On the same night of the day they were found guilty, Ferdinand remained awake in the cell until midnight while José fell asleep at ten o'clock.

The cell had no windows. Just three walls and the fourth wall being replaced by steel bars holding prisoners in.

The entire place smelt like puke and dust. A feeling of death lurked about. A lot of things unseen to a normal citizen have happened in that prison which should not be mentioned at all.

People who became prisoners there were treated exactly and even worse than the criminals they were. And most times, the level of suffering to be endured by the criminal depends on how high the crime committed.

Ferdinand got up and restlessly walked about in the cell wondering to himself if this was how it was going to end for him.

Tasha inquired, determined to know everything."I don't want you to worry too much. You have a baby to take care of while I'm away and these kinds of things aren't for you to worry about." Vincent explained, removing the cap and lifting his head to sit up properly.Tasha smiled, "It's about the Ferdinand and José problem isn't it? What did the detective say?" "You don't need to know that honey." Vincent waved Tasha's question away."Yes, I do. I am your wife

She's going to need surgery to remove it, but she's strong, and we expect her to make a full recovery."Relief washed over Vincent, the weight lifting off his shoulders. He thanked the doctor profusely, gratitude filling his eyes. They were given permission to see Chloe, but only one person at a time, due to limited visiting hours.

Eli asked Samuel."We are best friends. That's the dumbest question I've ever heard." Vincent replied."Not in this case, Samuel. I want to be alone." Eli stated firmly."Then we can be alone together." Samuel placed his hand on Eli's shoulder but Eli shrugged it off and turned his head to Samuel."I don't get it, Samuel. Don't you have any brain? Are you stupid or something? I fucking ruined your life by taking the place that was meant to be yours and yet you're following me to make sure I'm alright?! Why?! Are you not capable of hate?

Vincent asked Lily, "We didn't exactly speak to your mother about it." he added."She never cared about me so why should I care what she thinks of my choices? She spent all her life searching for her missing son and neglecting me." Lily replied, "She never once called me since I left. probably never noticed in the first place."Vincent stayed quiet and allowed Lily to lead the rest of them into the house.Vincent's phone started to ring and his wife, Chloe, wanted to stay back and know what the phone call was all about."Who is it?"

    "Vincent, what was that all about?" Chloe asked after following Vincent to their bedroom.Vincent paced left and right in the bedroom, thinking of what to do now."We can't let them go through with whatever they are planning to do," Vincent said."Go through with what? Can you stop and explain what's going on to me? Vincent please!" Chloe demanded."I heard you mentioned Mr. X. What's going on?!" Chloe asked again.Vincent looked at Chloe with eyes filled with sadness, "It's Samuel. Eli's best friend.""What about him?" Chloe asked."I think... He might just be my son and Eli isn't." Vincent replied."What?! How come? If Eli isn't our son then who are his real parents? How did all this happen?" Chloe panicked."That's something I'm yet to figure out. I know that Kate left her child with me and there was certainly no interval where anyone must have switched Eli. Could it be that the baby at that time wasn't Kate's? She just pretended to have abandoned her child?" Vincent thought deeper
