Note : Hey there my lovely readers, if you've reached this chapter, it means you're enjoying Ethan's and Damien story, this chapter is currently under review but it's going to be back to normal on Monday, thank you Elijah gave him a light punch on the shoulder. "From what I saw back inside, you're really not that naive kid anymore." Ethan’s face fell as the chaotic events in the hall rushed back into his mind. "Yeah... how could I be? I've dealt with too many betrayals to keep thinking like that, Elijah. I just didn't..." "You didn't expect it to come from someone so close, right?" Elijah finished for him. Ethan nodded quietly. "Exactly. I never expected it—not in a million years. Anastasia was always so kind to me, so supportive... What could have possibly made her turn into this?" "We'll probably never know," Elijah replied softly. "But that kind of betrayal? I've actually seen it before." Ethan furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Where?" "With you, Ethan," Elij
Elijah gave him a light punch on the shoulder. "From what I saw back inside, you're really not that naive kid anymore."Ethan’s face fell as the chaotic events in the hall rushed back into his mind.

I've actually seen it before."Ethan furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Where?""With you, Ethan," Elijah said, looking him in the eye. "When you denied the boss at that live press conference. I have never seen Damien so broken. He might not cry or show his sadness like ordinary people do, but he was completely destroyed by what you did
It was the woman's turn to look utterly bewildered. "How can you not know her? Think! Think very carefully, you have to know her! Please, I just need to know!" she pleaded, grabbing her own hair and tugging at it frantically as panic set in.Anastasia exchanged a wary glance with Linda. "I think this woman has completely lost her mind," she whispered, backing away until her spine hit the heavy cell bars.Linda nodded in agreement, but her inner blogger curiosity was already sparked. A mystery like this was too juicy to walk away from. Judging by the woman's age, even if there was a Sarah Blackwood in the family, she would be from an older generation, which explained why neither of them recognized the name offhand.Taking a brave step forward and drawing a deep breath, Linda looked the woman in the eyes. "I'll tell you about Sarah Blackwood."The woman, who had been muttering and pulling at her hair, froze. She lifted her head, her sharp, focused gaze locking onto Linda. "Really?" she
Linda snorted, her eyes flashing with anger. "I should be the one calling you a bitch, you traitor—"PAFF!Before Linda could finish her sentence, Anastasia’s palm struck her face with full force. The sound echoed loudly through the concrete cellblock.Across the hall, inmates in the opposite cells pressed against their bars, shouting and cheering. "Fight! We've got a fight!"Linda hadn't intended to start a physical brawl, but the sudden slap shattered her self-control. Infuriated, she lunged forward and delivered a stinging slap right back. "How dare you slap me!" she snarled, grabbing a fistful of Anastasia's braided hair. "I’m the one who should be tearing you apart! Have you forgotten how you humiliated me at your stupid party? What are you even doing here, you bitch?!"As Linda yanked her hair, pain shot through Anastasia's scalp. Realizing she lacked the raw strength to overpower Linda, Anastasia panicked and bit down hard on Linda's wrist."Argh! You absolute dog!" Linda gaspe
As Anastasia was getting dressed, she looked at herself in the dirty mirror. The glass was caked in dust and coated with slimy streaks she didn't even want to identify. Tears burst from her eyes, hot and bitter against her cheeks."How did I get here?" she muttered to herself, drowning in self-pity. "Someone of my caliber... locked up in prison with that animal of a warden. I need to get out of here."Even now, surrounded by the harsh reality of her downfall, she refused to acknowledge her own actions. She ignored the fact that leaking the video and trying to force herself on Damien had destroyed her life. Blinded by ego and resentment, she placed all the blame on Ethan, holding onto the conviction that he had stolen Damien from her.Finishing with her clothes, she sat down on a wooden bench, braiding her soft, silky hair into two long pigtails as her mind continued to race."I wonder where Dad is," she whispered, her anger rising. "He's probably frantic looking for me right now. It's
Anastasia was dragged out of the van by a female officer. As her feet hit the ground, she began to tremble uncontrollably. Brimfield Prison looked downright terrifying. Overgrown weeds choked the cracked concrete, and the front walls were covered in grime and scuffs.The moment they walked inside, a foul stench hit her nose. She scrunched her face in disgust. "What is that awful smell? Did something die in here?"Richmond glanced at her, a grim smirk touching his lips. "In a place like this, Ms. Banks, that’s usually the case."Anastasia’s eyes widened as the horrifying reality of her situation fully set in.She was led down a dimly lit hallway to a large changing room and handed a dingy orange prison uniform. It was stained and reeked faintly of urine.Disgusted, Anastasia turned to the warden on duty. "Excuse me, this uniform isn't suitable for me. It smells terrible—like urine."Without warning, the warden shoved her hard. Anastasia stumbled backward, slamming her shoulder against
The final bell of the day usually felt like a victory, but for Ethan, it sounded like a death toll. He walked toward the school exit, his stomach tied in knots. He had no idea how he was going to face Damien, let alone ask the man to tutor him. It felt like crawling back to a lion and asking it to
A small smile automatically appeared on Ethan’s face as he relaxed, the heavy thoughts of Damien and the photo finally fading into the back of his mind. He was surprised to see Kai standing there. "Oh, you're here?"Kai nodded. "Yes. I was exercising and needed to... release some stress, you know?
Ethan woke up late, his head groggy from the late-night gaming session Leo had forced him into. Leo reminded him so much of his younger brother, Norman; it had been a long time since Ethan had felt so... human.He rushed to freshen up and was driven to school. As he stepped out of the car, a crowd
Ethan spent the entire day drifting in and out of sleep. The silence of the mansion was a jarring luxury compared to the screaming halls of Metropolis Prison. He was grateful to Damien ,he knew Damien had saved him but the mystery of Damien’s agenda loomed over him like a shadow, he may be naive bu
