Chapter 2: The Prisoner Who Was Never Supposed to Survive

The first year was simple.

Survive.

The second year was harder.

Forget who I was.

By the third year…

I stopped being someone’s husband.

Stopped being someone’s partner.

Stopped being a name.

Because in prison, names don’t matter.

Power does.

And someone noticed me.

A man in Cell Block C.

He watched everything.

Didn’t speak much.

Just observed.

One night, he finally said:

“You’re not supposed to be here.”

I laughed bitterly.

“Tell that to the judge.”

He shook his head.

“No.”

A pause.

“You’re on the wrong side of a corporate purge.”

I froze.

“What are you talking about?”

He leaned closer.

And whispered:

“You didn’t commit a crime.”

“You were removed.”

That was the first time I felt fear again.

Not fear of prison.

Fear of truth.
