CHAP 19: HIS SO-CALLED BEHAVIOR
I was in a rush since I woke up late. I had to leave my two best friends behind and let them take charge of locking my condo. Moving swiftly, I placed my handbag on my table and took my planner. As I was about to open the door to Mr. Ryle's office, he suddenly came out.
"Nam, come with me to the meeting room," he said.

Maxine, If you are reading this, then, my guess is right and that means as well that I am no longer in this world to fight alongside you. I know that no matter what I do to stop you, it wouldn't be enough to eliminate the hate and your desire for justice, for I am feeling the same way too. I want to avenge our
The Culprit's Verdict CHAP. 24: HORROR OF THE PAST
2:03 a.m It had been three hours since drowsiness crept over me, and here I was, wide awake, sitting on the edge of my bed with a heavy head. I rolled over, attempting to get some sleep again, but curtailed when my palm landed on something cold and stiff. Frantic heartbeat and the wild brush of the wind from the curtain of my sliding window intensified the vague feeling that penetrated through my being. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat and quickly opened the lampshade on my side. My hands travelled back and gradu
The Culprit's Verdict CHAP. 25: KNOWING HIM
"You don't eat a lot." "I have a small stomach that's why." Silence followed after I countered my boss's remarks. It had been minutes since we stayed at the National Park after the dinner he sent for the two of us. And here he was, commenting how little I eat. Suddenly, he broke the silence and called, "Nam, look!" pointing in the opposite direction.

Confused, I drifted my gaze and threw him a cranky look, but it was quickly replaced with awe as he revealed a pink rose. "W-where did you get that?" If I could remember it clearly, he wasn't bringing any earlier and there wasn't any rose plant nearby. "From my heart to you." Crinkles on my forehead wav

Rambling my dresser for the dress Juliet had ordered for me online, I stumbled upon the brown envelope I received a couple of months ago from agent Doe. A sharp pain pierced through my chest once again as I opened it."Will I ever find the culprit, Mom, Dad? Will I be able to avenge you from them? Will we ever get the justice we deserve?" I held my tears back as I wrapped the pictures in my arms.A tinkling sound of falling metal distracted me. I looked down to see the key pendant necklace they'd gotten from the crime scene and examined it. "Why didn't I see mom wore this one before?" I thought. This seemed to be a key, but on what? Failing to find the answer to my question, I placed it back inside the envelope.My scanning continued and finally found the dress
