Life After Prison

The loud bang startled the amorous couple on the bed. The man hurriedly covered himself with a blanket, while the woman turned pale with fright and pulled another blanket to cover herself.

“Who are you? Some beggar from the streets?” Easton froze when he saw Severin in tattered clothes.

“You said you’d wait ten years for me, but it’s only been five years and you’re already…” Severin clenched his fists so tightly that there was a crackling sound from his joints. The blood that surged up to his brain due to anger made his forehead veins throb, and he looked exceedingly ferocious right then.

“Severin?!” Lucy exclaimed in disbelief after getting a good look at him. “You’re back? How?!”

Severin felt his heart convulse violently as a faint self-mocking grin appeared on his lips. “You ended up with this b*stard, now? Of all the people you could have chosen to be with, did it have to be him?”

Easton’s confidence returned a bit more after seeing that the intruder was Severin. While putting on his clothes and pants, he said, “You got a problem with that? Are you saying that I’m not good enough for her? I’ve got money and power, so isn’t it obvious that I’m better than some loser in hobo’s clothes?”

Severin ignored Easton completely. Instead, his bloodshot eyes were staring firmly at Lucy. “Hahaha, isn’t it funny? I came back to you as soon as I’ve reached ‘that level’ because my plan was to give my whole world to you. I wanted to make you the happiest woman in the world, but here you are, sleeping with the man who forced himself on you all those years ago!” Severin then paused for a moment and continued, “I wouldn’t blame you if you decided not to wait for me, but did you really have to be with someone like him?”

Severin’s telling-off led Lucy to put on a nightgown and stand up. She then remarked proudly to him, “You’re the funny one here, Severin. Did I hear you right when you said that you were going to give your whole world to me? What do you have to offer when you’re dirt poor? You can never reach the standards of rich young men like Easton. He can buy me bags that cost several thousand on a whim. Can you do that?”

took a cigarette, lit it, and smoked it as she continued, “I’ll spend my entire life having to suffer if I get married to a loser like you. With Easton, I can enjoy a whole lifetime’s worth of riches and glory. So,
