He had been a dedicated enforcer of the prison's rules for years, known for his sharp instincts and an unyielding commitment to maintaining order. Little did he know that this particular morning would set the stage for a series of events that would test his skills and determination to the fullest.Officer James parked his patrol car in the familiar spot, a few yards away from the imposing prison gates. As he stepped out of his vehicle, he couldn't help but notice the stillness in the air. It was an eerily quiet morning, a stark contrast to the usual commotion that greeted him upon arrival. He had a nagging feeling that something was amiss.Just as he was about to dismiss his unease as mere paranoia, his phone chimed with a message notification. He retrieved his phone from his pocket, and the message was from Dave, a fellow officer known for his reliability and di

Juliet stood in the shadowy corner of a dimly lit room, her eyes fixed on a flickering candle that cast eerie shapes on the ancient tapestries that adorned the walls. Her lips moved soundlessly as she muttered to herself, a secret smile playing at the corners of her mouth."Finally," she whispered, her voice barely audible, "Alice has stepped into the good shoes of Dave." The words hung in the air like a long-awaited victory, and Juliet's eyes gleamed with satisfaction.For too long, Alice had been overshadowed by the oppressive influence of Madam Charlotte and her conniving family. They had wielded power like a weapon, manipulating the strings of politics with a cold and calculating hand.

After what felt like eternity,Dave finally got back to the office and laid his head tirelessly on the desk.The boss,who was always fond of insulting Dave, came out of his office and threw Dave's monthly salary at him.He stared at him with a smirk and cleared his throat."Take this to hold your breath; I've noticed that you're not active with the delivery work. I do not want to see you near my company again.""But sir...""Shhhhhh, shut up before I take the money back from you."The manager interrupted Dave's speech and asked him to leave."100$?" Dave screamed and looked at the money."How much do you think I could give?"The manager shouted at him with a snarl."At least half the payment will be okay; this is not enough."Dave said it in a worried way and took a look at the money in his hands one more time."This is the last time I'm saying this. Get lost from my sight.".The manager yelled at Dave, and he walked away with the 10 dollars in his hands.He had been delivering items f
Chapter two"You called me Mom." Dave said it in a polite way and stood behind Madam Charlotte's chair."You better get out of my sight and get yourself busy in the kitchen." Madam Charlotte yelled, and Dave stared at her in a confused way. Was he not done with what he was supposed to do?"I guess you're now mature enough to keep standing there after my mom tells you to leave her sight". Emily, Madame Charlotte's elder daughter, retorted.With trembling hands and a heavy heart, Dave made his way back to the kitchen until he felt like getting back to Amelia's room.As he entered the room, the sight before him shattered what little hope remained. There they were, still in bed together, Amelia and the man. A pang of disrespect pierced his chest, and anger mixed with hurt surged through his veins again.Nelson, oblivious to the pain he had caused, began to mock and laugh at Dave again. The laughter echoed in his ears, a cruel symphony of his shattered dreams and broken trust."I thought th
Chapter three"Better get something and do it as a man, or else your dad is going to lose his life."Those words kept creeping into Dave's mind.Dave stood outside the jewelry shop, clutching the special watch that his father had given him.He felt a mix of sadness and desperation as he contemplated parting with the cherished gift.His father's hospital bills had been piling up, and they had reached a point where he had no choice but to sell the watch to cover the expenses."I can't afford to lose my dad."He muttered to himself and walked towards the jewelry shop.With a heavy heart, Dave entered the shop, the doorbell chiming softly as he stepped inside.The jeweler behind the counter looked up from his work, his eyes narrowing as he saw the watch in Dave's hand. Something seemed amiss."Good afternoon, sir," Dave said, trying to maintain a calm demeanor despite the nerves that were tightening his stomach. "I would like to inquire about selling this watch."The jeweler's eyes darted
Chapter 4"5000 million dollars?"Dave said stunningly."You're a rich young man.I think you can pay for your caretaker's hospital bill now."The shopkeeper said with a beam."Yes, that's where I'm heading too, and afterward, I will meet my real Dad."As Dave and the shopkeeper made their way through the streets, a few individuals couldn't resist the urge to voice their judgment. Mocking comments and sneers followed them, questioning why the shopkeeper would associate himself with someone dressed in tattered clothes like Dave. "Why are people staring at me? Did I do something wrong?"Dave muttered to himself.Their words echoed in the air, creating a momentary cloud of discomfort. Dave, however, remained undeterred by their taunts.Turning to the shopkeeper, Dave offered a reassuring smile. "Ignore their comments, my friend," he said softly. "Let their words pass by like the wind. We know the truth of who we are and what we stand for."Amidst the mocking comments, a young woman appro
