Chapter 3
Lola,
“You are way out of the fucking line, Bob.”
My sweet angry lawyer said, making me stop my weird laugh and smile at her. I didn’t interact with her that much. Only the questions she asked me which were basically less than ten because the rest, she was informed by the family.
But I trust her. She was a friend of Jason's and he was a good friend of Ariel, so I was sure she was doing the best for me.
“You stupid. You cuffed her before making her change her clothes?”
The man called Bob snarled at the officer who cuffed me, making the man stop and stare at me in confusion, but then he pushed me forward harshly this time.
“She will change her clothes after she is processed in prison, so it doesn’t matter.”
The man said, sneering, and I swallowed harshly. I opened my mouth to ask them which prison I was sent to, but Isabella talked again, growling like an angry lioness.
“The judge had lost her fucking mind. We had an understanding, and she thought it was better if Lola was sent to a correction institution for a while after her first actual hearing, but all of a sudden this? She even refused to accept my request for bail.”
The woman said through gritted teeth and I frowned because this made me wonder. Did someone threaten the judge, or she was paid to do so?
“They want to get rid of me.”
I said in a croaked voice and Isabella’s head snapped harshly in my way that I heard it crack, then she nodded her head once.
“You got that, ha? But I swear that bitch was squeaky clean. I had her background checked, and I stood in front of her a couple of times. She can’t be bought or bribed, so what the fuck has happened in the last two weeks since I met her?”
She said while she tapped the floor with her Louis Vuitton high heels and this man called Bob frowned at the both of us.
“I don’t know what you are talking about it was a miracle she stayed here for this long anyway, the only thing I know is that she must be cleared out of here before noon and admitted to her next home where she might spend her sentence there.”
The disgusting man said, making my lawyer huff and giving him a disgusted look before she turned around and gave me her entire attention.
“I want you to stay strong, never show any signs of weakness. If anyone tried to get to you, get to them first. Don’t be anyone’s bitch, Lola. Never be weak, even if you are down on the floor bleeding and taking your last breath. This prison is like an ocean full of sharks that sniff wounded and hurt small fishes and feed on them. Do you understand me?”
The woman said harshly and when I kept staring at her silently; she snarled and slapped my right cheek harshly so that I tasted blood, but then I nodded my head and she hugged me even though the people around us didn’t like it.
“When I got the news yesterday, I made a few calls. Two correction officers and some inmates there owe me and I told them about you so you won't be alone and someone will always have your back, so don’t worry. Stay strong, cariño.” ‘Sweetheart.’
When she pushed me away and stared me in the eyes and I nodded my head quickly in order not to get another slap. She has a firm hand.
After she gave me another one firm look, she let me go, and I was pushed out of my cell which has been my home for almost two months now.
Everything else was like a blur. I was processed out of the police station and pushed inside a big white van. I didn’t even have the time to check what was written on its side.
I saw a small red car following us and for a moment I thought I saw Michael driving it, but when I tried to get a clear view from the small window in the van, I was pushed back to my seat.
We made one more stop and four more women got inside, Some of them were cuffed to the van by their hands and feet and they kept sneering at me during the ride.
I kept to myself most of the time, thinking about this huge change and Isabella’s words. I must be strong and never show weakness.
I was taught to take care of myself since I started to stand on my feet. I was prepared for anything life might throw at me, even though back then I knew that I was well protected.
Between my brother and him, no one would dare touch me. Even Gabriel held a special spot for me, even though he didn’t show it much.
He isn’t good at expressing his feelings and similar emotions.
The car stopped, and we were pushed out of it and inside the huge building and I inhaled deeply before we were pushed inside. I wanted to breathe in the clear, sweet free air before being locked up again.
“Welcome to Rikers Island correctional facility, where all your dreams come true.”
A female officer said, grinning, and the ones accompanying us laughed at her words, making her smirk.
“So boys what we have here, hmmm? Oooh, and here it is, ladies and gentlemen. The talk of the island recently.”
The woman said again as she read our files and my heart thudded inside of my chest harshly when she said those words in amusement because I knew that she meant me.
“Hmm, I think I give you one night before you would be torn apart. Inmates here were begging for new meat and I think you will satisfy them.”
The woman said, sneering in my face and I just stared at her blankly without any type of emotions showing on my face.
“Easy there, just sign the papers and let us go, then you can do whatever the fuck you want. I can’t be here listening to all of this shit you are saying.”
Bob said, making the woman turn around to grin at him. Then she signed the paper and whispered something, making him nod his head and leave.
But before he left, along with the other officer, they gave me a look that might pass as sympathy before they just rushed out of this hellhole.
“Now ladies, take off your clothes and open your arms wide for me.”
The woman said, licking her lips and I almost gagged because right now she looked like one of those rapists on the news.
But I took off my clothes along with the other women and stood up, fighting the urge to hide my bits and pieces.
The woman checked us one, then the other, and then she asked us to squat and cough, making me take a step back while the other women did as they were told.
“Do it, sweetheart, I need to check if you brought something to my prison or not. It is the procedure, I swear.”
I bit the inside of my mouth and was about to do what the CO asked the moment another male CO entered the small crowded room.
But I didn’t hesitate this time and just did it and the woman smirked as she went to the man who was standing by the door, holding something in his hand.
We were given a jumpsuit. Mine was red, different from the others, then we were pushed outside and made to walk deeper into the prison.
I thought that we would stay in some kind of room before we were sent to our cubes or rooms or whatever the fuck they were called, but no, we were assigned to our bunks right on.
The inmates with me were sent to their bunks and I had to walk for a while before we stopped in front of an opened cell.
“Here is your future and forever home, little sweet bean. I hope that our accommodation suits you and you hopefully would enjoy your stay with us.”
The woman said cackling, and I didn’t spare her a look as I walked inside my room like she called it and looked around.
There were four beds, two bunks on each side, a stainless steel toilet with a small sink above it, and that was it.
Nothing else in that damn cell, not even one of those steel mirrors or hangers or even a small table. It was entirely bare.
“Aww, look at how disappointed she is. Don’t worry, we will bring you someone to play with soon. I promise you won’t be alone for long. Diaz, finish up in here and come. We have a meeting.”
The female officer said, then she left us and I turned around to look at the other male officer who was following us silently.
He walked toward me slowly and I took a couple of steps back, hitting the wall, making him stop and then he sighed as he lowered himself slowly and put something on the floor.
“A small hairbrush, a bar of soap, a toothbrush, and some other necessities. Isabella asked me to give you that because the money in your commissary will take some time before it rings in your account. I will bring some other stuff by evening. I can’t walk around with them on me. My name is Diaz; if you need something, please ask me.”
The CO said, then he stood up, closing my cell and leaving me alone. My legs shook, and I just fell on my ass to the floor sobbing while I put my hand above my mouth to prevent any voice from coming out.
Everything that happened to me so far came crushing down on me and I felt like suffocating. At that moment, I truly understood that my life had ended.
Chapter 25Sergey,“We must get her out of there immediately. She can’t stay there longer. I don’t give a fuck if she would be a jail breaker or whatever the fuck it is. As long as she is with me, safe and sound. I will just take her away from here and no one will ever find us.”“Michael, we need to be more reasonable. We can actually use what happened to our advantage. Isabella will try to get her out of that place and be sent to somewhere else where we can look after her.”“No, brother, this has been going for too long and I have let you do whatever the fuck you wanted. This is the time for me to close that case once and for all. I will fucking end those fuckers. I will kill them all, their families, kids, and even their acquaintances. This is the only thing that will keep her safe.”“The factions won’t like this, Michael. They will kill us all. You must understand that we have rules we must follow.”“Fuck them. I don’t care about any fucking rules or people. You weren’t there seein
Chapter 24Lola,I have been paranoid since last night, and Michael’s words before he left didn’t help either.He told me to be careful and never be alone and try to be with Isis all the time, which was impossible. Yes, we meet when we eat or we have showers and stuff.But I can’t stick to her all the time, because even if I wanted to, CO bitch will not allow it. She has her eyes on us now and even a single breath is counted.Diaz told us that these were the warden’s orders, but I know that he was lying. Something was about to happen and the entire prison could feel it.Inmates have been tense and jumpy. Even the quiet ones who always kept to themselves were worried, feeling something was off, but they couldn’t pinpoint it.I told Isis about everything and she cursed the damn woman, but she told me to ignore everything even though I could see clearly that she was anxious herself.But when the first and second days went quietly, I just relaxed and thought that it was all in my head and
Chapter 23Michael,“Michael, what the fuck did you do, now?”Gabriel groaned in frustration the moment he saw me entering the house with Sergey, while Antonio followed us.I grinned at him and shook my head teasingly, even though I knew that this situation wasn’t funny and I should take it seriously.But honestly, the look on their faces was fucking hilarious, especially with Antonio following me closely as he looked around him, worried and in awe as well. Our mansion was a piece of art, and this was everyone’s reaction the moment they stepped inside.“Michael, seriously. I had to fuck your brother in order to let you out. And this is how you repay me? Who is this man and why does he look like he is about to faint and drool at the same time?”Ariel shouted at me and I ran to her and hugged her after I made her drop her hands that were on her hips. She huffed and tried to push me away, but I whined and hugged her tighter.“Damn you, Michael, if you were my kid, I would have slept on y
Chapter 22Michael,I checked my phone and found that I have been sitting there for almost an hour and the little shit didn’t show up.I looked around me feeling bored and impatient and not even the damn sex, strip shows and orgies caught my eye.I looked at Sergey, who was sitting beside me and had to put my hand above my mouth to hold my laughs. The man looked like he was seconds away from either throwing up or fainting.He seemed out of his element as he watched the busy people around us and I felt like an asshole, almost laughing at him.I followed his eyes and found him watching a couple laugh and whisper to each other as they watched something I couldn’t see.These two were the most normal things around here. I think it might be their first time and they wanted to try something new.The woman was sitting on the man’s lap and he had his arms wrapped around her waist and his head was lowered.He kept murmuring into her ears and she either nodded or giggled softly and he seemed ela
Chapter 21Lola,“Hey, my little fighter is here.”Isabella said, greeting me the moment I entered the small visiting room, then she sneered at CO Smith, who was accompanying me.“Wow, you two are really something. Both of you are fresh out of the Shu. I think our dear Lola here should search for another lawyer because you aren’t that good after all.”The bitch woman said grinning and my lawyer and I ignored both of them as I began to pace the small room, barely waiting for the CO to leave.I wanted to know how is my family doing and if Michael was okay or if everyone was lying to me. I had some news when I was in the hole, but Diaz might be lying.He said that he talked to Michael personally, but he might be saying that so I won’t be depressed and something happens to me. Last time when I lost my shit here, he freaked out.“And leave you alone? I can’t do that Suzan, you are my favorite CO in here. I really enjoy taking away your favorite inmates.”Isabella said sweetly, and the CO s
Chapter 20Michael,We sat silently watching the woman, who looked like shit but still seemed fierce.Lola’s lawyer Miss Javier was fresh out of prison and she was pissed and I wasn’t sure if it was because she was locked up for an entire month or something bad happened again.I haven’t seen Lola for a month now and since that kill attempt thirty days ago; I was forbidden from going out and I was forced to take a long vacation from work.I tried to talk to Gabriel, but he refused to listen, especially with everyone supporting his decision. I don’t give a fuck about work or not going out. I just wanted to visit Lola and make sure that she was ok.She must have been worried about me, especially after knowing about the accident, but I couldn’t visit her or even talk to her on the phone.The entire villa was in lockdown mood and all of us had to listen to my brother’s orders. The only thing that kept me in check was that the CO in prison told us that she was okay and still alive.“OK, be
