"Whoa! I'm free at last!" Alexander Davies screamed excitedly with his face to the heavens. After taking a deep long breath, he turned around to look at the prison where he had been incarcerated for four long years. He backed up while vowing never to return to this place.
In a taxi on the way back to Nuledo, Alexander fiddled with the ring on his finger as he recalled Willard Edwards' last words to him before he was let out of prison.
"Make sure you keep the ring safe. Two months later, take it to Dragon Island."
Although Alexander had spent a lot of time with Willard while in prison and also learned a lot of things from him, he still didn't know much about the man.
Why was this ring so special that Willard gave it to him with such instructions? Where was Dragon Island? Willard hadn't sat him down to explain this clearly.
All that old man did was throw the ring and a medical book to him just when it was time for him to leave.
Several minutes later, the taxi came to a stop in front of a gated and beautifully decorated community. Alexander picked up his shabby backpack and got out.
Alexander's heart became heavier as he walked to the house that was ingrained in his memory. Mixed feelings surged inside him when he finally came to the door.
Over four years ago, at a graduation party, Sharon Wilson was drugged and almost raped.
Alexander had shown up just as the rapist was about to take advantage of her. Without thinking twice, he knocked out the man and saved Sharon.
Little did Alexander know that the man he knocked out was Victor Johnson, heir of the Johnson family.
The Johnson family was one of the third-tier families in Nuledo. Although Alexander's father also had a company, that didn't make him half as wealthy or powerful as the Johnsons.
Instead of getting rewarded for his good deed, Alexander was framed and sent to prison for four years. It was pretty easy for the Johnson family to do that.
Sharon was not ungrateful, which brought much relief to Alexander.
When she learned that Alexandra was going to be sentenced to prison, she promised him amidst tears that she would wait for him to get out and marry him no matter how long it would take.
Thinking of his fiancee, whom he hadn't seen for four years, Alexander was extremely excited.
"Sharon! Not to worry, I'll make sure no one bullies us from now on," Alexander vowed silently with determination.
He was just about to knock on the door when a moan came from inside.
"Easy there, honey. Don't rub it so hard. Remember the wedding is tomorrow. If you ruin my dress, what will I wear? Be patient. You can fuck me while I'm still in this dress tomorrow night. How does that sound?"
Standing outside the door, Alexander couldn't believe his ears.
The coquettish voice sounded just like that of Sharon—the woman he had been thinking of day and night for the past four years.
"No, it can't be her!" Alexander kicked the door open, hoping that his fiancee wasn't in there.
The sight that greeted him the next second sent him staggering a little.
A woman was in a white full dress as she lay entangled in bed with a man.
