FROZEN AT his spot, August’s eyes widened while staring at the paper he was holding.[DISAPPROVED.]It was written in big, capital letters like it was slapping him from the reality that he wouldn’t be able to escape this place as much as he wanted to. That he would spend his entire life in jail.His hands almost loosened their grip on the paper, until he let go of it, causing the paper to fall on the floor.“Aw, man! Too bad!” Bruce exclaimed before he chuckled. “You didn’t pass the parole? I wonder why?”Bruce’s voice was full of sarcasm and mockery. Suddenly, August realized the reason why he went this far to visit him— to make August see the difference between him and B

AMADEUS glanced at Rio, signaling him to do something about the CCTV camera inside the room. Rio nodded when he understood what Amadeus meant as he took something from his pocket— A memory card.That made August confused. His lips parted as his questioning look greeted Rio. However, Rio just made a thumbs up before he walked like a flash. He knew how to avoid being caught on camera, so he moved with pre-calculated steps until he was at the edge of the room. In one swift, he used the chair behind him and stepped on it. Finally, he placed the memory card inside the CCTV camera.It didn’t take a second before the camera shut down, only to work again after a few seconds. Earlier, the camera was blinking red, but now, it was the color green. Rio took a look at it again, and when he confirmed something,

CHARLES’ MIND suddenly went down memory lane. In the blink of an eye, he saw himself going back decades ago, standing in front of their master’s bedroom where Clementine was shouting while a midwife was instructing her some things.“You can do this, Clementine…” said Charles as he leaned on the wall, and gritted his teeth while preventing himself from crying.His heartbeat thumped drastically. It was a special day in his and Clementine's life, and as much as he wanted to accompany her with the pain, Clementine requested for him to stay outside until the end of the process.Inside the room, Clementine was holding tightly onto the bed sheet. There's a thick face towel on her mouth to prevent herself from biting onto her tongue.“Scream

‘SHIT, NO!’ Samantha reacted at the back of her mind. ‘Postpone everything except our wedding! I’ve been waiting for this for a long time!’She wanted to shout that to Jake, but she knew she couldn’t. For Jake, she’s a bitch who seduced his son. Even if that was true, Samantha still couldn’t help but get hurt every time he criticized her.“But father—”“Shut up or I may change my mind. I’m not talking to you,” Jake interrupted Samantha, who was about to disagree with his command. “I’ll… I’ll ask help from the Wellington family about this and ask if they can do something.”Bruce and Nicole, who was just silent while sitting on the couch, knew that Jake hated seeking help more than anyone else. However, despite how chaotic the situation was, Nicole couldn’t help but smile. Starting that day, when she brought her family’s name again, Jake wasn’t able to do everything he wanted that easily.If she decided to be weak as before, Jake would bring Bruce to his office again and do some things

SUDDENLY, fear crept onto August’s skin upon hearing George’s deadly question. There wasn't a hint of any emotions in his eyes except for coldness and intimidation. He gulped twice, wondering how people inside this prison could kill anyone just because they violated a rule.If he didn’t return the phone to Mill at that time, he would be the one who got killed by the police!“I’m kidding this time,” said George after a moment of silence. He was the only one who laughed while looking at August’s entertaining reactions, but August felt the opposite.‘Fuck that,’ were the words he wanted to say, but he decided to purse his lips instead. ‘I’m glad I’m going to get out of this place anytime soon. I don’t want to be here anymore with these crazy people.’“Don’t worry. I just want your cooperation. The Blackbell prison should maintain its name as the country’s most feared prison despite giving the proper justice,” George explained. His expression was softer this time. “I can trust you that
