Why did they get to be out there, laughing and partying, while she was trapped in this hellhole?

Lydia’s outburst didn’t just wreck her own cell–her tantrum splashed water and filth onto the two bunks beside hers.

Her cellmates, who had just come back from work duty, were instantly furious.

“Damn it! You still think you’re some spoiled princess?” one of them shouted. “You don’t get to throw a tantrum in here!”

A storm of fists and kicks came flying at her.

Dragging her injured leg, Lydia screamed and dodged as best as she could, her mind seething with hatred.

The Lancasters are all useless! Useless trash!

If they could pull strings to reduce my sentence, then why couldn’t they move me to a better prison? Why are they just letting me rot here?

Do they think Claudia has found someone powerful enough to protect them now? Or do they simply think I am worthless?

Ridiculous! Claudia would never turn back!

And they would never be free of me either!

Rage burned through Lydia’s chest like a raging inferno. She hated the Lancasters, and she hated Jasper even more.

Ever since she’d been locked up, he hadn’t visited once.

But she didn’t know the truth. After Lydia caused Claudia’s car accident and ruined her dream, Jasper had helped her one last time–only because Preston once saved his life. After that, they were done. Still, the Lancasters had quietly sent people to smooth things over for her.

With her background and her short sentence, it would’ve been easy to transfer her to a better single cell.

But there was one problem–Claudia’s business partner, Mandy, had made sure that didn’t happen.

The prison guards had already “accidentally” broken one of Lydia’s legs, supposedly as part of a deal. They pretended to follow orders from the Lancasters, but in reality, they ignored every

On top of that, Sterling had personally arranged for people to “keep an eye on her.” So Lydia’s time behind bars was pure torture.

The Lancasters noticed she was growing thinner and more unhinged, but they didn’t know why. They only felt disgust and exhaustion.

The once–harmonious family–except for Claudia–was now falling apart completely.

Meanwhile, over at the Fenton Residence, Jasper received two things that day. A high school reunion invitation and a cold order from his mother, Sylvia–she wanted him to go on a blind date.

Jasper’s jaw dropped. “Mom, are you insane?”

He and Lydia weren’t officially divorced yet, so it felt wrong. Besides, he’d said it many times- he would never marry anyone except Claudia.

-why

“Insane?” Sylvia’s laugh was sharp. “No, Jasper. You’re the one who’s lost his mind. Tell me- did you send people to spy on Sterling?”

Jasper’s lips tightened.

Sterling’s reputation was impressive, and Jasper never planned to hurt him. He just didn’t believe a man like Sterling could be completely flawless.

If he could find even the tiniest crack, he might have a chance to break him and Claudia apart.

The hospital miscarriage scare had turned out to be a misunderstanding, but it reminded him that if he didn’t act soon, Claudia would be gone for good.

He couldn’t stand the thought of the woman he’d guarded for 20 years ending up in another man’s arms.

Just imagining Claudia pregnant with Sterling’s child–or seeing her with a little boy who looked like him–made Jasper feel like he was losing his mind.
