The Innocent Man Book Novels & Stories

************** REED ALCATRAZ Okay, what the fuck was going on? First, a damsel in distress barged in on us. A 'sexy' damsel, if I was being fucking honest. And now, a jackass with a knife? What the fuck was up with Denver people? Weren't they taught how to knock on the fucking door?! "What you got behind you?" Rhys asked the intruder, standing firmly to provide some kind of coverage over the girl that had run behind him. "No–none of your fucking business," The man stuttered, eyes flared up. This was clearly dutch courage. He was fucking high on some shit. I should know. We fucking deal on those shit. We own them. We run them.

He growled, his voice low and menacing. "I'm sorry," she cried, shaking her head in despair. "Hurt me instead. She didn't want to do it. She's innocent. Hurt me instead." I stepped forward to confront the heartless man, ready to accept any consequences to protect these two innocent souls who had tried to save me. "Yet there's no better justice for an innocent man than death." His voice was frigid as he fixed his emotionless gaze on Amelia, who trembled behind me. "Take me instead." With a surge of fear and desperation, I pleaded on her behalf. "I made her do it. I begged her, even though you warned me, but I broke your rules. Take me." Perhaps that would capture his attention.

I'm the only clueless one in this room. "Especially not you, little nurse," he continued. "You see, I can make people disappear. Even the police won't find you. You'll spend the rest of your life here with me, want to make a bet?." My heart sank. I felt trapped, caught in a nightmare. Dr. Danny voice was barely audible. "Melanie, please..." The mysterious man's gaze locked onto mine. "So, will you cooperate?" I swallowed hard, weighing my options. Refuse and risk imprisonment, or comply and become an accomplice to murder? Either way, I was trapped.

She barely stood there and apologized while looking down, was he really a bad guy? He had a good physique but he looked kinda scary with that look. And I needed time to think clearly. Finally I've escaped that prostitute woman, now I need to get home as soon as possible before this man lay his hands on me. Once I'll get home, everything will be fine. He won't be able to take me back as I'll compensate him with all the money he wants and my parents will protect me too. Just as I was overthinking my thoughts, I picked up the book from the bedside table and started reading it. It was kind of a novel about a murderous tragedy.

I took a sip of coffee, which burned as it went down my throat. "What was in that damn pussy for you to get involved with that crazy woman?" Theo placed both hands on the table and gave me an inquisitive look. "Donatella is one of many mistakes I've made in my life. I don't think any of us are immune to those errors," I said thoughtfully. I didn't want to dwell on what I had already done, and because of that woman, the more I struggled against the images, the more they took over my mind.

My eyes lit up in horror. "Please, your highness I am innocent. I didn’t do it; I have been set up,” I said as tears fell from my eyes. How could I want to kill Michael when he was just about the only friend that I had? Someone was behind this. "Innocent?—he brought something out of a book—then explain this?” He asked me. I stared at the book like I was some idiot until I recognized it as the book I had gifted Michael. I was taking longer to speak, and that book was brought to me.

Am I falling for him! No...Never! I can't love this man. I can't love a person who has humiliated me that much. I can't love a person who has taken advantage of my helpless situation. I am just waiting for that day when Asif will be fine and Adeel bhaiya will be proven innocent. After that, I will be freed from all those humiliating situations. I didn't think anything further and entered the class. I sat beside Simran and she smiled at me. I smiled back.

Miho stared at the fired chips on the table before her. “They’ve got no poison” said the strange man while moving his chair backwards and forward. “Do you want me to eat first?” Miho didn’t say a word as she kept her eyes on the strange man. The strange man picked one of the chips and ate it. “You see?” he asked. Miho slowly started eating. “Nice right?” asked the strange man staring at the young woman before him who had her eyes close when biting on the chips.

His jaw tightened as he spoke, making no attempt to conceal the fury burning beneath his now-calm exterior. "The woman who sold my brother to my enemies." His words stabbed between her ribs. Nora kept her gaze down, forcing herself not to react. But the mention of Cain, a man she'd taken the blame for killing yet had never seen in her life, was almost too much to take in. She was the last person capable of harming anyone, and the accusation cut deep. The unfairness was grave but it was all she had ever known. She had no room for weakness. Not here.

He became silent, confirming her words, and her heart clenched, seeing a new perspective for the first time in over two years: "You used me to send an innocent man to prison, Anthony Chester. Are you going to deny it?" He released a long sigh, "It's not as black and white as you think, Lydia." "You used me to set up an innocent man; that's as black and white as it needs to be." She bit out. She had hated Jayden White for months now, believing a lie that he was a monster who escaped the justice he deserved when, all the while, he had been the innocent one, jailed by monsters in human skin who used her. Jayden White had every right to be furious; he had every right to want to harm her and see
