All Chapters of Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"And what do you intend to gain out of this? You are already rich and have all you can want so what do you think a poor girl like myself can give to you?" Lila wanted to sound helpless because she did not want to be in debt to him in any way. She just wished he would help her so she could repay and then they would part ways.Of course, she knew that, asking him to give a good report to her brother just so she could meet with the Amber Voss family. She knew that as soon as she met them, she would have to try and get him out of her life. She was not interested in getting married, even though she knew this was not something she would escape. Her simple plan was to stall as much as she could."I do not have anything in mind of now; maybe later something would come up and I might need your help," he said and she could not disagree with that. There might come a day when he would need her to do some bizarre thing."Agreed, I guess," she said in an unsure voice."You sound like you are alread

"Evangeline!" Gavin said as he walked into the house. He took a quick look around and briskly walked into the backyard, where the outdoor pool was. She had made sure to turn the backyard into a personal pool for herself and spent almost all day lounging around there as long as she was not rushing to go shopping. He turned and entered the house and walked to one of the rooms inside, where she had changed to an indoor cinema. She had told him that she hated going to a public cinema, so she needed to have one at home to watch movies anytime she wanted. Evangeline," he said, opening the door and peeping inside only to be met with silence and darkness. He sighed as he wondered if she had ever used the cinema or if it was just a waste of money. He climbed the stairs and stopped by the door of the room they shared. He held the doorknob ready to get into an argument with them because there was possibly no way that this would not end in an argument. "Evangeline!" he said in a high-toned voice

"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,

"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

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
