The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 1058

"Because less than twenty-four hours after you were arrested, someone walked in and burned every single thing in that room to ash."

All the color vanished from Fitch's face in an instant.

His eyes bulged in absolute horror. "That's impossible!"

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

Ethan let out a dark chuckle.

"I assure you, I'm not making this up."
