When Madine saw Tristan, she ran to the gate and begged for help. She wanted to be free. Her cellmate was making life difficult for her. She had lost a lot of blood because of them. Madine thought that she might die if she lasted any more days with them.

“I am here to set you free,” he said. Suddenly, he became her hero in shining armor.

Madine smiled. He had come to save her from the hands of the thugs in the cell.

“We too, boss!” The women shouted, and Moab and her other friends walked closer.

Alana held her breath, fear running up her spine. Tristan got closer and noticed the dried blood on Alana’s face.

“What happened to her?” He looked at Moab and her gang. They looked like thugs and terrorists.

“Did you do this to her?” Tristan took a step forward, and a harsh breath came out of him. Even the policemen wondered if Madine was his wife but they knew his wife.

“No…” They denied.

“She is the one that's crazy, she keeps hitting her head against the wall.” They lied.

“Right?”
