"It can't be happening. How did things turn so bad?"
Mia frantically tried to dash out but was swiftly restrained by several individuals.
She overheard the lawyer discussing with someone nearby, "Aggravated assault, transfer to a maximum-security prison..." The words echoed in her head like a harsh reality check.
Her pupils contracted sharply, and her mind felt like it was splitting apart. Her brother was signing her death warrant by having her thrown into a maximum-security prison. How long could she last among those hardened criminals? The thought alone petrified her.
She couldn't face that.
"I was wrong, I truly didn't mean it. Please, call my brother. It was an accident, I swear."
Mia knelt, her head touching the cold floor repeatedly in desperation.
However, the lawyer and his team paid her no heed, proceeding with the formalities of handing her over to the police.
Tears streamed down Mia's face as she helplessly watched them.
Until a pair of polished shoes came to a halt in front of her. She looked up to see the lead lawyer crouching down, his tone light but chilling.
"Miss Mia, being transferred to a maximum-security prison was Mr. Haskins' directive. You're aware of the kind of people housed there. At best, you'll last a few months before your sanity begins to wane. If you're still alive after a year, we might consider moving you to a psychiatric facility. Enjoy this journey, not every convict gets the opportunity to experience a maximum-security prison."
He patted her cheek mockingly as if she were a misbehaving pet.
Mia's temper flared.
"Get away from me! Who do you think you are to talk to me like that? Call my brother, I need to speak to him! You must have overstepped your bounds!"
The man sighed, stood up, and walked away without hesitation.
"Come back! Please, I'm truly sorry. I shouldn't have lashed out. I'm sorry, really sorry."
As the man and his team left without looking back, Mia's fear became palpable, her legs giving out beneath her.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
