Chapter 3

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!”
