The moment Kendrick sat down in this place, he felt like he had finally found redemption.
One day, free from the burden of guilt, he would open his arms and embrace that woman once more.
“Raclynn, you have to wait for me.”

“Alberto, you’re the only one who can help me with this. Please, you have to help me.”
Raelynn dialed the phone number of an old friend, now far away in Vlebus. She quickly explained the situation to him, and without hesitation, Alberto promised to use his connections to help.
Now, she could no longer live freely in the world outside, not with the constant worry gnawing at her.
In the long week of waiting, Raelynn couldn’t eat properly or sleep well, her body growing thinner with each passing day.
When Alberto finally called, she answered the phone the moment the screen lit up. “Hello? Alberto, what’s going on?”
Listening to the hopeful tone in her voice, Alberto furrowed his brow, suddenly falling silent.
A dreadful premonition rose in Raelynn’s chest, and she bit her lip. “Is it not possible?”
“Raclynn, I’m sorry.”
After a long pause, Alberto was the first to speak.
Raelynn’s eyes instantly filled with tears. If even Alberto’s connections couldn’t help, she didn’t know who in the world could.
“I’ve reached out to a lot of people and made all the right connections, but…
“But what?” she pressed, her voice trembling.
“Kendrick refuses any chance at a reduced sentence.”
Those words were like a knife stabbing through Raelynn’s chest, and she couldn’t help but gasp, her eyes widening in shock.
“What did you say?”
She barely managed to speak, disbelief and fear flooding her voice.
“Five years and two months. He will definitely serve every single day before he’s released.”
“Kendrick made sure everyone knew in prison. He said that since you suffered two years and seven months because of him, he will repay you double. Only then will he feel like he’s made it right.
“I wish there was more I could do to help him, but if he refuses to cooperate, there’s nothing I can do. I’m really sorry, Raelynn.
Long after the call ended, Raelynn still couldn’t shake the overwhelming sadness.
She held her phone tightly, slowly sinking to the floor, curling up with her knees hugged to her chest, burying her face in them
The pain and helplessness surged from deep within her, wrapping around her like tangled vines and suffocating he..
Raelynn trembled with the ache, unable to speak, unable to breathe.
Kendrick, who is the winner in this high–stakes gamble?

“Mr. Reece, you have a visitor today.”
Even in prison, people of Kendrick’s status were treated with respect by the guards.

Hearing the announcement, Kendrick furrowed his brow, puzzled. Who would come to see him without any warning?
When the figure of a woman and two children appeared in the visiting room, it caught him completely off guard. He froze, staring in stunned silence.
At the sound of movement, Raelynn, holding the hands of the children, slowly turned around.
This was Kendrick’s first time seeing Lola and Orion.
But with just that one look, he knew without a doubt that they were his children.
Blood ties could be truly miraculous at times. Two people who had never met could instantly share an undeniable connection.
Tears filled Kendrick’s eyes, and they fell quickly, his shoulders trembling ever so slightly.
“Kendrick, I brought the kids to see you.”
Raelynn’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears, her voice breaking as she spoke.
