The smell of those prison walls was familiar. Bruce had definitely perceived that before. The walls smelt of betrayal!
“Fuck! Here we go again. Thrown in prison just like my father who did nothing wrong.” Bruce couldn't believe Cassie and her father would do such a thing to him. He'd always known they really didn't love or care for him, but he didn't know their hearts were filled with so much evil, so much darkness that they would frame him up, send him to prison just to get rid of him. “I swear to God I'm gonna make them pay for everything they've done to me!” It was already one week since Bruce had been in prison and he found himself trying so hard to hold in his tears as he remembered the day Cassie walked in to see him behind bars, but only to present the divorce papers for him to sign. “Sign the damn papers you stupid thief! I can't be a wife to someone who steals money from my father's company.” “First of all, I'm not a thief and you know that y'all just framed me for this. Second of all, I wanna sell my shares of the company.” Bruce said as a drop of tears fell from his eyes, making the divorce paper wet at the edge. Selling his shares of the company was the best thing he thought of doing for himself. But Cassie’s reply came as the biggest shock he'd gotten in a long while. She looked him dead in the eyes as she said “Spoiler alert, you don't have no damn shares with that company.” “You must be crazy! This is a company I helped built from scratch!” His eyes turned red, full of rage and Cassie could feel the fire burning inside him. But she didn't care, she had already discussed everything with her father who told her every secret about why they let Bruce marry her in the first place. She looked Bruce deep in his soul and said “You are a fool to think you have shares in the Salvator company, you were screwed over! The papers and every document you signed in the Salvator company is fake! According to files and documentation, you are not even a member of the Salvator company!” “You devil! You and your father are a bunch of Lucifers from the pit of hell!” “You were so stupid to fall for me weren't you? You should've been wise enough to know that a good looking lady like me can't befriend you without a motive.” “What are you talking about?” Bruce was obviously trying to hold himself from doing anything stupid, the veins on his hands said it all. “Me and my dad ran checks on you. We discovered you're from some poor ass background and you're good with hard jobs, so he gave me the idea to lure you into marriage. And that way, we would be able to use your low life influence and muscles to build a construction company in our name, and you foolishly fell for the trap in the name of love.” “It's not yet over! When I get out of prison, I'm gonna make sure I talk sense into all my friends that I convinced into joining that company. Every single one of them is going to leave. The company will be left with nobody and they will all sell their shares!” Cassie laughed demonically “You just never process any information real quick do you? If you of all people don't have shares in the company, what makes you think your stupid ass friends have shares? Every single paper all of you signed is fake. That company belongs to me and my father hundred percent.” “We're all gonna get revenge for this. I'm gonna screw you and your evil dad who framed me up!” “Save your tears Bruce. You'll need them when you get outta this prison and your entire life falls back to the trash that you've always been meant to be.” Bruce looked up at her and he still couldn't believe it. A marriage scam was not even enough for them, they had to scam him about every single thing he got involved with them. He had always wanted to be underestimated as it was part of his plan, but everything happening wasn't anything he'd even thought about, he didn't see that coming “Oh my God!” Bruce signed the divorce papers furiously before turning back to Cassie “Mark this day, you and your entire family are going to regret every single thing you've done to me.” “We ain't gonna regret shit! Fuck outta ma face dirty man! You better worry about not dropping your soap while you're in this dirty prison. This is where you belong.” She turned away as she walked out the door with fast and heavy steps, making the tiles cry to every touch of her high heels. “You're gonna regret this Cassie!” Bruce gave a final yell before he was being pushed back into the metals. The next early morning newspaper arrived and Bruce rushed to get his hands on it as he'd always been doing. When he saw the headlines, he wasn't expecting it but at the same time, he wasn't shocked to see as it was boldly written “Estate Millionaire, Jonathan Gusman buys Lamborghini for his newly wedded wife Cassie Salvator” He looked at the newspaper closely and nodded like he'd just accepted whatever life throws at him. “Alright, she didn't waste no time after the divorce. Cool.” Cassie was just waiting to get the divorce so that she could quickly marry the Estate Millionaire. “How long before she does something terrible to her new husband and the marriage ends?” Bruce flinged the paper away angrily and kicked the tray of food in front of him. “Shit!” The Next three days in those prison walls felt different, Bruce couldn't get himself to eat good as he'd managed to do since his arrest. All he could do was think about things that had already happened and couldn't be changed. Finally, a newspaper came after a week and Bruce found himself smiling as he read it to himself “Millionaires wife, Cassie Salvator caught cheating” The news became more interesting when Bruce found out that Cassie demanded for half the property of her new millionaire husband only to find out that the whole marriage was faked! The marriage certificate was all a joke and Jonathan Gusman only did all of that to avoid any heartbreak and losses that he believed would surely come if he married Cassie who has a very poor history of keeping her ex husbands. “Hot Damn!”

Chapter 22
Everything came back to the start again. Bruce had to take his phone again and look at all those messages that went from his phone to Cassie “But why don't I remember sending this? They claim I was drunk but I never drink. What the hell is this?”Bruce stared at the screen of his own phone in shock. His heartbeat thudded in his ears as his eyes traced over the damning text messages that the officers had shown him. “This can’t be real,” Bruce muttered under his breath. His head dropped into his hands, the weight of it all pressing down on him like an entire storey building. One of the officers, the older one with graying hair, leaned forward. “You’ve got nothing to say, Mr Bruce Gusman? The evidence speaks for itself, you know.” Bruce’s head shot up, his eyes blazing. “I don’t remember ever texting Cassie! I've said this like a thousand times and y'all don't believe me and you don't want to. I loved my brother. Why would I hurt him?” The officer raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpr
Chapter 21
“Why the fuck will everyone think I killed my own brother?” It was all confusing and unbelievable. He was already cold with the fear inside of him, he looked around a thousand times hoping his brother might just come back to life and put an end to all of this. His wrists were still cuffed, his mind spinning. He couldn’t believe this was happening. Just hours ago, he had been in a meeting with his brother, the same brother who had proudly introduced him to the company as his successor. In just a matter of hours, his life had completely turned around for the bad! Jonathan was now gone, and Bruce was being accused of his murder. He stared at the officers standing before him, their expressions stern and unwavering. He searched their faces for any sign that this might be some kind of sick joke, but those men were too serious, there was no sign of a joke. “Wait a minute, are y'all serious about this?” Bruce asked only to be ignored by the cops. “Is this for real?” Bruce asked again, his

“My brother can't be dead! Jonathan can't die!” Bruce’s knees hit the cold hospital floor without feeling any kind of pain, he just couldn't feel any physical touch or pain except the torture that was going on in his heart, the inner wounds and inner battle he was already fighting, he felt like the ground beneath him had opened up. There, just feet away, lay his brother Jonathan. Bruce looked about the 90th time and nothing changed, Jonathan was still breathless, and covered in a sheet. His brother. His only family. “No!” Bruce shouted, his voice raw and filled with rage.“Bruce I'm sorry but you need to calm down, this is a hospital and there's other patients here who might be triggered by your noise.” A nurse said, trying to sound as polite as possible. But Bruce pushed past Bella and the nurses, rushing into the room. His movements were frantic, fueled by sheer denial. “Don’t touch him! He’s not dead!” Bruce said. A nurse tried to intercept him, but Bruce swatted her hand away.
Chapter 19
“Jesus Christ!”“Jonathan is shot! And it's a headshot! How's he gonna survive?”“Somebody call the damn Ambulance!”The entire boardroom was already scattered with people running up and down, trying not to be the next person to receive a bullet in case the shooter strikes again. Bruce’s heart felt like it had shattered into a million pieces, his legs carrying him instinctively to where his brother had fallen. “Jonathan!” Bruce shouted, “Jonathan can you hear me brother?” His voice was cracking as he crouched down. His hands trembled as he reached for him, but the sight of blood pouring from the small hole in Jonathan’s forehead made Bruce freeze “Holy Cow! His eyes were already spinning and he became totally confused. “No, no, no,” Bruce muttered, his chest getting heavier as a voice began telling him that he might lose his brother. He couldn’t take it. He tried to stand and he felt dizzy, he'd never seen anything like that before. A hole in his brother’s head, thick blood on his
Chapter 18
“Do you notice that Bruce looks very shy?” The boardroom buzzed with quiet murmurs as Jonathan stood at the head of the table, he adjusted his suit as he looked at everyone seated, commanding the attention of the entire room. Bruce sat to his right, with his expression very calm but tinged with curiosity. It was still new for him, being seated in very official environments like that. Deep down he wanted to be home already taking cereals. Jonathan had been waiting for a perfect moment to make an announcement and the moment finally came. Jonathan cleared his throat, and the room fell silent. “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for being here today. This meeting isn’t just about business as usual. I have a very special announcement to make.” “I hope he doesn't want to get married again.” The workers exchanged glances and their interest piqued. Jonathan turned to his brother with a proud smile before continuing. “As many of you already know, Bruce is not just my brother, he’s family
Chapter 17
“Jesus Christ!” Cassie exclaimed, her voice trembling with disbelief and rage. It was hard to believe that her best friend Rikkie would be the one person who sneaks to sleep with her boyfriend. She took a step backward. Her anger was obvious and her hands clenched into fists as Jason and Rikkie tried to cover their naked bodies. Jason awkwardly reached for his jeans, fumbling in panic, while Rikkie snatched a blanket and wrapped it tightly around her boobs. “Cheaters! Both of you!” Cassie’s eyes darted between the two of them, her expression was just a complete storm of fury. Her voice cut through the tension like a knife. “What the hell is this Jason? Are you kidding me?” Jason stammered, he knew there was no explanation, but he had to give it a try. “Cassie, I can explain—” “Explain what?” she snapped, stepping closer. “The room smells of your fucking, there's two used condoms on the floor, both with your damn cum inside, and you want to explain shit to me?” Cassie’s hand flew
