The day I received my admission to the New York Bar, I finally confessed my feelings to Alex Walker, the man who had been my mentor for the past three years. He was crouched down, carefully fastening the strap of Claire Harrison's designer heel. Claire was the heiress and CEO of a rival firm. When he heard my confession, he stood up and looked at me with nothing but contempt. "Eileen, who do you think you are? You think you deserve to marry into my family? You're just an assistant from some backwater town who happened to pass the bar. Do you really believe that makes you worthy of standing beside me?" Before I could react, he slipped a stack of forged trade secret documents into my handbag. Then he handed me over to Lucas Morrison, the infamous heir to the Morrisons, a man whose ruthless reputation was well known throughout New York's elite. "Mr. Morrison, she's all yours. Make her take the fall for the leaked documents. And while you're at it, teach her to stay in her lane. I've already chosen Claire. I have no use for this one anymore. Do whatever you want with her." His men dragged me away. Alex never looked back. One month later, Walker Law Firm was collapsing under a flood of scandals—fabricated financial records, misappropriated client funds, and malicious lawsuits. Alex finally called me, his voice as arrogant as ever. "Have you suffered enough? Admit those fake accounts and lawsuit files were your doing, and I might consider letting you come back as my assistant." Before I could answer, Lucas let out a low, amused laugh from beside me. "Mr. Walker," he said lazily, "my wife is busy acquiring your law firm. She doesn't have time to be anyone's scapegoat."

The Day I Passed the Bar, He Sent Me to Prison Chapter 10
One year later.Dawn Law Firm had become one of the most prestigious law firms in New York.As for me, I was no longer the assistant everyone pushed around. I had become Eileen Grant, the attorney everyone looked up to.Today was my grandmother's 80th birthday.Lucas had reserved one of Manhattan's finest hotels to host a lavish birthday party in her honor.The banquet hall was packed with guests dressed to the nines. The clink of champagne glasses filled the air.My grandmother sat in her wheelchair. Though she was still physically frail, she looked far healthier than she had a year ago.Holding Lucas's hand, she smiled so broadly that her eyes crinkled with happiness."Lucas, now that Eileen has you, I can finally stop worrying. So, when are you two going to give me a great-grandchild?"Lucas glanced across the room at me, where I was greeting guests."Anne, we'll talk about this. For now, your job is to keep getting better. Whatever we decide, you'll be the first person we tell."I

I stepped out of the courthouse. The bright afternoon sun made me squint."Counselor, congratulations. Justice is served."A black luxury sedan was pulled over before the courthouse.Lucas leaned casually against the driver's door, a bouquet of red roses in his hands.I hurried down the steps, accepted the flowers, and breathed in their sweet fragrance."Thank you, honey."He arched a brow before slipping an arm around my waist and pressing a gentle kiss to my forehead."That's it? Just a verbal thank-you? Counselor Grant, that's a pretty stingy legal fee."I laughed and wrapped my arms around his neck."Then what kind of payment does Mr. Morrison have in mind? I've already signed myself over to you. Do you want the law firm too?"Lucas chuckled, his gaze turning deep and dangerous."I don't want the law firm. I just want you."Before I could answer, he swept me off my feet and gently settled me into the front passenger seat."Come on. There's somewhere I want to take you."The car cru

Three months later.Under my leadership, Dawn Law Firm had not only purged every last remnant of Alex's corruption but had also won several high-profile commercial cases that shook New York's elite circles.I was no longer the assistant everyone looked down on. I had become one of New York's most sought-after lawyers.And the case against Alex and Claire had finally reached its verdict.As both a victim and one of the prosecution's key witnesses, I attended the public hearing.At the defense table, Alex was almost unrecognizable.He wore a prison uniform, his head shaved close, his eyes vacant and hollow. The impeccably dressed, arrogant attorney who had once looked down on everyone was gone.Claire was in even worse shape. Word was that she couldn't handle the conditions in jail and had begun to suffer a mental breakdown. She spent most of her time muttering to herself.When the judge began reading the sentence, the courtroom fell completely silent."The defendant, Alex Walker, is fou

The handcuffs snapped shut around Alex's trembling wrists.He crumpled like a puppet with its strings cut, allowing the officers to haul him to his feet.As they led him past me, he suddenly struggled violently against their grip.His bloodshot eyes locked onto mine."Eileen! You tricked me! You've been playing me from the very beginning!"You had Lucas behind you the whole time! You could've crushed me whenever you wanted! Then why? Why pretend to be so pathetic?"You watched me strut around like some pathetic clown, and you enjoyed every second of it, didn't you?"I watched his futile outburst in silence. It stirred nothing inside me. If anything, it was a faint sense that he was pitiful."Alex, you give yourself far too much credit."My voice was calm."The reason I endured those three years was not to plot against you. I stayed because I genuinely admired you. You were my mentor. Someone I believed in."You're the one who shattered that belief. And you're the one who walked yoursel
