    As the prison guard called her number, she could feel her heart start to race. Finally, after spending for years in prison for vehicr homicide, Josie Taylor was finally being released. As she gathered her things, the guard Lawrence Tillman smiled greasily at her.


    <i>“</i>Emm…I’m <i>sure </i><i>going </i><i>to </i><i>miss </i><i>you </i><i>Taylor</i><i>. </i><i>You and </i><i>our </i><i>‘</i><i>special</i>‘ <i>meetings</i>.”


    His words burned like acid in her mind. Those ‘special meetings‘, were the beginnings of her hell and


    torture at this hellhole they called prison.


    She looked at Tillman with hatred in her eyes saying nothing.


    “Oh<i>…</i><i>don’t </i>look <i>at </i><i>me </i><i>like </i><i>that</i>. <i>Afterall</i>…<i>you </i><i>never </i><i>forget </i><i>your </i><i>first </i><i>right</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>


    To that, she smiled. He was right. she wouldn’t forget…she wouldn’t forget how he beat her and held her down as he brutally assualted her almost every night, destroying any chances of her having a <fnc3cd> For original chapters go to Find~Novel</fnc3cd>


    normal level of intimacy. She’d make sure to thank for him for it properly.


    As she walked to the front to receive her exit pass, the clerk Elma looked at her with pity. Out of everyone here, she was the only person that ever treated Josie like a human. After handing her the pass, she smiled warmly.


    <i>“</i><i>Good </i><i>luck </i><i>child</i><i>. </i><i>I </i><i>know </i><i>life </i><i>hasn’t </i><i>exactly </i><i>been </i><i>easy </i><i>for </i><i>you </i><i>here </i><i>but</i>…it’s <i>nothing </i><i>you </i><i>can </i><i>do </i><i>about </i><i>that </i><i>now </i><i>except </i><i>move </i><i>forward</i><i>. </i><i>Maybe </i><i>that </i><i>was </i><i>your </i><i>way </i><i>of </i><i>atoning </i><i>for </i><i>your </i><i>sins</i>. <i>Just </i><i>make </i><i>sure </i><i>you </i><i>try </i><i>to </i>make <i>something </i>of <i>yourself</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    “<i>Thank </i><i>you </i><i>Elma</i><i>. </i><i>I </i><i>hope </i><i>you </i><i>have </i><i>a </i><i>good </i><i>life</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    She smiled at Josie with guilt in her eyes.


    That <i>‘</i>not <i>so </i>easy <i>life</i>‘. It consisted of multiple beatings, sexual assualt, trips to the infirmary, and ced in the ck hole.


    As far as not being able to do anything about it…well that’s where she was wrong. Very soon, Josie would make sure every person that tried to destroy her pay dearly.


    And as for atonement….She didn’t have shit to atone for. The charged Josie served time for…she wasn’t the perpetrator…she just took the fall. The real culprit was her adoptive sister…Vanessa

    Taylor.


    (32)


    As she exited the prison the sun hit her eyes hard almost blinding her. It had been so long since she was out in fresh air and sunlight. Over the past four years, there seemed to always be a reason to throw Josie in the hole; and that was when she wasn’t in the infirmary. As she made her way out the gate, she noticed a ck luxury SUV parked across the street. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out who it was<b>… </b>


    Her brother…Christian Taylor.


    As she began to walk down the street, Josie could hear his car door m.


    <i>“</i><i>Just </i><i>what </i>the hell <i>do </i><i>you </i><i>think </i><i>you’re </i><i>doing</i>!<i>” </i>


    He barked at her as she made her way down the street. Hearing his words, Josie paused and turned around. Christian was storming across the street, irritation in his eyes. As he grew closer, his


    eyebrows began to furrow.


    ‘<i>What </i><i>the </i><i>hell</i><i>. </i><i>Why </i><i>does </i><i>she </i><i>look </i><i>like </i><i>that</i><i>?</i><i>‘ </i>


    Josie had always been beautiful. Her skin was a beautiful caramelplexion, her thick long hair had natural honey blonde highlights, her figure, although petite was curvaceous and full. She had light freckles around her nose and dimples on her cheeks. She had light brown eyes that sparkled in the sun and long beautiful eyshes. Josie always seemed like she had a natural brightness to herself. But now, now she looked dull and worn out. Her skin was pale, and her eyes had dark circles. Her hair was dry and ky and her eyes…her eyes no longer shined brightly.


    As she turned around slowly she looked at Christian as if he were a distant stranger.


    ‘Why is she <i>looking </i><i>at </i>me <i>like </i><i>this</i><i>?</i>”


    Christian began to feel awkward; Josie had always looked at him with admiration. Over the years, she did everything she could to please her big brother. But now, now she looked as if she didn’t even know him. The thought gave Chrisitan an unsettling feeling.


    <i>“</i><i>Can </i>I <i>help </i><i>you </i><i>Mr. </i><i>Taylor</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>


    Christian’s eyes widen, ‘<i>Did </i>she just call me <i>Mr. </i><i>Taylor</i><i>?</i>‘ Irritated, he scoffed.


    <i>“</i><i>Look</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>have </i>time for <i>your </i>foolishness today<i>. </i>Get in the car so we can go home.”


    <b>32 </b>


    <i>‘</i><i>Home</i><i>‘</i><i>, </i>the word almost sounded hysterical to Josie. She didn’t have a home…at least not with them. If it wasn’t for her having to get some items from that house, she would never have stepped foot on the Taylor estate ever again. Josie looked over at Christian’s SUV and then back at him.


    “No thank you <i>Mr. </i><i>Taylor</i>…<i>I’d </i><i>rather </i><i>catch </i><i>the </i><i>bus</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Christian immediately grew irritated. ‘<i>What </i><i>the </i><i>hell </i><i>is </i><i>with </i><i>this </i><i>attitude</i><i>!!</i>‘


    <i>“</i><i>I </i><i>see </i><i>four </i><i>years </i><i>in </i><i>prison </i><i>has </i><i>taught </i><i>you </i><i>nothing</i><i>! </i><i>Get </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>got </i>damn <i>car </i>Josie<i>!</i><i>” </i>


    Josie stared at Christian with a nk expression.


    <i>“</i>I’m <i>not </i><i>sure </i><i>what </i><i>lesson </i><i>you </i><i>expected </i><i>me </i><i>to </i><i>learn </i><i>in </i><i>prison</i>…<i>other </i><i>than </i><i>to </i><i>not </i><i>take </i><i>the fall </i><i>for </i><i>someone </i>


    <i>else’s </i><i>crime</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Christian’s eyes widen, a tinge of guilt not on his face. He was aware that Josie only went to prison to cover for Vanessa; in fact, he was one of the people that forced her to do it. Softening his tone, he


    began to speak.


    <i>“</i><i>Josie</i><i>…</i><i>just </i><i>get </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>car</i>. <i>Everyone </i><i>is </i><i>waiting </i><i>to </i><i>see </i><i>you</i><i>. </i><i>They’ve </i><i>all </i><i>missed </i><i>you</i>.<b>” </b>


    Josie had to hold her breath to stop fromughing aloud. What a crock of shit. If they all missed her


    so much, why hadn’t any of them visited her. Unmoved, Josie looked up at Christian once more.


    <i>“</i><i>You’ll </i><i>forgive </i><i>me </i><i>if </i><i>I </i><i>find </i><i>it </i><i>difficult </i>to <i>believe </i><i>anyone </i><i>in </i><i>that </i><i>family </i><i>‘</i><i>missed</i>‘ <i>me</i><i>. </i><i>Regardless </i><i>however, </i><i>I’d </i>


    <i>rather </i><i>take </i><i>the </i><i>bus</i>. <i>Thank </i><i>you </i><i>Mr. </i><i>Tay-</i>”


    “Stop <i>calling </i><i>me </i><i>Mr. </i><i>Taylor</i>!!”


    Christian’s patience was running thin. Why was she acting so distant?


    “What <i>else </i><i>would </i><i>you </i><i>have </i><i>me </i><i>call you</i><i>? </i><i>Your </i><i>father </i>announced <i>to </i>the <i>press </i><i>a </i>week <i>after </i>my <i>arrest </i><i>that </i><i>I </i>was no <i>longer </i><i>apart </i><i>of </i><i>the </i><i>Taylor </i><i>n</i><i>. </i><i>Therefore</i><i>, </i><i>you’re </i>no longer my brother.”


    Christian paused, it was true…his father had announced parental separation from Josie Taylor to the press; but that was only because he didn’t want to lose any of his board members or funding. Surely


    she understood that?


    <i>“</i><i>Josie</i><i>, </i><i>that </i><i>was </i><i>just </i><i>a </i><i>formality</i>. After <i>everything </i><i>calms </i><i>down</i>…dad <i>will </i>announce-”


    “No <i>need</i><i>. </i><i>You </i><i>never </i><i>know </i><i>when </i><i>the board </i><i>may </i><i>threaten </i><i>him </i>again. <i>Anyway</i><i>, </i><i>I’ll </i><i>be </i><i>on </i><i>my </i><i>way</i><i>.</i>”


    “<i>Josie</i>…I’m <i>warning </i>you<i>! </i>Get <i>in </i><i>the </i><i>fuckin-</i>”


    :


    <b>32 </b>


    <i>“</i><i>I </i>don’t <i>take </i>kindly to threats anymore <i>Mr. </i><i>Taylor</i><i>. </i><i>Please </i><i>do </i><i>well </i>to remember <i>that</i>. <i>And </i><i>if </i><i>you </i><ie </i>any closer<i>, </i>I’ll make <i>sure </i>to scream <i>at </i><i>the </i>top of <i>my </i><i>lungs </i><i>that </i><i>you’re </i><i>kidnapping </i>me. I <i>don’t </i><i>think </i><i>that </i><i>will </i>be a good look for <i>the </i>board either<i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Christian was stunned! Never had Josie talk to him this way. She had always been so sweet, her voice


    like sugar. Now, it was filled with contempt and disdain. Fed up with her attitude, Christian decided


    to leave.


    “Fine! <i>See </i><i>if </i><i>I </i><i>give </i>a <i>shit </i><i>how </i><i>you </i><i>get </i><i>home</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    Josie didn’t say a word. She just turned around and continued her walk.


    Shocked by herck of emotion, Christian stalked back to his car.
