Synopsis

Bryan, a cunning businessman who hides his true mission beneath a veil of indifference, is serving time not as a punishment, but as a calculated move to uncover secrets that could change everything. Jessica, a strong-willed woman who finds herself imprisoned after being framed for a crime she didn't commit, struggles to maintain her dignity and sanity in a place where both are constantly under siege. As Bryan navigates the dangerous power plays within the prison, he’s approached by Matt, a fellow inmate with a dark request that threatens to push Bryan’s moral boundaries to their breaking point. Meanwhile, Jessica faces her own battles, clashing with both malevolent inmates and her mysterious, aloof cellmate. But as the two are drawn closer by circumstance, they begin to uncover hidden layers in each other—and themselves. Bryan finds his icy exterior melting in the face of Jessica's fierce spirit, while Jessica discovers a surprising ally in the man she initially despised. As their bond deepens, they must navigate treacherous alliances, dangerous desires, and a web of secrets that could either lead them to freedom or destroy them both. In this high-stakes game of survival, trust becomes a rare commodity, and love may be the only thing worth holding onto. Will Bryan and Jessica be able to escape the deadly confines of prison life, or will their pasts and the choices they’ve made catch up with them before they can find their way out?

Chapter 1Funny Prison Life

"One female guard is messing with me, I want to teach her a lesson!" Matt informed Bryan. The latter was bewildered. 

"He must be kidding me!" Bryan wondered inwardly and scoffed. 

"And why can't you do it yourself?" Bryan asked him. 

"Because I don't want dirt on my hands." Matt snapped at him. 

"Then, you can have your 'Jogy' get it done for you!" Bryan mentioned with a shrug. Matt peered at him like he had suddenly grown two heads. 

"Jogy doesn't do such trivial tasks. He is way bigger than that. He has important tasks to carry out." Matt told him. 

"Oh, really? I didn't know he is that organized with the jobs he accepts. Doesn't he just take any job you offer him, since he will be paid?" Bryan inquired with a doubtful look. 

"Spill, bro!" Bryan stated inwardly. He hoped Matt would take the bait and told him something useful about the mysterious Jogy" 

"Oh, you don't know Jogy!" Matt said and chuckled. Bryan furrowed his eyebrow. 

"Jogy doesn't take up every job. He has choices because he is not a begger. It is people who need his services that will be begging him with their money. That is how important Jogy is." Matt informed him. 

How important he is, or he was?" Bryan egged him on. 

"He is still very important and relevant, as he is stuck here, if not even more important than when he was outside. Let me let you in on a secret! 

People bring jobs for Jogy from outside and he delivers excellently and smoothly. He is even getting new clients through referrals. That is who Jogy is." Matt stated boastfully. 

"Wow! He is totally on another level different from the regular assasins out there. I like his charisma." Bryan stated, smiling brightly. 

"I tell you, man! It is only here in the prison that Jogy started dealing with small killings because people won't stop bombarding him with jobs here and there. When Jogy was outside, he strictly handled high profile tasks. He rolled only with politicians!" Matt said. 

"Uh-oh..." Bryan faked a gasp and listened with rapt attention, taking note of every important details in his head, as Matt rambled on. 

"So, this task of mine, I need you to execute it for me." Matt went back to the main issue after the digression. 

"Oh, that? Let me know what happen to do to her, first!" Bryan demanded to know. 

"I want to have my way with her. You should arrange everything and make it possible for me, in a way that it won't be traced back to me at all. My father has warned me to just lay low and not cause any trouble until he is done with his campaign and get me out of here." Matt informed a very shocked Bryan. 

"You are out of your mind!" Bryan blurted out. 

"What?" It was Matt's turn to be shocked. 

"You want to rape a guard?" Bryan asked with disbelief. It was a rhetorical question so he continued talking. 

"You sure know what you want to do is very bad and risky, so you want me to take the front and suffer the brunt? Really? For what?" Bryan growled at him, furiously. 

"You are asking me for what again? To settle your debt! To pay Jogy for the task he executed for you." Matt yelled back at him. 

"So, you have to do it. Anyways, the guard in question is Elena!" Matt added the information, nonchalantly. 

"What?" Bryan was dumbfounded, when he heard the name. 

 ~

"That man has really gone insane!" Bryan exclaimed angrily on a phone call as he walked back to the cell after the day's work. 

There's a prison guard with him

"He wants me to arrange and make his ridiculous plan, possible? He is literally dumping it all on me. What does he even take me for? His errand boy?" Bryan said. 

"Do not forget why you are there and try to remain calm okay" the vice over the call said and they ended the call, he gave the phone to the prison guard and walked past him

"Meanwhile, inside the cell, Jessica was in the bathroom, enjoying the feeling of the hot water on her body. 

"Oh! Such a blissful feeling!" She moaned enjoyably. 

"Just what I needed after a hard work today." She wanted to moan again but she stopped as she heard the cell's door opened and also footsteps. 

"Oh, my! He is back? What do I do?" She panicked. 

"I didn't come in here with my clothes. I thought he wouldn't have come back before I finished having my bath but I lost track of time because of the enjoyable water. Oh silly me!" She lamented and quickly wrapped the small towel around herself. 

"Eww, I feel so naked right now!" She expressed her dissatisfaction and tightened her grip at the towel as if that would make it suddenly bigger. 

"Should I just stay here and wait till he goes out?" She thought. 

"But he won't have anywhere to go again after the day's work!" One part of her mind pointed out. 

"Well, he might have a call. Yeah, his fiancee that called him the other day, might decide to call him again, today ..." Jessica trailed, contemplating on what to do. 

"I heard the shower stopped running as I entered the room, so how come she is not coming out?" Bryan wondered after settling in his corner. That was like fifteen minutes after he came in. 

"I hope nothing has happened to her in there? That clumsy woman ..." Bryan thought and he decided to knock on the door. Jessica was still waiting, hoping he would go out when she heard him knocked. She almost jumped out of her skin. 

"What are you doing in there?" She heard Bryan asked her from outside. 

"I am coming out now!" She was befuddled and thus, opened the door and walked out. 

"Oh, sorry...!" She wanted to apologize as she tried to avoid bumping into him, but she lost her footing. 

"Watch it!" Bryan said and quickly grabbed her. As he tried to help her from falling, the towel loosened, therefore, her bosoms were exposed before Bryan's opened eyes.

Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.
