Chapter 14

The clock slowly ticks than its usual pace. A quick glance lands on his watch,laying on his back on the prison bed staring at the ceiling. Alonso’s words circulates around the corners of the small room. His face pulls at the thought of Alonso possibly liking her. Vivid images of him manipulating her body like playing with strings on a guitar tenses him, her soft touch embedded under his skin and her pure eyes begging him to hold her—

“That damn woman! She managed to fool Alonso but not me.” Closing his eyes, he reminisces.

Rose on the other hand is standing at the window of the guest room. She can’t stomach the thought that he is confined like some degenerate. But why Rose? She should be glad he is locked up. . .Judging from her stooped head,not so much.

A melancholic wind is encircling her. Lost, nothing appears to be meaningful. The exchange of terrible words and shouting is rather more bearable than his absence. “Big jerk—” She places a hand over her aching chest.
