"Nandito na si Attorney Christine, Ma'am!" Her maid shouted to her office.

Nang bigyan ako ng go-signal ng maid nila ay ngumiti ako rito at pumasok sa office niya. Pugto man ang aking mga mata ngunit pinilit ko pa ring ngumiti nang makita si Jelsey. That smile faded when I saw a man sitting in a couch in front of Jelsey's desk.

I quickly changed my facade as I saw him. "What are you doing here?" I said in a deadpan face while asking the man. Nakalimutan ko na ngang batiin ng 'good morning' si Jelsey.

"Is there no hello kiss from you, Love?" He said, leering. "Para namang wala tayong pinagsamahan niyan." Ngumiti ito sa akin. Desente na ang hitsura nito kumpara sa huli kong kita sa kaniya.

He seemed very rich, but I only don't care. "Call me Attorney Villeza," Despite all the pain that I got from him three years ago, I decided to make this very professional. "What is your name?" I asked even if I already knew his goddamn name.

He smirked, "Anthony Sandoval, Atty. Villeza." He spat with enthusiasm.

I rolled my eyes at him and looked at Jelsey. Umupo ako malapit sa kaniya, ngunit malayo kay Anthony. "Why is this motherfvcker here?" I asked with disgust.

Jelsey chuckled. "Motherfvcker na pala ang tawag mo sa boyfriend mo----!"

"He was my ex-boyfriend, Jelsey." Pinagdiinan ko talaga 'yon sa kaniya. "Bakit nga 'yan nandito?"

"Well, he will be your next client. No pieces of evidence yet so he's free." Jelsey smiled. "He needs an attorney, Christine."

"Hell no!" Napatingin agad ako kay Anthony. "Bakit ko naman dedepensahan 'yang gagong 'yan? Mukha naman talagang mamamatay-tao! Sipain ko pa 'yan eh."

Anthony chuckled. "That's below the belt." He doesn't seem to be offended. Magaling lang mang-asar.

"Do you want me to cut that thing below your belt?" I rolled my eyes.

"If it means of you holding my dick again, then go on." Ngumisi itong muli at kumindat pa. Argh, nakakadiri ang puta!

"Fuck you, Anthony!" I swore while pointing my middle finger at him.

"Fuck me, huh?" He still kept his cool. "When, where, and how?"

"Grr!" I stood up and looked at Jelsey with my gritting teeth. "I will not defend this complete asshole!"

"Let me rephrase that." Napatingin ako kay Anthony na naglabas ng isang black briefcase. My eyes widened when I saw that it was full of money. Napatingin ako sa mukha niyang nakatingin sa akin. Gwapo nga ngunit 'di mapagkakailang gago. "Just defend me, Christine. Hindi totoo ang pinararatang nila sa'kin. I'll plea not guilty so please. . . I need you."

I could see the sincerity in his eyes. Nang tumingin ako kay Jelsey, gano'n na lang din ang tingin niya sa akin. "Think of your brother, Christine."

Muling pumasok sa aking isipan ang aking kapatid na si Jayron. As if on cue, my mom texted me and so I read it in my mind. "Nandito na ako sa hospital pagka-text mo pa lang sa akin kanina, Anak. Stable na ang lagay ni Jayron sa ngayon. . . pero lumala ang kalagayan niya."

Muling tumulo ang mga luha ko habang mahigpit ang aking pagkakahawak sa aking telepono. Napatingin ako sa sandamakmak na perang nakahain sa aking harapan. Napatingin din ako kay Jelsey.

Napatingin din ako kay Anthony.

I have no choice but to fight for my brother's life. Tutal kapag natapos ang case na 'to ay magkakahiwalay na rin kami ni Anthony at pipilitin kong hindi na siya makita muli. I just need this one-time big-time chance for my brother.

And I will also promise to myself that I will never fall for this bastard. Sa akin at sa pamilya ko lang ang puso ko. Hindi na ako magpapa-uto pa sa isang 'to gaya ng dati.

Kinuha ko ang briefcase na may pera mula kay Anthony. I composed myself and cleared my throat.

"When will I start defending you, Mr. Billionaire?"

***

In every evil, there's kindness and beauty in it. In every kindness, there's evil in it. But if you put this two together, you can create a balance team. Gaya na lang namin ni Jelsey. Swak na swak sa isa't-isa. Kaya masaya ako na makakasama ko siya ngayon sa kaso ni Sandoval. "Attorney Christine, Attorney Jelsey, pwede po ba namin kayo ma-interview?"

Si Jelsey na ang sumagot, "We're in a hurry. Please pave the way."

Dagsa ang media sa police station na pinagdalhan kay Anthony Sandoval, ang aming kliyente. He is now officially a defendant. . . pieces of evidence have been found that can say that he's guilty with murder and another serious physical injuries. Kaya ngayon, nabigyan na siya ng arrest warrant at dinala na sa presinto, na siya namang puno ng mga media na nakabuntot sa kaniya.

Napuno ng kotse ang harap ng police station kaya sa malayo pa kami nakapag-park ng mga kotse namin ni Jelsey. Mabuti na lang at binigyan kami ni Sandoval ng mga bodyguards, na sila ngayong humaharang sa mga gustong mag-interview sa amin. Malamang, kami ang dalawa sa mga kontrobersyal na abogado sa aming henerasyon. It's possible that it can happen every time.

"Pasensya na po, hindi talaga kami makapagbibigay ng impormasyon ngayon." I acquiesced.

"Totoo po bang murderer si Anthony Sandoval?!"
