Prologue Arlene's POV “Miss Arlene Rhodes, you have been found guilty for the second degree attempted murder of Mr. Martins and illegal possession of firearms. You are hereby sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment.” The Chief Judge declared, striking his gavel with so much ferocity.“All rise!” The court clerk announced, signalling the end of this court session.My eyes scanned through the crowd till it landed on my parents, sister and my boyfriend Tristan. I had half expected them to believe me when I told them that this whole thing was a misunderstanding. I was being framed for this, but the looks of disgrace and disgust on their faces said it all.“Please, I didn't do this…” I whispered, my voice barely holding together. “I’m not a monster.”But the silence that followed was louder than any accusation.They had already decided who I was. I stopped struggling because I finally understood. This wasn’t just a mistake… I had been set up. The guards dragged me as I trudged along look

Arlene's POV That whole night, I stared blankly at the ceiling. Memories flowed in and out, of the good times I had spent with Tristan, when we first met, our first kiss. We had been dating for three years and he just threw it all away in one moment.I was too tired to cry and my head ached from all the events so far. I was too weak to even defend myself or oppose anyone. The moment they all abandoned me, something in me died.Veronica came by later the next morning, I stared at her blankly while she faked concern.“How have you been? How is life in prison?” She asked.“Why? What exactly did I do to deserve this?” I asked, my voice laced with bitterness.“Oh…nothing. I just needed you out of my way.” Veronica pointed out, folding her arms on her chest.“I have never done anything to bring your downfall, why did you choose this?”“Because I need your inheritance! I can't watch you take over Dad's company while I work under you.” She spat.“But I had no intentions of taking over. I kne

Arlene's POV My chest was still rising and falling heavily long after I escaped from Simone's room. I leaned against the wall and pressed a hand to my chest."What is wrong with him?" I asked.Judith sighed, "I told you to leave when he asked.""You didn't tell me he throws knives at people when they disobey him.""He rarely does that." She rubbed her forehead while I just stared at her, wondering if this was supposed to be an excuse."So that is supposed to make me feel better?"For the first time, she smiled, then said,“I'm deeply sorry you had to experience that, Ma'am.”“I'm getting out of here, this instant!” I hurried down the stairs, past the long hallway while Judith hurried behind.“Ma'am, hold on. You're in the wrong way…” she tried to grab my arm but I yanked it off.“I don't care! I must leave this place at once.” “ But that's not the way to the exit, Ma'am.” I paused in my steps, looking around and it really didn't feel like the way we took earlier.“Oh…please lead th

Simone's POV The first thing I noticed when I woke up that morning was the pounding headache sitting stubbornly behind my eyes. I stayed still for a while, staring at the ceiling as I tried to gather the scattered pieces of my memory. It wasn't unusual for me to wake up feeling exhausted after another restless night, but today felt...different somehow. I couldn't explain why, yet something in my room felt out of place.Someone had been inside my room.I sat upright immediately, ignoring the ache in my shoulders. Closing my eyes, I searched my memory again, hoping something from last night would return.I remembered someone calling my name over and over again.Then I remembered warmth. Someone had been holding my hand. The memory disappeared as quickly as it came, leaving me irritated.I pressed my fingers against my forehead before raising my voice.“Judith!”Barely a minute later, the bedroom door opened and Judith hurried inside.“Good morning, Master.”“Did someone enter my room

Arlene's POV After I left Simone's room that evening, I went back to mine and took a quick nap. I hadn't realized how tired I was until my head touched the pillow, and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.I woke up a few hours later, feeling hungry.I was sitting in front of the mirror and combing my hair when I heard a quiet knock on my door.Before I could answer, the door opened slightly and Judith poked her head inside."You didn't come down for dinner.""I was asleep, but I'm really hungry now," I replied."I'll send one of the servants to bring some snacks for you."Judith was about to leave when I called out to her."He knows."She stopped and turned to me."Knows what?""Simone knows I was in his room yesterday."Judith stared at me for a moment before her expression changed."Oh."I folded my arms across my chest."Only one person could have informed him."She sighed."I apologize. He questioned me sternly, and I couldn't afford to lie to him. The Master hates being lied t
