Chaos broke out. Security guards pinned me to the ground. My cheek pressed against the cold marble floor as I met her cold gaze—she was holding the crying man in her arms. She looked at me like watching a rat in the sewer.
“Call the police,” she said.
I laughed. And my laugh became louder and louder.
This made everyone recoil in shock.
Since the amount involved exceeded one thousand and five hundred dollars, I was sentenced to three years in prison, plus compensation for material and emotional damages.
I attempted suicide several times in prison, yet I was miraculously saved each time.
A year later, I had my sentence reduced because of good behavior and was released early, but I left with nothing. However, I had come to terms with many things.
When the car reached our destination, Leo went to the restroom to touch up his makeup.
Kelly stood beside me and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
“What happened back then—it was our fault. Next time, I’ll tell Leoto to watch his behaviour.”
I raised an eyebrow. The Kelly I knew back then would never have bowed to me. But she was now willing to apologize to me.
I looked at her, a little puzzled.
