Novel & Cerita The Innocent Man Book

" You've done it." " Back in my reckless days?" " Oh, ye." He smiled some more. "I'm about ready to settle down. "If you're past your days of being reckless, how do you justify capturing an innocent bystander and holding her captive, for nine days now?" "Anyone I know?" "You're holding her in your arms." "Are you an innocent bystander?" He was no longer smiling and he'd made his eyes serious. "What else?" "You're the most beautiful woman in all the world. An alluring siren, who could charm the secrets from any ma."

"Oh, hey. Ms. Rodriguez assigned our new book for social studies. We're doing a unit on redemption and criminal justice." My stomach tightened. "What book?" "Some memoir by a guy who went to prison. 'The Monster I Was.' Have you heard of it?" Nova dropped the spatula. Elena looked up. "What? Is it bad or something?" I moved to look at her phone screen. There it was. The book cover with Darren's face—older, gentle, reformed. The face of a man who'd found peace. The face of the man who'd shot me. "Elena," I said carefully. "Who's the author?"

he said, “Take your little hero moment with Faith Porter. She might not have been directly involved in the money laundering her boss did for the Westies, but she sure as hell knew what she was getting into. The same guy had a wife and a kid at home, and she didn’t seem to mind playing the homewrecker. And had the balls to get her boyfriend bailed out of jail. Doesn’t sound like an innocent woman to me.” I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest. “Right, blame the woman. Classic. The guy cheats on his family, and you’re pinning the whole thing on her? Like she’s the one who made vows and broke them.” He leaned back, a lazy, smug grin tugging at his lips. “Oh, I’m not saying he’s not a piece o

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I wished I had spent more time thinking about the weight of his question and coming up with a response that wouldn’t get me killed. "No," he said without blinking, "this is where you tell me the truth." I took my time swallowing the first pill and my tears. "That man, what did he do to deserve what you did to him?" I needed him to tell me that the man hadn’t been just some random man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. That only bad people got killed by him and that girls like me didn’t get killed just because they witnessed a murder. His face hardened. "You assume that the man was blameless." This wasn’t a question. He had read what had b

It would be unwise to insist a guilty man was innocent but if there was a way to clear his name, to hide the evidence and make it seem as if he never had a hand in it, it would be preferable compared to admitting to the crime and trying to paint the victims as villains who deserved to die. Even if they did deserve to die, they were the Luna Queen’s people. This was a chance for her to tighten the nozzle she had put around his neck. If given a chance, she would bite down and not let go until he bled out. Even with proof that these men were indeed awful people, there was still the argument that it was not his place to do what he did and make their innocent families suffer in the dark, hoping f

He stood at the podium, opening to Chapter Twelve the section covering his arrest and the moment he realized Morrison had orchestrated everything. His voice was steady as he read: "The FBI agent placed the handcuffs on my wrists while my colleagues watched, their expressions ranging from shock to vindication. Some had always suspected I wasn't fully reformed. This seemed to confirm their worst assumptions. But I knew something they didn't: I was innocent. And innocence, I would learn, is not always sufficient defense against well-constructed lies." The room was silent. Blake continued reading through his bail hearing, the ankle monitor, the crushing weight of facing forty years. When he fini

Nina’s new acquaintance continued on. “You have to find a way to talk to the colonel first before all hell comes crashing down on you. The worst they could do to you is to put you in solitary confinement. And a day in the hellhole isn’t going to help you get out of here.” “Tell me, Anna, what do you will help me get out of here?” Nina’s tone of voice was as serious as it could be. “For starters, now that you’re inside the ob-lo, you should no longer entertain the idea that people will believe you when you say you are innocent. Remember, once inside the ob-lo, there is a deadline for innocence. And that deadline expires with your acceptance to your fate.”

I mutter, looking at my foot, which was hit by some sort of book. I lift my foot and give it a light massage with my hands before picking up the book. As I read its title, "FAREWELL TO HUMANITY," I remember the events: mountain, rock, handsome man, fainting, handsome man, book, handsome man... Yeah, lots of events. I'm not doing well; I barely left home and I've already gotten myself into trouble, cursed mountain. Still lost in recent events, I run my finger over the couple on the book's cover, and for some reason, Deniel's image comes to mind, causing a small (very small) smile to form on my lips. He's so handsome and masculine.

Adam looked at me with concern. " I am nervous, " I admitted honestly. " What happened? I bored you with my story while you wanted something from me." " You did not bore me. Actually, you told me everything I needed to know." Adam Cleaveland glanced at me, this time with an interest. " Do you know the Brown family? I would have never guessed. But what do you have to do with that?" " The woman which you locked in the cell is innocent. I can assure you about that."
