IGNACIO

S taring at the lime green paint stripe across from me with unfocused eyes, I listen to the door of my new cage as it slams shut.

Prison. Fuck.

I knew this was a possibility for moving against my best friends, my brothers in arms, my lovers. The Carlysle Kings. It’s always been us against the world.

Until her.

My stepsister has never done anything that we expected her to. She didn’t back down when we pushed, in fact she just regrouped and kept going. We weren’t expecting her.

Fuck, I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with her either. That’s for damn sure.

Liliana and Rachelle are my curve balls in this life, and I had to listen to the former cry during my trial while I was accused and charged with the murder of our girlfriend. I didn’t do it.

In fact, I did everything I could to save her. Yet, she's gone and I’m in this cell while her murderers walk free.

Their fingerprints weren’t on the shovels, mine were.

No one saw them in the woods, but eyewitnesses appeared out of nowhere, begging to speak against me.

And then Rachelle died in the hospital, and the doctor even spoke at my trial about everything that had been done to her as an expert witness for the prosecution.

Life isn’t fair, and I wouldn’t let my father save me from this. His eyes filled with tears as he watched me go, knowing this is the twist of fate no one saw coming.

I need a place to mourn and plot my revenge, so I can destroy the boys I once called mine.
