The police took Michael to the station. He was asked to take off his clothes and some pair of green trousers and shirt were given to him.
Michael took the clothes and changed and he was taken to the cell where he was with other criminals like him. There were five hefty men in the cell and one of them walked up to meet him. Michael did his best not to interact with any of them. He wasn't in the mood to make trouble with anyone but it seems those men in the cell were in for trouble.
The man walked up to him and got down to his level, "We heard what you did and I would love to applaud you for that but what I don't understand is why you decided to come clean knowing well that you'd be sent to jail."
Michael didn't respond to the man. He was listening to every words he said but he didn't lwt it bother him.
"You know, I would love to see that lady and f**k her till she..."
Michael didn't let him finish his words when he punched the man on the face, making the man to stumble.
The man got up and the four other men who saw what had happened to their boss ran to meet Michael.
"Talk about her like that again and..." A punch landed on his stomach before he coulf finish his words.
"How dare you lay your hands on the boss?" The second-in-command asked as he grabbed Michael's head and pushed it against the bars of iron of the cell. Michael's head hit the iron and he fell to the ground. The rest of the men kept punching and kicking his stomach until Michael started bleeding and vomiting blood.
"You are a fool." The first man he punched spat on him before leaving him alone.
Michael held his stomach as he tried to sit up but the pain from the stomach, up to his chest hurt so bad that he was having difficulty breathing.
The prison guard came to check up on the criminals in the cells. He saw Michael bleeding but he didn't care and walked away. It was at this moment Michael knew he was paying for his crime.

Diego and Kelvin came over to Nora's house to check up on her. While Sara was in the kitchen preparing a meal for them, Diego and Kelvin were talking to Nora.
"How are you feeling?" Diego asked.
"I don't know, Diego." Nora answered.
"You have to know," Diego told her. "How did you feel when you saw the video?"
"I was shocked, dumbfounded and there was this mixed feelings I had. I couldn't tell if I was happy or sad. I just don't know, Diego... I really don't know." she used her hands to cover her face as she tried to hold back her tears.
"Do you still love him?" The question made Nora to look at Kelvin. "Do you think he has a chance in your life? Do you have a tiny feelings for him?"
Nora shook her head. She felt she didn't need to think it through before answering. "I don't. The hatred and anger are still deep in..."
"Michael asking you for a second chance, would you give it to him?"
Diego noticed that Kelvin was asking all these questions because he needed to know if he still had a chance with her but then, the question was becoming too much.
"Is he the only one you see?" He was about to go on with more questions but Diego stopped him.
"That's enough, Kelvin." Diego turned to Nora and said, "Nora, I want you to look deep inside your heart right now and find out how you truly feel about Michael because if you ask me based on everything you have said, I would say that you still have a string of attraction for him. The love you thought was dead wasn't really dead but it was buried." He held her hand and continued, "If Michael has really changed as we all believe he has, why don't you consider giving him another chance?"
"I will not support this," Sara said as she took off her apron and came to meet them. "I am sorry but I just can't keep silence anymore." She turned to Nora, "Do I need to remind you the pain Michael has caused you?" she asked. "What about your brother? If Michael had not kidnapped you, your brother would still be alive. I don't trust him one bit. He might be doing this to get under your skirt or who knows, all he might be after might be the child. I think you should do away with him and move on with your life. If there is one person that deserves to have you, it's Kelvin. He has been there for you through thick and thin. He has shown his love to you in diverse ways, why are you so blind to see it? If you want to go back to Michael, you are free to but I just know that I am not in support of this." She stood up and went to the kitchen to continue with the meal.
"Nora," Kelvin called. Nora's eyes were already red from crying. She looked at him and he came closer and held her hand. "I do love you so much and I am ready to take care of you and the child. Michael isn't the right one for you. Think about the pain he has caused you, why would you want to end up with such monster?"
"People change." Nora told Kelvin but Kelvin disagreed.
"Michael and I have been best friends for a very long time and I am telling you that he is just doing this to get you and after he has gotten you, he would go back to who he used to be and you will be left alone. I don't want..."
"What makes you think you can give my baby and I the happinesss we need?" Nora asked.
"Nora,"
"I want to be left alone," She got up from the chair, went into her room and slammed the door.
"Kelvin, Sara, I would suggest that you both leave Nora to decide who she wants to spend the rest of her life with, we can't decide for her whom to choose. She is smart and I know she will make the right choice."
