\[Cali Core Prison\]
The room is tight, and people with claustrophobia probably won't survive even two minutes in here.
Ixora is the only one inside, and she's sitting on the bare ground, back on the wall.
Her orange-colored inmate uniform looks too bad on her, and her number 20 is glaring on the white back space.
They gave her a uniform with her age number, and it'd have been funny if she wasn't gonna sornd twenty years here.
It'd have been funny if her mum wouldn't land in coma cos she's very sure Stonia would go comatose.
It'd have been funny if Rafael wouldn't be running around by now, and it'd have been funny if Nadine wouldn't be crying in her room right now.
That tiny girl is always quich to cry so she can imagine her waterworks right now.
Her thoughts were interrupted when the door opened with a wild burst which slammed it against the wall, and someone entered.
A tattooed sweating girl who's number 21 on her uniform. She's holding an arrow which she already set, and she released it immediately she entered.
Ixora rolled away from her spot before it could reach her, and the girl laughed, nodding surprisingly.
She dropped the arrow and bow and began clapping.
"Whoa! You know archery? You know how to dodge arrow shots? Who taught you, liar!" She grabbed Ixora by the hair and slammed her head on the wall.
Ixora's eyes turned as blood bathed her face, but she didn't back down as she went for the girl, slamming her head on her stomach before kneeling her chin.
The girl staggered with bleeding nose, but she came back for her immediately, dragging her out of the room and throwing her out.
Ixora rolled out, of the inmates in the other rooms screamed out in excitement, chanting...
"Ixora!"
"Chicago!"
"Ixora!"
"Chicago!"
Chicago kicked Ixora with mad eyes, her chest looking like it's gonna burst with the way it's rising.
Ixora sat up before she could kick her again, then she raised her two legs, pushing Chicago's stomach.
Chicago almost fell as she staggered, and the inmates gasped.
"She's actually Chicago's match?"
"How come? Chicago has no match"
Chicago pulled a knife out of her pants and nearly stabbed her, but the guards rushed in and grabbed her.
"You're well aware that causing trouble before your release adds more months to your jail term, you'll be held back for almost a year!" The guards told her.
"I'm not interested in getting released anymore, let me stay in here and drag her into my world of hell" Chicago smirked, looking at Ixora who's just standing from the ground.
"Eyes on you, bîtch" she muttered, smiling poisonously as the guards took her away.
Ixora returned to her prison room as peace returned to that hall, and immediately she entered, two guards from that hall exchanged signals.

\[Next Day, Rikks Neighborhood\]
A young girl could be seen going from house to house, sharing sweets in a pink bowl and smiling as she handed them to the old neighbors.
The streets is underdeveloped, so mostly old poor people live there, and the girl just moved in.
"You really didn't have to share sweet" one of the women told her, and she chuckled.
"I'm from Itaewon, and we have an habit of sharing housewarming gifts for neighbors at new apartments, don't mind me" she said brightly.
"It's fine, and if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. Your name is Winter?" The old woman said.
"Yeah, and thank you. You're so kind" she smiled.
The woman eventually left for her apartment, and Winter entered her own one-room apartment at the rooftop, her smile disappearing.
"So many questions and talks" she hissed, throwing the plate of sweets on her bed.
"Can't believe I'll have to pretend to be poor! Gives me the ick!" She scratched her arm and walked past her long mirror.
When she saw her own face, she cringed, rolling eyes before slapping herself in the mirror.
"I'll never get used to this new unattractive face, never" she said, backing the mirror with a sigh.
"California, here I am with a new personality and face. Evelyn is back!!" She squealed.

\[Nadine's Place\]
Nadine hasn't come out of her own room since the court shit.
She sat at the foot of her bed, crying out her heart throughout.
Her eyes are even tired of crying and now they become painful anytime tears trickles out of them.
Her phone has been off, and her face has been between her thighs. She's running a high fever as her skin is so hot, but she's not even thinking about her own health right now.
The honking of a car outside made her stand weakly.
Must be her parents.
Must their yearly visit be by this time? It's wrong timing.
Nevertheless, she trudged out of the room and went downstairs, stepping out to open the gate.
The black car drove in, but instead of her parents, a tall, gallant... powerful-looking woman stepped out, her demeanor making her freeze.
She's wearing a long blazer, and a black hat over her short bob hair. Her face reminds her of someone, and she didn't even search her brain for long before detecting who .
Konstantin.
Konstantin is the carbon copy of this woman.
"You must have noticed your parents didn't come for their yearly visit since last year" the woman said, and her eyes widened.
She went closer.
"How did you know about my parents?"
"Cos they're in my underground prison in Russia" the woman replied blandly, and Nadine gasped.
