LEO CLARK
Clark’s POV"Mr. Leo Clark, you are found guilty by this court, and hereby sentenced to eight years in California State Prison, with an additional five years enhancement under California Penal Code Section 1203.065 — making your total sentence thirteen years without the possibility of parole."Those were the judge’s words thirteen years ago, when Victoria had accused me of rape. I thought everything was over. I thought time itself paused. But it didn’t. Not even my first night in prison gave me the shock I expected—nothing there felt like home.But now I’m out. And somehow, prison feels like the only real home I’ve ever known. At least there, you don't run into fake friends—or girls like Victoria. That girl is a real bitch. I won’t stop until I get revenge. Not because I’m broken, but because I need to go back—to my homies, my cell, my world.And my father? I don't even know how to go see him. It's been a long time, I wish I could get a little tip to probably transport myself back hom
ISABELLA SANTIAGO
Clark’s POVI poured soy sauce on my bread and nodded gently.“Yeah, I have been hurt so many times, and now?”. I sucked in a deep breath, then smiled “I've become numb. Is that why you’re sad? Someone broke your heart?” I questioned.“What?!” She looked up, drying her tears.“I said, is that why you’re sad, did someone break your heart?” I repeated. She gave me a strange look, then nodded.“Well, I don’t see you that way. If I did, you wouldn’t have helped me.” I glanced at my now-empty plate. “Can I get more bread, please?” She passed hers to me without a word.“I hate myself sometimes,” she muttered, gently drying her tears. “I get deceived. I see the signs… yet I keep going back.” She said, but I didn't seem to look at her. I only focused on my meal, and when I was finally done, I glanced at again, then calmly said,“Is it okay to lend me some cash?” .She looked at me shocked, then rolled her eyes.“I kind of need to get some decent clothes,” I added with a shrug.She took in a d
TWO NIGHT'S, ONE SHIFT
Clark's POVI kept staring at her—the tears that rolled, the little smile she tried to pretend with. The weariness in her face—I could… maybe, kind of feel her pain.“My un—cle—” she stuttered.“Your uncle? You mean that little dude is your uncle?” I mumbled, confused. But she smiled, then shook her head.“Not at all. My uncle sold me to him.”God! I was heartbroken. How could one’s uncle do something so evil like that?“Why?!” I let out confused, watching her eyes get clouded with tears again.“What else, if not for his selfish interest?” she cried, then paused. “Before I can get freed, I’ll have to pay seventy thousand dollars.”Our eyes met at the mention of that. I was mute, then her smile came.“Now that you’ve heard the story, can we now get inside?” she demanded, standing up from where she sat.“Sure,” I mumbled, still shocked, taking a step after her.Inside, I didn’t say a word to her. It was just like yesterday—we became strangers again. I’m sure she was worried. I didn’t ea
DEAL OR NO DEAL?
Clark's POV“Welcome to my home”. I said, smiling at her.“Your home?! But…”“I have an assignment and an offer for you”. I cut in, standing to go where she sat.“This is your new home, I can't protect you from afar, so from now on, you'll be living with us”. I said, then she adjusted from me.“My new home?!”. She exclaimed, confused, looking around the house like it was some creepy hole.“I can't, thanks for your help but I can't accept your offer”. She continued, almost sounding like Victoria. It made me flash back on memories with her.I still remember everything about that day, Victoria was drenched, then I offered her help, then she used this exact word “Thanks for your help, but I can't”. My intentions weren't to make her my girlfriend, but along the line, we fell in love or should I say, I fell in love with her.Then,I had already made up my mind to propose to Victoria, We courted for quite a while and I decided to propose, she wasn't aware, just me and my friends.I couldn't
Sister's Rivalry
Clark's POV“Now you are going to pretend like you don't know what I am talking about right? Well, news flash hubby, you've been caught in your shitty game”. Her voice was louder than thunder.I chuckled a little, then smiled at her.“I can unalive you, you know?” I mumbled, then she glanced at me with shock.Speechless, I could feel her bones breaking.“He sent me, and you both are going to do, just as I say, now get you shitty self downstairs and play wicked. You better not mess with me girl, or I'm going to have both of your fingers ripped off gradually”. I breathed out, then went to her, smiled and gave her a kiss on her forehead.“Now go down there Sweetheart and do just as I have commanded, else you won't be seeing both your Sis and your cute Emia”. I said, brushing her hair backwards.“I never told you my brother's name” She mumbled, frightened, slightly pulling away from me.“More reasons why you have to be scared of me”. I muttered, rubbed my hands together, then left the roo
Victoria moves in
Clark's POV“VICTORIA?!“ I spelled out with a slight grin.”Yes, Victoria. She mumbled, then directed her hands towards my couch.“Can you please sit?”. She demanded, then I smiled and went ahead to sit down.“What's her crime? Can I serve her punishment in place of her?“ She said, then I smiled again.“You do believe I'm working for your uncle, right?”. I said, but she remained still.“How do you expect me to free her and have you…”“I know you don't work for him. I don't even think you are working for anyone”. She snapped.Surprised, I began to nod slowly.“Quite impressive” I thought, then asked her to sit on the mattress, while facing me.“Why the sudden change of belief?”. I questioned, then she breathed out and mumbled.“I have observed you enough to notice you are not working for him. I know you are on a personal revenge on Victoria, what you want with me, is what I don't really know. But I'm even more certain, meeting me after Victoria was a complete coincidence”Her tone, th
