Let's continue part two of Official's story:

Official never expected a simple Facebook post to change her life. What started as a friendship with a man she believed only had a short time left in his bid turned into something much deeper. But a shocking discovery made her question everything she thought she knew: he wasn't locked up for robbery and he didn't only have a few years left...

Through her own research, Official found the evidence of his innocence, but freedom remained just out of reach. As his release day approached, tensions grew and trust wavered, setting the stage for a rocky reunion and further disappointment as his days free increased and the test of their love grew more and more difficult to pass.

In part one of Official's story, hear her open up about love, betrayal, and fighting for what she loved where very few would.
