ARMANDOAs expected, the arrogant Clara came to play, showing the whole room how much of a misfit she can be."This is absurd, how does my position play a role in this contract?"The room became quiet as we had all assessed the sheets before letting the terms out, even Damien's lawyer had no say in the action."Say something, you old brat, or are you a pawn in the hands of these traitors?"Her reaction was more satisfying than the main revenge, we had yet to scratch the surface of our plan, and she was already ranting."I urge you to choose your words carefully, first of all, I am only Damien's lawyer, and do you not think if there was anything I could have done that I would not have done it."Damien's lawyer responded as he defended himself in the matter, he was telling the truth and with the way Michigan held her in her grasp, she could have torn Damien's company to the ground."They have the upper hand and there is nothing that both you and I can do about that, you should even be g
MICHIGANThe next morning felt so good as the start of my revenge plan was going smoothly, it was as if the universe decided to make today my day.Full of smiles as I entered the car on my way to the new branch I had set up in the city, everything I gazed at was just another reminder of how good I was feeling.I even decided to tip my driver for lunch, he was surprised to see me all happy as I usually wear my work face every single day."Here, you can go to a fancy restaurant or something just do well to pick me up when I call."I said as I handed him a small stack of cash from my purse.We then arrived at the building and I prepared myself to walk into the next phase of not just my revenge but also the next phase of my life.I stepped out of my fancy ride with a confident and bossy smile as I walked into the building, the workers wore the same look as my driver and at that point, I knew for sure that today would be very different from others."Good morning ma, you are looking rather
MICHIGAN"I have to go check on one of the new warehouses. They are about to start moving some of the products.""I have somewhere else to be at the moment, I just decided to check in before heading out too."Armando responded as we both walked out of the room, I could see Clara staring at us from her desk with disgust.Her countenance caused me to give a smile as we stepped into the elevator."Has he come to see ever since the other day, Damien?"The question sparked a different kind of emotion in me as I hesitated to answer at first, reminiscing how I stood up to the man who hurt me the most."He hasn't and why do you ask?"I responded with a question as I was curious what could have led to Armando asking me such."I mean ever since you ditched him like that, it would only be fair if he tries again to get you to listen to him after failing the first time."Armando made a good point but I was not ready for another encounter with Damien, I do not want to let my easy side convince me o
ARMANDOI could not believe what I heard as I rushed down to the drive-thru, my heart was racing as I awaited the driver to arrive."How could you let her go to the station without calling me?!"I yelled at Michigan's driver as I had no one else to pour out my anger, I feared the worst had happened to my friend."She just told me to take her there and I did just that, she did not give me any reason and I thought she had business to take care of there."The driver made a good point but that did not stop me from lashing out at him, I still needed to exact this anger before I would make an impulsive decision."You should have at least asked her, now she could be in there as a setup for something she knows nothing about."Just as I was ranting at the driver over the phone, my car arrived and my driver was smart enough to explain the reason behind the delay."I am so sorry about the delay sir, I got held up in traffic when coming back from the maintenance shop."His tone exuded fear as he
ARMANDO"He said he is your lawyer."The lady added with confusion in her tone and expression.Before the whole situation escalated as quickly as it could, I immediately spoke up to defend myself and my actions."I am her friend and I only lied to be her lawyer cause you would not let me see her, I was worried she had been detained for the wrong reason.""I do not need to tell you that lying in the station is a punishable offense."The old lady was like a thorn, her words always seemed to ignite trouble which was exactly what I was trying to avoid."I will take it from here, thank you."The detective dismissed the old lady as he had heard enough, he was not happy with my action but he was ready to let it slide."As I was discussing with Miss Michigan before you arrived, she is not here because she committed a crime but rather because she was the last person at the scene before it happened."I was left stunned by the words of the detective as I could not bring myself to believe what he
DAMIENThe sun had yet to dawn on the curtains as I prepared to leave the troublesome woman who called herself the mother of my child for work. I could see her enjoying her lazy sleep as usual.Sometimes I could not stand the look of her on my bed, bound to each other by the son she calls mine and the same one I wake up to wonder if he is mine."I better leave immediately before she wakes to see me."I thought to myself as I fixed my cufflinks and took my phone out.I was about to step out of the room right before I tripped by the door, my action caused Clara to wake up which was exactly what I was trying to avoid from the start."Going somewhere?"She asked with a fuzzy tone as she tried to get herself up from the bed, still wearing the sleepy look as she approached the wardrobe."Where else but work."I responded as I watched her caress her clothes, I could tell she wanted to go somewhere but I hoped it was no way near where I was headed."You will be late for work today cause you w
DAMIEN"Michigan must think I have a hand concerning the reason for this court hearing."I thought to myself as I sat there like a dummy, buried in deep thought just before I was jolted back to reality by Clara's touch."Let us proceed, the plaintiff will begin first."The judge said as the court case began."Thank you my lord and without wasting much of anyone's time, I would like to present evidence that ties the defendant to the crime scene."Clara's lawyer brought out a file containing pictures that seemed to be Michigan standing close to a building, still as confused as I was I decided to calm my nerves and let the whole scene unfold."What my client here is requesting is that she be relieved of all duties associated with the plaintiff, she has suffered a great deal of pain in the hands of Miss Michigan who happens to be her blood sister."The lawyer did his job like he was paid to, make the opponent look guilty but I never really grasped how Michigan would be connected to a crim
ARMANDOAfter the court case was settled, I could not help myself but think deeply about the words Damien spoke to me.His innocence was as clear as daylight but I still did not find it easy to believe, I thought to myself that it might be my impression of him and the resounding hurt I always remember he caused Michigan.Hidden in my room with the door locked to avoid any unexpected guests, I needed space to think clearly before making my next move."What exactly is going on?"These words kept playing in my head as I focused my gaze on the flower vase that sat on the table, I could smite the object with how I looked at it."There is more to this whole incident besides the fact that it revolves around Clara, she might not have a hand in anything just yet but I must find out the truth."My hunger for the truth was the very drive that I needed to take drastic action, one that would enlighten me on what should be done next in the matter.I rose to my feet as I seemed to conclude after thi
