WITHOUT EVERYONE knowing, the savior was able to bring Damian to the nearest empty room without being harmed. He knew the shortcuts and exits to the prison, so they weren’t able to encounter the other police as he was escaping Damian out of the room with fire. He lay Damian, who was between waking up and fainting, on the floor. He made sure that Damian would breathe some fresh air after being suffocated for a few seconds. “You didn’t inhale a lot of smoke, but you looked traumatized, Sir,” the man wearing a police uniform said, his tone laced with worry. “You are safe now. Look at your surroundings. There is no fire here.” Damian’s mind was still in a haze, but he could hear the police officer’s words. He obliged and scanned his surroundings. ‘He is right. I’m safe now,’ he thought, followed by a sigh of relief. He sat on the ground, his right hand placed on his forehead, slightly massaging it. He was much better than before, thanks to the man who saved him. “Are you one of my fath

A FEW HOURS later, while resting on the clinic bed, Damian suddenly felt dizzy. He wasn’t feeling like that earlier, so he was confused. It felt like he wanted to sleep although it was just seven o’clock in the evening.“I will not accept any visitors for tonight, although I doubt I will have one,” Damian said to the nurse, who was checking his vitals before clocking out for this day’s shift. “If the prison guard who saved me earlier comes here, tell him to just come back in the morning. I’m not feeling well.”“Alright. I will lock the door when I leave,” the nurse replied while fixing the sphygmomanometer to the side. “Anyway, there is something wrong with your vitals today. You have a rapid heartbeat, and looking at it, you are also pale. Do you feel any pain in your body right now?”“No.” Damian shook his head. “I just think I need to rest. Maybe I ate too much earlier,” he added.The nurse wasn’t satisfied with his answer, yet she nodded. “I understand. Just take a rest, and you w

DAMIAN SHOOK his head in response. He looked at Jonathan, and the disappointment was evident in his eyes. “I gave you a chance to run away, but you chose to break my trust instead of saving your life. How foolish,” he said as he sat on the hospital bed and placed the knife, which was now full of blood, on the table. “Some people really do take advantage of one’s kindness and stab them in the back, isn’t it?”He smirked wickedly after saying those words. However, it faded when his gaze moved toward his hands which were covered with blood, and some of it also stained his shirt.There, Damian realized something. It was his first time to kill someone. His heart raced fast, and his breathing was ragged. His disappointment was suddenly converted into fear, anxiety, and strangely, a little sense of accomplishment.Although it was unintentional, a little guilt and fear were creeping into his body.‘If I didn’t kill him first, I would be the one lying dead on the ground right now,’ said Dami

“YOU WERE just discharged from the clinic after fighting on your first day in prison, yet you are fighting against him again?” the police officer asked, looking at Damian in disbelief. “What kind of a troublemaker are you to cause a fight for the second time?”Damian didn’t answer. Instead, he just shrugged and placed both hands in his pocket.“And you! Why are you beating him up to death?” the female police officer said, giving Ricardo a deadly glare this time. “You might be punished because of this! I thought you didn’t want to have solitary confinement anymore.”“It is Damian’s fault,” Ricardo replied, pointing at Damian as the side of his lips rose, trying to pin everything to Damian on purpose. “He was the one who blocked my way when I went out of the recreation area for a bit. He insulted me first, even though I'm not doing anything against him.”The police officer’s glance moved to Damian, her eyes narrowing. “Is that true?”“Look at his expression. He wasn’t even regretting wh
