"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?!"

    I smiled at him. He touched my face and said this one thing that touched my heart to the fullest. "Mahal na mahal kita." Then he smiledIlang segundo kaming nagtitigan. That was the longest seconds of my entire life, yet, the most meaningful and lovely moment. Ako naman ang sumunod na magbigay ng wedding vow. Magpapahuli ba ako?"Anthony. . . how lucky am I to call you mine?"Nang sabihin ko 'yon ay nag-iritan ang lahat, lalong-lalo na ang mga loka-lokang kong kaibigan. I glanced at them with my meaningful shut-up-there-or-I'll-kill-you look. Pinigilan agad nila ang pagtawa pero halata sa kanilang mga mata ang saya. I chuckled and looked at Anthony again."For all those times that we've been together, there's always been a mutual understanding that's only shared when two people love each other truly. We've been together for not so long and yet, I feel like it's already more than enough. Marami na tayong pinagdaanan, Anthony. Mga hindi pagkakaintindihan, mga pagsubok na pinagdaanan."

    Atty. Christine Sandoval's POVI was beyond happy. We were beyond happy. Inalalayan ako nina Mama at Jelsey na nasa aking tabi; inaayos ang laylayan ng aking trahe de boda. This wedding gown was quite big and heavy, but the excitement and happiness within me was way heavier. Siguro dahil kinakabahan din ako. "This is it, Mama!"Nakangiti si Mama pero may luhang tumulo sa kaniyang mga mata. Tears of joy I'd say. Hinaplos nito ang aking mukha at niyakap ako nang mahigpit. "Hindi mo lang alam kung gaano ako kasaya para sayo, Anak." Kumalas na din ito sa pagkakayakap at inalalayan na ako palakad sa harap ng malaking simbahan.Jelsey clung to my arm and giggled. I gazed at her and she looked happier than I am. Pero may iba din sa kaniyang mga ngiti. "May problema ba, Jelsey? Are you okay?"She glanced at me and shook her head. "Nothing serious. Naiingit lang ako, Christine." Jelsey pouted. "Ikaw ikakasal na. Another chapter of your life. Ako ito, tao pa rin."I jokingly rolled my eyes and n

    I THOUGHT IT'LL be the end of the video, but there was another episode where Bright was wearing a graduation suit: a black gown with purple velvet on the front, a black tam, a purple tassel, and a hood. Actually, we all are.It's our graduation day.Scene ito na nagse-setup si Bright ng camera at tila may inaayos pa siya sa lens. Ang tagal ngang nakatutok sa mukha niya yung camera kaya naalibadbaran ako. Pagkatapos ng ilang minuto ay iniharap na din niya sa mukha niya nang maayos ang camera at nagsalita. "Hey! This is just the start, Christine. I'll make sure that I'll defeat you in any way while us being the best criminal lawyers someday. Sabay nating ipasa ang board exam ah!"My tears fell from my eyes when I heard him that. I know he's mocking and challenging me at the same time, but I'm pretty sure that he's quite serious about the enthusiasm he got while saying that. He had dreams of us passing the board exam and being the best criminal lawyers in the Philippines.Pinili kong hi

    Hindi na pinatapos ni Prof Magnaye si Dark sa pagsasalita at agad na bumunot ng isa pang papel. My heart sank in an instant when I heard her call my name. "Ms. Christine Villeza. Is Mr. Alvarez's statement correct?"Kahit na parang lutang pa rin ang isip ko ay agad din akong magsalita. Hindi siya magtatanong ng ganyan kung tama ang sinabi ni Dark. "No, Prof. He is wrong. Ms. Jelsey Santos was right.""Are you saying that just because Ms. Santos is your friend?" she asked, intriguing.Natigil ako sa pagsasalita nang sabihin niya 'yon. I didn't expect that rebut from her, especially that was a subjective statement. She seems to be underestimating my sense of justice with that statement. "No, Prof. I know the law and I'm certain that Ms. Santos is right. I will not support her if she's wrong even if she's a friend."Natahimik ang buong klase, kahit na mga maliliit na ingay ay nawala, nang sabihin ko 'yon. Even Bright was looking at me with his mouth opened when I said that. Prof Magnaye s

    "Ohhh. Oh my---- faster, Anthony! Ugh, fuck!" I moaned as I leaned back to feel his tongue even more. I know he's enjoying this. My thighs tightened around his face as I gasped for air. "Y-Yeah, ugh!"He grabbed my ass and pressed my hips onto his mouth, enjoying the pleasure that he was getting from my thing. Then he played with my hard and wet clitoris. Umungol ako nang malakas nang maramdaman kong malapit na akong labasan. He sensed that I was cumming so he swiftly slid his three fingers and repeatedly pushed it in back and forth. "Fuuuck, ugh!" Napakapit ako sa kama habang siya'y mas binilisan ang paglabas-pasok ng daliri sa aking hiyas. "UGHHH!""Inipon mo talaga 'to ah?" he asked, teasing. Halos basang-basa na ang kama pero hindi pa rin kami tumigil."Syempre." I answered, leering. Kahit na bahagya akong nanghihina ay nagawa ko pa ring makabangon, hanggang sa makagapang ako sa pwesto ni Anthony. He was sitting at the edge of the bed while waiting for me to go over him. His rock-

    Atty. Christine Villeza"Wala na bang iba?"Kaninang umaga ay halos paikot-ikot na ako sa kakahanap ng magandang panonoorin sa TV pero wala pa rin akong mahanap. It has been my day off today after all the stressful weeks that I've been through as a resident lawyer in Rivamonte Hotel. Kada oras ata ay may meeting kaming mga head lawyers kahapon dahil patapos na ang karamihan ng mga kontrata sa hotel. We had to have each and other's opinion on this matter. Nakakatuwa nga dahil ang ibang mga abogado doon ay naging kaklase ko na rin noon. Ayos lang din na medyo pagod at mabigat ang trabaho. . . malaki rin naman kasi yung sweldo.Noong hapon, bandang 1:30 pm, tsaka lang ako nakaramdam ng gutom. I prepared my food because Ate Sising was not around to help me. She's with Kuya Caesar, who's on vacation leave. One week lang naman daw, bibisita lang sila sa probinsya nila. Pinayagan ko na dahil wala namang masama kung ako lang mag-isa dito. Sanay na rin naman ako kahit dati pa. I gave them pock
