They Sent Me To Prison To Silence Me—But My Ultimate Revenge Began In The Yard

The tables turn

Jax’s mocking smile slowly faded, replaced by a dark, dangerous scowl. He leaned in closer, his massive chest nearly touching Elena’s shoulder.

"What did you just say to me?"

he growled, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers down the spines of the nearby inmates.

"I said, Richard played you," Elena whispered, keeping her eyes fixed on his. "He told you I was the accountant who stole your family's money. But the truth is, Richard has it. All fifty million. I have the offshore routing numbers memorized. If I die, that money vanishes forever, and Richard wins."

The silence that followed was absolute. The inmates watched in disbelief as the giant of the yard stood frozen, his eyes darting across Elena’s face, searching for any sign of a lie. He saw only cold, hard certainty. Jax knew his brother had been murdered over that missing money. Now, the woman sent to him as a target was holding the key to the truth.

Before Jax could respond, the heavy steel doors of the main building burst open. Four guards, armed with riot shotguns, marched into the yard, led by the Warden himself. The Warden's face was pale, his eyes locked onto Elena. Richard’s influence reached deep into Blackwood, and the Warden had been ordered to ensure Elena was placed in permanent solitary confinement—where she would never be heard from again.

"Inmate Miller! Step away from Jax and put your hands on your head!" the Warden barked, his hand trembling near his holster.

Elena didn't move. She looked up at Jax. "If they take me, we both lose," she murmured.

Jax looked at the approaching guards, then down at Elena. The colossal man made his choice. He stepped in front of her, his massive frame shielding her from the Warden's view.

"She stays with me,"

Jax bellowed, his voice echoing like thunder. The yard erupted into chaos as the guards raised their weapons, red sniper dots dancing across Jax's chest.
