Chapter 164 I Didn't Want To Admit My Fears

• Maxwell’s POV:
• I was alone in my cell, reflecting on my life. Thoughts of defeat flooded my mind and made me quite sad, but I had to shake off those thoughts quickly, I wasn’t going to let depression set in. Being suicidal was not even an option, I had a lot to live for. I still wanted to enjoy life for as long as possible. Of course, I wasn’t happy that I had to spend so much time in a confined space, away from a job I loved, and my family. But then, it is what it is, right? I had to be strong for myself and think of any other possible means to leave this horrible place. The charges were so much that I wondered if they would ever let me go. But then, I wasn’t willing to spend a large chunk of my youthful age in prison. No, I couldn’t bring myself to accept that. My ongoing projects in Scarsdale needed supervision and funding. Staying in prison without getting bullied also required money. I had spent so much money in the last six months and nothing had come in. I knew I needed to do something, but I had to be careful who I’d trust this time because I was being closely monitored.
• Laura was quick to betray me after I left for an urgent business meeting. After we had an intimate moment, she made me believe she still loved me and could handle things in my absence, and my crazy security guys let their guard down. I already figured out how she’d pay for crossing me, but the most important thing at this point was getting out without my enemies finding out. I didn’t care if I had to play dead and go somewhere else where no one knew me.
