Vanessa's POV

It's been seven days since I last saw Richard, a week of freedom from his trouble and visitations and one part of me is really grateful for this.

But the other part of me is really worried, not like I care though but because of the last thing he said to me before leaving that day.

“Promise you'll visit me in the prison after I'm done with them” Those words kept on ringing in my head over and over again and getting it out is really difficult.

If only I have his mobile number or home address, I would have checked up on him to see if he hadn't done anything stupid. Maybe I should call his mom but I don't think that's a good idea. I need to stay on my own lane and respect myself.

“Scarlet, I need you in my office right away” My boss, Emily's voice brought my attention back to earth. I stood up, adjusted my skirt and checked myself properly before entering her office.

She hates seeing people untidy and dirty.

“You called for me, ma'am”
