A pause, then an abrupt silence as she adjusted her chair and continued. “He's smart. He's strong. But there's so much he doesn't know. About what the reality is. I know what it's supposed to be. I know theoretically the correction systems. Like you go in correct, then you come out, like, corrected. You know, nobody knows what it's like to step outside of those gates. Corrected, and everything has changed. Then you have to wake up; no structure. No schedule. And you're on your own with all this ‘freedom’. You used to live in the correction centre." What the hell is she doing? Do soft words move a criminal?

"Only ten in existence? Even those with a net worth of billions might not have the privilege of owning them?!" After hearing those remarks, the woman who had peed herself earlier proceeded to pee herself again. She felt as though the neurons in her brain had short-circuited. Nevertheless, she still could not believe that a disheveled, hobo-like young man in worn-out clothes could have that much money.

I share a cell with three other women who are not very nice to me but twenty-five years to life is a long time to get to know each other, depending on how long they will be here. Orange has never been my colour but now it is the only colour I will have to wear for the longest time. I now have a schedule and I can’t do anything without being told. We are woken up at five in the morning for showers, then breakfast at seven and if you miss that, then you will get lunch at twelve and after that is dinner at six. We get time in the yard for sun after lunch but that is only for an hour and the rest of the time; we spend it inside.

Not Noah. * * * I sat overnight in that cell with four other women, two of them prostitutes and two in for drunk-and-disorderlys. When I told them what I was in for, suddenly none of them wanted anything to do with me. I guessed that murder was a little steep even for hookers and drunks. I kept to the edge of the bench, near the front of the cell. I couldn’t sleep the entire night, try as I might. With my head leaning against the cool cement wall, I wasn’t too uncomfortable; my mind just couldn’t wind down.

I merely nodded as she led me to a cell and I stepped inside and the bars were closed behind me. Looking around, I saw that there were three other women inside the cell, all of whom who looked like real thugs. Two of them were in their mid-twenties, while one looked to be in her mid-forty’s. The oldest stood at the end of the room, her hands stuffed in the pockets of her orange uniform. Her short, spiky hair was dyed black, and her eyes were lined with what looked like dark eyeliner. I couldn't help but wonder how she got that.

I logged into my social media accounts. On I*******m, I saw posts from old classmates. Most had moved on, college, careers, traveling. Serena stood out. She had been an influencer even back in high school. Her feed was filled with smiles, designer clothes, tropical vacations. She had lived her best years while I was rotting in a prison cell because of her lies. A tear rolled down my cheek. Could I ever move on? Could I be happy again? Make friends, go to parties, pretend everything was normal? Could I?

Tuesday Night. NYPD Detention Facility, Manhattan. The holding cell smelled of bleach, old sweat, and despair. Selene sat huddled in the corner of the metal bench, her knees pulled up to her chest. Her grey suit the one she had worn to court thinking she would walk out a free woman—was wrinkled and stained. Her hair was a matted mess, the elastic tie long gone. She wasn't the polished executive anymore. She was just Inmate 8940.

They were gathered at our old central table, laughing loudly at something Ethan was showing them on his phone, with Ginger sitting right at the center of the universe. I took my tray and walked all the way to the far corner of the cafeteria, sitting at a rusted, scratched-up table near the vending machines. It was the table where the outcasts sat, the place where you went when the social ecosystem of St. Jude’s decided you no longer existed. I sat alone, picking at a salad I had no appetite for, feeling the heavy weight of a hundred whispering eyes on me. 'Look at her. The fallen star. Serves her right.' I could practically hear the thoughts bouncing around the room.

Over breakfast actual good food, fresh fruit, coffee that didn't taste like industrial cleaning solution I started to feel more grounded in reality. This was my life now. Not a cell, not isolation, not counting down days. Just normal life. Family breakfasts. Children asking about homework. Von reading the news on his tablet. Normal. The news, of course, was all about me.

Chapter forty two: Hear my truth. I could not risk helping a wanted criminal with a heist. The only thing I had been stealing those days were hearts – metaphorically, of course. Need I mention that I'm too pretty to go to jail – and far too fabulous for a life of crime. I knew for sure that I was not cut out for life behind bars? I mean, orange may be the new black, but it's definitely not my color, darling. Plus, have you seen the food they serve in prison?
