"THIS honorable court of the Supreme Trial Court, Branch 3 with the Honorable Judge Clev Ramiscal is now in session." The clerk first remark.
"All rise. Let's pray. As our Supreme Judge, Almighty God, we stand in your holy presence. We humbly beseech you to bless and inspire us so that our thoughts, words, and actions are in accordance with your will.

"DOES the accused admit to be the same Lavinia Manzana that is the person being accused to allegedly murder, bribery, drug dealing and arson?" "Yes, your honor."

"Does the accuse admit that she extorted money from the public government?" "No, your honor." "Does the accused adm
"MYKEL LAKEEE! BUMABA KA RINEEE!" Sigaw ko sinigurado kong maririnig 'yon kahit sa kabit-bahay pa.Maya-maya lang may naririnig na kong yabag pababa ng hagdan. Nagbukas na agad ako ng isang can at inangat sa ere, nang makita ko si Mancini ngumiti ako."Despidida?"He smirked and walked towards my direction."Wala ka pasok?" He asked and opened one can of beer.
THE next three days, I woke up lightly. I always start my day with exercise after that I prepare myself for work. Wear my contacts, long sleeve, slack and coat.I grab my keys, bag and Lavinia's case file. Nasanay na kong pumapasok sa office ni Mancini, sa sobrang laki ng office niya pwede na rin akong mag-office ro'n."Good morning, Attorney!" Bati sa'kin ni Chizkeyk, ngumiti lang ako tsaka nilagay ang log ko para sa ngayong araw.Naglakad ako papunta sa office ni Mancini. Ilang araw na kong nag-iisip ng strategy para sa bagong marketing namin, medyo bumababa na ang mga kliyenteng nakukuha namin kaya nag-iisip kami ng pwedeng strategy para makakuha ng clients.
HE quickly nodded. "Good afternoon, Ma'am and Sir! What would you like to order?" I smiled. "Good afternoon. I'll take 1 iced americano and caramel frappucino with coffee, caramel sauce with extra whipped cream... To go." "Yes, Ma'am, I received the order... 1 iced americano and caramel frappucino with coffee, caramel sauce with extra whipped cream, to go." She smiled. "Please have a sit and wait for a moment." We both nodded, he payed the bill right away. I couldn't even but in. After a while, we both receive our order. "Hmm, this is sweet!" He exclaimed. I smiled. There it is, the smile that I want. "Told you, just watch your sugar levels." "This is delicious, thank you!" His eyes twinkled, his smile influences mine. You make my whole world balance. DAYS passed, I bec
"HELLO?" I stretched my body. I answered the phone without looking at the name registered, screw it. At this rate, I would get kidnapped or scammed. ["Hey? You alright?"] "Who is it?" I yawned. ["What? This is your so called friend."] I looked at my phone. "Attorney Selvantes?" ["Hmm?"] "Hey, how are you?" ["I'm the one asking you that question."]
I LAUGHED and pointed another ride. "That one looks more scary." It will raise you above 36 meters and suddenly drop you! Bogsh! You'll feel like flying. "Can we ride that? Two people?" Dev asked. "Ohhh! It looks fun!" After touching the ground again, we walked side by side to the next ride. "Attorney, I heard something." Dev tapped my shoulder. "They said that ride is the scariest should we really ride it?" I held his hand. "You said we'll have some fun, come on!"
I IMMEDIATELY got out of my car. I was called up for an emergency meeting, I have no idea on what it is I just came running. They didn`t even bother giving me a clue about the issue that`s why I am overthinking the fuck out of me. I even forgot to grab myself a cup of coffee! I've been awake since last night, I didn't get enough sleep no, I didn't sleep. I've been staring at my phone all night, debating whether I'll call him or not. "Attorney!" Agad akong napatingin kay Devon na papalapit sa'kin. "Pinatawag ka rin?" Tanong ko. He nodded and handed a cup of coffee. "Your secretary is the one who called me."
"ATTORNEY?" I was awoken by a gentle tapped in my shoulders. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the surrondings. "Iñigo? Where is Dev—I mean Attorney Selvantes." Tanong ko tsaka dahan-dahan umupo. Naramdaman ko ang pagkapit mula sa'king likuran. Ngumiti si Inigo. "Nasa likod niyo po." Tumalikod ako at nakita si Devon na nakayakap sa'kin habang mahimbing na natutulog. Inayos ko ang kanyang mahabang buhok na tumatakip sa kaniyang mata. Ibinaling ko ang aking
