Chapter 11
THIS DAY is the day I have been waiting for. I didn't had a good sleep last night thinking about this day. Because today I'm going to meet the family of my client, the Complaints of Dante Solomon Cartiño. I ready myself for this. And I would not let that rapist to have his freedom again. Not this time. After all, this is the reason why I chose to be a lawyer. I invested a lot for this. I studied so hard just to be in this position.
Even though some people are telling me that justice is impossible in this country, I didn't listen to them because I do believe that I can get that in my own. I continue to believe on the beauty of my life goals. There is nothing impossible in this world, and no one can pull you down on the ladder if you are doing things with purpose. Especially if you put God in the center of everything. I looked at myself in front of the full length mirror and managed my white collar.
Growing up being a lawyer is not on my drea

Chapter 12 "HEY, love. What's wrong?" my friend, Venus, asked when I walked inside her condo. "I met a pervert guy." Her brows furrowed and put down her cup on the coffee table. "What do you mean by pervert? Did he touch you or said something you know?" "He fvcking touched my boobs!" I answered really upset of what happened. "Oh my god. What happened? Why did he do that?" "I was in the coffee shop earlier to buy my coffee then suddenly I tripped. I almost hit my face on the floor but that asshole near me tried to catch me by holding my boobies!" Her lips parted after hearing what I had said. My brows furrowed as I am staring at her when I saw a smile that formed on her lips. "Sorry for this reaction but... What if he was just tr

Chapter 13"Have you met before?""Yes, Inspector Finn. He was that pervert guy in the coffee shop.""Woah! Careful with your accusation, Miss.""I'm just telling the truth.""I was just trying to save you.""I think you better talk about that later." The Inspector laughed awkwardly. "We need to talk about the case of Celina here."I sighed and go back to my seat. My brow rose up when he sat in my front. What the fvck! Why is he smiling? I rolled my eyes and averted my gaze, feeling annoyed.We just talked about the current update of the case. Good thing it lasted for less than thirty minutes, I guess. The fvck!

Chapter 14My mind was occupied when I took a step out of the elevator. I shook my head while walking, trying to forget what he said earlier. He knows nothing about me so who is he to meddle in my life. The dark and empty unit of mine greeted me. Ten years ago, I was really scared of dark places. But now it became my comfort. Since I don't have work today, I decided to clean my unit. I can't do this during weekdays because of my busy schedule. I changed the curtains and the pillow suitcase. I just spent the whole day cleaning and making my house more organize and aesthetic. I demolished those things I don't need because that's only taking up space. THE next day, I went to Mall to buy some groceries. I need to restock again because my fridge and food pantries are nearly empty. This is my favorite part of being independent. Buying everything I want from my own money. This is indeed satisfying. I pushed my cart as I am walking to the toiletries section. "Ugh! Why did

This is something really disgusting! I rubbed my body trying to remove the dirt that I know would never be removed."AAAHHHHHHH!" I shouted in anger as my tears burst out in hatred.I covered my mouth to prevent my mouth to cry loud. My body is trembling in fear and grief. But my fear arises more when the door opened forcedly by the man who raped me."Don't come close! Stay away from me!" There it is again, his devilish smile that gives me goose bumps."Ssshh!
