CHAPTER 3 â âThe Prison Was Never a Prisonâ

The alarms screamed louder.
Every inmate backed away from Ethan like he was no longer human.
The wardenâs face turned pale.
âYou were supposed to break,â he whispered.
Ethan wiped blood from his lip and looked around the arena.
âNo,â he said. âI was supposed to make you confess.â
Then every screen inside the prison flickered on.
Hidden camera footage appeared.
Guards taking bribes.
Prisoners being forced into death fights.
The warden shaking hands with criminal bosses.
And finallyâŠ
A video of Ethanâs mother.
She wasnât dead.
She was chained inside a secret medical room beneath the prison.
Ethanâs calm expression cracked for the first time.
The warden smiled again.
âYou found the truth too late.â
Suddenly, armed men in black uniforms stormed the arena.
But they werenât there to rescue Ethan.
They were there to kill him.
