I Went to Jail to Save His First LoveChapter 1

Gilbert Bolton and I got married.

On our wedding day, his so-called first love—Irene Elliott—was involved in a car accident that claimed a life. Instead of offering support, he turned on me, accusing me of provoking her.

"Irene can't have a criminal record," he said coldly. "You take the fall for her."

When I refused, he threatened my father's safety, leaving me no choice but to agree. I bore the blame for Irene's crime and was thrown into prison. Tortured and broken, I endured a life worse than death, but it was there that I finally saw Gilbert—and my own heart—clearly.

Even if he knelt before me and begged for forgiveness one day, I vowed never to look back.

When I was released from prison, his driver was waiting at the gate. Without a word, I was driven to a club on Gilbert’s orders.

The moment I reached the private room door, I heard voices inside.

"Gilbert," Luke Hart, his close friend, said, "I heard Amelia Byrd was released from prison today. What about Irene?"

There was a pause, and then Gilbert’s calm and detached voice said, "Her return won’t affect anything between me and Irene."
