All Chapters of Lies Behind Bars: The Hidden Life: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

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

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

"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 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 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
