Chapter 587 Atonement

• "Yes!" Anthony's voice rang out, sharp and unwavering, cutting through the thick silence. "He doesn't want you out. But hiding in here won't fix a d*mn thing. If you keep this up, you'll die behind these walls. Listen to me—sign the papers, get out, and face what you've done. You have to make things right."
• Britney, standing just behind him, her face drawn but determined, added her voice, steady and soft yet full of purpose. "One day, Joshua might get married, and have kids of his own.

Don't stay locked away in here."
