THE police officer's words shocked August, causing him to frown. He stared at the officer with confusion, but he didn't explain further. Instead, he moved his hands, calling August to walk beside him.'Why is he calling me?' asked August at the back of his mind. He bit his lower lip, anxious that he might have done something wrong.August couldn't afford to mess up, especially not this time! He planned to survive and escape from this place. As he nodded subtly while walking in front, he just hoped that everything would be alright.His heartbeat drastically increased as he stopped beside the police officer, and in front of everyone. Like him, he could also see the confusion in his co- prisoner's eyes. It was proof that his speculation earlier that this thing happens rarely was true.Still, he wondered what the commotion was all about.The police officer placed his hand on August’s arm, causing him to raise a brow. “This is sudden, but the warden wanted to announce this instant.”The se
AMADEUS pinned August on the wall in one swift. His lower body prevented August from moving, his left hand was on the side of his head, while his other hand was on his neck, choking him.“I killed him,” Amadeus muttered in an authoritative tone. He gritted his teeth, containing his anger. “Why would you open that topic in front of me, huh? Do you have a death wish?”As Amadeus asked that question, his hand gave more force onto his neck. It made August feel hard to breathe, but he didn’t even budge. He trusted that Amadeus wouldn’t kill him, although his eyes said otherwise.Still, August didn’t feel any kind of fear in his heart.“I’m just curious…” August gasped for air before smirking. “Why would
THE collision between the two cars made a huge impact. Amadeus found his car spinning twice before he hit one of the trees, which protected his car from sliding down.“Ugh!” Amadeus groaned when his body hit the car door.It made him dizzy in an instant, but he still found the energy to get out of his car, although he was trembling. The coldness of the rain and the blood flowing out of his head made him shiver.Amadeus needed to check whether the other driver was still alive or not. Like his car, the other car wasn’t in good condition, either. It was damaged, and his body trembled while looking at the car.He slowly walked towards the driver’s seat and tried to open the car door, but it was locked. It seemed like something inside was prevent
“WE'LL take this,” Bruce told the saleslady as he pointed at the limited edition bag Samantha told him that she wanted. “Wrap it nicely, okay?”“Yes, sir.” The saleslady nodded before she went to the wrapping station and gave the bag to one of their employees.They were in the same store where August humiliated him before. By doing this, also buying a limited edition bag for Samantha, he could feel like he had given back what August did to him before.‘You'll never be able to embarrass me in front of everyone again, Fordman,’ said Bruce as he showed a cocky smile. ‘Because I took everything already from you.’“I know I have said this countless times already, but this is so nice…” Samantha muttered while roaming her eyes at the store. “This is the life we deserve.”“And we could still get more,” Bruce muttered as his hands landed on Samantha's cheek. “I promise you. After our wedding, we'll be in the top ten highest-ranking families in town.”Bruce leaned onto Samantha to kiss her, but
SILENCE filled the whole place as confusion became evident on the prisoners' faces. They nodded, even though their minds were muffled.The man in front of them was Francis Wellington, and of course, everyone knew him. That was why they couldn't believe that such a wealthy man like Francis would do volunteer work at Blackbell prison.“It's been my first time in the Blackbell prison,” Francis informed them in a serious tone.He got everyone's silence in response.Despite it being his first time, Francis smiled confidently. “I hope everything will go smoothly while I'm here.”This time, he ran his fingers through his hair, intimidating everyone with his presence.After his introduction, the prison guard explained what the event would be all about. Aside from the general check-up, there would be a medical treatment, and the giving of vitaminsAs the prison guard spoke for a long time, Francis, on the other hand, never left his gaze on August. August did the same way, not planning to cut t
THE SHOCK was an understatement for what August felt as his eyes flickered on the area. It was a hot mess, and everything was in chaos.The prison guards looked troubled as they tried to pull the inmates away from each other, but it wouldn’t suffice as the prisoners wanted to take away the vitamins from each other.All of them looked desperate on taking that bottle, as their whole life depended on it. It made August’s brows furrow.‘I just left for a few hours,’ said August at the back of his mind. ‘What the hell happened here?’“August!”Suddenly, someone called August from behind. As he turned his direction on his back, he met Sergio’s gaze, waving his hands and asking August to come at them.“What happened here?” asked August as soon as he went to his roommates’ place. They were at the edge of the court to avoid the prisoners in rage. “What’s with the commotion?”“They suddenly became like that after a few minutes. It must be because of this,” Sergio answered and raised his hand wh
AUGUST THOUGHT that the blood came from his body at first, but his brows furrowed as he didn't feel any pain.His gaze moved in front of him, only to see Amadeus wince and muttered a curse repeatedly while holding his stomach.“Damn you, fucker,” Amadeus mumbled in an irritated tone. In one push, he was able to pin the opponent into the wall.Amadeus made the man in front of his knock out with just one kick. He smirked after that, but it didn't hide the fact that his stomach hurt badly because of his wound.“Boss!” August called as he already recovered from the shock. “Does it hurt so bad? I should take you… to the…”Clinic.But August couldn't mutter that anymore.Suddenly, August wasn't able to speak properly. It was because of the white smoke that continued to scatter from the ceiling. Amadeus felt the same thing, and before they knew it, they stumbled on the floor, unconscious.Mill, who was hiding in another empty room, thought that he was safe from anyone else's rage. He didn't
WITHOUT hesitation, August clicked the red button, ending the call. He composed himself in a short amount of time before turning his direction to Amadeus.“Why aren’t you resting as the doctor told you to?” August asked, diverting the topic onto something else. “It would be bad for your wound to continue moving—”“Stop saying shits, August,” Amadeus interrupted as he raised a brow. “That technique will not be effective on me.”In one swift, Amadeus attempted to take the cell phone August was holding in his right hand. However, due to his fast reflexes, he was able to jump sideward and stand up properly, staying away from Amadeus.‘He’s fast…’ said Amadeus at the back of his mind. Although his expressions were cold, he was amazed at August. ‘If only he had a great amount of focus and control, he’ll be undefeatable.’But August couldn’t control his emotions, especially when it was too overwhelming. Amadeus only shakes his head in disappointment, thinking that August’s skill would be a
