Behind Bars

Few weeks later

Everything is back to normal and I will be forever grateful to Sheng Xing.

I was able to find my parents and tell them everything was okay. They even met Sheng Xing, I told them I loved him.

Now a new chapter of my life opens As the prison doors close on my harassers, a feeling of relief comes over me.

Finally, I can breathe without fear of anything.

But this relief is tinged with a rather dark irony. Because while they languish behind bars, I have become what they never imagined: a recognized lawyer, fighting for the justice they have so violated.

Through the television screens in their cell, they must no doubt be watching my rise with a bitter mixture of regret and helplessness.

Their power has evaporated, reduced to nothing by the overwhelming evidence of their despicable crimes. Every plea, every victory in court, is a final blow to their arrogance.

With him by my side nothing was impossible for me.
