CHAPTER 2:After gathering so much courage Lyon raised his head to look at the person who just spoke and as he suspected it was Alisha his girlfriend.He looked at her in shock, maybe he didn’t hear what she said correctly, and maybe he was just hearing things. But Ethan didn’t give him enough time to doubt as his next line of action rendered him speechless.He walked towards Alisha holding her waist and kissing her on her forehead “Hey babe, didn’t expect you to come”“Babe! Did he just call you babe?” Lyon asked Alisha as he tried to put himself together“Oh! So you’re not just poor but also deaf?” Alisha said mocking him while everyone laughed at him“Did you really think I would date someone like you? A scumbag who can’t even afford to get me a decent gift! You must really dream big Lyon” She added disgustfullyLyon smirked as everything became clear to him. What was he expecting? That the richest girl in school would fall in love with a wretched guy like him? He thought she loved

CHAPTER 4:Lyon ran none stop as he kept on coughing and panting heavily, yet he wasn’t bold enough to take a break or stop to catch his breath. The entire life of his family was in danger all because he was a fool to fall in love with a total ingrate, someone who he wasn’t permitted to love.“Why do you have to be an asshole Lyon?” He asked himself disappointedly. His nose began to bleed because the bandages Mr. Bails placed on it were all socked by the rain so it was gradually removed from his nose.The rain did a good job at washing away the blood from his nose but he couldn’t breathe anymore, he didn’t want to stop even if every single sign his body was giving him was saying otherwise. He had asthma, and he wasn’t supposed to be taking such a long run but here he was running because he knew if he was a minute late his entire life would change.He ransacked his pocket as he continued running, his view became hazy yet he didn’t want to stop. He finally found his inhaler as he grabbe

CHAPTER 6: “Please don’t do this Ethan” Lyon said pushing his pride aside as he knelt down holding Ethan’s leg as hot tears flowed from his eyes. Looking at him one would see the pain that danced deep in his eyes, the anger that came with the tears could burn down any building if it were to be fireEthan looked at him with a smile “Haven’t you heard Lyon? When you beg me it fuels my hunger to make you beg more and I know you don’t want that, do you?” He asked Lyon“We are in Ethan, we should totally do a bid, and I need her in bed right now”“I agree, I’m ready to bid any amount in as much I can have her for a night”Annabel and Lyon listened as they deliberated on auctioning her body as if it were a commodity. Annabel was in her senior year in high school and she was fare skinned that men couldn’t help but look back when she was anywhere and here she was been auctioned like a slave.Lyon had always protected every member of his family like a diamond because they meant the whole worl

CHAPTER 8: 5 YEARS LATER“Inmate 412 you won’t be getting any food today because you haven’t been meeting up to expectations, the government can’t be wasting its time on liabilities like you” The prison wader spat out arrogantly at a man with an oxygen tank by his side and a nasal cannula on his nose, aiding his breathing. The man was no other person than LyonAfter the incident five years back, he was diagnosed with chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), as the fire damaged his lungs. He didn’t have any money to do a lung transplant so he resolved to live on the oxygen tank as the doctor said he had just seven years to live. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for a crime he saw someone else commit yet he was framed for it. Was the government blind and slow-witted? How can a man kill his parents for no reason? Is that even possible?He finally came out of his thoughts and looked at the prison warder “But sir that was the same thing you said yesterday” He said sadly. He hasn’t
