"I'm here to see Frank." Lydia slipped her hands into the pockets of her trench coat, her eyes fixed on the cold iron bars lining the hallway of the detention center.
Byron made a clicking noise with his tongue as he flipped through the logbook. "Frank? He's a regular here. Just two days ago, he stirred up a mess with his crew, had the whole place in chaos."
"I just need to ask him a couple of questions."
"Alright, I'll take you over."
Byron led Lydia toward the cells. As the heavy gate groaned open, a wave of sweat and disinfectant hit them.
Inside Frank's cell, a group of tattooed guys sat together, heads close in conversation. When Lydia walked in, their eyes lit up with a mix of excitement and something hungrier.
One of them, seeing Byron right behind her, grinned. "What’s this, we got a new roommate?"
It was clear none of them expected a girl as young as Lydia, to show up in a place like this.
One guy licked his lips, a sleazy smile spreading across his face as he nudged his friend. "Fellas, check this out. Where’d this little beauty come from? Did the universe finally decide to cut us a break?"
A guy with a mohawk chimed in, "Byron, you bringing us someone this pretty… man, we must be living right."
Their laughter bounced off the cramped walls, their words hanging in the air like something rotten.
Byron's expression hardened. He stepped forward and slammed his foot into the metal bunk, the bang echoing through the cell. The room went dead silent.
"Enough. Not another word." Byron’s voice was sharp and loud, making everyone flinch. "She’s one of us. She’s here for an investigation. If I hear one more word, you’ll be spending every day locked up alone, understand?"

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
