‘HOW COULD a person be this heartless?’
It was the only question that lingered on August's mind as he stared at the television. Samantha was wearing the same dress he bought for her before— and the same dress she used when Bruce proposed to her.
Samantha was sitting in a white office chair, and a white table was in front of her. She had a brown scarf on her neck, and she was wearing large sunglasses that almost hid her face.
“Is it true that you've been involved with Augustus Fordman even before both of you entered the Sandoval Corporation?” the interviewer asked.
“Y-Yes. August is my ex-boyfriend,” answered Samantha as her voice cracked a bit. “We've been together since college. We have kept our relationship a secret since I wanted to finish my studies first…”

Don’t let them beat you to death, you dumbass!”“Nice punch, officer! Finish the fight already!”A round of screams and applause followed after that.Finishing the fight means killing one of them so the other one could be declared the winner.

For Jake, she’s a bitch who seduced his son. Even if that was true, Samantha still couldn’t help but get hurt every time he criticized her.“But father—”“Shut up or I may change my mind. I’m not talking to you,” Jake interrupted Samantha, who was about to disagree with his command. “I’ll… I’ll ask help from the Wellington family about this and ask if they can do something.”Bruce and Nicole, who was just silent while sitting on the couch, knew that Jake hated seeking help more than anyone else.

A WEEK later, the rumors about Samantha went down the drain with the help of the Wellington family. It was almost non-existent in the news. However, as a condition, Samantha needed to withdraw the case.“I realized… I should forgive everyone who did something bad to me,” said Samantha in a press conference while wiping her fake tears. “I decided not to file a case anymore. I just hope he’ll change now…”Samantha was clever for thinking that was to escape the humiliation. Still, Sapphire’s main goal was achieved.

SUDDENLY, fear crept onto August’s skin upon hearing George’s deadly question. There wasn't a hint of any emotions in his eyes except for coldness and intimidation. He gulped twice, wondering how people inside this prison could kill anyone just because they violated a rule.If he didn’t return the phone to Mill at that time, he would be the one who got killed by the police!“I’m kidding this time,” said George after a moment of silence. He was the only one who laughed while looking at August’s entertaining reactions, but August felt the opposite.‘Fuck that,’ were the words he wanted to say, but he decided to purse his lips instead. ‘I’m glad I’m going to get out of this place anytime soon. I don’t want to be here anymore with these crazy people.’“Don’t worry. I just want your cooperation. The Blackbell prison should maintain its name as the country’s most feared prison despite giving the proper justice,” George explained. His expression was softer this time. “I can trust you that
