As I sat in that cold cell, I was surrounded by the stench of sweat and desperation. The guy next to me, a burly man with a thick beard, kept trying to strike up a conversation.
"Hey, what's your story, friend?" he asked, eyeing me with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion.
I've been wrongly accused and imprisoned, torn away from my loved ones and forced to endure the harsh realities of life behind bars.
It was hard to want to relate with others.
I shrugged, not wanting to get into it. "Just a mistake, man. I didn't do what they say I did."
He chuckled, a deep rumble that made me want to roll my eyes.

RHONDA'S POVI walked into the living room, where Olivia was sitting on the couch, staring blankly at the TV. My mind immediately flashed back to what I had seen and the suspicion I had been having.I couldn't help but think back to when we first moved into this house. Olivia had seen Dante's picture on the mantle and had blushed, telling me that he was her crush in high school. I had thought nothing of it at the time, assuming it was just a harmless teenage infatuation.But now, seeing the way Olivia and Dante interacted, I couldn't help but wonder if there was more to it. I didn't want to believe it, though. They were step-siblings, after all. It was unlikely that they would develop romantic feelings for each other
