Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206

054

“I’m going to jail because your daughter is a drunk driving murder….I think that’s enough.‘”

She turned and walked away before Harold could say anything. There was slight guilt in his heart. Had he really just traded one daughter for the other. Just as he was about to go after Josie, Vanessa grabbed his hand.

“Oh daddy, I’m sure she’s going to be fine.”

Harold turned to his daughter and smiled. Later than evening the cops came and arrested Josie. Per her father and brother, she decided to plead guilty rather than go to trial hoping she would only get the minimum. But Josie didn’t get the minimum, the family of the victim was outraged and

expressed their disdain at the hearing. To make an example out her, the judge gave Josie the max.

Four years.

Josie’s entire face paled, she has never even been suspended from school and now she would have to do four years!!! In a panic, she turned to her family, he father immediately jumped up.

“Just do the time!!! It’s only four years! Look, I’ll begin your grandmother’s treatment as soon as they

take you in.”

There it was again, the dangling of her grandmother. Tears started the fall down Josie’s face, all her plans, her future, her dreams…gone. She dug into her picket and pulled out a piece of paper handing it to her father.

“What’s this?”

“It’s a list of three things I need guaranteed since I’m doing this.”

Puzzled, Harold opened the list. There were things Josie demanded: that they visit her every month, put money on her books, and of course, the most important thing…take care of her grandmother.

Harold eagerly shook his head.

“Don’t worry Josie! I’ll make sure to follow this!”

But that turned out to be a lie.

On Josie’s first night in the tombs, she was immediately bullied. The three cellmates in her cell; told her if she didn’t buy them certain products; they would beat her up.

Chapter 206

“A little rich bitch like you should be able to afford it.”

Is what the ringleader Tammy said. Commissary was purchased every Sunday. That morning. Josie quickly ran up to the counter to place her order; she’d already informed her family of the day. But when the clerk went to charge her account, she learned there was no money.

“What!!! No!! That has to be a mistake!! Check it again!!!”

Josie began to panic! How could her account be empty!!!

“Look girl, there is no mistake. Ain’t no money on your account. Call you family if you have too.”

Josie frantically ran over to payphone to call her father, but when the voice recording came through; it informed her the receiver WOULD NOT accept the charges. Josie’s face turned ashen. She hadn’t even been there a week, and already he’d reneged. That night, the cellmates beat Josie so bad she ended up in the infirmary.

Years of this abuse went on, and not once did her account ever get filled, not once did her family ever visit, and she was sure they didn’t take care of her grandmother.

That theory was confirmed the one time Vanessa came to visit.

“Oh wow!! You look so different sister!”

Josie had already been in prison for over three years. She was no longer the person she was when she first went in. Vanessa, however, looked vibrant and beautiful. Wearing the latest fashion, she smiled brightly. Josie didn’t say a word.

“Oh! Are you sick? Well…anyway, I just came to tell you…your nana died. Like two weeks ago. She was sick or something. Anyway…her ashes are still at the hospital! I told them to leave them there so you can hold a service for her when you get out. Wasn’t that nice of me!”

Josie’s entire world went dark…everything she did was for her grandmother!!! She never even got the chance to say goodbye!!! And now…she was dead. Josie couldn’t even respond. She just stood up and left, leaving Vanessa smiling smugly.

After her release, she would make sure that smile never formed on her lips again.
