Life After Prison

Severin’s head was buzzing. He could not believe that he had a child, and wondered if that chubby and adorable girl named Selene was his daughter.

“That little girl…is my daughter?” Severin shook his head and found it hard to believe.

Diane walked up to Severin and gritted her teeth. All the suffering she had experienced in the past five years were concentrated into the tears that welled up in her eyes. She slapped Severin without hesitation and said, “You b*stard! Don’t you remember what happened the night before you were apprehended? Do you have any idea what I had to go through in the past five years, and how much anguish I had to bear?”

Severin was so dumbstruck that he did not even stop her slap. He could feel just how hard it was for a daughter of an aristocratic family to be kicked out of her home whilst being pregnant with a baby. It was likely that she had gone through the nine-month pregnancy alone, with no one to even Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

care for her.

Her life was already hard enough, yet she still gave money to his parents during the past few years. The sum that she gave them every month was probably all her hard-earned money from delivering food!

At long last, Severin finally remembered what happened on the night before he was apprehended.

That night, he had knocked Easton unconscious after smashing the beer bottle over Easton’s head.

Shocked by what he had done, he ran out immediately because he knew that he would be in for trouble. Panic-stricken and terrified, he finally found himself at a bar after wandering around in a doozy.

Once he went in, he drank like there was no tomorrow and numbed himself with alcohol in the hopes that he would forget everything when he woke up.

Sometime later, a beautiful woman who seemed to be in a bad mood came in. She sat across from him, and the of them clinked glasses while drinking together without even asking for each other’s names.

As they drank and drank, they got so wasted that they had to help each other decided to head out and get a room at the hotel next door.

Severin woke up in a haze the next day, and it was then that he realized that they were both completely naked. There was blood on the sheets too. He could not remember who took the initiative in the end, because his memory was fragmented and he had no recollection of how he even ended up at the hotel.

After the woman woke up, she immediately turned around and told him coldly that he could get out. At that time, he thought to himself that nothing would happen to her since she must have just wanted to get laid.

Once he went downstairs, he was immediately arrested and sent to prison. Before going to prison, however, he was fortunate enough to see Lucy for the last time, and that was when she told him that he would wait for him to come out.

Back in prison, Severin felt that he had let Lucy down due to what happened after he got drunk. that night. He even vowed to treat Lucy well and give her everything he had once he was released. Unbeknownst to him, Lucy had already cheated on him barely a few months into his sentence, while

the woman whose face he had forgotten and whose name he did not even know, was pregnant with his child after that night and kept the baby.

Yet, despite all the suffering she had gone through, she still went all the way to the Richemont Hotel just to save him.

He could tell that Diane was a kind and strong woman because otherwise, she would not been so determined to carry her growing fetus to term and raise the child as a single mother. Had she not been a genuinely good person, she would not have sent money to Severin’s parents because she could not bear to see them being harassed all the time.

“Aren’t you supposed to hate me? Why would you come here and save me?” Severin could not understand why she took the initiative to save him when she had called him as a jerk not too long

ago.

When Diane heard that, she laughed in spite of herself, “Don’t read too much into this and make some sort of assumption that I’m in love with you. The only reason I came to save you is because I don’t want Selene to lose her father. She’s been looking forward to seeing him since she was still a toddler. She needs fatherly love and affection. Do you understand?”
