her with respect."Still, I feel like we should treat everyone like hu

"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,

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.
