forgot to struggle or scream.
The warden smirked and waved his hand, and
I was dragged back with my mouth covered.
The warden was completely enraged by my
attempt to escape from this hell and my
complaint to Leyla.
That day, I was beaten until I was covered in
blood, and when I passed out, I was woken up
by ice–cold water.
My head was pressed into the cold dirty
water and I was almost choking.
As a painter, my right–hand tendons were
ruthlessly cut, and my dream was destroyed
in an instant.
く
The warden smirked, “Mr. Diaz hates your
hands the most, so you can’t keep them!”
I cried and struggled in despair, but my hand.
could only be forcibly destroyed.
I knew why Niko hated my hands. Because as
long as I was around, he would never win the
design championship.
His only victory was also due to Leyla’s help,
and he used shady means.

We were quiet in the car.
In the past, I used to chatter and share
everything interesting in my life with Leyla,
<
including good movies, beautiful pigments,
and colleagues I met recently.
She had always been silent and even
annoyed, “Phillip, why do you have so much to say every day? Aren’t you tired?”
I smiled brightly as if I never had any worries.
“Because I love you, I like talking to you.”
Then she would shake her head helplessly as
if she could do nothing to me.
“Oh my!”
But I felt sweet in my heart. I liked being with
Leyla. I never got bored no matter what we
did together.
Even though I had been giving all the time, I
<
didn’t feel tired.
However, Leyla looked at me with confusion at this moment, “You… used to talk a lot,
right? Why don’t you talk now?”
I was confused. Didn’t she hate me for talking
too much?
Wouldn’t it be to her liking if I kept quiet?
Besides, the warden said that I, a lowly man,
couldn’t get close to Leyla.
Leyla only loved Niko. If I shamelessly
seduced her, I would be punished.
I was dirty and cheap, even looking at Leyla
was an offense to her.
“Miss Brooks belongs to Mr. Diaz, you
bastard is not allowed to get close to her!
Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to deal with
you!”
As he spoke, he turned on the button for the
current.
With the electric current buzzing, I trembled
and convulsed until I became numb.
The warden’s ruthless face seemed to be
right in front of me, and I almost curled up
into a ball.
I tightly hugged myself, forming a self-
defensive posture.
Seeing that I remained silent, Leyla became
annoyed and held my chin with her pretty
hand.
“Are you blaming me for sending you to
prison? You are vicious and have done such wrong things, and now you blame me?”
Seeing me shake my head, she became even
angrier, “Since you don’t hold any grudges,
then why are you making that face?”
I was frightened by her angry look.
I immediately forced a smile, with a hint of
flattery, but it was strange.
Just as Leyla was about to say something, we
arrived at the Brooks family.
A gentleman wearing a navy blue suit walked
over and lightly knocked on the car window.
The man had a gentle smile, but I felt a chill
all over my body.
“Niko is my nephew. Who the hell do you
think you are to steal his woman?
He is unhappy today because of you. What
should we play today? Whip, needle bed…
He said that he gets upset when he sees your
hands, so I’ll break your hands as his birthday
present.”
I kept thinking of the warden’s devilish voice. I
held my head, too scared to get out of the
car.
Leyla opened the car door and saw Niko, and
her gloomy face softened a lot.
She said gently, “It’s so sunny, and you’re not
in good health, why did you come out?”
The man smiled and glanced at Leyla, “I want
to welcome you.”
“You don’t have to do this next time.”
Upon hearing this, Niko’s expression froze for
a moment, then he forced a smile and said,
“Even if I don’t welcome you, I still want to
welcome Phillip. We haven’t seen each other
for a long time.”
Seeing that I was still hiding in the car and
refusing to come out, Leyla opened the car
door and said angrily, “What are you doing?”
But I seemed not to hear her question. I
lowered my head with empty eyes and fell
into thoughts.
Helpless, Leyla ignored my struggles and
dragged me out.
While dragging me, she muttered in
confusion, “How come you’re so thin? You’re
just a skeleton.”
I lowered my head, and the dark memories
almost engulfed me.
The cruel torture I suffered again and again in
prison was a devastating blow to me.
I was living in hell. How could I have an
appetite to eat?
The warden treated me like an animal. He
served me with rotten leaves and smelly meat.
Sometimes, he would even throw the meat he had just taken out of the freezer directly onto
the floor for me to eat.
I was so nauseous that I vomited. I couldn’t
eat at first.
The warden forcibly stuffed frozen meat into
my mouth and said, “Niko said that a bastard like you should look like a dog. Now that you’re here, do you still want to eat human
food like before?”
He fiercely pinched my face and spat, “Stop
daydreaming! You despicable dog.”
Later, I couldn’t care about it anymore, the
burning stomach pain made me compromise.
I was like a dog, squatting on the ground,
grabbing frozen meat, and stuffing it into my
mouth.
After eating, I vomited again.
The warden was standing next to me, filming
and laughing. “Niko, you and Conroy don’t
need to worry anymore. Look at him, he is no
longer the nobleman he used to be. He is just
a lowly dog!”
Sometimes, I couldn’t even get any food to
eat.
There were always inmates who changed
their attitude according to the situation, and they were all aware of the warden’s hostility
towards me.
Therefore, to please the prison warden and
get better treatment,
some inmates step on my food, while others
urinate on it.
It was common for me to go days without any
food and my stomach would hurt from
hunger.
With the warden’s praise, they could eat an
extra piece of meat, which made them more
motivated.
So, their torture of me was not limited to
starving me.
They punched and kicked me, threw my
blanket into the toilet, and pulled my hair at
night to prevent me from sleeping…
All kinds of torturous methods were used on
- me.
How could I not lose weight?
